The Great Headline thread

the merger between the gov't and corporations is almost complete
what's odd is Trump is more in charge than the corps

I couldn't believe Zuke settled and gave Trump $25 million in that case, but I guess I can believe it

then read how Sinema and LaCivita are joining the board at Crypto Exchange Coinbase


what honestly scared me the most was this sentence:
Trump learned "a lot about [crypto] from Barron" and said that he "wants to be on the forefront" of the industry in his second term."


so not actual experts, but his teenage son…yikes Idiocracy was a documentary

Now see, that is textbook fascism.

You read these stories about major German chemical and industrial companies like IG Farben and Krupps and how close they were with the Nazis…. That’s what I always think fascism is…

Sinema, what happened to her??

does this mean sewage systems are becoming sentient?

It’s a great idea until they ban you by mistake and report you to the authorities. And how would they actually go about doing this? Some kind of MSG facial recognition stuff?

Careful what you ask for. You’re next.

Lots of places do this (issue a "denial of entry" or similar to individuals who show themselves to be a threat or nuisance). It's very difficult to directly enforce but violators can be legally charged with trespassing, or possibly worse depending on the conditions of the denial. If the WMATA jurisdictions wanted to put some teeth into it, they could enact anti-trespassing laws that embellish sentences for those found guilty of violating a denial of entry order (and perhaps they already do).

Who amongst us hasn’t done this

One of the men on trial over the theft of a £4.75m gold toilet from Blenheim Palace has admitted he used it the day before it was stolen.

This is the trial of the Century in Julian’s America. People have been stealing our bathroom fixtures for decades and people act like it’s a victimless crime.
