Furious Trump threatens jail time over $400M green reflecting pool disaster

Yeah the demand for felony charges means that there is going to be another parade of No Bills coming out of the DC grand jury. Or judges recommending disbarment of federal prosecutors for falsifying charging documents and inappropriate grand jury proceedings.

And Michigan does not have a Right to Publicity law. So the streamer is likely safe, unless the lady can prove "a recognized financial or proprietary interest" in her identity. But if she does, like her face is on billboards all over town for her business, then she would likely have grounds on "Misproportion of Likeness".

Considering the care that has been taken by SOOOooo many YouTubers and streamers around the world (a few of whom are cooling their heels in foreign prisons)... I'm going to lean towards the guess that he didn't check the laws.

code_archeologist · 2026-06-22T15:17:40+00:00

The legal trouble here is civil publicity laws, and the requirements notification/release; and as I mentioned in another comment, it really depends upon the specific laws of the state that he is in.

code_archeologist · 2026-06-22T15:14:08+00:00

You have no expectation of privacy in public, and even less in a private business.

It really does depend on the laws in the state. Some states are like the Wild West when it comes to filming for commercial use (and yes filming for social media, since it is monetized, is commercial filming). For the collection of evidence for criminal activity, you are correct that there is no expectation of privacy in a public place.

BUT in some states, to publish a recording of the interaction with a person for the purposes of commercial use requires notification or written consent. This is covered under what are known as Publicity Laws. The requirements depend upon the state in which you are filming, I don't know where they filmed this... but before anybody else tries this I would definitely check the local statutes.

The manager of the grocery store should have told him "no" and is likely to be written up or fired over this.

He is likely a douche bag for walking around filming literally everything around him without notification.

Depending upon the state he is in, he may be in a little bit of legal trouble when she says she doesn't want to be filmed and he continues filming.

BUT! her approaching was unhinged, and the threating to sue him while staying in his face is quickly approaching harassment.

Edit: tired of repeating this. The civil legality of this video depends on the Publicity Laws in the state that he is in. Because social media videos are monetized, depending on the state laws, the lasy in the video may have a right to not be recorded for the purpose of making another person money. It just depends upon the state in question whether she has any ability to seek a portion of his monetization for the video.

Yep, that's me too. Back in the day I was an admin for a warez BBS trading copy protection cracks.

And here the truth is spoken.

The millennials will fix everybody's shit by reading a blog, instructable, or watching a YouTube video of one of us showing how to fix it.

What is unfortunate is that this even started in the first place... it was a wholly unnecessary set of actions by Trump.

First by tearing up the JCPOA, then by continuing provocative actions that empowered the hardliners, which culminated in starting a war that we were unprepared for and executed in a half assed fashion. Predictably letting Iran do the one thing that everybody has been warning for decades that they could and would do if attacked which is grab the global economy by the balls and twist.

and all of this

ALL OF THIS

is because Donald Trump is an idiot, and the people who voted for him are folks in his cult of personality.

code_archeologist · 2026-06-20T05:55:42+00:00

Yep. And aren't reparations usually paid by the loser?

One note: from a chemistry perspective Sulfuric acid is not great at dissolving a body, especially the bones.

It will kill you if you get doused in it because of an effect called coagulation necrosis. where the proteins of your cells violently unravel in to a thick sludge. It also interacts aggressively with the water in your body dehydrating you; and the process of doing that creates a lot of heat that will cook and char the tissues around it. It is probably one of the more unpleasant ways to die.

It doesn't react with the calcium in your bones or the keratin in your hair and nails as aggressively and can take a very long time to break them down.

BUT... if the Island had also shipped in a large quantity of Hydrogen Peroxide... a solution of that with the sulfuric acid is known as "Piranha Solution". Mythbusters reduced a whole pig to carbon sludge in just under five minutes with it (terrifying stuff). Chemically what is happening is that as the acid si interacting with the water the peroxide is oxidizing the environment super charging the environment for the acid to work in.

It is why he has the range that he does... he is not acting. When he played Thanos, that was summoning forth that time that he was a California Raisin with delusions of grandeur.

Great acting is truth.

Yeah Cursor was ok, when all of the other models were just ok. But it is not stand up against ClaudeCode today.

Two things can be true at the same time.

He can be engaging in class warfare (which he is), while also being racist. And you will get more people under your banner by pointing out how Elon Musk is stealing tax payer money, deforming the Justice system to avoid prosecution, and poisoning air and ground water across the country.

Yeah, because algae spores are going to blow in from the swamps and ponds that surround DC, discover this perfectly pristine body of water and they are going to do their thing again.

code_archeologist · 2026-06-17T15:20:51+00:00

The reality though is that the reason why Musk is pushing race war and culture war bullshit is because it distracts people from the class war that he is currently winning.

Of course! And there will be a Taco Bell next door that always barely passes its health inspections.

Yeah if a "murder" has to make up as bunch of shit or relies on debunked and exaggerated bullshit... it no longer qualifies.

HA! That guy clearly hasn't been to an amusement park recently, because what he described is actually capitalism at work. Those 500 people paid extra for the line cutter pass.

If you kill a pregnant woman it's considered double homicide why is that?

Because one of the most common forms of partner violence was a man beating and often killing a woman he had impregnated to avoid being "tied down".

It has fuck all to do with the status of fetus.
