is there a list of onion headlines that later happened in reality? this one still would count because the headline refers to the announcement which did happen even if the actual event was canceled

I wouldn't be surprised that they actively try to realise onion articles, part of their chaos strategy to make you forget billionaires' money was stolen from you and Trump is a pedophile
An onion article means the public is already semi expecting it. They probably see it as a green light.
That's half the reason they project too.
Seriously though, public executions would be interesting. Shooting is too easy to fake, so I think guillotine where head leaves shoulders, is a good thing. Maybe start with those doing crimes against humanity (like some war crimes), or for USA maybe those guilty of treason (that's a pretty bad crime), or perverts that Epstein files proved guilty. I would watch a couple. No way of botching one like the drug injection fiasco recently. First a fair trial, then chop.
Trump took it back like the coward he is
TACO
While I 100% agree with the sentiment: They already canceled it.

Thanks for info! good to know
They got it under the wire. Good for them.
Meanwhile White House staff are scouring The Onion's site for more policy ideas.
It's part of the plan.. do outrageous stupid shit on purpose while they rob behind doors.. catch up to it folks..it's all smoke and mirrors while mugging the country.
