Rules can't criminalize anything. The thing they're thinking of is "laws". Which haven't changed.

This is not to say they won't arrest people. It'll just either be for a law that already existed that we were just assuming they wouldn't abuse, or it will be an illegal arrest to hopefully be quickly booted from court by a judge.

Also probably lied about how his vehicle got fixed (and possibly destroyed evidence). His official statement contradicted what he told the FBI.

Expiration of the credits is at the end of the calendar year. It hasn't happened yet.

Closer in an absolute sense, but not in a Price is Right sense. One year brings the subsidies to after the next election, when there's no active pressure to apply. I don't know why the Republicans didn't jump on it immediately, this is a giant gift to them.

A one year extension is after the midterms.

And the supposedly left leaning major party currently runs the government.

They missed the best part:

Defense attorney Sabrina Shroff raised questions about Lairmore’s testimony during her cross examination, The Washington Post reported. She showed the courtroom a photo of the sandwich on the ground, almost entirely in its wrapper, after it struck the CBP agent, according to the Post.

“In fact that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all,” Shroff reportedly said.

No, I mean he could raise way more than his defense will cost. He's kind of one of the mythic figures of the resistance.

When the early revolution is recorded to history, we'll remember such luminaries as the Portland Frog, Polka Dot Lady, and Sandwich Guy.

Even if we believe this one artist is a complete moron, are we supposed to believe there was no one among the people setting up the parade and float that recognized the words? Or didn't and did a web search to figure out what the message was?

If he hasn't crowd funded his legal expenses it's because he's actively choosing not to. He could be grifting this so hard.

ProPublica does. The Escapist staff quit en masse and formed Second Wind. Value comes from the workers. When you don't have the overhead of printing presses and the gatekeepers of print distribution there's not that much that the parent company actually contributes to the business.

I'd contribute to a Kickstarter and then become an ongoing supporter.

Seriously. A year ago centrists were talking about what a win it would be to get an endorsement from this man. In reality he was so despised people are cheering his death. The centrists are just bad at politics.

I hope they consider reforming independently. Value comes from the workers and they were valuable. I'd definitely contribute/pay for them.

For every human that is moved into the state of Texas from New York you must transfer ownership of another human to the state.

What? Nothing here is evidence they want(ed) a shutdown. They're refusing a SNAP funding bill because they want the poorly funded program to be leverage for reopening the government.

That they view feeding people, many of which are their own voters, as something that only Democrats care about shows their utter disinterest in supporting the rubes that vote for them, but none of this is part of some Republican master plan or advancing Republican causes.

The investigation concluded “there was no definitive evidence that WCI correctional custody, maintenance, or medical staff failed to perform their duties in such a manner that contributed to the death of Inmate Healy (sic).”

It's one of those no-fault dehydration deaths of an inmate fully under the control of the state. They did everything right and he just somehow didn't get water, wellness checks, or treatment.

Imagine if this was a child, another class of citizen that is assumed to be the responsibility of someone else who basically controls their lives and needs. The guardian, who doesn't have a full time paying job with training and oversight about caring for them, nor a network of cameras and logged activities, would be assumed to be negligent and put on trial in both court and the media.

That's not what the problem is. It only fools systems that just feed the image straight into a race recognition model without trying to correct for it. You don't need to even retrain the model, just use basic image processing to color swap the tattoo before the model even gets it. The tattoos are easy to isolate computationally.

Facemasks work great. There's a reason the gestapo are using them.

People like the makeup because it looks like a cool cyberpunk future, but the moment a pipeline is designed to compensate for made up faces it will fail. Simple image processing can replace makeup hues and yield a roughly true color unobscured face.

Schumer whipped them for a funding bill, but not the Big bill that increased ICE's funding by a lot. That one passed with a bare majority and Republican defections. I think it they'd stayed strong them the Republicans might have needed to use their one bare majority bill on that and they could have resisted the later bill.

But he's just such a colossal failure and should be removed as leader and then from office next year. Democrats in leadership just fail and fail and never get removed.

Having to publicly disclose your bribe can be unwanted by some bribe makers.
