McKee lost his Democratic primary to Helena Foulkes, a former longtime executive with Rhode Island-based retail pharmacy CVS, the Associated Press said on Wednesday.
That's actually one of the more clearly written judicial headlines I've seen. Gotta sprinkle in "overruled", "stayed", "injunction", and "dismissed" to maximize my WTF Meter.
Never too late to fuck shit up. I won't relax until the next Congress is sworn in. Even then I think I'll only give myself a week of not giving a fuck.
All the people that are "doing the right thing" by quitting are handing the reins of power over to madmen. This admin has demonstrated, countless times, that they'd rather lie than govern.
It's nearly an impossible question to answer in criminal scenario. An actual photo of an exposed minor is clearly harm to that individual. Putting their face on a fake but believable body is nearly as bad. Then you get to the sort of 5-10% gap where it could be them or inspired by them, but few would believe it's an actual photograph. It all goes downhill from there. Cartoonify someone, give them bigger boobs and put them in a bikini on Mars and we start to wonder how this got to trial. It would be a huge gift to lawyers but I think most of this needs to play out in civil courts.
The problem there, which we won't ever solve because it's far too personal for most people, is that pedophilia is a mental disorder but we put it on the same level as child sexual abuse. So nobody would dare admit to it and nobody seeks actual treatment for it.
And use of the model drives demand for it, just like purchasing real CSAM. Even if the subject is now 50 years old, it incentivizes abusers to make new material from people that are currently underage.
