I don’t think he will be “in prison” in any sense during the booking, so it doesn’t sound too important about how close they are.

Is it clear how close they have to be to an ex-President at all times? Is the law written that they need to be in visual contact at all times? I have no idea.
Probably the only reason Mexico hasn’t already pulled it out is because they don’t want to waste money that they know will never be reimbursed to them.
Maybe the US will take it down and bill Texas themselves.
Sounds like Mexico can just take down most of this thing.
Edit: As a US citizen, I support Mexico’s immigration services to detain any Texas construction workers that illegally cross the border to service this thing.
I also would support the governor of this region of Mexico to put these construction workers on a bus and drop them deep in the heart of Mexico somewhere.
It’s been less than three years since this crime.
I lost track, but I assumed this was already part of the mishandled documents case. We’ve heard so much about this recording already, I didn’t realize that he hadn’t already been charged for this.
Agreed. But the owner of the building would presumably be able to control modifications of his own building.
But unfortunately not stupid enough to actually testify.
There’s no way he would testify in any court proceeding where he doesn’t have to. This is just public bluster like always. It seems like the only good advice he takes from his lawyers is to avoid testifying to anything under oath.
You can blow out a candle
but you can’t blow out a fire.
Once the flames begin to catch
the wind will blow it higher.

They are the last lyrics of Biko, by Peter Gabriel. The way he sings those lyrics as the song builds toward the end hits me every time I hear it. The last line is sung after a slight pause, and it sounds like a veiled threat to the leaders of South Africa that killed Stephen Biko. Also, it didn’t take a long time for change to happen in South Africa after the event, but when he wrote the song it was still several years away. So at the time it was still wishful thinking that “the wind would blow the flames higher”.
I’m curious why they haven’t been kicked out after not paying rent for so long. Why does the owner allow him to stay rent free?
Also possibly becathe doesn’t own the building and needs approval of the owner.
In a trial, the prosecution goes first and presents their full case. Then the defense gets their turn to refute anything presented by the prosecution. Even if he pleads the 5th, his lawyers will do their best to refute any presented earlier by the prosecution.
Are the sites with other top level domains like archive.is the same company? I’ve seen requests to donate to various Archive sites but I can tell if they are all the same company.
I would like to see Jimmy Wales run Twitter and Reddit clones. If there is anyone that you can trust to not turn a website into a commercial entity, it’s the guy running one of the world’s most visited site with no advertising.
Maybe Wikimedia can host Mastodon and Lemmy server.
Either him or the guy who runs Craigslist, with no obvious intentions of trying to wring money out his site
Cindy Crawford looks looks incredibly manly. That’s the weirdest one for me.
