Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

Amid all this rending of garments about interfering with a foreign sovereign like El Salvador, it's interesting to recall that there's a statute directing the president to invade the Netherlands if an American is ever detained by the Int'l Criminal Court

To put that in local purchasing terms, London bike costs same as half a pint while Toronto costs 1.5 pints

Embarrassing stuff from ABC given the serious issues that exist in the United States. Keep in mind everyone here is part of the Disney family so there's a marketing element. But if I'm a serious news viewer: I no longer take ABC's This Week seriously again. I choose my viewership elsewhere.
