Muffled Lodestar @muffledlodestar.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Please, push back on this "conviction" narrative!! Demand the receipts! Under what court was he (or any of them) convicted? Where is the indictment; the arraignment? Where is the sentence issued from the court? These are ALL public records, so they're not that hard to find. 010

Because if Trump can legally say “We can’t bring him home” without having to prove it, that means he doesn’t have to bring anyone home.
