Trump’s new AI website believes he is the “former” president and acknowledges his criminal indictments
Screenshot of America.gov answering, “Has a president ever been criminally indicted? If so, who?” The response says former President Donald J. Trump has been criminally indicted and that no sitting president is shown in the cited sources as having been indicted. It cites Trump’s August 1, 2023 federal indictment on four counts related to conduct after the 2020 election, as well as Congressional Research Service information noting additional New York and Florida indictments.

bell hooks was right as always, and on top of that, America always uses kids as pawns. Denying kids school lunches to make cruelty the point. Using "kids online safety" as a Trojan Horse for feeding more data to Big Tech and denying resources to kids in the LGBTQ+ community

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

I agree with @jvl.bsky.social. Dems would do well to conduct serial impeachments. First Heggy (if he is not convicted in Dec, after he IS impeached in House), then RFK. Then prioritize based on what will either gain support among Senate GOPers OR embarrass them. www.thebulwark.com/p/impeach-th...
