President Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room Monday morning, declaring it “Liberation Day in D.C.” and announcing that he was taking over Washington, D.C.’s police force. Invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a rarely used provision of federal law, Trump said he was placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct White House control and deploying the D.C. National Guard into city streets.

Concerning and fascist.

Also another distraction from the EPSTEIN FILES.

I'm not so sure. Could be the other way round - every step you take towards dismantling democracy, you kinda want people looking the other way.

Yeah, but this time confirming Trump is a sadistic rapist will change peoples minds about him!
