Trump's takeover of the U.S. capital’s police force is a distraction from his own rampant wrongdoing.

You probably won’t be shocked to hear that after losing his seat in the Canadian election & barely putting any effort into his safe seat “campaign” in Alberta that he needs, Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to complete the normal security check and try to get the standard, ordinary security clearance.
Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith asked US administration to "put things on pause" to help Poilievre get elected as PM x.com/cspotweet/st...

Casar: "Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas history. And the two of them are working together on the most corrupt scheme I've ever seen. What they're trying to do is insulate Trump from any accountability for his crimes."
