If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

Tim Walz dropping out of the race for a third term is the direct result of Republican threats to kill his entire family after they had already murdered one of his state’s representative and her husband. — Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

So Trump is in “perfect health,” but he wants “nice, thin blood.”
Next, we’ll find out he’s taking his medical advice from RFK Jr.

Same way Kushner got one, I imagine. It was just approved by Trump. He can do that. Background checks are for the client to do with as they wish. The client here is Trump.
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.
