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.

Glad to see they aren't sanewashing:

freewheeling press event ... false assertions

The speech veered from incorrect crime statistics to political grievances. He tied the takeover to cultural issues, railing against “sanctuary cities” and saying, “That’s why they want men playing in women’s sports. That’s why they want transgender for everybody. Everybody transgender.”

This is just another step towards tyranny and hopefully towards collapse. People who say it's not such a big thing and we "libs" are overreacting as usual, forgot that they said that about 100 other things, too.

Incidentally he's kinda making sure he "wins" the next election.

I just hope the country breaks down before that. Sorry, US Americans.
