Whatever their reasons, those who attacked the Capitol, rampaging and destroying - causing the deaths of one Capitol police officer,four rioters, and injuring some 150+ Capitol and Metro DC officers - while accomplishing none of their objectives besides branding themselves for all time as terrorists and traitors to America.
Most alarming are the revelations that both police and military personnel were part of the insurgent mob.Additionally, on Jan. 5thactual members of Congress conducted surreptitious "reconnaissance" tours of the Capitol for a yet to be identified number of insurgents to facilitate locating and capturing, or worse, those Representatives and Senators whose duty it was to officially certify the Electoral College results on the next day.
Federal authorities are now in the process of tracking down and arresting the motley, deranged and pathetic collection of domestic terrorists, who, embracing the vacuous calumny of the Mango Mussolini, undertook to re-enact our shameless appropriation of the American continent by invading the very seat of our government to prevent the certification of the election, and carry out the assassination of V.P. Mike Pence and Speaker Nancy Polosi, who incidentally are No. 2 and 3 in the line of succession to the presidency. (Would that qualify as a kind of coup?) But I digress.
Non-state actors, a.k.a., terrorists have none of the rights and protections afforded uniformed military troops as per The Geneva Conventions. This was the basis for the doctrine of the Bush Administration: circumvent U.S. and International law by imprisoning and interrogating captured enemy combatants in foreign black sites or at that pearl of the Carribean, Guantanamo Bay. In the years since, many were returned to their homelands, but some - deemed too dangerous to set free - languish in limbo, or Club Gitmo,as right-wing radio slime merchants have dubbed it.
Club Gitmo can accommodate 612 guests, but currently only 40 or so are detained there, guarded by some 8500 marines and sailors. We annually pour $380 million into the operation of the naval base, prison and military court - that comes to $9.5 million per detainee/terrorist per year; a terrible waste of our tax dollars, don't ya think?
Thus, in keeping with our policy towards terrorists, following arraignment, everyone of those terrorists/ traitors should get an all-expense-paid vacation to fabulous Club Gitmo - no bail, no excuses, and no exceptions. (Think Kyle Rittenhouse) It would take incredible "chutzpah" for these demented wretches to claim the protections of the American legal system they attempted to overthrow.
Acting like you’re a moronic, brainwashed revolutionary might seem like good macho fun -
Poking the Eagle definitely is NOT!
