Roger G. aske me an interesting question a couple of days ago: Since defunding the police was the plate du jour, would the Democrats defund the Capitol Police?
Even thou according to sources, the Democrats are trying to distance themselves from that idea because it hurt them in the elections, I believe that they secretly like the principle if it brings forward a way to control cities by fear and the possibly the creation of a Federal Police that would patrol at a local level.
But for the particular case of D.C. I told him the following:
I believe they would. Green Zones always expand, never contract. And they will need more NG for duties, maybe even a new military unit dedicated exclusively to DC duties. Make it MPs to bullshit the average joe.
A task force charged with making recommendations to boost congressional security after a deadly Jan. 6 pro-Trump mob assault on Capitol Hill has proposed establishing a permanent military presence ready to go at a moment’s notice in Washington, D.C.
The security review, led by retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, who ran military relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina, recommended establishing a permanent National Guard quick reaction force, or QRF, for all of D.C.
Task Force Calls for Permanent National Guard Force to Protect DC.
If the walls and barb wire around the Capitol is Fort Pelosi, the n this new unit should be called Nancy’s Praetorian Guards. It would make her moist.
And any Republican legislator (or politician for that matter) that still believes he/she should make nice with the Democrats, deserves the long prison sentence he or she will get for committing dumbassery in the First Degree (Believing he will be spared).
“General” Honoré [sic] is a textbook example of the fact that a person can’t necessarily be trusted to have any respect for the Constitution or for American liberties, just because he supposedly once served in the military.
A point I’ve been hammering for months
“A nd any Republican legislator (or politician for that matter) that still believes he/she should make nice with the Democrats, deserves the long prison sentence he or she will get for committing dumbassery in the First Degree (Believing he will be spared)”
Exactly what I keep telling my elected officials. Giving your enemy what they want will not make them your friends.
This observation is very familiar to any gun owner who has been paying attention. “Dumbassery in the First Degree” also applies to any gun owner who votes for a Democrat, anytime, anywhere, at any level.
Ummm… They are called a ‘Praetorian Guard’… They will be carefully ‘screened’ for their loyalty, you can bet on that.
Perhaps we could come up with clever name like Special Services? Maybe just use the initials.
Yes, but so were the Praetorians of days past. It worked some of the time. And some of the time it didn’t work at all; 69 AD is a year that comes to mind.
“It would make [Nancy Pelosi] moist.”
Thanks a lot! Now I have to poke my eyes out like Oedipus, plus I may never be able to keep food down again.
