Capitol Police Inform House Democrats About 3 More Plots to Take Over the Government

It appears that last Wednesday’s attack on the U.S. Capitol wasn’t the only gruesome demonstration that Trump insurrectionists had planned.

Capitol Police informed Democrats on Monday night on a private call that there could be three more possibly grim attacks happening in the coming days, Huffington Post reports. New leaders of the U.S. Capitol Police told House Democrats that they were keeping an eye on the three separate plans that could be seriously dangerous for members of Congress, particularly as Washington D.C. gets ready for Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration on Jan. 20.

According to the USCP, the first is a demonstration advertised as the “largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil.” The second is a demonstration in honor of Ashli Babbitt, the woman who was shot while attempting to get into the Speaker’s Lobby during last Wednesday’s siege of the Capitol.

The third demonstration would comprise of insurrectionists encircling the Capitol, the White House, and the Supreme Court, and then obstructing Democrats’ entrance into the Capitol—maybe even assassinating them—so that the government can be handed over to Trump-supporting Republicans. The rioters hoped to protect Trump in the White House and shut down the courts.

I know the prohibitions against the US military getting involved, but are they going to sit on their hands as the
US government is taken over by white supremacist Trumpers?

And they are a well trained and armed force.
So the odds are much better.

1) ANY GOP member who would accede to being handed power by an encircling mob of terrorists and assassins should IMMEDIATELY be seized, charged with treason and executed will all due haste.

2) IF those demonstrators are not encircled by law enforcement and beaten or shot IMMEDIATELY upon a sideways glance or verbal threat, then EVERY assigned officer should be charged with providing aide and comfort to an enemy of the United States and also be charged with dereliction of duty, sedition and if egregious enough, also treason.

3) ANY actual violence started should be met with airstrikes and lethal force to show that these kind of attacks and terrorist actions inside the USA will be met the same as similar attacks and groups OUTSIDE the USA. Terrorism is terrorism and any attempts to differentiate between domestic and foreign is anathema.

The entire GOP that are making excuses for Trump and seeking to hold power by ingratiating themselves to the mob had better be put on notice that doing so risks them being labelled as seditionists and possibly charges or and penalties for treason.

ENOUGH already. These threats and those that make and abet them need to be eliminated with extreme prejudice.
