Democrat Panel Recommends Permanent Military “Quick Reaction Force” For Capitol

Summit News:

A Democrat appointed ‘task force’ has issued a report recommending a permanent military security force be stationed around Capitol Hill.

The task force, headed up by Army Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Russel L. Honoré, reported back to Nancy Pelosi, suggesting that a “quick reaction force” be formed and put on standby in addition to Capitol police.

The report notes that DC is “a high-value target for foreign terrorists or domestic extremists, yet it has no dedicated QRF for response to crises.”

It adds, “The USCP relies on augmentation from other civilian law enforcement agencies for emergency support, but we recommend establishment of a robust, dedicated QRF, not only for the USCP, but to serve the nation’s capital writ large.” more

  1. A nuther step towards a Martial Law or a Stratocracy!
    It is also another clear indicator that they absolutely know they are in the wrong and that they know that we know and they need to build up their defense to any resistance!

  2. …this is kind of the same function castles had in the medieval world. It was not to defend the peasants, but so they could smack the peasants down quickly if they ever defied the King or his local lord. The physical building was deliberately intimidating and the knights insufferable as a constant reminder that the serfs lived and died at the whim of their rulers.

    …it’s really kind of amazing how history repeats…

  3. I was in Beijing back in 1998, and one thing I will never forget is armed platoons of soldiers appearing out of nowhere, jogging or marching, at any random time or place. I had never seen anything like this in American cities. The only thing like it that I have seen since then are squads of soldiers patrolling the tourist areas of Paris.

    This QRF bullshit is just toe-dipping into totalitarianism. And General Honore is Stuck On Stalin.

  4. …of course, this arrangement carries its own peril. The praetorean guard can sometimes choose the ruler for themselves, as they are beautifully positioned as the strongest force around and don’t take to being abused forever, no matter how vetted they may be at the outset…

  5. Makes DC look like a 3rd World Shithole. I was in Bogota Columbia a few years ago and there were armed soldiers on every corner.

    This is “never let a crisis go to waste” in action. And, it’s a crisis in the minds of chicken-gutted politicians only. And I am disgusted that the military does whatever Pewlosi tells them to do.

    Pelosi: General, please be a good boy and go to the market and buy me 3 gallons of Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream…

    General: Right away Madam Speaker…I’ll be back in 10 minutes or fall on my sword if I don’t.

    This is the exact opposite of what we want in our country.

  6. Anonymous, in Paris, Islamic terror cells target police and troop patrols.

    And isn’t it weird that the same people who masturbate to Kent State, want to defund the police and abolish ICE are all hot for armed soldiers on every street corner in DC? I guess the first black thug who goes down in a hail of National Guard bullets with harsh that buzz.

  7. TBH I would much rather prefer that the USCP have a QRF or a SWAT Team , trained and in-place then have National Guard troops permanently stationed there, a better allocation of resources.

    And it would be better for the country if politics could be removed from this issue altogether. If back in 2016 a group of BLM/ANTIFA thugs breached the Capitol or somehow disrupted Trump’s swearing in, we would have all demanded that the USCP(and whatever resources they had at disposal) step in and crack some skulls.

    The USCP needs the manpower and funding to do it’s job so I don’t see this as particularly sinister. But I see a huge problem with putting ideologues in charge of the policing and Gen. Honore is a terrible choice, his prejudices have compromised him way beyond being objective or effective.

  8. An admission of guilt.

    Guilt of Voter Fraud.
    Guilt of Treason.
    Guilt of Usurpation.
    Guilt of Violating their Oath of Office.
    Guilt of Perjury.
    Guilt of Corruption.

    izlamo delenda est …

  9. You gotta wonder what these totalitarian scumbags have in store for us for them to turn the Capitol into a goddamn fortress forbidden city. And, of course, all of this fascist shit is being supported by the same assholes who went apoplectic when Trump suggested using the NG to keep inner city neighborhoods by BLM (Ball Licking Motherfuckers).

    I doubt there were any “treasonous traitors” storming anything that day. Sure, there were many ANTIFA punks laughably dressed up as Trumpters instigating, and some real Trump supporters succumbing to mob hysteria, no doubt later regretting it. Naturally if there is credible evidence of criminal activity, all of them should be prosecuted.

    But it’s always good to see measured tolerant libs like yourself advocating waterboarding and lynching. You guys are soooooooooooooo civilized.

  11. Your comments go against community standards.
    If you feel your conspiracy theories have been deleted in error, please go sit in the corner and wait til no one gets back to you.

    When the right can speak freely in the liberal zone, you will be allowed to speak here.
    Fuck off.

  12. They think they can make the United States an Empire held together by force.

    Their Empire will crumble around them in the upheavals that follow. Unfortunately I think ti’s too late to stop the catastrophe the Left is bringing us to because them mean to destroy the Republic and establish an Empire.

    “I doubt there was any Antifa supporters”

    Have you been paying attention;

    https://nypost.com/2021/01/07/known-antifa-members-posed-as-pro-trump-to-infiltrate-capitol-riot-sources/

    https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/01/07/was-antifa-at-the-capitol-protest-here-are-the-facts-and-the-guy-who-threatened-to-rip-trump-out-of-the-white-house-n306039

    There are several other sources as well, if you really want to know.

    “Just want to see justice”

    Me to, but justice is trying the actual criminals, the ones that committed assault and vandalism, not the 99.9% of the actual folks there, folks that were only exercising their 1st Amendment rights. You do believe in the 1st Amendment, don’t you?

    “any extremist group that threatens America’s way of life”

    You will have to define that one for me, way too much wiggle room for my tastes.

    If indeed you are an Independent, then why all the hyperbolic nonsense about waterboarding and lynching? As much as I hate ANTIFA and the BLM thugs, I prefer the police arrest them and lock them up for their crimes, not real big on lynching.
