The Only Thing the January 6 Traitors and Domestic Terrorists Deserve is Scorn and Jail Cells

In their latest attempt to rewrite history to tailor a White Nationalist-Proud Boy-Fascist-Cult of Personality Interpretation of events, MAGA infiltrators in this government from have proposed giving honors and compensation to the domestic terrorists and traitors who stormed the Nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021 at the behest of the Felon in Chief and twice impeached Donald Trump who instigated and encouraged the attack.

According to multiple reports, the Air Force is planning to grant a military funeral with full honors to Ashli Babbitt who died while trying to harm Capitol Police, Congressional Staff, and the Nation’s Representatives on that day.

Let us not mince words.

Ashli Babbitt was not a hero. She was not a defender of the Republic.

She was a traitor and domestic terrorist who deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave so no deranged MAGA Fascist nut job can pay tribute to her.

Did they give Revolutionary War traitor Benedict Arnold a funeral with full honors after he died?

Of course not.

Babbit does not deserve that honor period.

Writing for the Bulwark, Retired Three Star General Mark Hertling condemned the Air Force Decision, commenting:

“I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power, one of the most sacred traditions of our Republic. To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as the young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs.”

In a series of posts, Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego strongly condemned the move, writing:

“Next President should take away the honors given to Babbit and demote her as well as change her status to dishonorable discharge.”

“She was a traitor. There was nothing honorable about her.”

“You know how shameful this is? @potus or @SecDef have refused to issue a press release or a tweet in support of this action in their name. Trump and Hegseth both know she was a traitor or else they would be touting this action.”

“I served in combat with 23 Marines that died for their country and deserved full military honors. Ashli Babbit deserves nothing, certainly not full military honors.”

Gallego and Hertling are both right.

Babbitt deserves nothing and what the Air Force has decided to do in giving her full military honors is obscene.

What is just as obscene is, thanks to Trumps publicly calling these “people” “hostages,” the pardoning of the over 1500 domestic terrorists who were charged with crimes for what they did that day, and the agreement to pay the Babbit family $5 million in a wrongful death suit is the movement by lawyers like AR-15 lover and Trump fans Mark McCloskey and Peter Ticktin leading an effort to gain financial compensation for these vermin under the disgusting claim that the Biden/Harris Justice Department went after them on false charges and needlessly persecuted them with prosecutions.

Let us not mince words here either.

These bastards do not deserve one God Damn penny.

No matter what Trump, his devoted supporters, and the scared members of the Republican Party say or evade saying, these over 1500 “people” are traitors and domestic terrorists who deserve scorn and permanent residence in federal penitentiaries.

If Trump’s lawless Justice Department gets away with paying hardworking and law abiding taxpayer money to these enemies of the American Ideal, then a new Democratic Administration should arrange sizable and better than before financial restitution to the surviving victims of Japanese Internship Camps, Native American Sterilization efforts, individuals who were unknowingly harmed without their permission with illegal drugs, the families of children who perished in school shootings while Republicans obstructed on gun safety legislation, and people who became ill due to living in toxic-polluted areas.

At least they, unlike the January 6, 2021 Domestic Terrorists, deserve it.
