Right wing torture fantasies turn domestic

The Daily Beast says they "watch Trumpland TV so you don’t have to, today we learned that far-right outlet TruNews wants nearly the entire government and national media to be imprisoned and, in some cases, waterboarded at Guantanamo Bay. No, really, look at this handy graphic they created"
Last time we checked on TruNews, they were claiming that Tom Brady was under the spell of witchcraft. Now, the full panel is on board to credulously claim that the nation is under attack by the FBI, NSA, CBS, NBC, and especially Andrew McCabe and Rod Rosenstein—whom, in the mind of host Rick Wiles, ought to be dragged to Cuba and personally waterboarded by “Gina Haspel and Dick Cheney.”
It could be Rex Tillerson. It may have been Jeff Sessions. It could have been Nikki Haley, we don't know! But according to McCabe, two people in the Cabinet were willing to overthrow the President of the United States. That means the President of the United States was holding cabinet meetings and he had snakes sitting around him. Hissing snakes!
The media, government agencies, intelligence agencies, technology firms, all in a massive conspiracy against the constitutionally elected President of the United States.
Wiles concluded his discussion by noting that Rosenstein “ought to be facing the electric chair.”
Maybe Tillerson, Sessions, Haley etc assume these weirdos are just fringe characters and it doesn't mean anything. After all, it's not like they're Hillary Clinton where people are drooling and screaming for blood when they chant "lock her up." They're Republicans, after all.
That isn't going to protect them. Here is the President's bff Lou Dobbs (whom he reportedly "cherishes") last night on Fox News:
“Why is the establishment in Washington D.C. not screaming for the arrest of Andrew McCabe and all of his cohorts in the DOJ and the FBI? Why is is that there seems to be almost a satisfaction in the status quo, no matter how rancid and corrupt in the swamp that id D.C.?”
Schlapp said he’s “disgusted by it” too and the one person who can take action is current Attorney General Bill Barr, saying, “I’d be greatly disappointed if he doesn’t.”
Dobbs again asked, “Why the hell isn’t the Republican Party standing up and demanding his arrest?”
“You know why,” Schlapp said.
“I do not know why, or I would not be asking you,” Dobbs responded.
The answer was that the Republicans are all terrified of the Deep State.
You know, all the investigators who've been fired by their patriotic Dear Leader.
