Some 1,500 active duty Army paratroopers have been put on alert for a potential deployment to Minnesota, according to two defense officials.

They’re ones who are trained and equipped for arctic warfare. This is kind of thing you do when planning to massacre civilians.

Edit: The Washington Post is now saying the same thing:

Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say

Soldiers with the Army’s 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed at the ready following Trump’s Insurrection Act threat, according to defense officials.

    Biden was hands down the most progressive presidential administration in my lifetime. He did tons of little things that everybody - including actual leftists - really liked.

    But he will always only be remembered as the person who failed to hold Trump accountable, thus clearing the way for his second term.
