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.

    2024 wasn’t the first election. People have tried your idea for decades at least. People were begging for change so much, Americans elected a black guy with a Muslim name, and don’t have shit to show for it but more wars, more families kicked out of their homes, more suicides, and more bankers running the government. Occupy Wall Street accomplished nothing. The Iraq war protests accomplished nothing. March for our Lives accomplished nothing. BLM riots accompanied nothing. WV voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary and won him every single county, but Clinton won the state. Harris had to drop out of the 2020 election before a single vote was cast, and she was APPOINTED as the Democratic nominee in 2024, so voting accomplished nothing. What exactly would you have people do? And yes, electing Trump also won’t accomplish ending wars, or releasing the Epstein Files, but how can you blame people for having hope, after being let down for electing a Hope & Change candidate, and getting shit to show for it?
