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.

    Praytell what little things did he do?

    Things went to shit faster than with any dem before, his popularity was underwater for 3 years, he stabbed unions in the back, provided air cover to no one trying to do anything popular like lisa khan, no grand reform, no attacks on health insurance, drugs.

    If you say negotiating on ten drugs after first giving them 2 years to prepare to negotiate was a great victory I have nothing more to say to you.
