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.

    Maybe you shouldn’t have anointed the most unpopular option for president running a status quo campaign against republicans running as reform, then blamed everyone else for not doing what they long made clear they wouldn’t do, vote for worthless status quo democrats perpetually. Not the least as Biden did NOTHING with his presidency.

    Still passing the buck, blaming everyone else. You knew she couldn’t win, forced her anyway, on a campaign you knew couldn’t win, and forced it anyway. Now blame everyone else to keep the same people that chose her in control to fail us all over again.

    It’s just unbelievable the arrogance of those of you that support the democratic party establishment. Disgraceful. You are the problem, not everyone else.

        Speak for yourself. I laid out an irrefutable case.

          You just said that no one else is the problem except the people who voted for the Democrats. And you think that’s an irrefutable case? You are delusional or intentionally trolling.

            You just keep slinging libels because you can’t answer the question, there is no stopping the worst people through this democratic party under their leadership.

                Exactly, by running as the status quo you allowed him to make everything worse.

                    That a score of half wits agree with you does not make you right, or me, what would you call it, baaaa’d.

      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.

        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.
