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.

Yet we all know the voters don't know the what the republicans are. That voters know they are being screwed if not by whom. The only ones promising to do anything about it were republicans.

Amazing how such a simple point is missed by so many because you trust fancy people that tell you otherwise that have been wrong about everything. In the next breath complaining about the media owned by corporations after people working for those same people spoon feed you your opinions.
