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.

    Sure, go after the builder while your house is on fire. Sounds smart.

    The Democrats fucked up the campaign, there’s no doubt about it, but Trump said he was going to do this. They literally published their plans and they’re following them.

    The people who didn’t vote to stop him made a decision, and because of that choice we’re here now. The voters were last line of defense.

      In your dumbass analogy here we are setting up to build more houses, paid by us, built by them, with the same faulty electronics.

      You didn’t answer my question, you just repeated your slander. Didn’t answer whether that is something you do consciously or not either. So I guess that means I win, logically. Enjoy your new house!
