they may be "ready" to deploy but they ain't going for the most part. They aren't shooting anyone. There isn't going to be an end to posse comitatus or habeas corpus. We aren't about to have a coup.

This is a guy who is too weak to fire his own Attorney General, but he's going to start a coup??

Nothing more....

Perhaps we should send reading material to the boys parked out there with nothing to do.

snip..."How long could it take for the migrants to reach the U.S.?"
snip..."Reports about a caravan of migrants coming to the U.S. from Central America have been featured prominently in the news cycle in past weeks, but the group is still far from the U.S."
snip..."The caravan was near the city of Tapanatepec, Mexico on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. That is in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, about 1,000 miles from the U.S. border."


It's going to be weeks before the caravan gets to the Mexico-US border. But a large number of troops are there to scare the foolish ignorant deplorable trump voters onto going to vote next week.
