Election officials in Minnesota learned of a private security firm’s plan to deploy ex-U.S. military special ops personnel to polling places only because a Washington Post reporter reached out to ask the officials about it.
Caudle said they were being hired to make sure that the “Antifas don’t try to destroy the election sites,” while insisting to the Post that voters would not be intimidated by the sight of former military personnel at the their polling places.
Perfectly honorable mission: protect election sites from marauding “Antifas” while not intimidating voters. What could be more legitimate?
But then:
recruiting the private security forces on behalf of a consortium of businesses and “concerned citizens” that Caudle refused to name.
Hmm … maybe they’re just shy and don’t want public displays of gratitude.
The Republicans have no rivals when it comes to horrible solutions to non-existent problems.
I wonder if he’ll have to name them to a grand jury.
How many ex special ops guys are out there? And if they’re so special, wouldn’t they have something better going on in their lives than to sign up for this?
Well said!
I like where you’re going with that!
He said his firm was focused specifically on recruiting ex-special ops personnel because “they have a better understanding of how to defuse a situation.”
Who knew?
“Negotiate with the red wire!”
Hmm, if convicted of the federal offence of interfering with poll operations, could these ex-special ops types be losing a pension or two? They may want to think twice about this, considering that long dormant laws might be enforced next year.
Thinking about it, this may be a modified false flag operation, to make voters think any fuckwit hanging around a polling place dressed in camo accessorized with “tactical” doodads is ex-special ops. A force magnifier, as it were.

Just WTF.
In other words, totally legit and not just a dark money laundry.
Typical Trumpers.
Show up heavily armed where no one else is armed.
Trump will show at polling places with a box full of The Presidential Medal Of Freedom" for his good people.
If they’re not there to be poll watchers, and are there to protect businesses are they going to stand armed on roof tops watching for rioters and looters? And since this year we won’t know the outcome for days, if not a week or so, how long are they going to stand around protecting?
Also because “they have a better understanding of how to defuse a situation,” which I take to mean better training in shoot to kill tactics.
There’s a practical limit to how many mercenaries Academi, fka Xe Services, fka Blackwater, can employ.
So, the special-est.
Damn, I just posted this morning that this kind of thing would be ramping up…why can’t any of my posts wishing that Republicans would lose power and we’d have a progressive future come true that fast?
He won’t say anything about who is supporting it or their plans because it’s conservatives supporting it and the plan is to terrorize Democratic voters in urban areas. And, yes, terrorize…they want to scare people away from the polls so Trump and Republicans win, so terror is the appropriate word. It’s especially true because they are trying to cover with “antifa” when there is zero chance antifa would interfere with anyone voting…it’s cover for white supremacists interfering with the election.
American voters are going to be confronted by this, it will happen, and the entire point will be to scare people off. We’re going to have to stand up to the threats and bullying. We’re going to have to vote, despite the obstacles, and then we’re going to have to stay strong as these assholes become violent because things didn’t go their way. It’s going to suck, as it always is when you stand up to a bully, but they are cowards at heart and won’t be able to defeat all of us.
If every guy who claims he was a Navy Seal really was one, there would be nothing special about special ops.
be sure to charge up the cell phone before going to vote. take lots of pics and videos.
they may be needed to settle some issues that are sure to arise.
