Impeachment is by the House. Removal is by the Senate.

I agree. He needs to be removed. But the Second Amendment doesn't legalize insurrection. He needs to be impeached and removed by Congress. And we have a Congressional election going on.

Are you saying that more people need to join the National Guard? That doesn't seem like a quick fix.

The Second Amendment doesn't legalize insurrection. The steps for Constitutionally removing a President are either vote for someone different in the next election, or convince Congress to impeach and Remove them.

100

Yes, because the Second Amendment didn't have anything to do with private gun ownership before 2008, and it shouldn't. It's about something else entirely.

An American @kittenhawk1.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

No. The Second Amendment is meant to protect a division of military power, the continuation of the State Militia we call the National Guard, to minimize the impact a dictator like Trump can have domestically, but it doesn't legalize insurrection.

Problem is that Trump takes more than he gives, so even thinking he's going to give people 5k in violation of the law isn't something to hope for, no matter what you vote for afterwards.

Sorry, I know it's not original, but I couldn't find a cleaned-up version online; they all had horrible JPEG compression and clipped the *for perpetrators at the bottom, so I cleaned it up myself.

I've been trying to diet lately and I just realized that I no longer have to unbutton before I go pee, so I'll take that as a sign that I am making progress... and that I have to make sure I don't go out without a belt...

The only people who would knowingly oppose that division of power are people who want the US to become an Autocracy, not those who support our Republic as designed.

Tyranny is the consolidation of power. His ruling didn't make it legal for non-citizens to vote, he simply said that the Constitution says elections are up to State Governments not the Federal government, a Constitutional division of power. Thus the ruling was the opposite of tyranny.

It's amazing to me how quickly people will demand tyranny while saying they oppose it. Twitter is now full of people claiming we need to impeach a Judge for "allowing non-citizens to vote" claiming it's Judicial Tyranny - when his ruling was the opposite.

I had one tooth location continually grow new teeth until my late 20's. I probably lost a tooth in that spot 8-10 times before it stopped. That experience has had me waiting for a solution like this since the 90's.

We need more LGBTQ movies that aren't just "oh my, you're LGBTQ, how do you deal with that?" but are really Action/Sci-fi/Vampire/Romance etc movies that have strong LGBTQ characters as leads.

If "deep state" is the nonpartisan government workers who formed the foundation of the US Government, what do we call the extreme partisans who this Administration has been replacing them with, and we will need to purge next Administration?

When I heard they were continuing Stargate with a new series I broke out my DVDs to refresh my memory and get ready for new episodes. I now have two episodes of SGU left and there's no longer a continuation planned, but I am more certain that I couldn't watch a reboot.

Some MAGA voters are waking up. That man's approval ratings are dropping all the time. I don't understand why it's above 0, but the fact that he's in the 20's now vs where he was is a good sign.

000

Yes, stop voting for MAGA candidates. Only vote for people who actually believe in Democracy and the Rule of Law, not oligarchy and tyranny.

000

A better reminder isn't just that the 2A exists, it's what it's for, and that it's not about personal firearms ownership. Which is why I shared my reminder.

000

I got the message loud and clear—the "armed insurrection as a political check" idea. Dressing it up as a "hidden message" or dog whistle doesn't change the fact that it's a modern fantasy, not what the Framers wrote.

100

No, that's not the primary reason for the division. It's to keep domestic deployments comprised of local state militia. Federal U.S. troops are not supposed to be deployed against U.S. citizens. The Framers designed it such becuase they didn't like how British Arms were deployed against us.

000

to ensure the continuation and effectiveness of the organized state militia. It's not about personal firearms ownership.

000

Not really. The 2A doesn't legalize insurrection; it just ensures the continuation and effectiveness of the organized state militia to ensure there's a division of military power.

100

It's an obligation at the state level. They have to ensure the continuation and effectiveness of the National Guard if the Federal Government neglects to do so. But the 2A isn't about personal firearms.

001

We need to continue the fight for the ERA, and other civil rights legislation, that's what's going to protect Women and LGBTQ from having their gun ownership rights taken away. Trying to depend on the misinterpretation of the 2A only strengthens their arguments.

121

and destroying federal institutions that operate independently - all part of the MAGA agenda to convert the US to Authoritarianism - at which point it will be even easier to take guns away from anyone not part of the cult.

111

The goal is to consolidate power. They are weakening divisions of power whenever they can. Stacking the court so that it follows political party lines rather than impartially interpreting the Constitution, putting presidential loyalists in Congress,

100

They are trying to remove private gun ownership rights from minorities already (which isn't what the 2A protects). Those manipulating the misinformation that the 2A is about private gun ownership want to weaken the relationship between the National Guard and the State Government.

100

True superpower reach relies on dependable global partners and structural trust, not just domestic hardware. Slicing away at NATO, the UN, and alienating allies hands the strategic advantage straight to near-peer rivals, like a China/Russia/North Korea alliance.

Trump claiming the US is the world’s sole superpower rings hollow when MAGA America First isolationism actively undermines the global alliance network and forward logistics that built that status in the first place.

I thought that said Heller was about abolishing the Second Amendment at first, which is more correct than Hillary wanting to.

Many Republicans these days don't even know what the Second Amendment is for. They think it's about private gun ownership.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

No Framer of the Bill of Rights or Supreme Court Justice ever explained that the Second Amendment is about gun regulations outside the scope of the organized militia before 2008. The idea that the 2A prevents common-sense gun laws is bogus.

while making them look completely different. The storyline would have worked fine with the race as they exist in Doctor Who, but why make them look like Vulcans?

I just started watching the latest season of Strange New Worlds and I got excited with the early Doctor Who reference, it's fun to think the two shows exist in the same universe, then they introduce a race of people firmly established in Doctor Who lore...

He obtained his wealth from taxpayer dollars long before he ran for President, he managed to get crazy tax breaks from New York for projects early on. He's been cheating the system his whole career.

I don't really like those sorts of comparisons because they sort of normalize Trump. Sure, those other two weren't great, but they were better than Trump; he's more like Hitler or Saddam Hussein than either of the Bush presidents.

We don't know when we'll return to the original interpretation of the Second Amendment; all we know is that it's far from settled law right now.
