‘Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm,’ the former Georgia congresswoman wrote
Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”
“I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,” Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.
“Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”
Despite video showing that 37-year-old Pretti was filming federal officers but did not have a weapon drawn, the Trump administration has claimed he had tried to assassinate agents in an act of “domestic terrorism.”
National divorse is in no way a euphemism for civil war. There’s literally a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government, that’s what national divorse means.
Not from here, huh. Well, that’s alright. 1860 wasn’t the same everywhere around the world, of course.
What is the constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government?
A convention of states to amend the constitution; explicitly saying that specific state is no longer apart of the U.S., or inserting another legal route of succession into the constitution.
Much easier, and at the same time much more difficult than civil war.
Uh, no. That’s not a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government; that’s a constitutional way to amend the constitution.
And why would we want to? I am so fucking proud of Minnesota right now you can’t begin to imagine. Why would I want them to leave? They are arguably the very best of us.
No, the one that needs to leave is the orange chancre and his minions. Why are you not talking about that? Minnesota’s not the problem here.
Another? I’m still waiting to see the first.
Is it constitutional to amend the constitution? Then how is that not a constitutional way?
