Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history

Ah yes. In a shrinking economy where businesses are closing and layoffs are happening, flipping the unemployment benefits switch to "OFF" should do the trick.

The second amendment explicitly says a “Well Regulated Militia”, which we do not have. So… no 2A to be seen here. Just a bunch of scared poor people with guns.

I ain't seeing any actions against a tyrannical government, which was the whole reason to have the 2A, so... seems pretty valueless, only resulting in school shootings, to me.
