Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

I think his plan would be to try to take it over and become king somehow?

Charles, fwiw, I feel like this situation is so unprecedented that you could very feasibly let him try, and then just whack his head off at some point with a fuckoff huge claymore and remark disdainfully that “his life was an insult to Our Throne and Empire”, then everyone would nod and agree, and then nip down to the pub for a pint.

Look, no disrespect to King Chuck, but he could no more swing a claymore to any effect than Trump could string together a coherent argument.

All I mean to say is that if he did something monarchic that ultimately resulted in orangeboi’s cranial region losing acquaintance with his neck and torso, I would not be upset by such a development.

I just really love how all this is worded.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago

I think the clumsy wielding and erroneous chopping would make for an even more entertaining decapitating, but it may require for Trump to be properly tied or chained to something sturdy.

Side Shower Thought: any form of capital punishment of Trump may make the English King popular again after give or take 250 years, what a celebration and historic moment that would be!

He's just saying crazy shit to distract peoplefrom all the stuff his administration is trying to do.

I don’t think Trump realizes how many brown people there are in the Commonwealth

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

He needs them to feed into the machine that powers the Elitewealth.

Aren't the Brits also legendarily racist? Like, we had to get it from somewhere.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Brits:

“Nah bruv. We’re fine.”

[–] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Isn't that the literal opposite of what the founding fathers wanted?

[–] NimdaQA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I mean, go ahead. It’d be funny for America to join what they fought so hard in the 18th century to leave.

America’s founding fathers are rolling in their graves.

I don’t know , it’s certainly better than the tyrant in charge now.

Trump HATES America

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He doesn't understand the King of England isn't in charge of shit...

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do you want Oceania? Because this is how you get Oceania...

doublethink

D'you think he mis-heard 'commonwealth' as something else?

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

How well would US Xian nationalists (Christofascists) get along with the CoE? Is the latter, like the former, actively attempting to acquire absolute power over social matters in their country? Would the two be of like minds w/respect to doctrine?

Bout to be British innit?!
