      At this point, please take us back. We weren’t responsible enough for democracy.

        We were for 200 years, but then Nixon happened, and instead of fixing it, we doubled down with Reagan, then instead of fixing that we got here.

      It sounds ridiculous but then I wonder if trump could resist the offer of a knighthood.

        We can only hope Charles takes the opportunity that would avail itself: photo of King Charles knighting someone, sword upon their shoulder near their neck

    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.

        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!

        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.

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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. 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 a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.

That’s all the rules!
