Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Bout to be British innit?!
Does he know what it is? Do we have to reinvade? Imagine if we got him to sign America over to us because he got an extra visit with royalty or something lol
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:
At this point, please take us back. We weren’t responsible enough for democracy.
Maybe you and the decent ones could come over here and we'll send out crappy ones over there. Or vice versa!
Or fuck it, we'll all go beg the scandi countries to take us in. Way crazier stuff is happening right now.
Australia's pretty nice.
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.
Uh no. Your whole history has been fucked from the start.
Civil war happened, and we didn't fix it because Lincoln was assassinated, and Andrew Johnson was pro-South.
We were on this path before Nixon.
That shit already started with Washington, the first american conspiracy theorist poisoning the ideological well of the nascent country by cautioning against enemies from within and without trying to undo the country instead of appealing to the coherence of a newly forming society.
He's just saying crazy shit to distract peoplefrom all the stuff his administration is trying to do.
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.
Wut.
I don’t think Trump realizes how many brown people there are in the Commonwealth
Aren't the Brits also legendarily racist? Like, we had to get it from somewhere.
Yeah... unfortunately we had an incident last year where our version of MAGA tried to burn brown asylum seekers alive. We had some decent anti-racist protests after that though.
He needs them to feed into the machine that powers the Elitewealth.
Brits:
“Nah bruv. We’re fine.”
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?
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
He doesn't understand the King of England isn't in charge of shit...
D'you think he mis-heard 'commonwealth' as something else?
NO. KINGS.
