So wait then we can join that weird low rent commonwealth games Olympics knock off? Fuck it why not let’s do it.
Only if the Red Coats take back the USA as their former colony and press fucking RESET.
MABA - Make America Britain Again
MAPOC - Make America part of Commonwealth
(if that could fit on their stupid red caps)
MARC - Make America Rejoin the Commonwealth
I don't think even the UK wants Trump.
He has some fans, but for the most part, no.
So does that mean July 4th will no longer be a holiday?
As non-functional as it is, we don't need to make it ten times worse. If this happens Elon and Trump will likely behave like they own the rights to every resource on the eastern members of CW.
Also trying to side with an openly fascist, sexist, racist president? King Edward III much?
an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a "secret offer" to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.
Ah yes, the classic cuck king making deals to give more power and alliances to a fascist. What can possibly go wrong? Let's ask Vittorio Emanuele III and Michael I of Romania.
This is why monarchy has to be destroyed, every single atom of it.
My general rule is that people that are super upset about the monarchy don't have very many real problems in life.
The great feature of the monarchy is that it's a lightning rod for idiots. People who are subservient can be subservient to someone non-political that doesn't have any power. And pretend revolutionaries that don't have any grasp of any real issues show themselves to be the non-serious people they are.
Charles is making zero deals giving power to anyone; any words out of his mouth on this are coming from the UK cabinet.
The Sun is News Corp garbage, why are we even taking it seriously?
You don't need to go too far, King Edward III is believed to write letters of good intent to hitler, urging him to keep bombing the UK a little more and that they would cave in.
This would make a great entry point for the protests against this. And the left should be a bit opportunist and use the "proud British" rhetoric that the right used for Brexit against US "taking over leadership of CW"
The president shared an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a "secret offer" to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.
The idea to join the Commonwealth was first floated during that 2017-2021 term.
This is for real. Now Brexit makes sense.
They always belonged together.
Both horrible neoliberal callous policies.
The old imperialist empire and the one that took over from them trying to catch up in warcrimes and death count.
British Royals playing the longest game. Now I halfway excpect the Spanish inquisition next...
Not mine..
The commonwealth is just another club for countries like the G7 these days. A lot of countries have been joining recently.
What the fuck? I know it's Donald Dump, but despite all the insanity happening since his inauguration this is the first headline that manages to surprise even me. Dude's talking about annexing Canada and Greenland on one hand, but then bows to the former UK colonial project? What?
GG Trump, I honestly did not see this one coming.
I am wondering if he thinks this means unrestricted access to natural resources of eastern members lol
Same here, even amongst the craziness so far, this one surprised me.
Were you expecting reason or consistency?
Of course not - treason and inconsistency!
Don't even bother reporting this drivel.
The USA can join the Commonwealth by becoming a Territory of Canada. Just give us a sec while we change the rules on representation in the house of Commons.
