What is even happening

Am I the only one who things this is way more insane than 2016-2020? He did tell people to drink bleach but that is borderline stable.

Nyone surprised? He is undoing the USA, so he might as well go back to roots!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Pfff do they even want us at this point 🤣

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Dude thinks the world would be better off if the allies had lost WWII and now also if the US had lost the Revolutionary War.

Total loser who craves losses.

the u.s. could join, as recognizing the crown as head-of-state is not a requisite for membership and has not been for decades.

the day the diaper in chief of the united states accepts the harare declaration (incorporated as part of the current charter) is the day scientists prove that rainbows are made from flying poptarts with cat heads.

He can start by fetching out all that tea they dumped in the Boston harbour

Um... does he know what the Declaration of Independence is?

Who’s going to stop him?

Wait is this the real reason he wants to take Canada? So he can return it to the brittish empire?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Probably just an ingenious ploy to produce clean energy from the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is a 4d move. You guys join the commonwealth under charles then once in all of us in the commonwealth see how much winning you guys are doing under trump and vote yo replace charles with trump

Fucking genius play if you think about it

I mean it's logical.

We go from destroying Nazis to employing Nazis. And we did that after destroying ties to an overreaching monarchy, so let's get it all tied tight again, right? Full circle.

Next stop is giving back land to the natives?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Trump. The most logical of all. The most logical. Everyone is saying it. And frankly, I think they're right.

This guy might actually be the dumbest man on earth.

I've seen this move. This is what I do in CK3 when my economy is about to crumble

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I've seen it manny a times when I form THE EMPIRE with Britain in HoI4, it required the short lived dominion of North America to make all of the USA and Canada a British core. Conquer the US and hand it to Canada, perfection.

We thought the Cold War never ended, but it was actually the Revolutionary War all along

Britain rips off a Russian mask and gallops away laughing while sipping tea

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wait a minute. If we do that, he can’t punish Canada. Then again he’s stupid. 🤷‍♀️

Trump swearing loyalty to King Charles wasn't in my predictions for this year

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 month ago

Take a picture of Trump kneeling in front of King Charles and share them to Maga world

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago

there are 56 members of the commonwealth of nations. of those, only 15 are commonwealth realms. the rest are republics or a different monarchy.

india was the first republic member when they transitioned from dominion (with british monarch as head of state) to a republic in 1950.

commonwealth members need only recognize king charles as the 'head of the commonwealth', which is a purely ceremonial position.

Lmfao what?

Actually, you know what, that’s a great idea orangeboi. Let’s go for it.

To the Brits: considering this is basically us coming back to you hat in hand, I think it’d be quite reasonable to exact some sort of penance from us. Perhaps we could surrender our President to the King’s tender mercies? Hell, you can just take the whole Republican Party if you want to make some old-school object-examples of what the appropriate treatment of fascists is.

Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we'll consider it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I will find a way to supply you with tea thoroughly for the rest of your natural life if you take that orange fuck off our hands

I thought he wanted to be a king, what a dumb dumb.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Might be easiest to join a ready made monarchy in that case. All you have to do then is claw your way through the ranks til you reach the throne. No need to change the constitution. :)

Donald Trump is "The Slack Bladder!"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I just started watching Black Adder, so I’m glad I was able to get the joke. Great show for those who haven’t seen it btw.
