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.

When I read it earlier I burst out laughing

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

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

If Russian speaking parts of Ukraine should be ceded to Russia by Trump's opinion, English speaking parts of the USA may just as well join England again.

I understand the plan now. America was great when it didn't exist

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have no fucking idea what to make of this

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I'm beginning to think he's a bit enamoured with class, Sir Keir seemed to come out of his meeting with Trump relatively unscathed too. Almost like he sees posh people as his social superiors?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He wants to be seen as classy and powerful so bad. Hence his overt placation of dictataors and the generationally wealthy. It's so pathetic.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It is more insane. The people controlling trump were ready for a win this time. They weren't in 2016, but they rectified that mistake by getting closer to him and stroking his ego while telling him what to do.

The commonwealth is just another club for countries like the G7 these days. A lot of countries have been joining recently.

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 2 days ago

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

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.

They already wasted the tea. There is no way to unwaste the tea.

Is that how we'll annex Canada? Get the crown to hand it over as dowry for our reentry to the Old Dominion?

[–] Jakule17 9 points 1 day ago

The French are already asking for the statue of liberty back, so it’s only right if he does that

[–] HelluvaKick 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

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

No taxation without representation, but in reverse.

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

[–] Z3k3 8 points 2 days 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

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