    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.

      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.

      I really wish removing a president wasn’t so difficult. We’re all staring at the train wreck being told it’s completely normal for a train to be running off the tracks.

        You just need someone with better aim than the last guy who tried.

          Last 2 guys who tried.

          Remember there was that dude with an AK hiding in golf course bushes. He didn’t shoot, but you can also count that as missing his shot, as he was well within the range of the rifle.

    Does he sit on the floor of the oval office getting high and sending out memos? “Man, wouldn’t it be cool if we were like, you know, part of this kingdom man…”

    " “I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!” Trump wrote in response to the report." He sounds like he’s been invited on a date.

      Sounds more like a Musk idea.
      I can see his gigantic ego and narcissism telling him he needs to wear a crown and scepter.
      Then surely the plebs will finally respect and validate him.

      He’s giving positive replies to whatever dumb shit his followers post to him on mastadon. And the media is still trying to milk him for all the clicks possible. Covfefe shit all over again.

      There’s real shit to be worried about. Like the extra-judicial deportations, ie Mahmoud Kahlil.

    Hold on, let’s ask George Washington and see what he says, oh right, fuck you traitor.

    Benedict Arnold at least had an understandable (if stupid) reason to flip sides. Trump’s just an idiot.

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