Please don’t elect Temu Trump (Pierre Poilievre) or Trump’s useful idiot Doug Ford.

I guess Arthur was wrong, you do vote for kings!
At least it wasn’t decided by a strange woman lying in a pond distributing swords. That would be no basis for a system of governance!
Frankly, I would trust a watery tart throwing a sword at someone much more than the American people.
well…
I’m no monarchist but in Canada we have an actual king and the idea that HRH would busy himself with such petty quibbles as …tolls is laughable.
Also, if the King tried to do anything, it would trigger a constitutional crisis in Canada and we’d collectively tell him to get fucked.
wellp, time for guillotines, i suppose.
I support this.
No no, you’re not reading it in the right tone of voice, it’s Long Live the King
They make it seem like regicide is a bad thing.
Fuck congestion charges; your new King just gave himself supreme executive power over every single federal office including the ones meant to regulate him.

Constitution is terminated (just like he said he would)
Article I
Section 9 Powers Denied Congress Clause 8 Titles of Nobility and Foreign Emoluments No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S9-C8-4/ALDE_00013204/
Trump has been throughly wiping his ass with the constitution since the day he stepped into the whitehouse.
It’s just meaningless paper until someone actually steps up and enforces it.
“Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”
~ attributed to Denis Diderot
It’s a lovely dream, but I’m pretty sure we’ll just come up with a different title for the people who manipulate us.
We already did, and now they want to be called kings again.
This is another Trump special, really. There’s no shortage of titles for the dictator, including just keeping “president”, and he picked the one that’s hardest to defend in terms of the American mythology.
Kings never really went away. Points to the entire British Commonwealth and the UK. Emperors neither. And let’s not get started on priests…yeeeesh!
Are you talking about specifically the USA? Because you’ve kept your priests, and treat your Presidents like de-facto kings, their reigns may end but Presidents they remain.
Maybe that’s the motivation for invading Canada. Trump the First, by the grace of God, of Canada King, Defender of the Faith.
“long live the king”, in the very country founded on saying fuck you to the last king. what a shameful display.
I was reading or watching some news story once and it was about these two blokes getting arrested for fucking farm animals. And it started a train of thought. How do two strangers meet who are into fucking farm animals? It isn’t like it is socially acceptable. Its probably not on their dating profile. I get that if you are part of a comparatively common group experiencing social repression you learn ways to communicate. Even pedos. But animal fuckers? Are they that common?
Now call me autistic if you like but suddenly I realized some of the edgy race jokes I had laughed at when I was younger and dumber might have been actual racists looking to connect with other racists. The sexist and homophobic jokes might have been actual bigots. And the guys joking about fucking animals. Well most of those are just jokes because obviously nobody does that. But perhaps some of them are looking for a special friend.
So now when I see a fascist dog fucker “joking” about their not meant to be serious fascist memes and symbols the illusion is broken for me. And when I see Presidents joking about being Kings, it isn’t my type of humor any more I guess.
Who jokes about these things? Plausible deniability my ass. I ever hear someone joke about fucking animals I’m gonna slowly, no actually, rapidly back away
Who jokes about these things?
Exactly. Have you ever heard an elected president joke about being King or invading their peaceful neighbor? Ever? Anyone? Animal fuckers. Its the only thing that makes sense.
At work we say “there’s many ways to fuck a cat” implying you can do something different ways.
We also say “it’s not my dog to fuck” when it’s not your job
Or “I’m fucking the dog” or “they’re fucking the dog” when someone is taking a stupid amount of time to do things.
Well it sounds like these are idioms, not jokes.
I’m an ADHD person and I had this exact same realization when I was younger.
I think maybe this isn’t something neurotypicals ever figure out? Because they seem to be accepting of those “jokes” and it blows my mind.
They’re well evolved to survive in social groups. Even if they suspect someone is recruiting for something terrible, the loss of social status and allies isn’t worth confronting the recruiter. Even visibly suspecting it will harm social status. This is a feature, not a bug.
Historically, the kid who called out the emperor’s new clothes was executed. Every time you started shit in your tribe, you risked being shunned, which meant death. If the whole tribe was crazy, you were better off being crazy too.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Pretty sure it was just really dumb, low IQ dudes, the no one else really liked, who got along and one decided to share or got caught fucking an animal, and since they newcomer was also a virgin, this didn’t bother him as much as we would hope wh n he took his turn.
But dumb people get caught, so now we all know.
Any man who must say, ‘I am the king’ is no true king
Loosely related topic but in the last few years I’ve noticed a uptick of people online prefacing a absolute horrible takes with “I’m xyz(entirely unverifiable)” or just some like “I’m very smart” then says something entirely idiotic.
I think you just came up with rump’s new name.
Well… Except for these kings? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_monarchs_of_sovereign_states
I don’t think they need to go around claiming they’re the king because their status isn’t challenged.
Very REPUBLICAN, that traitor.
America needs a 1918.
or an 1814.
The government is too big, why are we paying for healthcare, school, welfare and whatever else? It is unfair to those who don’t use those services.
…oh, except roads and the military, everyone must pay for those.
It’s amazing how many of these policies are posed as a simple fair rule (people should pay for what they want, not have the government decide where spending goes) but in actuality is just a convenient excuse for dismantling institutions that they personally don’t like.
Also corporate and bank bailouts are fine
A country losing its way and straying far off from the ideals it originally strived for, becoming the very thing it fought against without realizing. That describes both the USA and Israel to a T.
