I can't be the only Brit who's deeply ashamed that King Charles is making a state visit to the USA. It's embarrassing enough that we still have a monarchy, in this day and age, without the King indulging a petulant psychopath who has threatened to invade allied nations and rolled out the red carpet for Putin.
What next, a banquet with Kim Jong Un?
@ApostateEnglishman In 2066, William needs to dissolve the monarchy, abdicate all lands and titles to the state, be called William the liborator and bugger off to Normandy after a thousandish years of foreign rule. -

The monarchy should be dismantled. People can’t afford to live but the king and president enjoy lavish lifestyles. They are all useless.Once upon a time it was thought that Charles would be a reformer and modernizer of the monarchy. No such luck. Although he may succeed in making it less popular than ever.
Royalty, like all the other super-wealthy, need to be taxed down to reality.

Couldn’t agree more! The world can’t afford to keep wealthy pedigree humans as circus animals anymore. Time for them all to get real jobs. -

'What next, a banquet with Kim Jong Un?'
They haven't decided; depends on the May elections.

@ApostateEnglishman A visit to Epstein Island?
No wait, that was his brother... -

@ApostateEnglishman You're not the only one. I did sign the petition saying that the King shouldn't go, but like all of those petitions, it was ignored. I just hope that Trump doesn't hold Charles hostage and refuse to release him until he's given Canada - the orange idiot is mad enough to do it.

@ApostateEnglishman When your very existence is a status symbol and bestowing your attention is by definition an honor to the recipient, & it turns out status and flattery are the only thing (besides money & rapey opportunities) that the petulant psychopath stopping world trade notices, then you’re the best chance for your nation to have any influence. Sucks that it comes to this, but as a citizen of the former colonies, I’d rather have Charles than Stephen Miller in that ear now.

@ApostateEnglishman I recommend that no one visits the United States at this point in time. It is not safe for many of us living here, let alone visitors from other countries.

I'm not clear on the cutting off his own son, but socializing with the far worse perpetrator.
Makes the whole Andrew thing ... odd, and makes the King (pausing to insert the opinion that monarchy in this century is utter bullying, in and of itself), grubby.

@ApostateEnglishman Well, he might have gotten a fitting reception….

@ApostateEnglishman unless it's a really clever gambit to defeat the Trump regime. After all this visit must have taken ages to set up. Charles III can only move one square at a time!

Y'all have the opportunity to make a pretty heavy statement to history by making this your last king.
Then it would be the UK's last king visiting our first. It has symmetry.

Shoulda teamed up with the Pope, perhaps he could've sent him some Bishops.

@ApostateEnglishman the pope has been chasing Trump all around the board already. Have you not seen how angry Trump's minions are that they can't take him off the board. But that's the advantage of unlimited diagonal movement gives him.
