And the one thing Oliver Cromwell should have taught you all is that when you set clear precedent for what happens when the head of state takes the piss, it doesn’t tend to reoccur.
American politics is built around worshipping the cult of the presidency, and whipping the office holders into shape has been repeatedly rejected on the basis of “harming the dignity of the office”.
Sandringham is one of the King’s private residences. So who he chooses to invite there and how they are received is up to him.
A state visit is commissioned by the government and the King has no choice in who is invited or how they are received.
Why are egg prices high? A Bird flu epidemic that has run since 2022.
Trump’s DOGE fired several key USDA officials working on containing the bird flu outbreak. So that’s directly going to increase egg prices. It’s also going to reduce the efficiency of the only process that’s going to reduce egg prices - getting the bird flu epidemic under control.
To fill the shortfall, eggs would usually be imported from Canada. Trump started a trade war with Canada. Again that’s going to directly increase prices.
The price of eggs can’t be reduced by economic policy, only by agricultural policies. But we also know from his choice of Health Secretary how much Trump values vaccines.
On the other hand, Trump’s economic policies will increase the price of eggs and prolong the effects.
So Trump wandered into a house fire that was already burning, shot himself in the foot, then opened fire on firemen and paramedics attempting to rescue him. And the American consumer is meanwhile trapped upstairs.
Significantly. The F-35 programme is a 50-year one. Trump won’t even be alive in half that.
It is flying in a straight line, but is doing so around the edge of a sphere. The map is distorted to project the sphere onto a flat image.
They are legally obliged to refuse to carry out illegal orders. “Just following orders” is no defence against war crime charges.
Acting like a grotty, backward, small-minded country again.
The rich don’t tend to want to lose their assets voluntarily.
Then people will just do direct bank transfers.
Your country settles for ridiculously bad politicians on both sides. It’s media fails to rigorously hold any of them to account. If the left media isn’t handing softballs to Harris it’s hurling insults at the other side and vice versa. You lap it up. You buy the products advertised. You donate to the parties. You vote for these morons because they aren’t those other morons. You are part of the problem too. You as a nation settled.
No, it wasn’t.
The difference between the word and the ideology.
They don’t function without phoning home to a US-controlled server every 24 hours.
MAGA are the lowest-income, lowest-educated.
Hold up. She was tired of the Nazi association with a Tesla, so she traded in for a Mercedes?
Indeed, longbowmen can be identified as their skeletons are significantly deformed over years of training.
They’ll still vote for him though.
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
Huh. I guess it’s high time for the Norwegians to develop a sense of humour then.
You might look up what he did to a King who pushed things too far. Or whatever.
One of the major arguments against impeaching Clinton was that it would harm the prestige of the office. The same was used as an argument not to continue prosecution of Nixon. Both were alive at the time.
