Indeed.

 

He could have stayed in the Royal Family, had the pick of thousands of beautiful young peachy women and lived a life of luxury, adored by the British public.

 

Instead, he is stuck out in Montecito, angry, married to a divorced narcissist who looks like a 50 year old prune, and is mostly despised, pitied and ridiculed. 

 

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. 

 

Now his BFF Biden the cap doffer is toast, hopefully Trump investigates his visa application, but he won't be welcome back in Britain. 

And toss Randy Andy into gaol, or at least send him to Liverpool to live in a council house.

 

Can you de-duke a Duke. Too bad they cant chop off some heads anymore.

Not really.

Lot of idiots voted for an idiot.

And when a majority do that, then this is democracy.

I think they deserve what they voted for.

 

The problem is we, the rest of the world. We don't want that idiot to "rule the world". 

I think it's apparent who the real "idiots" are.  They certainly are not the people (a vast majority) who voted for Trump.  If you want to see the real "idiots" are, look no further than California.  A totally Democratic Party run State.  California liberal politics is exactly what sane people don't want.

I agree with you that the DEMs made/make many mistakes. 

But I wouldn't call anybody who votes for Trump "sane".

No dude, whats wrong with America is hate ridden symbols like your avatar.

 

You might be an atheist and Im sure an agnostic and both philosophies are wonderful, but there are millions of your fellow Americans who have those symbols around their necks, including the folks taking bullets for us on Wednesday and praying to Jesus on Sunday. So your clever and oh so trendy avatar is basically advertising how cool and sophisticated you are to reject the primitive superstitions of the lumpen, while pissing on your neighbors beliefs.

 

Yet you complain about the temperature in the crucible. Why dont you try lowering it, you think that your avatar is any different than standing in front of a house of worship and taking a dump?

No dude, as usual you're wrong. The beauty of what's right with The USA is it is SECULAR. There's freedom of religion...and freedom from it...if one so chooses...separation of religion and government. The Establishment Clause. Unique. No official religion or favoritism of any one belief system over any other. No religious test to hold public office. And nonbelievers, yes I'm a lifelong atheist, are not persecuted nor prosecuted for lack of belief. 

 

There are plenty of American atheists in foxholes, sleeping in on Sundays 💤, then taking bullets right alongside their fellow Christian/Muslim/Jewish/Hindu/etc Americans every other day of the week. What they all have in common and most importantly is they're all Americans. NOT their belief system. They're fighting together, as a unit, for their country...NOT god(s) nor a symbol around their neck nor an avatar...but for the United States of America. Full stop.

 

That what makes America great...individual liberties such as freedom of expression and belief or not, without persecution/prosecution, which many/most Islamic countries have. 

 

See the reality that you apparently can't handle is...I have every single bit as much right to display my non-belief avatar or to wear an atheist t-shirt as my fellow Americans, regardless of their flavor of religious belief, are free to wear or display theirs. There's ZERO difference. So says The USA and most other truly free countries around the globe. Surely even you should be able to grasp such a simple concept. 🤔

The USA has never been a democracy. It is a republic and, in the best case, could be called a "democratic republic." However, even that does not fit exactly because not all citizens are allowed to vote. Each state has its own rules on that, but in all states, a citizen must pass certain criteria before they are allowed to vote. 

It's not time for a king—a monarchy. Unfortunately, our "king," is money. What we need to do is reduce our dependence on capitalism and increase our socialistic features.
