What ever the reasons we are in a better situation. The other candidate is certifiable. Her actions, since the election, show she is mentally unhinged and has possibly serious physical problems.

The UK is a constitutional monarchy. That is, a country who retain a monarchy but the monarchs powers are limited by the constitution. The UK actually has no written constitution but it's constitution is an amalgamation of acts passed by parliament. The Queen is not part of the government has no governmental duties as such. Her role is mainly ceremonial as Head of State. The Queen reigns, the government rules.

Churchill was forbidden from visiting the front on several occasions by George VI.

Like I said if you want to argue this there is no point continuing. Britain is ruled by a parliament has been for centuries.
Just to correct this slightly. The King did not forbid Churchill to visit the front as he wasn't able to do this. The King did try to persuade Churchill not to, notably on D Day. Letters sent by the King to Churchill on this subject have been published.

The root cause for WWI and all that followed was the stupid beliefs of people that there are such things as Kings and Queens and royalty. I assure you, that are not. The egos of so-called royals, including the Bitch of England's family, have cost millions of innocent people their lives for no good reason.
The world needs to purge itself of anyone who claims any form of royalty.
I've noticed on other posts you've been abusive about the Queen. Why exactly is she a bitch?

I could give you a reasonable answer to every one of your questions, but why waste my time?
How bout just the first one then.

Trade war——why?

Slapping tariffs on imports isn’t the way to go.

History is repleat with examples of United States failed trade tariffs

Smoot Hawley for example.

Most republicans were free trade advocates before trump

Now....

I'm fairly certain we're not in an actual trade war yet. When it happens, check back with me.

ANYONE who lies about being a "royal" is a bitch or a pig.
She is an insult to free people everywhere.
HER family and ancestors were the nazis of their era, conquering and pillaging people world-wide. She and her enter line are a disgrace to humanity. All them burn in hell.

Explain 'lies about being a royal'.

And yes I'll be the first to admit there are a lot of things about Britain's past that have been pretty disgraceful but what has that got to do with her personally?

I suppose you reserve the same anger for all the other nations that have done similar in the past. China, Japan, France, Spain, Germany, Russia, etc. I could go on and on. There are many countries in the world that have things they should be ashamed about in their past including your own.

A Brit.


Talking Shit.


In America.

Apart from being alongside Germany the top giver of overseas aid as a % of GNI in the G7?

Apart from giving billions to bail out the Irish and Portuguese economies when the Euro started to fail even though we weren't in the Eurozone?

Just a couple of recent examples.

The lie is that royal blood exists.
It does not.

And yes, ANY country that has not had the sense to purge itself of royal families deserves disrespect. I would say the level of bad things we have done is far outweighed by the collective damage done by Europe's royal families. Good thing we were around to come clean up your mess. WWI was nothing but European POS royal families sending innocent people to die for them
I wish Germany had won WWI. World be better off for it. The spite and intolerance of Britain, France, etc, is what gave rise to Hitler.

Parading the old lady around is the equivalent of our President showing up in public in Black-face.

And that is all you got. What a phucking joke.


No worries. We'll keep saving your ass across the planet. No charge. And you expect us to do it. Free of charge.


Snoot your noses at us. Cool. You are more civilized than us as well. Kudos.



Next time you all need help, maybe our phone will ring as busy. Maybe we should just let Russia run over your asses in Europe and across your little pond. Afterall, our Prez is supposedly a Dictator and in cahoots with that guy.

Tom in every story there is something the storyteller conveniently leave out, no matter who is telling the story.

Enabling Facts about Hitler :

1 .) Germany was completely in despair.
2 .) Hitler was well financed.
