One of my all time favourite jokes. Donald Trump is meeting The Queen, and he says to her: “As I'm the President, I'm thinking of changing how the country is referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom." To which the Queen replies. ‘I'm sorry Mr Trump, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have a King in charge - and you're not a King." Donald Trump thought a while and then said: "How about a Principality then?" to which the Queen replied, "Again, to be a Principality you have to be a Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr Trump” Trump thought long and hard and came up with, "How about an Empire then?" The Queen, getting a little pissed off by now replied, " Sorry again, Mr Trump, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge - and you are not an Emperor." Before Trump could utter another word, The Queen said: "I think you're doing quite nicely as a Country."

Because those countries began shifting to a republic in the 20th century with a monarchy as mostly ceremonial, whereas the US seems to be shifting from a republic to a monarchy?

I'm not clear why these "no kings" events and slogans are so popular. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Japan . . . all have monarchies and democracy seems to be doing better there than here in the US right now.

Welcome to The First Amendment. I have never appreciated seeing our flag burned, it's emotional and hits me pretty deeply. That's the intent. I support the First Amendment FULLY. I'm angered to see it being attacked. I think this will get significantly worse. I will fully place the blame for what happens on the current criminal administration.

What sound did your irony meter just make?

Trust me, he's not the only one. Your parameters for "attack" are different from many people's. That's fine, but that doesn't make someone else any more wrong about it than you. Wendy P.

Mostly the dental plan.

? Those look Russian uniforms. And, yeah, we'll take people of color and move them over "here." Dumbfucks who have more money than sense. EDIT: The more I look at that ad, the more I wonder if someone isn't scamming someone or all the ones that would show.

You keep saying Democrats should grow a pair and start following the R’s playbook. So why fall over yourself to apologise for shit that doesn’t matter? Every white American is allowed to be proud of the countries their ancestors came from, so Mexican Americans should be no different. The correct PR play here is to tell anyone on the right to fuck off with their racist bullshit, then mock them for being afraid that some colours on a flag might hurt them.

You can’t demand that an entire unorganised mob of people all act in the best, smartest, most rational way possible. It’s impossible, never gonna happen. Instead, you could point out to those rightwing snowflake Karens that if they’ve never previously complained about the offensiveness of seeing Irish flags fly in Boston on St Paddy’s day then maybe their racist asses can shut the fuck up about these flags?

All true, but the Mexican flags were unnecessarily inflammatory given the circumstances. Better, if winning in the court of public opinion is the desire and it damn well should be, would be Mexicans waving American flags.

Does anyone understand why the Mexican flags in the LA riots? It seems like the most idiotic move you could make. It gives credibility to Trump’s argument of an invasion and undermines the message of “we are here as Americans and for the American way of life” I’d imagine it would be confronting and possibly even offensive to many Americans seeing a foreign flag being waved as American flags are burnt, regardless of your views on Trump and immigration?

That 97 is going to make your ass look big.
