      there are 56 members of the commonwealth of nations. of those, only 15 are commonwealth realms. the rest are republics or a different monarchy.

      india was the first republic member when they transitioned from dominion (with british monarch as head of state) to a republic in 1950.

      commonwealth members need only recognize king charles as the ‘head of the commonwealth’, which is a purely ceremonial position.

      Might be easiest to join a ready made monarchy in that case. All you have to do then is claw your way through the ranks til you reach the throne. No need to change the constitution. :)

          I just started watching Black Adder, so I’m glad I was able to get the joke. Great show for those who haven’t seen it btw.

            I got the black adder spoonerism but not the rest of the joke. Is it worth asking? I haven’t seen the show.

              I don’t think it’s a specific reference, but Black Adder follows a series of fictional incompetent royal family members throughout history all played by Rowan Atkinson. Some of my new favorite work from him.

      I really wish removing a president wasn’t so difficult. We’re all staring at the train wreck being told it’s completely normal for a train to be running off the tracks.

        You just need someone with better aim than the last guy who tried.

          Last 2 guys who tried.

          Remember there was that dude with an AK hiding in golf course bushes. He didn’t shoot, but you can also count that as missing his shot, as he was well within the range of the rifle.

    What the fuck? I know it’s Donald Dump, but despite all the insanity happening since his inauguration this is the first headline that manages to surprise even me. Dude’s talking about annexing Canada and Greenland on one hand, but then bows to the former UK colonial project? What?

    GG Trump, I honestly did not see this one coming.

    Lmfao what?

    Actually, you know what, that’s a great idea orangeboi. Let’s go for it.

    To the Brits: considering this is basically us coming back to you hat in hand, I think it’d be quite reasonable to exact some sort of penance from us. Perhaps we could surrender our President to the King’s tender mercies? Hell, you can just take the whole Republican Party if you want to make some old-school object-examples of what the appropriate treatment of fascists is.

    As non-functional as it is, we don’t need to make it ten times worse. If this happens Elon and Trump will likely behave like they own the rights to every resource on the eastern members of CW.

    Also trying to side with an openly fascist, sexist, racist president? King Edward III much?

    The USA can join the Commonwealth by becoming a Territory of Canada. Just give us a sec while we change the rules on representation in the house of Commons.

    an article from British tabloid The Sun reporting that King Charles III was making a “secret offer” to the White House, and that plans are in process for the U.S. to become an associate member of the international organization.

    Ah yes, the classic cuck king making deals to give more power and alliances to a fascist. What can possibly go wrong? Let’s ask Vittorio Emanuele III and Michael I of Romania.

    This is why monarchy has to be destroyed, every single atom of it.

      You don’t need to go too far, King Edward III is believed to write letters of good intent to hitler, urging him to keep bombing the UK a little more and that they would cave in.

      This would make a great entry point for the protests against this. And the left should be a bit opportunist and use the “proud British” rhetoric that the right used for Brexit against US “taking over leadership of CW”

      Charles is making zero deals giving power to anyone; any words out of his mouth on this are coming from the UK cabinet.
