They just go along with the PM in those situations.

But it doesn’t matter because all they do is hand out medals, cut ribbons, give the ol’ “dare to dream” speech, and the “thoughts and prayers” speech etc. It’s ’s not an important job. In USA the presidents wife pretty much does it.

The Monarch is a ceremonial figurehead that doesn’t interfere in government business. In Canada or the UK. Period.

Well it took you 12 pages and 9 months and all you could come up with was 2 stories, one of which was more than a year old and about a private citizen donor

Satire from The Borowitz Report Putin Says He Is Losing War in Ukraine Because F.B.I. Seized Stuff He Needed MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)—Amid reports that the Russian front has collapsed near Kharkiv, Vladimir Putin complained that the only reason he is losing the war in Ukraine is that the F.B.I. recently seized stuff he needed. “I’m not going to go into detail, but there were things I needed, very important things, that the F.B.I. has confiscated that should have been sent to me,” the Russian President said. “If I had those things right now, I wouldn’t be getting my ass kicked all over Kharkiv.” The fact that materials intended for him are in the hands of the F.B.I. has made him question “whether America is really a democracy,” he said. “I think if you pay for something—and I mean pay in cash—it should be sent to you,” he said. “Hopefully the special master will straighten all this out.” https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/putin-says-he-is-losing-war-in-ukraine-because-fbi-seized-stuff-he-needed ?

They took all the records. What is evidence of a crime and what id not will be determined by the ensuing investigation. That’s how investigations work.

Fake news

You clearly don’t know much about history. So what if Alfred made peace with the Vikings. There were countless civil wars before and after. And at any rate it’s idiotic to suggest that we still need a monarchy today just because some ancient king did something good. I guess Italy should go back under rule by Caesar because ol Julius fathered an empire and did some great things too? His achievements are way greater than Alfreds and he came about 1,000 earlier. And the Magna Carta was forced on an unpopular King John by rebellious lords who were fed up with his incompetent and out of touch regime It was not a gift to the people from a wise benevolent and magnanimous ruler. BTW, when the king refused to honour it it led yo…..you guessed it, civil war! His son is the one who finally conceded. Amd ONCE AGAIN Regardless of what great deeds you think past rulers did in medieval, renaissance or Victorian times, that has nothing to do with why we need monarchies in the 21st century. Monarchs today are powerless figureheads who do nothing except perform ceremonial duties. Nothing.

Actually I dont sky-scream over election results, I’m not a nutjob like you BIG LIE baseless conspiracy kooks. I will however continue to denounce your anti-democratic fascist thug tactics that you resort to whether you’re in or out of power.

You seem quite unable to take what you dish out. Republicans are the ultimate pansies. “Waaah they called us DEPLORABLE I demand and APOLOGY!!!”………after using the N-word, C-word, amd every other vile insult and false accusation in the book for over a decade and refusing to apologize on the basis that “real men never apologize” For all the time you spend in this site I doubt you’re much of a “real man” you’re probably just another conservative playing “fake macho”. Conservative fake machos are desperate to fool themselves and the world because they’re overweight, balding, low testosterone, socially awkward, mid-life crisis, can’t get free consensual sex to save their life, or some combo of the above but think if they talk up all this cheezy lame-ass toxic masculinity bullshiit they’ll fool people into thinking they’re an “Alpha Male”. We know you’re just another Beta, you’re not fooling anyone.

Lol gross. Does she wipe your ass for you too? My wife is an educated professional and gainfully employed I don’t wish to have a servile wench to wash my underwear for me. You should be embarrassed not being able to do your own laundry. Real men are not reliant on a woman for basic hygiene, you are the pathetic emasculated male. When your mommy did your laundry did you have cream for her too? Disgusting.

Yeah the Nazis, racists and terrorists claimed to be victims too, therefore their Nazism, racism, terrorism and general vileness is uniquely justified…for them and only them of course. Everyone else has to follow the law and basic rules of common decency but not them, they’re uniquely entitled because they’re “sick and tired” of people being mean to them when they’ve been nothing but nice to everyone else. It’s hard to know whether to laugh at the obvious falsehoods or the glaring hypocrisy first.

Lol another empty post with nothing but childish insults, is it? You are at least consistent! BTW only a sexist conservative would assume/expect that a wife does her husband’s laundry. Real men do their own laundry, don’t you? Let me guess before you tricked that poor woman into marrying you, your mom did your grown man laundry for you? Pathetic. BTW if you want some real marriage advice, you spend WAY too much time on this site. I only come on here once in a while when I’m bored but I have a good job and a family that come first. Don’t you?

Its hard to argue that just because the same reason inbred family has sat on the throne for 1200 years we owe all our relatively recent successes to them. There were plenty of bloody civil wars horrible massacres, famines persecutions etc during those 1200 years BTW. Britains success relative to other countries only occurs in recent centuries, not since medieval times, and much of it is largely due to advances in the private sector after the onset of capitalism and government policy decisions that are increasingly decisions of parliament not the crown. And is it really so much more successful than other western European non-monarchies today? At best it is simply “as good as”

So many falsehoods You know nothing and are in fact the one whose beliefs are based in feelings rather than reason First understand that the Canadian GG does 99.999% of the monarchs job since the monarch is not in Canada The GG doesn’t call up Buckingham Palace and ask permission to sign a law passed by Canadian parliament The only time the monarch anything directly to do with actual Canadian government duties is when they happen to be visiting Canada So even if you happen to wrongly believe that the GG is “a partisan crony of the PM” nothing really changes because the GG has already been doing the job of the monarch in Canada for a couple of generations now. Second its wrong to say that they are “partisan cronies of the PM”. Canadas. GGs are famously non-partisan. Much like the monarchy, the GG role is in practice entirely ceremonial and they just rubber stamp whatever comes out of parliament. As unelected figures, neither the monarch nor the GG would ever dare use their powers to defy an elected parliament. Therefore, PMs have been quite comfortable selecting non-partisan figures for the role. “The job” of the GG and the monarch both is to sign whatever parliament tells them to sign and give flowery feel-good speeches about being kind to your fellow humans, grateful for the thing’s you have, supporting charitable causes and offering “thoughts and prayers” in times of national tragedy. Regardless of whatever powers may exist on the books, in reality the role of the GG/monarch is now purely ceremonial.

USA is a Republic and it’s far worse than Canada, but I don’t necessarily accept that we need to change all that much considering the monarchy is ceremonial and doesn’t ACTUALLY do anything. Politicians wield power in the monarchs name the same way Iran’s Ayatollah wields power in Allahs name. That doesn’t make it impossible to govern a country without Allah. At the very least we can just do away with the British royalty part and leave the head of state as the Governor General, an eminent non-political Canadian who has earned the honour instead of being born into it, and is already chosen by the PM anyway and currently simply rubber-stamped by the crown…we just do away with the rubber stamping part The castles and the pomp and ceremony…all a total waste of time and money.

But as usual your definition of “Democrat shill” is anyone who isn’t a Republican shill ….so your comment is worthless.

Quite a funny yet accurate description of Trump’s true motive If he had no intentions with these documents, why did he abscond with them and why was he fighting so hard to not return them?

That is a sad fact. The monarchy is a waste of time and money and really in opposition to everything modern democracies stand for: virtually irrevocable power, privilege and wealth by birth, immunity from many/most laws etc. It would however be quite entertaining to see Charles, William, William’s kidd, and Harry all abdicate just so Archie could ascend the throne and send the conservative monarchists into a tizzy over his quarter-negro heritage. THEN everyone would conveniently discover a quick and simple way to end the monarchy.

So he stood over dozens of boxes containing thousands of classified documents he hadn’t yet read and said “whatever’s in here I hereby declassify it”? And conveniently there’s no record of it so once again we’ll just have to take his word that happened? As Bill Barr said that’s extremely unlikely to be true and even if it were true that would much worse. William Barr, on Fox, says there's no legitimate reason for classified docs to be at Mar-a-Lago Former Attorney General William Barr appeared on Fox News on Friday to say there is no "legitimate reason" for classified documents to have been at Mar-a-Lago and cast doubt in the idea that they had somehow been declassified. …No. I can't think of a legitimate reason why they should have been -- could be taken out of government, away from the government if they are classified," Barr said of the documents found at former President Donald Trump's Florida resort. "I, frankly, am skeptical of the claim that [Trump] declassified everything," Barr added. "Because frankly, I think it's highly improbable, and second, if in fact he sort of stood over scores of boxes, not really knowing what was in them and said 'I hereby declassify everything in here,' that would be such an abuse and that shows such recklessness, it's almost worse than taking the documents," he said….. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/09/02/politics/barr-trump-documents-fox/index.html

Another day another Republican pedo exposed Former Utah mayor, Mormon bishop accused of sex abuse of children Investigators say Johnson acknowledged abusing three victims in 1985, 1993 and 1996 and estimated there was a total of six victims as young as 2-years-old, according to the document. He told investigators he had struggled "controlling his sexual urges" most of his life. Some of the alleged abuse occurred in the same years as he was mayor of West Bountiful, a city just outside of Salt Lake City that he led from 1990-1997. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/nation/former-utah-mayor-mormon-bishop-accused-of-sex-abuse-of-children

Meanwhile back in the REAL world, ONCE AGAIN the people ACTUALLY conspiring to commit election fraud are Republicans GOP Officials Caught Instructing Poll Workers To ‘Secretly’ Break Rules: Leaked Audio Republicans in Michigan are working to take control of election proceedings by stocking polling places with “undercover agents” …On the leaked call, EIF founder and former state Sen. Patrick Colbeck claims that “none of the constraints that they’re putting on this are legal.” His co-host, GOP county chairwoman Cheryl Costantino, advises the workers to “just hide” their cell phones, and to “hide a small pad and a small pen or something like that because you need to take accurate notes.” Costantino dismissed concerns from attendees that they’d be thrown out or removed from their posts for breaking the rules. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/michigan-gop-encourages-poll-workers-break-rules-leaked-video-1234588705/

You forgot: Obama’s secret Kenyan birth and the fact he is an Islamist terrorist sleeper agent. Alien lizard people living under the earths crust and collaborating with Dems Hugo Chavez’s ghost haunting voting machines and polling stations, changing Republican votes to Dems The global conspiracy to cover up Putin single-handedly curing cancer, inventing interstellar space travel and turning Russia into the most peaceful, prosperous and free paradise on earth

Once again the ACTUAL evidence shows that the only people actually trying to steal the election are Republicans Sending fake election results to DC Tampering with voting machines. Running fake progressive candidates to syphon votes from opponents. All he Republican voters who were convicted voted for Trump using dead spouses and relative. Lobbying states to falsify their vote count. Trying to pressure the VP to try a totally fascist made-up unconstitutional attempt to just nullify election results at his sole discretion because he says so. And of course the whole BIG LIE and insurrection thing. Newly obtained surveillance video shows fake Trump elector escorted operatives into Georgia county’s elections office before voting machine breach A Republican county official in Georgia escorted two operatives working with an attorney for former President Donald Trump into the county’s election offices on the same day a voting system there was breached, newly obtained video shows. The breach is now under investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and is of interest to the Fulton County District Attorney, who is conducting a wider criminal probe of interference in the 2020 election. The video sheds more light on how an effort spearheaded by lawyers and others around Trump to seek evidence of voter fraud was executed on the ground from Georgia to Michigan to Colorado, often with the assistance of sympathetic local officials. In the surveillance video, which was obtained by CNN, Cathy Latham, a former GOP chairwoman of Coffee County who is under criminal investigation for posing as a fake elector in 2020, escorts a team of pro-Trump operatives to the county’s elections office on January 7, 2021, the same day a voting system there is known to have been breached. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/06/politics/surveillance-video-voting-machine-breach-coffee-county-georgia/

Can’t handle the truth about all the crooked and perverted republicans eh? I wonder how long it will take me to find the next story. All I do is Google “Republican arrested” or “Republican convicted” when ever Im bored and up it comes. And I don’t even count the minor stuff like drunk driving…(except that drunk Republican who killed that guy and tried to cover it up) or the obvious stuff like the treasonous Republicans who participated in the attack on the Capitol. It’s a fun game you should try it. “A winner every time” as they say Here are some updates to previously reported Republican crooks and perverts for you: Former Idaho state Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger sentenced to 20 years in prison for rape Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Aaron von Ehlinger, a former Republican state lawmaker from Idaho who was convicted in April of raping a legislative intern in 2021, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. https://www.upi.com/amp/Top_News/US/2022/09/01/idaho-former-republican-state-lawmaker-sentenced-for-rape/2221662042371/ Seminole County GOP head, ex-Longwood mayor Ben Paris found guilty in ghost candidate scheme Seminole County GOP Chair Ben Paris was found guilty for his part in a scheme to run a progressive ghost candidate to siphon votes from a Democratic candidates in a 2020 state Senate race. https://spotonflorida.com/fl-blogs-entertainment/fl-entertainment/4059357/seminole-county-gop-head-ex-longwood.html
