Tim Scott: "Let me just say for the average person in the country -- President Trump loves you. Thank God almighty that President Trump understands the pain and misery of employees, independent contractors, and small businesses too."

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals

Somewhere, John Adams is confused as ◊◊◊◊

Speaking as an American, I have to say it's incredibly surreal to see the King of England* schooling American politicians on the proper functioning of a democracy.

*Yes, I'm perfectly aware of what exactly he's king of, but "King of England" is colloquial here.

...was bascially full to capacity for the Correspondents event.

Someone else pointed out that the Correspondents dinner is a private event that (under normal rules) could not be held in a public building.

Donald Trump made his living for years by screwing over small business, independent contractors, and employees. His billionaire buddies do and have done the same. The notion that Trump policies are good for business generally is rubbish. They're good for his business—and no one else's.

King Charles III has given Trump a dressing down in the way only an aristocrat can. The beautifully subtle digs and reminders were perfectly pitched to put a commoner in their place. I was no fan of Charles, till now.

I think his speach writer deserves the praise (if he wrote the speach himself, then I'll happily praise C3R, it was an excellent speach, Carneyesque!)

Maybe. But I think the appropriate word is "enjoys."

Chuck deserves some credit for approving and delivering that speech.

Keep in mind that in the latest Democracy index has the US listed as a 'flawed democracy' (and has been for years).

Meanwhile, Canada (another of King Chuckles' vassel states) is listed as a Full democracy, as is the United Kingdom.

Besides, it's so delightfully schadenfröhlich to see digs that the intended target is too stupid to recognize.

I'm sure we'll achieve "failed democracy" before the Trump regime is over.

Sadly, I believe so as well. Hopefully, we're proven wrong, but with the SCOTUS and GOPs actions lately, the guard-rails are failing.

A celebration of the First Amendment brought to a premature halt by the Second.

I thought, "right next to the Gulf of Onan, how appropriate", but then realised I'd misread it.

They're often not even good for his.

Biden!

Rep. McCormick (R-GA) says he doesn’t worry about high gas prices because we don’t rely on oil from the Strait of Hormuz, and blames Biden.

McCormick: If we had the pipeline that we didn't complete thanks to the Biden administration for so long, we'd be in a much better position

he should worry since the gas prices still get higher whether he understands the how the market works or not. it's already been happening for weeks in fact.
