Don't we know a guy who wishes he was treated like royalty?
Edit: Based on the responses I'm curious.
Do people understand if you want a person in government that isn't backed by corporate interests, greed, or some other scam they actually have to get involved in picking who makes it to the running?
Not just sitting back saying "boy I hope this time we have a candidate that doesn't suck and will do something."
You have to actually find people to champion from the start and spread the word
Update 2pm CT: Trump just spoke to a gaggle on Air Force One to comment on Prince Andrew being arrested.
"ITS VERY SAD. " -Trump

Nope.

If you want to make lasting change, we need mutual aid from the ground up support networks so we can stop being reliant on the system. This hasn't changed. They know we need to go to work too much to protest. People are upset, but they don't have an outlet and they don't have the energy.
Ijustwantquiet
Not as long as many of the other associates are in positions of power.
Crazywelderguy
Glad he's arrested, but somewhat concerned/worried they only did it because he has been kicked out of the royal family.
HereticsParrot
nope
grumblepug
Ugh, this how I found out I got to share a birthday with this piss ant.
MacTually
I'm sorry for your loss.
But.
You could go forward saying not only was EYE born but also in this day in history a world leading king had his brother arrested.
The first major step in the ultra powerful being held accountable.
You could potentially use your birthday each year to celebrate the beginning of the end of child predation and how many more have been stopped in the passing year.
You could celebrate your birthday as a day of civilization overcoming abuse.

Not for as long as the DOJ remains under executive control. We really need a constitutional amendment making the DOJ an independent department with oversight from all three branches.
thisuserisafk
Nope. Nothing will happen unless GOP lose control of the system. America is now a haven for rich pedos like how Argentina was a haven for nazis after WWII.

@OP we are doing something about it! I made a massive difference yesterday, I made an internet post calling Trump stupid! *nods my head* oh yeah, that's right, I went there. I'm the fucking man.
MacTually
Hey. Sometimes all it takes to keep the knowledge alive and spread the word. Little reminder.
You're lazy and otherwise useless. But yesterday you were part of a purpose for good. Good on you pardon the pun.
Whitebeardthepirate
hey, i'm just doing what Imgur has taught me to do: meme about it. that's the same as doing something, right?
MacTually
Agreed! I'm meming back. Mine was a joke with a thanks similarly as condescending.
I apologize if you don't see the condescension in yours that invited mine.
I also had a typo that made it seem more directed than was intended on reread.
We're the butts of both jokes if you read them right.

We will, but it wont be any time soon, you're looking at least a decade of nonsense before anything about this is done, because the country is actively being burned down.
JCentauri
Dems are using it for election purposes, does that count?
tachyx
No because they won't get the senate supermajority to make anything happen.
imnotinthewitnessprotectionprogram
This whole arrest has the kings influence all over it. Arrested on his birthday, never calling him a brother in his statement, and at the sonderheim estate as opposed to having him negotiating a time to appear.
MacTually
New reporting the past hour says the king was not in the loop.
Could be PR coverage but that's the current story.
sirbartonslady
Trump ain't going to face a single consequence while he's got the DOJ at his beck and call.

[Exasperated sigh pinching the bridge of my nose] [takes a long drag of a cigarette and talks through the exhale] I mean, like, dude I juuust explained about the Dow. 50k. what are you not getting???

Whoa. Did you say over?
Over 50?
Now I might be on the fence.
If I were a degenerate.

I know how it sounds, but with the amount of shit in the files, please dont share pictures/videos of children, lets not give them any more ammo to do harm. Especially when there are other domino options.

We're making sternly-worded twitter posts about it!
MacTually
This had me thinking.
Social media networks rise and fall. It's stupid to try and suggest there is a definable patterns to what is trends in culture.
We can manipulate or be manipulated by those things. But the pretty natural social convention is the 'in crowd' is the crowd outside the masses.
Thus leading to a perpetual cycle of new networks.
The two things that keep X/Twitter relevant other than Musk and cash are Journalism and Tech.
Convince those people to leave and provide networks.
Skuggen
Ooh, making sternly-worded twitter posts about Epstein's buddies is likely to get you in trouble with twitter mods.
MacTually
Yeah. I get banned every other post for the most basic counter arguments to right wing propaganda.
I do talk like a sailor I thought it was "free speech absolutely."
Never been banned or restricted on social media in the history of social media. X constant shadow and other bans.
The lengths I have to go. To participate. In right wing hysteria.

nope, thanks for asking though. The average American citizen ain't doing shit to the child-rapist in chief because if they try they'll get murdered too.
MacTually
What if someone promised if you contribute, when he dies in jail his monument will be a DJT edition of the Coney Island Boxer?
Taxidermy included.
MacTually
So let the ones who have already sacrificed to have done so in vain?
kurvarVillain
Maybe we can get rid of the monarchy.
They own 6.6 billion acres of land, like 16% of the world.
Think of all the houses we could have.

I can see England holding the legacy of the monarch as a means to hold onto their prominence from a time past.
"We used to rule the world with an iron fist."
If they don't even have a king who would believe they ruled anything?
Its really a lot of ceremonial stuff in my understanding.

He was not arrested for raping children tho... just sharing classified trade info with him.
PutItInNeutral
Al Capone was incarcerated over tax fraud. Whatever gets the scumbags behind bars.

True, but I would say that he's about to sing like a Nightingale about a lot of things contained in the files.

Someshithead241
Because one can be proven, the other cannot. But when they go through his things and pressure him with the legal Warrents they have for the proven one, they could make him flip on the unproven.
Like they do on hundreds of thousands of cases.
doctorId
If the authorities have the guts to push the issue, that is. A lot of things can be made to go away for the right price, which is how the wealthy have gotten away with everything they have so far.
bippityboppitybuttsex
There is plenty of information, in the public domain, that he raped Virginia Guthrie, including a payment from the Queen to shut her up... a payoff is a confession.
MacTually
Yeah you notice that not a crime that wasn't proven but a crime they have the evidence for.
So you took a long route but you got to the clear destination.
People who committed crimes are being held accountable, not having excuses made, blaming others or covering up.
That's the important part.
Not the "get Trump for anything".
Get the criminals for the crimes and stop dicking around.
Work requirements for healthcare? Work requirements to keep your fucking job Congress.
memepawn
How? How can we do anything. The Department of (in)Justice is firmly in the pocket of our corrupt President. Who then, exactly, has the power to arrest him?
MacTually
So you think Trump was all of the Republican party always?
It took people changing it from the grassroots and then the inside.
It takes effort I'm sorry. It's better if you bring friends you can count on.
memepawn
Forgive me, but I have no idea what you are trying to say here
thelastboomer
And champion means donating to the campaign in time, money or other resources, not just posting on social media.
MacTually
Facts.
If this is a commentary on me pal, as the poster, I'm a military vet that enlisted after 9/11.
I know how to contribute at the risk of my life. Hopefully others can learn to contribute something of substance alongside me.
thelastboomer
You are a good person, one of the helpers Mr. Rogers told us about.
thelastboomer
More a comment on the biggest voter block in the US, the Party of Ignorance and Apathy. Usually you can identify them by the phrases “I don’t know,” and “I don’t care.”
MacTually
More facts.
Further facts are you can't change the minds of people living differently you don't know.
Have to understand the environment to know where you can attain gains.
Begging a blind person who doesn't want to see to just open their eyes and look around is worthless in every single effort.
Some people only have the energy to contribute a little for good reason.
Definitely not enough people as pissed off as they should be so piss them off and apologize if mistakes were made.
MacTually
There's another note that wrong in the way what you said is taught.
We've been played since, I think in my life Rock the Vote, for like 40 years though.
Vote count is cool if it's only about winning.
Voting used to be about people on board ideas. A vote was want this. Not we don't want the other thing.
There is this talk of "so many eligible people didn't vote".
Should have they have voted with doubts?
Should have put their vote behind something they don't believe in?
See problems?
MacTually
If aren't particularly good at math.
The difference is yes no or true false number of options.
When you are "vote for me so the bad guy doesn't happen".
It's no longer yes no or a choice of 2.
It's 2^2 or 2 squared options.
For each candidate you are another factor of two in the number of options.
When it yes or no should we do this that is how it was designed to function.
If you're wondering how politics got way more complicated fast.
Only possible with bad actors.
Howlingowl
How about taking your victory lap after you actually convict him of something. Otherwise, you’re just as embarrassing as the US.
MacTually
So you are argumentative here.
Not sure why. But you chose that approach.
Hey dumbfuck. You see how I said "fellow Americans"?
We're already embarrassed. Stop taking victory laps punching down at the wrong disabled kid.
Howlingowl
What in the sentence context makes you think my original comment was directed at you personally, numb-nuts? Do you, an American, have the ability to convict a member of the British royal family? Calm the fuck down. Everything isn’t about you.
MacTually
You responded with a question to my post.
MacTually
Normal people can see the tone they convey or how their message will come across.
For instance I am an asshole once given the go ahead.
Otherwise I just want to crack jokes in a nihilistic way.
Maybe pay attention to how your words create the response because they tell a story beyond the point you're trying to make. Or don't we're all supposed to be free and by definition that means choose not to get along.
And I'm not overreacting. I'm goofing off online on a day off.
Howlingowl
I understand that, but once again you’re missing the point. I wasn’t conveying a “tone” to you because I WAS NOT ADDRESSING YOU. If this was in person: You inserted yourself into a conversation you weren’t a part of and started running your mouth. Learn some context clues or shut the fuck up you autistic prick.
MacTually
Again over your head I guess.
Let's step back. When someone presents a statement to another person starting with either who, what, when,where or HOW are they supposed to sit silently or respond?
Apparently following along is hard because you can't make it past the first word of your response.
The reason why it was directed was because you asked a question. I then had to Intuit and interpret a tone and I have openly said I'm readily hostile.
Is that my problem or yours?
MacTually
FYI. You've at no point had an argument. You've argued about how I've said things paying no attention to your own conduct.
If you do not know yet, you are a Republican.
