The United Kingdom shamelessly prostrated itself at the feet of Donald Trump on Wednesday, throwing a lavish welcoming party for his state visit to Windsor that resembled less diplomacy and more fealty.
In doing so, the U.K. has revealed something deeply unflattering about itself—in the scramble to keep America close, it will debase itself and its values completely.
It will silence dissent, empty out its traditions, and rent out its monarch like a sex worker, deployed to flatter the ego of a man who has spent much of his political life suggesting he should be treated like one, a monarch, not a sex worker, that is.
As stage props go, the monarchy is unbeatable. But if this is what the “special relationship” between the U.S and the U.K. now means, it looks to many in Britain less like a partnership and more like groveling, feudal servitude.

Made up ceremony
Wait till the Brits find out its all made up and the nobility doesn’t matter.
The problem is if they decide that William the conqueror didn’t actually have allodial rights to the land, then all property rights in the UK are made up too and that’s a bridge too far.
We all know it’s the rightful territory of the Senatus Populusque Romanus. It’s just a matter of time.
Italian Unification but it’s everything from Hadrian’s Wall to Istanbul.
Why stop there? Ctesiphon or bust.
I mean, all property rights are made up though, in any country.
Well yeah, but that’s been fundamentally toxic to liberalism since liberalism existed.
Charles fucked kids with his brother Andrew, and was friends with Epstein.
If there’s one thing the UK is good at, it’s making rich people feel important. It’s how all those Russian oligarchs feel so comfortable in London, comfortable enough to spill their secrets. Nobody suspects the butler, nobody suspects that behind the pomp and ceremony there’s a knife waiting for you.
Trump likes to be flattered, so flatter him, and then get as much cash out of the US as possible! $150bn investment so far as a result of this little bit of pageantry, since all those tech companies are now dancing to Trump’s tune.
There’s nothing the British monarchy loves to do more than to indulge and please a child molester
rent out its monarch like a sex worker,
I don’t know if they’ve been paying attention, but their monarch is too old for our President Pedophile. They’d have to offer up Princess Charlotte to interest him.
They should ask Prince Andrew. He knows.
To be fair all kings initially became kings exactly the way Trump is trying to do. No matter how they try to paint it as a God-given right or create elaborate origin myths, it all started with violence, marrying into power, betrayal, political scheming and a lot of inbreeding.
It’s kind of appropriate that a kingdom recognizes this (although that was probably not what they were trying to do).
In my books kowtowing counts.
Britain is sucking the root big time.
From opening up china by force to sucking orange dick. What a fall.
still, the people in power clearly are. and so I won’t be travelling to the UK either.
If ghosts were real, Guy Fawkes would’ve come back to haunt these guys by now.
I for one am hoping for the ghost of John Brown.
Melania really trying to be Carmen Sandiego huh
Melania knows these pics are going in the history books and has been doing her best to cover her face whenever possible.
Fuck melania. first woman of the american reich.
appeasement is kinda their thing
Aren’t the royal sex workers? Isn’t their job to have sex and produce heirs so the cycle can continue? Country pimps them out to show up to events and smile, and then to go back home and continue the line.
Honestly I have more respect for sex workers than monarchs. Sex workers actually work hard and provide a valuable service, monarchs simply exist. The comparison falls flat for me
wow… what a weak “kingdom”
Why quotes?
not sure… seemed more derogatory that way and I was in a bad mood
FTFY: The United Kingdom government shamelessly prostrated itself
The people in the streets played quite a different tune…
I hope they knighted him, or something. I can’t wait for him to request being called Sir Donald by everybody.
Who knew I could respect the royal family even less than I already did?
