Apparently the plum is to be the British Ambassador. It will never make any sense to me Everyone knows where I stand. I'd abolish every fucking monarch and every single hierarchical title. We either believe in democracy (where all are equal) or we don't.
My mother was deeply Catholic - From I was a child I refused to address the bishop or archbishop by any title. And I absolutely refused to kiss any stupid ring.
I remain deeply grateful to my paternal aunt for laughing them all to scorn.

(9,426 posts)Many people (gop) knew what a sleaze he was even before he ran for the WH. Since he ran as an (R) all was forgiven, plus Vlad contributed mucho rubles, so that was welcome. I wonder if there is even more sleaze waiting to be exposed, since the gop is scurrying to keep his misdeeds secret. They are all gathering around him as though he is a hero of some sort. Something more is "in the wind" It is a very foul smelling wind, too.

(63,221 posts)I mean, Trump and the people he surrounds himself with are off the charts. I feel like a child on the day they find out Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are all a lie. I am just that disillusioned.
I never realized that people could be this horrible and not pay for it personally. Or legally. I suppose laws and ethics are just for us little people. He just commits crime after crime and nobody even attempts to stop him. And there are way too many people out there who are even cheering him on for all the evil things he does.

They're the reason we can't have nice things like universal healthcare and well-funded schools.
They're also the primary reason we have DHS goons on our streets and a $700 billion military budget, all to protect the interests of the corporate world and ultra-wealthy.
