Should the U.K. just buy back America?

After the Supreme Court decision mostly favoring Trump, that ruled that presidents mostly have immunity, it's clear that America has abandoned the basic idea that America didn't want a king, that no one was above the law.

Well, if that's gone, maybe the U.K. should just scoop up America again.

Almost 250 years after independence the ex-boyfriend still thinks you are wondering about him.

and the idea of the UK scooping up another country... cute - oh wait, not. Not considering how many countries and cultures the UK "scooped up" for so many years.

I suppose the OP thinks they are being lighthearted and funny but during the whole brexit saga and the Ireland border issue there were actually insane comments about how we should be made to join up with the UK.

You've actually hit on the correct answer by accident. The US occupies entirely scooped-up land, so the right thing is for it to abolish itself.

California alone has a higher GDP than the entire UK (3.9 vs. 3.3), so good luck with that.

Methinks it is the other way around.

Why would they want it? Nobody wants to take custody of the Trumpers.

The US is so divided internally that the only thing that would bring the country together would be a foreign invasion. The thing is, what country would be stupid enough to take on American problems...

No!

Yes, please. (I’m an American. Will you take me back?) 🤣

Good luck affording it.
