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.

Ooh we haven't had a thread calling Americans names in a few days!

A joke is when everybody laughs, OP.

I wouldn't be surprised if the USA had broken up into two, three or more separate countries by the end of this century.
A country on the West Coast (Cali, Oregon & Wash St), a country on the East Coast (New England, NY St & New Jersey along with DC & some bits in between), and a country that has the middle/southern states or Texas becomes an independent country.

If you ever look at more detailed breakdowns of the US, it's much much less simple than that. States look "blue" or "red" because that's the majority, but people are divided not only geographically but by race, religion, class, and educational level. There's a reason the conservative strategy has been to subvert institutions from within.

@knitnerd90 I was thinking more along the lines of outlook/thinking/ideas & religion than politics

In my experience, no, it's not reasonable to expect everyone to laugh at a joke. Some jokes are for niche audiences. Some jokes are dependent on the kind of knowledge that comes with maturity. Some jokes are dependent on people having certain kinds of shared information. Some jokes are dependent on a willingness to find humor in tragedy.

In the U.S. there are a batch of comedians hosting late-night television shows, and some of the jokes are hilarious. However, since the hosts tend to be liberal Democrats, I rather doubt that Trumpers would find them funny.

I watch those late-night shows.
They’re generally pretty funny.
I enjoy them, anyhow.
But then, I’m a former Republican.
And I never never supported Donald.

Why should buy what was stolen off us by force-spin on it.

No way who the heck would want that be a part of an uncivilised place like the USA
