Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hahahaha, "The King makes his own decisions..."
In their constitutional system, I'm not believing that for a hot second.
Sandringham is one of the King’s private residences. So who he chooses to invite there and how they are received is up to him.
A state visit is commissioned by the government and the King has no choice in who is invited or how they are received.
The one thing Trumpism should have taught y'all is that all those "technically, yes, it's literally your government" royal/executive powers are actual powers when someone has the will to act like they believe it themselves and a certain baseline of support.
And the one thing Oliver Cromwell should have taught you all is that when you set clear precedent for what happens when the head of state takes the piss, it doesn’t tend to reoccur.
American politics is built around worshipping the cult of the presidency, and whipping the office holders into shape has been repeatedly rejected on the basis of “harming the dignity of the office”.
One of the most vilified men in English history? That Cromwell? The one people remember as a butcher, but not quite what he was rebelling over?
I'd find that impressive regardless if it wasn't for the fact that 40% of Brits don't even know his name.

Just lol @ your second paragraph. The cult is for dead presidents, you silly peasant.
You might look up what he did to a King who pushed things too far. Or whatever.
One of the major arguments against impeaching Clinton was that it would harm the prestige of the office. The same was used as an argument not to continue prosecution of Nixon. Both were alive at the time.
