#StarWars #TheHighRepublic is great because it fills a spot hitherto untouched in the world but it's also incredibly frustrating for me to read anything about the #nihil because I fundamentally do not believe they'd be able to pull of half of the stuff they do in these books and comics

Like the nihil strike me as the star wars equivalent to #ancaps combined with rich kids appropriating #punk aesthetics and I'm supposed to buy that not only could they sieze large swathes of #republic territory but actually hold and govern it for over a year in-universe?

Queen or Queen Consort? Inside the debate over Camilla’s title

We have a poverty and health crisis, we are going to be stuffed on the environment (having stuffed it), by this is the ‘news' being offered to placate the plebs. And we bloody pay for this charade.

It beggars belief. If people wish to be courtiers, then fine - on your own money and in your own time - that goes for the ‘Royal’ Family.

didn’t semi-cooperate til he faced prison

Trump enablers ain’t sorry. Just sorry they got caught

Last week's statements by the of State:

"We are devolving into a democracy, because congressmen and senators are elected by the same pool.... We do not want to be a democracy.....

"We encourage Republicans to substitute the words ‘republic’ and ‘republicanism’ where previously they have used the word ‘democracy'.... Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose....

I DON'T CARE what royal is not doing what or is here or there or missing or not missing or sick or not sick.

I just want them gone.

Permanently.

I don't bother speculating.

I don't get dragged into their narrative.

Negative royal stories are still monarchist because they get involved.

Ignore.

And never sympathise with parasites. They'll eat you alive for fun.

Actually, rather than ending on the Vichy 2 francs, here is the coin which succeeded it. The same design was used before the war, which sees the reinstatement of Marianne, the cornucopia, and Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity).

A cornucopia on each side, lettering at top, value in middle with date below. Privy mark to right of date. If there is a B or C Mintmark it is in the gap between the two bases, below date. Script: Latin Lettering: LIBERTE-EGALITE FRATERNITE 2 FRANCS 1958 Engraver: Pierre-Alexandre Morlon

The King doesn't write the King's speech, indeed. But the King, if he had any backbone, dignity or self-respect, could have refused to read it.
