Oh no. A rich person with access to the best medical care in the world is sick. What ever will we do.

Phegan , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

It’s a bummer that his reign may not last long enough for the British to decide that maybe a king is a bad idea.

Flax_vert ,

It isn’t. Our head of state is a kind old man while most other countries have some form of psychopath

Our royalty are really just diplomats with better PR and a lot less privacy. Poor guy just lost his mum, now he’s got cancer - I hope he recovers.

Tangentism ,

He will receive better healthcare than 99% of the population after living a life drenched in privilege.

My sympathies lie elsewhere

Tagger ,

You know sympathy isn’t rationed, right?

Yes, he’s lined in unbelievable privilege. Yes, he’ll get the best care available. Yes, it is reasonable to believe and campaign for the monarchy to be abolished.

But this is still a man who has been diagnosed with cancer. For anyone, that is a scary and upsetting diagnosis and, upon hearing about it, it is only reasonable to feel sympathy for that person.

Xer0 ,

Don’t even bother. No one here cares. They want him and his entire family to die horribly.

HexesofVexes ,

I mean, I also feel sympathy for you.

There is a lot of hate there, and someone/something must have really hurt you to make you feel that someone deserves cancer because they’ve had money in their life.

I hope whatever you’re going through gets better, that whatever has happened in the past becomes more distant, and that today is a lucky day for you.

KoboldOfArtifice ,

It’s a bit harsh to put such words in their mouth. They said their sympathies lie elsewhere, not that he deserved it.

I hope he makes a full recovery, but you know, the jokes write themselves.

Now is the time for Scotland and Wales to declare independence and join the EU. It would be hilarious.

octobob , to worldnews in King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says

Becomes king

Fucking dies

Lmaooo

Pyr_Pressure ,

And least he got to be king first :P

I haven’t seen any new coins yet with his face on it. It may be the shortest run of coins with a new face. I’ve had the same face on my coins for my entire life, these will be the first with a new one.

Flax_vert ,

Shortest run was probably Edward VIII. My dad found a coin with Charles’s face on it. I also bought a few commemoratives. I think it’ll probably start appearing on £1 coins soon as they are the newest

I mean, it did bring more money into the economy than it took out of it, same with Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, so we could profit off of this

Blackmist ,

Don’t knock it, we get a day off when they die and a day off when we get a new one.

Sometimes we get a day off when they’ve been on the throne for a set number of years.

So for that reason I’d like to keep them.

Give us two extra bank holidays a year, and you can King Ralph all these motherfuckers.

With the UK’s Chief Executive and thought leader incapacitated Scotland should declare independence.

Issue is, I do not think they are going for a Scottish Republic unfortunately.

bedrooms OP , to news in Tucker Carlson: Putin takes charge as TV host gives free rein to Kremlin

Putin wrote a long essay before the war that denied Ukraine's existence as a sovereign state. He now appears to have learned it by heart.

I mean, that's the job of a body double. He's right there in the picture.

It’s all part of how Putin justified his full-scale invasion, almost two years ago - along with “de-Nazifying” Ukraine, which he claimed is still a work in progress. “Sooner or later this will end in agreement,” was Putin’s message, arguing that Nato was coming to realise that defeating Russia on the battlefield would be impossible.

SamsonSeinfelder , to news in Tucker Carlson: Putin takes charge as TV host gives free rein to Kremlin

Russian propaganda molded a big part of a nation and some of its media into a submissive lab dog. Amazing that it became the Republican Party cozening up to Russia and making this 180° turn of it previous stance without losing the empty mind of their followers, as Russia transformed themself closer to the republican extreme it is today creating a match made in hell. Brother in heart, cruel, authoritarian, corrupt, brass, lying, projecting, and slaying anyone who falls out of line. And in the End of all the politics Bowtie-Tucky sits on Putins lab, panting, drooling, like the spineless overbred dog he is.

Carlson is a millionaire funded by billionaires (Rutger Bregman).

I don’t see the contradiction, Russia went from the center of a nominally socialist union to a hypercapitalist libertarian dictatorship, of course the Republicans are going to try and support it.

    It’s so crazy how true that is.

    If you follow politics, the recent deal between Biden, Democrats, and the Republicans gave Republicans everything they supposedly wanted for border security. They aren’t voting for it because Trump wants to keep hitting Biden on that issue during the election. It’s fucking insane.

    firstofus ,

    Is this true?

    limelight79 ,

    It is, but I’m the guy that originally said it, so you shouldn’t trust me. Here’s an article about it, and another article here.

    It almost makes me wish for the good oa’ days of McCarthyism, just to see the shocked Pikachu faces. And, boy, Julius & Ethel were lightweights compared to today’s traitors; the electric chair would be going nonstop for a long while until the House was truly cleaned out.

    Yup. Super dark period in US history, and a tragic couple, regardless of their crimes. Not a good look for us.

    its amazing that carlson points out his own purpose here is not 'news'.

    xor ,

    Amusingly, even the russian government corrected him on that too - to paraphrase, “we have lots of requests to interview Putin, he just doesn’t want to do it”

    Hyperreality ,

    “we have lots of requests to interview Putin, he just doesn’t want to do it”

    Because they're actual journalists who would ask serious questions.

    Quacksalber ,

    The even more amazing part is that the Kremlin debunked him. They said they constantly get interview requests from journalists. They just never accept them.

    Edit: Just saw this posted as a response already.
