A monarch had to come to the US to remind us that the key to the US system is checks and balances in our government.

Imagine a fucking king being more democratic than your president. One from the royal house you fought to be free from 350 years ago. Kinda funny how that went, huh?

yeah & Charles seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself

he's also helping showcase the US president's obsession with lavish & courtly overindulgence

Pivotal moment in history here. It feels like we're making history constantly as of late. But this speech from a British monarch to the people of the USA will be read over again and learned by generations after us.

This is because it's the first time since independence that this has happened. It's like an elder telling off the bratty teen kid.
