if he knows about my wicked pasta recipe <:thronk:441701565607444482>

Just put an American flag outside. That's what I do 🀷🏿

2019-01-23 17:57:59 UTC  

Arent there some regions of Italy(particularly at bars) which already do that?

2019-01-23 17:58:23 UTC  

better put an Isis flag outside and profit from 24/7 observation

2019-01-23 18:09:12 UTC  

pay gino

2019-01-23 18:09:16 UTC  

for protection

2019-01-23 18:11:47 UTC  

imagine living in a country that arrests returning isis figthers instead of giving them money kek

2019-01-23 18:12:00 UTC

2019-01-23 18:13:50 UTC  

but that Islamophobic. Trudeau did say they are going to be a huge benefit for a nation

2019-01-23 18:20:19 UTC  

Maybe this subject doesn't fit here, but I'm an American who's been researching the influnce and leverage the royal family has in the UK and I wanted to just ask... Given the Queen is under-utilizing her one vote in parliament and she stays pretty apolitical... Do you wish the royals were more involved in politics, or do you think their current level of humility is preferable?

She's last resort.

BIG RED BUTTON

in Norway the king have no political power by design to be sure things are still in the hands of the people. The UK system have evolved over a long time as they did have civil wars where the king was overstepping his power.

2019-01-23 18:26:22 UTC  

I think that it depends on how she uses it.

2019-01-23 18:26:42 UTC  

So in other news Venezuelans Congress President just assumed as Interim president to form a transition government and call General elections

2019-01-23 18:26:53 UTC  

If she saves the system, go for it. If she goes Palpatine, nope.

2019-01-23 18:27:00 UTC  

Shits gonna hit the fan

2019-01-23 18:27:35 UTC  

That's the interesting thing; it seems like the British royals give their people a sense of historical / cultural continuity that makes them feel comfortable, yet at the same time (almost three times in the last 100 years) the people are quick to talk about cutting them off if they step out of line.

2019-01-23 18:27:36 UTC  

Yeah amd now we are finally considered invading.

2019-01-23 18:27:51 UTC  

and Maduro is not going to let that fly

2019-01-23 18:28:31 UTC  

But anyway, I think the Queen can completely anull Parliament, can't she?

2019-01-23 18:30:10 UTC  

She might still have power. What started my dig was learning she always has a vote but that it's "known" that she almost never votes.

2019-01-23 18:30:28 UTC  

Of course not

2019-01-23 18:30:31 UTC  

They can't

2019-01-23 18:30:41 UTC  

That's why shits gonna hit the fan

2019-01-23 18:30:47 UTC  

The UK might need to Roman Republic this. A Dictator for the crisis.

2019-01-23 18:31:02 UTC  

So then I was like, hey... Shouldn't the royals care about Brexit, etc etc

2019-01-23 18:31:21 UTC  

The only thing that might be able to accomplish something is a military insurrection

2019-01-23 18:31:35 UTC  

But good luck with that

2019-01-23 18:33:02 UTC  

the last royal that had the power to annul the UK parliament was King Charles I in 1649, the queen do dissolves it before elections and not much more then that

2019-01-23 18:34:22 UTC  

So when is next election?

2019-01-23 18:35:03 UTC  

when King Charles did do it, it ended in a civil war that he did loose and was executed for treason

2019-01-23 18:35:56 UTC  

War of the Roses right?

2019-01-23 18:36:13 UTC  

And if you think about it too hard, that means the Brits kinda killed God... Or at least their pope more or less.

2019-01-23 18:36:37 UTC  

That is true.

2019-01-23 18:36:54 UTC  

Maybe this is all divine retribution.

2019-01-23 18:38:05 UTC  

war of the roses 1455-1485 was before the English civil war was 1642-1651

2019-01-23 18:38:12 UTC  

Oh

2019-01-23 18:38:29 UTC  

Fuck English history, we studied it for a month
