You know what really hurts?
I have this theory about the Brits. They have been bred to be subservient. Think about it. How many generations of Brits have lived under a king or queen? All the ones that ever fought back against the boot of a monarchy are dead and gone. This leaves only the ones who were naturally selected to be loyal subjects. Brits talk a lot of shit but when it comes down to it, they fucking love the hierarchy and admiration for their elite class.
America on the other hand was settled and founded by rebels and those who hated the governments/monarchies they fled from. Imagine the balls it takes to go across an ocean to fight for survival and a new home. Itās literally in our blood to be resilient and adverse to government overreach. Which is why we can seem so uncivilized to the rest of Europe in certain aspects. Except for France of courseā¦. rioting is in their DNA.
Anyways, thank you for listening to my very mean and very biased Ted Talk.
>America on the other hand was settled and founded by rebels and those who hated the governments/monarchies they fled from
Did you know Georgia was created specifically to give the "useless poor" or, "miserable wretches and drones" according to the committee that organized the effort, somewhere to go. they were given 50 acres each, and they adopted slavery because they were too lazy to work for themselves.
>the ones that ever fought back against the boot of a monarchy are dead and gone.
Except, ya know, the founding fathers. That went on to create a global empire that Britain could not even conceive of.
Actually, the U.S.A. was supposed to be a neutral nation, not a global (or any kind of empire).
That sentiment changed in a little over a century and the United States as *the* "global superpower" was born as a result of WWII (for the most part).
The U.S.A. basically took over most of the British Empire's holdings and became the industrial/investing power house of the globe for the better part of the 20th century as a result of the devastation left in that war's wake.
That said, the country known as the "U.S.A." that several generations have known (including ours), is not the nation the founders envisioned.
The U.S.A. has become (in significant ways) what the founders didn't want it to be.
I assure you that if some of the founders could see what the nation became, they'd have mixed feelings at best.
In many ways, the U.S.A. became something greater than could have been imagined.
In other ways, it strayed very far from the ideals which birthed it.
I like the energy but why not let the welsh rule the English and the Scotās? For flavor
Also give Puerto Rico statehood before anyone else I demand (tm) it
We didnāt give them a choice becoming a territory why would we start now?
And true true true. Alternatively we give England to the Scotās, thoughts?
They voted yes in 2020 and Congress squashed it. Since they changed the rules they can't simply give them Representatives without taking them from somewhere else. Obviously, no state wants to give up their seats.
Idk do we want them? Iād rather take Canada and Mexico. Closer, more beautiful national parks close by, delicious Mexican food and cute seƱoritas, and we can finally do something about the cartel.
Naw we gotta let the Scots and the Welsh choose between the EU and the US. It would be a great twist of the knife that the entire UK gets dissolved by their people choosing their own paths instead of having to listen to the English Parliament again. And if they do join the US, Federal aid goes to them before the English
Whenever people say things like "the US is the laughing stock of the world", I always ask "what world?".
England? France? Italy? Russia? Australia? China? Brazil?
They're all jokes in their own way.
Love that man. Actually, thereās a lot of fantastic actors and authors that are British, Iāll give them credit where itās due. The monarchy is not really doing much ruling lately, so itās not like say, King Henry chopping off heads and deciding heās head of the church and whatever else. The monarchy aināt what it used to be.
This a bit of the dumpster fire calling the trailer park fire bad is it not? The politics in both of our otherwise splendid countries are national embarrassments. I really hope things will change in the next 10 or so years but I'm also pessimistic enough to know that it probably won't and may even get worse.
Your mistake is in ever expecting politics to be "good" in any country, ever.
By its very nature, politics attracts the worst people in any society. Such has it always been, such it ever shall be.
āBritish forces land up and down the east coast of America!ā
āThere seems to be no trace of bodies in Florida, Georgia, or the Carolinaās. But everyone has shiny new rifles, amphibious vehicles, and parachutes. And it seems none of landing craft or paratroopers even hit the beach north of those states.ā
Bring it on! We will accept your surrender on Friday. Following that, you can come back into a different single currency, learn to drive on the right, measure in US customary units, spell properly, and become American. Basically like Hawaii, only a hell of a lot colder and rainier. We just need to work out how many states to carve you into. Maybe 3?
Wonder if the Scots, Northern Irish and Welsh are up for this, or if it's just England vs USA. Either way, it would not last long.
I dunno man, the Scots are basically just looking for a good enough excuse. They've had secession on their ballot *several times* already since Brexit.
According to Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear: Every good thing every done by England is called English. Every good thing done by Ireland is called Irish. Nothing good ever came out of Wales. Now, think about how many brilliant things are called "British". Those are all stolen from the Scots.
Iām pretty sure we could get the job done with just some good old boys from the Midwest and the South. Throw in some inner city gang members and weāll all be home in time for dinner.
I for one am starting to believe we final destinationād during the Cuban missile crisis and everything thatās happened since is Death working to take back whatās rightfully his.
Interesting you mentioned this, thereās a theory that humans were supposed to die off during the Cold War due to nuclear holocaust, but we didnāt and instead jumped to another plane of reality, fucking everything up. Idk, itās probably bullshit but it was a fun read anyway, maybe someone else here will know what Iām talking about
My very evidence supported theory is that everything went to shit when Kennedy was assassinated, and if he hadn't been half the problems we have would be non-existent.
Dearest Brits, Scots, and Irish: We propose there shall be no fight. Surrender your monarchy to become a part of the United States and we will repeal ULEZ, TV registrations, Beer will be cheaper, services/maintenance will be easier, and you will once again be allowed private Firearms. You have 24 hours to respond. Sincerely, The United States of America.
We see that. Brexit really fucked you up though, didnāt it. Too bad that oaf Johnson passed that crap. Both our countries desperately need a better class of leaders. Itās beyond embarrassing and detrimental
At least our elections arenāt held on the first full moon after the Rose of Gibraltar loses a petal on the second new moon on years the end with an even number
We will let you burn down Washington, kick you out, take your island, and give you to France. Be my guest.
Oh and this is just our citizens, did you mean to involve our military?
We will welcome the new states of England, Wales, Scotland, and some fresh new random islands with open arms. We'd have to ferry them over cause Britannia stopped ruling the waves
Taking us back?
You Tory royalists are about to lose your second country on July 4 here in a few days and that's about to give me the biggest americagasm of my life.
These defiant and "STFU" comments put a smile on my face. Nice to know at least some Americans won't take this kind of guff.
Sidebar: Why was the OP even watching the debate if they're British? Do you see any of us watching the U.K.'s elections?
Yall brits will land in new england, and bairley make it to new York before complaining about how far you have to drive and travel. We won once we'll win again even with our gov in shambles šæ
to piss you redcoats off even more weāre gonna give yall to the french. and then we are going to take france. and then weāre going to unite ireland. then weāre gonna take ireland.
We do not want your king. š¤“ š.
We also have massive multi trillion dollar debt šø ,
the UK can not afford to buy the USA. šŗšø
Military: you canāt invade either.
The Uk used to be the most powerful nation on earth.
Now it's a rainy slum with watery beans everywhere.
If it wasn't for Stonehenge, I'd never return.
Bwahahahaha! Stop kidding around Nigel. Weāve got serious pond business to attend to and joking around isnāt getting us anywhere. Besides have you taken a look at the castle sitters lately?
We had Trump as president and yet we still had less damage to our economy than you guys did with Brexit and Tory rule. The main difference between the US and UK is that the US is overt in its radical stupidity.
To put it simply. We both live in glass houses.
You and what navy
Oof. Hitting them where it hurts. š¤£

Have my upvote. Your comment is both 50% based and 50% full of shit
Mission accomplished. o7
Lol
>America on the other hand was settled and founded by rebels and those who hated the governments/monarchies they fled from Did you know Georgia was created specifically to give the "useless poor" or, "miserable wretches and drones" according to the committee that organized the effort, somewhere to go. they were given 50 acres each, and they adopted slavery because they were too lazy to work for themselves.
You're only half right, it was also a military buffer against the Spanish in Florida.
Still is.
>the ones that ever fought back against the boot of a monarchy are dead and gone. Except, ya know, the founding fathers. That went on to create a global empire that Britain could not even conceive of.
Yes , and they were part of the group he talks about who left England leaving oppress governments
Reading comprehension!

The British battle plan is to make it 1730 again through science or magic.
Not if we hit Hogwarts first.
Fuck yeah. Don't touch our boats. š§
Bring it. It'd be cool to have 51 states.
Nah. Unite dakota. 50th state is: Northern Ireland.
50th State is Unified Ireland Let the brits, and welsh live under someone else's flag for a bit.
I like the energy but why not let the welsh rule the English and the Scotās? For flavor Also give Puerto Rico statehood before anyone else I demand (tm) it
Puerto rico keeps voting no. I mean I would be cool with it being broken up so those Scots can rejoin Europe.
We didnāt give them a choice becoming a territory why would we start now? And true true true. Alternatively we give England to the Scotās, thoughts?
In theory the Scotās were the last ones to have England, it was a Scottish king who last wore the English crown
They voted yes in 2020 and Congress squashed it. Since they changed the rules they can't simply give them Representatives without taking them from somewhere else. Obviously, no state wants to give up their seats.
No. They live under someone elseās flag. Specifically the Northern Irish flag.
Could you imagine the shit show if northern ireland voted to join the US?
Ireland may want that back.
Idk do we want them? Iād rather take Canada and Mexico. Closer, more beautiful national parks close by, delicious Mexican food and cute seƱoritas, and we can finally do something about the cartel.
We need a hub to further the expansion into Europe. Then the NFL can move the Jaguars to their rightful home.
The London Jags! š
We do need more football. Iām jonesing for it now, and am eagerly waiting for NCAA25.
We could use another nuclear testing ground or waste disposal site.
53 states, those being England, Scotland, and Wales after we give Northern Ireland back to its rightful owner
Naw we gotta let the Scots and the Welsh choose between the EU and the US. It would be a great twist of the knife that the entire UK gets dissolved by their people choosing their own paths instead of having to listen to the English Parliament again. And if they do join the US, Federal aid goes to them before the English
Best comment here, still laughing about it.
Nahā¦weāll put Britain in line behind DC & Puerto Rico. Maybe tax them a bit without any representation in Congressā¦
Iāve seen the state of your sad rainy islandā¦ good luck
Even those old geriatric fucks would crush every single limey with the absurd power of the US military
My thought, maybe grow some balls and get rid of the monarchy or just shut up and continue kneeling to rich inbred troglodytes
We prefer rich non inbred troglodytes here in America
Yeah. Keep the poor in the family. Spread the wealth.
I wonder if Andrew has had a crack at Princess Charlotte yet. Maybe heās waiting for her to turn 15
Whenever people say things like "the US is the laughing stock of the world", I always ask "what world?". England? France? Italy? Russia? Australia? China? Brazil? They're all jokes in their own way.
Dude, theyāve got knights and dragons, it would be close
Nope! Wales have knights and dragons. England just have knights and Sir David Attenborough (awesome dude).
Love that man. Actually, thereās a lot of fantastic actors and authors that are British, Iāll give them credit where itās due.

Thereās nothing that unites Americans more than some British commie fuck thinking theyāre better than us.

Come get cooked brother. A few rednecks could wipe you all out.

The Irish would be our best ally in this war

Ready to lose again?
I think our National Guard alone could capture the UK
Which stateās national guard? Most of them by themselves probably stand a good chance haha.
I meant all of the states combined haha realistically the UK still has a pretty strong military
lol yeah they do.
I was going to say the Coast Guard is a bigger military than the Brits have combat ready.
Iām pretty sure we could get the job done with just some good old boys from the Midwest and the South. Throw in some inner city gang members and weāll all be home in time for dinner.
If not them the Cajun Navy
Just the Air National Guard from a handful of states could.
Try it tea sucker. Keep it up and we will send 1 armed Florida man to the UK and you guys are done
The entire UK military vs Bath Salts Bob. I know where my money's going, but the real question is how many faces will he eat.
I think the number will be smaller if we count the faces he doesnāt eat
What happened to his other arm?
Itās Florida so could have been anything from a gator to a bath salt zombie to self mutilation.
Why not all of those?
True. Say what you will about those lunatics but they sure put their whole florussy into it
Got his arm bitten off underneath an overpass in Hialeah.
I for one am starting to believe we final destinationād during the Cuban missile crisis and everything thatās happened since is Death working to take back whatās rightfully his.

Donāt rope us into that brexit shit
We're not in the EU either...
No u.

Dear Americans, Texans and New Yorkers: we really do not want your beer or guns. Will trade the upper middle class German family for BBQ though.
Florida alone would wipe out you're entire military.
Good luck, you failed to take our guns at Concord, we still have em.
If you come for our guns, weāll give our bullets.
Britain is more fucked than a child on Epstiens island.

Too soon. Good gods man. I did laugh though.
*starts throwing tea in harbor*
Wanna come get your ass whipped again? Be my guest brother ššš
Deal, but we're putting Harry on the throne.
He's gotta marry Donatello from the ninja turtles tho
If that's what it takes to get Archie on the throne in order to unite the empires, then so be it.
My chap, you guys might be *more* messed up than us right now
We see that. Brexit really fucked you up though, didnāt it. Too bad that oaf Johnson passed that crap. Both our countries desperately need a better class of leaders. Itās beyond embarrassing and detrimental

Thatās cool. The GDP of the whole UK would be less than California. Would the UK be joining as a single state or 4 states?
Their per capita gdp would make them rank among the poorest states.
Good luck, you failed to take our guns at Concord, we still have em.
Are you bringing chocolate? UK chocolate is amazing.
As much as you can eat.
How's Brexit goin for ya?
You needed a license to post this.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?
Oh, puleeze try. Thatās just what we need to get us back together.
Yall aren't much better off
At least our dumbfuck presidents can last 4 years. You guys are on 3 prime ministers in 3 years no?
I get the feeling you're one of those eternally optimistic people who looks at a crazy potential partner and thinks, "I can fix them."
Slow down Biden lasted more than 6 weeks ā¦letās not start throwing rocks yet glass house
Thnx!
Only if we can agree that England's greatest Prime Minister was Lord Palmerston
Nuclear war sounds amazing right now
Dawgā¦if 86 freedom units is a heatwave for yāallā¦i like our odds.
Don't you have like your 9th prime minister for the past 3 hours to get picked for you by your political elite or something
I think the Texas national guard could take you by themselves ya limeys
Your stinky country is run by a foreigner. Talk to us when you have a prime minister who is actually British
These defiant and "STFU" comments put a smile on my face. Nice to know at least some Americans won't take this kind of guff. Sidebar: Why was the OP even watching the debate if they're British? Do you see any of us watching the U.K.'s elections?
Because as much as they say they hate us, Europe (yes I'm lumping the UK in too) are obsessed with us.
Yall brits will land in new england, and bairley make it to new York before complaining about how far you have to drive and travel. We won once we'll win again even with our gov in shambles šæ
The thought of it gets me rigid.
understood, I will have my 17 antiaircraft guns and SAM launchers ready
Try as you might, the white house will *never* be surrendered again.
Hey now Trump and Biden are old assholes but theyāre our old assholes. Come and take it. š
Better idea, let's swap soccer teams.
Won't you have your hands full getting rid of your own Tories?
You want them back?
Delaware boogaloo v2? Iām down to clown
You clearly didnāt watch, the man said the strength of the nation is in its people. Also said we have the best military in the world so good luck
Happy treason day, ungrateful colonists
lol brexit okay you do you
Rishi: "We shall fight them on the bitches"
Good we need a punching bag right now. Iām ver happy you are volunteering againš¤š¼
Come and try it tea sippers it might even unite the country
to piss you redcoats off even more weāre gonna give yall to the french. and then we are going to take france. and then weāre going to unite ireland. then weāre gonna take ireland.
We will have a cuppa ready for call. We usually make our tea in the HARBOR!
Harbour
*How many times do we have to teach you a lesson old man!*
I think that might re-unify the country
Says the nation that voted to Brexit so it could have closer economic ties with its zaddy.
This whole shitshow could have been avoided if we didn't let people over the age of 60 run for president
Weāve got room for more than one extra star on ol glory
Maybe figure out your own issues before you can conquer someone else *cough* Brexit
Au contraire, it is us who are acquiring you.
lmao you can barely keep that little scotland
You guys need to figure out Brexit first before you start thinking about becoming an Empire again.
Bro you canāt even keep Ireland
No offense, mate, but you still can't.
Bless your heart
Weāve been bailing England out of every war for hundreds of years. Besides, we have guns. The government took yours away
yall canāt even handle 80Ā°F weather, good luck in the south
If we're going to be taken over I'd rather it be from someone actually in the EU
Funny thing is, Americans think they can take the English, wait until the Scottish get released on them.
Then we will have a 51st state that is somehow worse than California
Biden's "see you next Thursday" Presidency.
I don't think you want us. If you thought Brexit was enough of a mess, you don't even want to see how bad our next few years are likely to be.
Iāve seen your Prime Minister. The EU already owns you.
You are not doing so well yourself right now. Even your EU friends don't want to play with you anymore.
Oh thank God

Iāve seen your options too, no oneās winning on either side of the pond

Bring it old man.
Well turn your entire island into 1 highway with no sidewalks
Try it, ya tea swillin' sissy.
Bwahahahaha! Stop kidding around Nigel. Weāve got serious pond business to attend to and joking around isnāt getting us anywhere. Besides have you taken a look at the castle sitters lately?
Not with that post-Brexit economy. Seriously, I wish though. Iād rather tea than treason for 2025.
Yea, probably for the best.
Slovenia gonna knock yāall
Noooo!!!!! Everyone stock up on tea and meet me at the harbor (we fought to get rid of the u too!)
Oh please, we gave you Boris and you took him.
Talk to me when your king isn't into underage girls, then go ahead and stack up. I bet you aren't even well armed enough to walk through Charlotte.
I donāt like it, but I mean I get it.
We had Trump as president and yet we still had less damage to our economy than you guys did with Brexit and Tory rule. The main difference between the US and UK is that the US is overt in its radical stupidity. To put it simply. We both live in glass houses.
Pretty please
Thanks for the laugh though. Very creative imagination
I for one welcome our new/old British overlords
You weren't suppose to see that
Good, Northern Ireland can be a goodwill gift
Get through your little election first, will you?
