Sure, if accountability was involved somehow. Luckily for this administration, they don’t have it because Republicans shun it. ---

[The felon thinks speaking English is a value–not valuable, but a value.](https://www.aol.com/articles/trump-prepares-speak-state-banquet-200151442.html) > President Donald Trump’s [historic](https://time.com/7317411/trump-uk-state-visit-schedule-royals/) second state [visit to Britain](https://time.com/7317920/trump-united-kingdom-state-visit-royal-family-protests/) continued on Wednesday night with a royal banquet at Windsor Castle, a rare honor that British leaders hope might smooth the path for new agreements on technology and trade. > > Following a day of pomp and pageantry, Trump and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, made their way to a long banquet table set with silver-gilt candelabras and flowers inside St George’s Hall, beneath a soaring timber ceiling decorated with the coats of arms of every Knight of the Garter since the order was founded in the 14th century. > > King Charles III was seated next to Trump, the pair flanked by Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Across the table, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was placed beside Queen Camilla, with the First Lady and Prince William seated to her right. Further down, Prime Minister Keir Starmer dined alongside Stephen A. Schwarzman, the chief executive of Blackstone. > > In brief remarks before the dinner, Charles hailed the “enduring bond” between the two nations and praised Trump’s “personal commitment to finding solutions to some of the world’s most intractable conflicts in order to secure peace.” He also mentioned protecting the environment, a personal cause for the King, and suggested that the U.K. and U.S. can “go even further” on economic cooperation beyond a trade deal signed earlier this year. > > Charles specifically mentioned the war in Ukraine: “As tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of Ukraine to deter aggression and secure peace.” The king did his best, I’ll grant, but alas that was not enough to stem the oncoming tide of bullshit. > Trump opened his remarks by saying it’s a “singular privilege to be the first American president welcomed here” to Windsor Castle. He added with pride that he was the first president to draw a [second state visit](https://time.com/7317411/trump-uk-state-visit-schedule-royals/), adding that he hopes he might be the last, and calling it one of the highest honors of his life. Nice dig, there, felon. Of course you don’t want any other American president to be invited. You simply don’t want any other American president, period. > “The word special does not begin to do it justice,” Trump said of the bond between the U.S. and U.K. “We’re joined by history and faith, by love, language and by transcendent ties of culture, tradition, ancestry and destiny.” He went on to say he’s made America “the hottest country in the world” since he returned to office. English culture. English tradition. English ancestry. English destiny (whatever the fuck that is). And “hottest country in the world”? Yeah, felon; you’ve made it a hot mess. > “Together, we must defend the exceptional heritage that makes us who we are, and we must continue to stand for the values of the people of the English-speaking world,” Trump said. “And we do indeed stand for that.” What values are that, felon? Could it be cheating on your pregnant wife? No? Perhaps it’s committing a score and fourteen (to use the old English counting) felonies? No? Maybe it’s denying rights to anyone who’s not white or who opposes you politically? Wait. I don’t remember that last one being part of England’s political climate for quiet some time now. ---

ABC and it’s Parent Company Disney, have decided to suspend the Jimmy Kimmel Show because of remarks he made about Charlie Kirk. NEW YORK (AP) — ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely beginning Wednesday after comments that he made about [Charlie Kirk’s killing](https://apnews.com/article/charlie-kirk-shooting-suspect-things-to-know-dcde3f792f4d6636d44fb9f4fa53569c) led a group of ABC-affiliated stations to say it would not air the show and provoked some ominous comments from a top federal regulator. [The veteran late-night comic,](https://apnews.com/hub/jimmy-kimmel) made several remarks about the reaction to the conservative activist’s assassination last week on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday and Tuesday nights, including that “many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.” “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney,” Carr said on the Benny Johnson podcast. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” I know there is not one god damn thing I can do to stop this. ---
