RBE said...: King Charles, at the Trooping of the Color, rode and controlled a horse for a couple of hours...with vigor. No comparison between the two except their age.; 7/10/23, 7:41 AM
Chuck said...: Off the top of my head, isn’t Biden less than three years older than Trump? And I’m quite sure that HM Charles III is a couple of years younger than Trump.

I do think that Trump’s constantly talking like he was a 13 year old is part of the reason that he is not more often seen as “an old man.”; 7/10/23, 7:46 AM

gspencer said...: "neither of them elected by the people"

And people still believe that we aren't controlled by a cabal of the elite (e.g., CFR, RIIA et alia) who pick the "leaders."; 7/10/23, 9:05 AM
Sebastian said...: One shuffles, the other slows down to accommodate the geezer.

Call me deplorable if you want, but I'm gonna believe my lying eyes: Joe is infirm.; 7/10/23, 9:05 AM
Gusty Winds said...: Two douchebags on parade. Both "leaders" have no legitimate claim to power. King Charles, a symbolic monarch who's historical family power was based on "the divine right of Kings"; and our unelected, installed President. At least King Charles is a toothless tiger. The damage Biden is doing is irreversible.; 7/10/23, 9:21 AM

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: NO one cares about mean tweets.
Presidents should not waste time on twitter... or at least spend minimal time on it.

Embarrassing to be forced to be seen with that White Trash above the law Crook

Well said. King Chuck probably feels the same way about being seen with Brandon.

A pox on both

John henry said...: I've never understood this myth of the king having "no power"

He has powers that would make Mao drool with envy.

He does not use them mostly. At least not visibly.

But he certainly has them as well as an army, navy and airforce that have sworn loyalty to him personally. Not to England,not even to "the king".

In case he ever decides to exercise his powers.

He also has an unarmed populace, unlike Brandon

SteveWe said...: Biden is the shuffler, as you can see by the dust on his toe caps. And, don't call Charles III old; Charles and I are the same age and I'm not old. Biden is the old codger shuffling around in his body and and mind. He's America's Corn Pop.; 7/10/23, 11:38 AM

Jersey Fled said...: I was doing my warm-ups at PT this morning when this video popped up on the TV.

I asked my therapist what she thought of Biden’s gait.

She said "there's something wrong with him"; 7/10/23, 12:14 PM
wendybar said...: If you aren't embarrassed yet, then YOU aren't an American....

"Mr Biden appeared reluctant to end his conversation when Charles tried to get him to stop talking during their inspection of the Welsh Guards in the middle of a welcome ceremony." (even the editors of the daily mail know he is the installed president.)

XWL said...: People noticed the contrast between Trump's appearance at UFC290 in Las Vegas and Biden at his beach vacation in Delaware, both this Saturday. Here's TPUSA's Ben Johnson's take.

Of note, two main card fighters were Mexican nationals as were a large chunk of the attendees, yet the crowd still reacted positively each time they showed Trump on the screens in the arena.

And a bit of perspective someone mentioned on twitter (can't find the tweet), the US Constitution was ratified in 1790, 233 years ago, the combined age of the three fossils hectoring on climate change (79 year old Sec Kerry, 80 year old Pres Biden, 74 year old King Charles III) also 233 years.

I don't know if it's overblown exposure to all the insanity in America or not, but at the moment I feel like Joe Biden represents EXACTLY what American society has become.; 7/10/23, 3:25 PM
Free Manure While You Wait! said...: "We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men."

Why are you bringing up Trump? No one else did. Ever wonder why that is?; 7/10/23, 3:42 PM

King Charles has NO POWER, but President Biden is the most powerful human being on the planet. Watch him shuffle through the ceremonies. Makes you PROUD to be an American? Right? Right?; 7/10/23, 5:37 PM
