    #LandTitle

    Andrew Windsor is the greatest living proof that the #DivineRightOfKings is a scam. He is also proof that the best family is the one we choose, not one based on (presumed) bloodlines.

    i can’t help myself — i loathe not just everything he stands for, but even what he appears to be.

    anyone who could possibly think donald trump is good company is ipso facto a tool, and that’s before we consider anything else andrew’s accused of.

    i’m enjoying the trashing of andrew, and the turning of tables: harry might be a total twat for all i care, but could not possibly be anywhere near the twat andrew is, or deserve half the press’s venom.

    the royal family might be scrambling to protect its brand, but if what they stand for is shit, what is their brand worth?

    the world is phukt because of our phukt ideas about land ownership. everything stems from that. none of these twats deserve a smidgteenth of what they control. they have done nothing to earn any of it, even after they were born. i wish them all a very andrew future.

  2. CW: King Henry II kills, literature 5/5

    AIUI the Church quickly turns Tom into a martyr.
    Pilgimages to Canterbury Cathedral boom.
    Did having Tom as a martyr make the King , as instigator, an unholy abuser, at least until he's forgiven? Did this weigh against the #DivineRightOfKings.

    And you get one guess on whose shrine the pilgrims in #Chaucer's #CanterburyTales (1400) are headed to.
    Currently considering how better to read/listen to those tales. Doesn't appear to be any obvious choice.

  3. "Nothing good happens when you bend the rules for Trump. We saw that play out, again, in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday.

    It’s time for the courts to show that they are up to the task of treating Trump like they would treat anyone else."

  4. "What is the law coming to when a former president can seriously argue for his plenary right to kill his opponents and yet still be considered a leading contender for election? The mind boggles and the rule of law shudders on its weakened foundations."

  5. "Trump claims immunity from criminal prosecution over ANY act he committed while doing anything remotely 'official' while he was president. And he really does mean ANY act, including blatantly criminal acts like selling pardons, passing nuclear secrets or taking out political enemies.

    Is that the kind of world we want to live in?"

  6. Greg Sargent says that Trump's immunity nonsense is being seen asd his attempt to scuttle Jack Smith's prosecution, but "there’s another way to understand Trump’s move: It’s about what comes next. If he wins on this front, he’d be largely unshackled in a second presidential term, free to pursue all manner of corrupt designs with little fear of legal consequences after leaving office again."

  7. On Judge Chutkan writing on Trump, "Defendant’s four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens." I wonder if John Neville Figgis would agree with that.
