Yes – tea & bacon butties with the British rellies watching queenie on the teevee.
Did not watch. Wasn’t the least bit interested.
What?
Did Trump pork another whore?
Must’ve missed it.

Such a sad husk of a person you are.
That wedding was part of the real “sad husk” of the remnants of the British Empire, just as whoremaster Trump is part of the remnants of the now rapidly tanking American Empire. Anyone who takes either of them seriously…or just about anything else massively hyped by the Government Media Complex…has absolutely nothing valid to say about what I wrote.
It was…as was the wedding and as is the whole Trumpist foofaraw on all sides of its existence…a joke.
You disagree?
Great.
Go back to watching your false news.
It is now all false news, all of the time. Been that way for decades…at least since the assassination years. When they got away with that series of loads of bullshit they realized that they could fool most of the people all of the time.
At least I can still laugh at it.
You?
Apparently not.
Here cums the bride.
She gonna be very, very rich.
So what?
Will she…or her husband…in any way affect the Permanent War machine that now rules the world?
Of course not.
It’s just another in a series of distractions.
WTFU.

Oh look, there goes the point. Again…

What about all these things asks Arthur!
Doesn’t that makes me being shit so much better says Arthur?
No Arthur, pointing out things that are shit, or more precise things that you perceive as being shit are not of any relevance to you being shit.
The only thing that changes ones shitness is behaving in less shitty ways.
But maybe you are only looking for sympathy from feeble minds? The minds that are easily impressed by your aggressiveness, very much the same dynamic that make people like what Trump says. I have noticed that you behave in ways that seems to mimic exactly that.
So Arthur, is it you that mimics Trump, or have you just developed shitness completely separate from him?
Look in the mirror Arthur, do you like what you see? Maybe you don’t, but feel like you being shit is exactly what the world needs to heal. Thats what i imagine Trump thinks when, if ever, he reflects on himself.
I assume that you are going to react the same as always to being criticized, you are going to tirade against all your pet targets, hoping that the one or two people that care about your words are impressed by it, and forget how shit you yourself are.
Oh, you know what? Thats exactly like Trump!
Oh, did you even wonder why i think you are being shit? Not in general, i think you could figure that out if your giant ego wasn’t in the way(like Trumps!), but in this instance?
When appropriate I support you. But in this instance, why not emulate MikeInOhio’s classy responses? Or better yet, STFU.
All you’ve done with this and following comments is confirm people’s opinion that nothing you have to say has merit. Your comments with merit might be listened to if you didn’t cultivate the skunk at the garden party persona. But perhaps you don’t want to be listened to. Just want attention like that crude madman in the White House.
I hadn’t planned to watch, but sat down to see the news this morning and found it at the beginning of the ceremony.
I enjoyed it very much. I found the new couple to be completely charming and obviously very much in love. And the pomp and circumstance was reassuring during these times of chaos in the world. Megan was radiant and Harry was handsome and regal.
The Royal Family seems to be evolving and that is a good thing. I was glad to see a more “colorful” cast of characters and hope it represents change in the monarchy.
Uplifting news, for a change.
I loved it too! I thought it was did a wonderful job of balancing the old and the new, and loved watching the Royals’ response to Bishop Curry’s sermon. And the choice of Stand by Me, and This Little Light were so wonderful too.
I watched the Greatest Hit on replay because I read that the sermon was great. And it was! The other pix were pretty and infuriating.
Didn’t see it. I was out all morning doing a highway litter cleanup with a few other Democrats, part of our local community service projects that we do.
Not that I would have watched the wedding. Just not my thing.
I’m not much into those kind of cultural touchstone moments, I guess…..
Thanks Mike, fellow Ohioan and good solid Democrat. Thanks for doing the litter cleanup and for not bashing the Wedding. Some of us enjoy celebrations that allow us to take a step back from the gore of American politics and enjoy, vicariously, the joy and beauty of Somewhere Else. Having others mock that or try to belittle it serves no purpose.
I certainly understand the interest that events such as the wedding will generate. And if I actually sat down and watched it, I certainly would have an appreciation for the splendor, pageantry and long history that it represents. We all are individuals, and I appreciate and respect all our differences. I hope you enjoyed the event, donnah, and that it did help you to spend a few moments outside our crazy country and its politics.
Have a good weekend!
It was a welcome break after being locked in a world of Trump narcisissum for way too long. I liked the rendition of ‘Stand by Me’ and felt inspired for the first time in too long.
So much symbolism of change…who knew finger foods symbolized a move away from cliques?
My friend’s only cousin was there. He’s in a lot of photos as arm candy to his famous wife.
The two ugly step-sisters again managed to wear the ugliest outfits. I think they love it.
Yes, I ignored it. Actually I wasn’t invited (but that’s ok–we were never close.)
Was that today?
I am not a royal-watcher, nor do I follow much in celebrity-land, either. But I do like this one, as:
Didn’t watch. Did the second worst father in the world attend?
