Me too, and is a reflection upon him knowing the world is run by satanic pedophiles
So I guess we can disregard these whores. Imagine trying to compare NY banning sodas versus federal food stamps simply not allowing them to be used for totally unhealthy shit. Nobody is saying the food stamp recipients cannot buy soda. They just cannot use the food stamps to do it.
Flat Footed my ass............
Very good speech.

There is no entity called the “Commonwealth of England” today that Donald Trump could express interest in joining. It seems you might be referring to the Commonwealth of Nations, often simply called the Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 56 independent countries, most of which are former territories of the British Empire. The term “Commonwealth of England” historically refers to a republican government that existed in the mid-17th century, but it is not relevant here.
Based on recent reports and statements, Donald Trump has expressed openness to the idea of the United States joining the Commonwealth of Nations as an “associate member.” On March 21, 2025, Trump posted on Truth Social, “I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!” in response to a news article from The Sun suggesting that King Charles III might offer the U.S. associate membership during a planned state visit. This followed reports from outlets like the Daily Mail, which claimed that such a proposal was being discussed “at the highest levels” and could be formally extended when Trump visits the UK later in 2025. The idea was reportedly first floated during Trump’s initial presidency (2017–2021) and has been revived recently, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivering an invitation from the King for a second state visit.
Trump’s positive reaction—“Sounds good to me!”—indicates he is at least receptive to the concept, though it’s unclear how serious or actionable his stance is. The move would be unprecedented, given the U.S.’s history of declaring independence from Britain in 1776, and would require navigating complex diplomatic and political processes outlined by the Commonwealth Secretariat. Whether this reflects a genuine policy goal or an offhand comment remains uncertain, as Trump has not elaborated further in official statements beyond his social media post.
Commonwealth membership refers to participation in the Commonwealth of Nations, often simply called the Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 56 independent sovereign countries. Here’s a breakdown of what it entails:
What is the Commonwealth?
The Commonwealth is a political and economic organization that evolved from the British Empire. Most of its members were once under British colonial rule, though a few, like Rwanda and Mozambique, joined without this historical tie. It’s not a binding union like the European Union but a cooperative network promoting shared values, trade, and collaboration. The current head of the Commonwealth is King Charles III, a ceremonial role passed down from Queen Elizabeth II, though the organization is not a monarchy-led entity in a governing sense.
Membership Criteria
To join, a country typically must:
- Have a historic link to the British Empire (though exceptions exist, as noted with Rwanda and Mozambique).
- Recognize the British monarch as the symbolic head of the Commonwealth (even if the country is a republic).
- Accept the Commonwealth’s core values, outlined in its Charter, including democracy, human rights, rule of law, and sustainable development.
- Be a sovereign state—territories or dependencies don’t qualify.
- Gain approval from all existing member states, a process overseen by the Commonwealth Secretariat in London.
Applications are rare and often politically symbolic. For example, Gabon and Togo, former French colonies, joined in 2022, signaling a shift toward broader inclusivity.
Types of Membership
- Full Membership: The standard status for the 56 nations, granting equal say in decision-making at biennial Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings (CHOGM). Examples include Canada, Australia, India, and Nigeria.
- Associate Membership: A less-defined concept, occasionally floated but not formally established. It’s been speculated as a potential option for countries like the U.S., allowing participation without full commitment. This would likely mean observer status or limited involvement in trade and cultural programs, though details remain hypothetical.
- Suspension or Withdrawal: Members can be suspended for serious breaches of values (e.g., Zimbabwe was suspended in 2002 and later withdrew; it reapplied in 2018 but hasn’t rejoined as of 2025).
Benefits of Membership
- Trade and Economy: Members often enjoy preferential trade links, though not as structured as a free trade bloc. The Commonwealth’s combined GDP is around $13 trillion, with intra-Commonwealth trade growing steadily.
- Diplomacy: It provides a platform for small nations to amplify their voices alongside larger ones like the UK or India. CHOGM meetings foster bilateral deals and cooperation.
- Cultural and Practical Ties: Programs like the Commonwealth Games, scholarships (e.g., Commonwealth Scholarships), and shared legal traditions (common law in many states) strengthen bonds.
- Soft Power: For the UK, it’s a tool to maintain global influence post-Empire; for others, it’s a way to align with a diverse network.
Relevance to Trump and the U.S.
The idea of the U.S. joining, even as an associate member, is unconventional. The U.S. has no colonial tie to Britain beyond its pre-1776 history and is a global superpower with its own alliances (e.g., NATO, G7). Trump’s apparent interest—expressed in his March 21, 2025, Truth Social post “Sounds good to me!”—seems tied to his personal rapport with King Charles III and a potential state visit. Practically, U.S. membership would face hurdles: no modern precedent exists for a nation of its stature joining, and domestic political resistance (especially from those wary of symbolic ties to a monarchy) could be significant. Benefits might include enhanced UK-U.S. trade ties or a diplomatic gesture, but it’s unclear if Trump sees it as a serious policy or a symbolic nod.
In summary, Commonwealth membership is about voluntary cooperation, not obligation, rooted in history but adaptable to modern geopolitics. For most members, it’s a legacy framework turned into a pragmatic alliance.
This is obvious to me, Trump forming alliances to deal with Israel, the head of the snake….remember Israel for last….this is first pawn move and totally exposes Jones as Mossad…..in MY HUMBLE OPINION
Article is wrong….it’s clear now they were sent to save the WORLD
WOW
Fuck the moral high ground Flynn, fight them the way they fight us….this is WAR
USAID people rushed to court to try to get the money turned back on as well as get their jobs back.
And now the USIP folks literally barricade themselves in the building and have to be arrested and escorted out.
What is it about DOGE that these career bureaucrats find so absolutely alternately terrifying or infuriating?
REAL CITIZEN ACCOUNTABILITY.
The one thing DC has needed for decades and artfully avoided...until Trump won a 2nd term.
NOBODY in the DOGE team is a professional politician or a member of the political class. They are citizen appointees. Most come out of the business/corporate sector.
So the Swamp Denizens who spent decades deliberately constructing the federal Leviathan specifically to make it opaque and hide all the shit they've been doing with our money [while Congress and Inspector Generals PRETENDED to have oversight of all of it and saw nothing wrong at all!] do not want ORDINARY CITIZENS poking around their fraud machinery.
We've reached a point in the timeline where these federal career bureaucrats will LITERALLY barricade themselves inside a building to try to keep the citizenry from seeing what they've been up to with the public's money.
This is how you know we're winning and they're losing.
