Honest question. Aside from the obvious (loss of life, family in mourning,etc), do we as Americans care?

I do not

Will CNN and MSNBC be covering this 24/7 for the next few days or will they continue to only talk Trump?

I don't but, the media will lap this up. They will run with it.

 

[ThunderCat98]

I believe she was the last remaining head of state to have served in the military.

I do. She was one of the last vestiges of class and grace in the disgusting world of international politics. Sad to lose that.

 

[greengeezer]

It is always a bit sad when a good person of historical significance passes. By all indications, she was decent soul.

It’s interesting as a historical mile marker. Her first PM was Winston Churchill, who was born in 1874. She was the most famous royal figure in the western world for the entire life of the vast majority of people alive today. One of the last bridges between historical eras just fell.

It doesn’t really matter. My life won’t be any different tomorrow because of it, and neither will pretty much any American’s, but it’s an interesting thing to reflect on.

 

[i am herdman]

Didn't she just meet this week with the outgoing PM and the new PM? Like just a day or so ago?

Yes, she might’ve just hung on to see Borris out, haha

She was the last standard of Western civilization as it was understood from 1000 AD to present has died with her.

Now her wastral son is King.

God help us.

Oh give it a few months, then her wastral grandson can be King

I thought they were Windsor's not Wastrals.

I always preferred vagabond.

There is no way that one boy is Prince Charles's son.

 

[greengeezer]

He sure is a prime example of the red headed stepchild.

I'm just sitting here wondering what song Sir Elton John will write to capitalize commemorate the Queen.

She killed her daughter in law

No wonder you don’t post as much as you once did. You’re working overtime at “The National Enquirer.”

It’s not the craziest conspiracy theory supported on this site.

 

[imherdfan]

There’s no sympathy from sone Irish Twitter accounts. Stone cold!

 

[imherdfan]

And another

 

[i am herdman]

As someone with Irish in the wood pile, they sat WW2 out. That is not cool

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

The Irish killed a bunch of innocent folk in the Troubles.

There is great irony in the fact that the Queen who oversaw the peaceful disestablishment of the empire is being knocked on by clowns who benefit from the empire.

. . . maybe not, but was the first thing i thought of when hearing of the queen's passing.

I'm amazed you still managed to fap to the pics in this video, knowing she was worm food.

You sick bastard.

I will likely watch the coronation of Charles, whenever it may be. Why? Because there hasn't been one in our lifetimes.

Charles served in the military as well. I'll give the Brits credit, their royals do serve.

But there’ll likely be 2

Depends on how you look it. Ceremonial or a real head of state.

The King of Jordan is or was in the military also

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Depends on how you look it.

I look at it like this: we do not know if a young man or woman will be President, but the Brits know someone will be monarch and they still serve. That is a fine tradition worth noting.

If Charles lives as long as his mum, I may not make it to #2.

I doubt ole sausage fingers is pushing 90. 80 might be a stretch.

I read where the Royal Family is worth an estimated 28 billion dollars. Half the time they seem miserable.

For some reason, I would like to meet that King and family. They say you are not suppossed to look at them in the eyes. I would like to crop dust them with a good bean fart. hhahaa, I would have to take a sneak peak and look them in the eye.

 

[big_country90]

While I’m generally opposed to the entire notion of a monarchy, the British monarchy is simply ceremonial and they generally share the same values as us, so I guess it’s whatever. But I agree, we have never seen this in our lifetime so it will be pretty cool. Also… Doesn’t he look like a king? It’s weird. He will assume the role seamlessly, in my opinion.

[ThunderCat98]

Seems I remember discussions from awhile back about Charles allowing William to leapfrog him in the line of succession. I thought they had already decided to bypass him. Guess not.
