Other Americans: I'd be so mad if we had a King that spent all our taxes on a party for himself

Me, knowing we pay former presidents amd First Ladies a salary for the rest of their natural lives: Yeah that's crazy GUESS WHAT STUPID SHIT WE PAY FOR THAT BENEFITS US NOT AT ALL *insert political and socioeconomic info dump here*

If you didn't know...

The Former President's Act ensures a lifetime pension/salary for, uhhh former presidents (the name is super on the nose) roughly equal to that of a Cabinet secretary which (thanks Google!) is $226,000 as of 2022. They used to also be given 10 years of Secret Service protection but that's lifetime now as well.

Pensions are not unheard of in private sector jobs at all, but...when was the last time YOU made $226,000 a year? Just saying.

EAT THEM.

This joke will never rget old to me.

Shame it's a waste of taxpayers money when we could do with a minimum wage increase.

i hope he will fight through it and win. i feel so sorry for him

Today will go down in history.

not because some old white guy finally got a job.

but because Taylor announced Speak Now (TV) and it will forever be more monumental than anything Charlie will ever be able to do.

More coronation commentary from the anti-monarchist Australian nine year old:

- me: he’s wearing a dressing gown. Him: I told you he’d be wearing a toga

- “oh look! The anime sword!” This is what he calls all the swords

- Camilla has been sitting down and not doing anything for A While

- pause for snack break. He went around to everyone and checked if anyone of us needed anything. It’s ten to nine here so that’s fair.

- “that’s a jewelled sword. Are you sure it’s not a cross in disguise?”

- him: the president???!? Me: not that president. Him. Oh. Me: the lady with the sword. Him: I’ll call her the anime sword president

- stepmum: it’s made from woven gold? brother: what did you expect? Westminster abbey is a gold hotspot.

- yes the whole family is here but me and the small bean are the only ones I’m transcribing mostly

- my dad’s on his laptop, doing work probably. Totally uninterested. A legend.

- “so they’ve basically got all these different religious leaders who are probably thinking ‘uuurgj I wish they would stop talking about [christian god]’” ~ my brother, 2023

- now he’s getting basted in the veggie juice

No absolutely the fuck not. I will not be getting up at 3:30 the fuck am to watch prince chucky cheese get the glorified tin can if colonialism put on his head, and some baby oil sprinkled on his face

[prismolovessideblogs]

a lot of servants are women or gay men bc the Royal Family didn't trust straight men around the royal children

[apokoliips]
