King Charles cites Magna Carta in address to Congress

paghetti.bsky.social94

If you want a non-generic reason why this is important, Magna Carta is the basis of habeas corpus which ICE continues to violate. Also probable cause. Also no person can be deprived of property without due process.

The President would not understand what the King is saying and Mike Johnson would say he's never heard of that.

Dr_Moreau189681

Trump is so star struck by being in the presence of an actual king that he won’t even realize that this is a rejection of his persona.

Karmageddon35

Former Justice Breyer was in the front row, in his robes, grinning from ear to ear during that part of the speech.

The Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter, is a foundational document in English history that was signed by King John on June 15, 1215. It established the principle that everyone, including the king, is subject to the law, laying the groundwork for modern democracy and individual rights.

In other words, No Kings

Yes, but this current make up of the Supreme Court is heavy with religious fundamentalist who have no honor binding them to the Constitution.

Regina Schrambling 26

I can’t even with all the kingsplaining to supine Congress.

Charles throwing shade, not on my bingo card

GrisGris20

I hope someone explains to tRump what King Charles actually said to him.

Ricki ca18

Trump is likely asking others who this woman named Magna Carta is and if she is beautiful.

Kimi🍀☮🤘💖🐈‍⬛🐈864716

And they ALL stood up and cheered. Irony is lost in this country.

benhosp.bsky.social15

lol Charles said No Kings

Cheesecake13

Is it my imagination of has our Charlieboy spent the day calling Trump on his shit?

Bill13

When the king of the country that you had to fight for your freedom has to tell you about checks and balances. Unbelievable.

Chris p12

You go King Charles. Wow!

Pete Kotz11

Who knew King Charles could throw a brushback pitch?

Gazpacho Labs11

Dammit, Charles is gonna temper my loathing of the British crown, isn't he?

Jack Robert Miller10

When a literal KING tells you to tone it down ...

Sadie G10

Now I see why King Charles didn't listen to the people advising him not to come here. He needed to publicly admonish trump and SCOTUS. Good for him!

King Charles visit to US backfires on Trump.

gettingouttadodge.bsky.social10

What I just read: British monarch has more respect for the laws of the United States than the president and Congress of the United States. *side note: who knew KC could throw shade like that?

Lilly of Copper Island10

Is it still an insult if the target is too stupid to get it?

thenextphase.bsky.social7

Just a gentle reminder to Congress to DO YOUR JOB!

The Opinionated Retiree and Nasty Part Owner of Canada 🇨🇦6

I'm surprised that Trump didn't have an angry response to what King Charles said.

Laurie R6

Sacred text…….the Magna Carta, we were sooo thrilled to see the hand written copy of it in the National Archives! One of four in the world!!

A King reminding America - classic.

Garrett Bliss 🇺🇦6

Diff between a real King and this orange turd.

Flamenco y Vino6

Waiting for the low IQ post ….

Kate McClanaghan5

Tell him, Chuck! Make him gag on it! (I wasn't thrilled with Chuck & Cam insisting on coming. I'm eating crow. And this is in part why. Chuck is a hardcore Conservationist as well! Hope he imposes restoring & leaving our natural resources ALONE!

kundinyasana.bsky.social5

Is he roasting SCOTUS and Donny, I think so, Translation “what on earth are you lot carrying on with over here”.

Col Smith5

Even Kings know their limits. Want-to-be dictators like Trump don't believe they have any limits.

sarcasmrules.bsky.social5

Went RIGHT over Trump's head.

craiger5

Magna Carta >> Ten Commandments

Rafiki4

Even other old yt men are tired of other yt men Lol. Hopeful

⚜️ Studio Mythras ⚜️4

Getting democracy-shamed by the monarch of the country we fought against for our liberation. I can't lie; it hurts.

Penny Justice💙4

And yet the Republicans stood up and clapped.

Pere Jes4

I may have misjudged Chuck. He's let loose with several digs at trump.

Sydney °••●☆°••☆4

i think our founding fathers would have liked the kings speech.

I play percussion4

MAGA /trump won’t understand most of this quote.

Keesling Sky4

Oh shit, the King is out here attacking Trump to his face!

Gotaklew3

Too bad our "King" doesn't have a clue what he is talking about, and he'd blame it on the accent.

Rick does Math and Stuff3

I've been bringing up the Magna Carta for quite some time now, since Trump apparently wants toll back our legal system to a pre-Magna Carta time. It's pleasantly surprising to see Charles III is on board with this criticism.

Joanne3

That seems like a strong rebuke in colloquial British upper class

connie3

ooh was that a burn?🔥

Democratic Free Press2

Trump 2 kings Dictators arent kings

Thomas Bsketty2

That's a misleading statistic, at least five of those citations are to the Jay-Z album.

mungonna8.bsky.social2

Russ Vought was seething...Stevie Miller grabbed Katies boobies! MAGNA CARTA has Nuthin to do With Proj2025!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙃

starrling2

Someone should ask Felon to explain what King Charles III just said. If you can wake him up, of course.

Tom Burnett2

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!! Right in 🍊💩🤡’s face! Good one, Charles.

Helen Kennedy95

The most beautiful strong Carta. I’ve known it for years.

Mr. Snoofers29

She was a great singer, she used to sing at Mar a Lago. She was one of the good ones.

KMark196915

Trump: "Never heard of Maggie Carter"

Angrywhitebitch12

He doesn’t want to talk about that, it’s very personal for him.

🪀Lefty Wilbury🇺🇦12

Then ask him to share his fav Bible verse!

Aibo - Zonny9

Nixon:🇺🇸 1973"... I'm not a crook." Trump:🇺🇸 2026...."I'm not a pedophile.

"He was a good guy, very loyal."

"It's a great organization. They supported me bigly. You know I won the 2020 election. They know that election was stolen from me. It's a great group of patriots. They believe in America First."

Velvet Vixen ♡7

I'd love to hear his answer! 😂 Probably something about it being a "tremendous" document.

good george6

Or simply ask him about “asylum.” He still doesn’t know the difference between seeking and mental asylum. He’s a buffoon. He’s also a con man, sexual abuser, 34x convicted felon & traitor

AnarchoTerran5

It was big. It was a very impressive Carta. I could have made it better. I make the best Cartas.

Khr5@bsky.com5

I wish just one reporter would ask that, he would absolutely lose it, because he has no idea what it s

Steve3

10 bucks says he asks the reporter did you say Magnum condom?

Damon Bernstein3

There'd be bigger bucks, if just once, a reporter said, "sir, what you just said is a lie; the public needs to hear the truth. Try telling it."

Melinda here 4 the defeat of evil 🛑 this shit 💙🤬3

He would say it’s a great champagne we have it every year at my huuuge New Year’s party. We will have it in my huuuge new ballroom on New Years.

Jim Brown3

“It’s a really GREAT Carta…one Of the best, but you know blah blah blah *more incoherent babble* blah blah JOE BIDEN blah blah Barrack HUSSEIN OBAMA”

Lady with an opinion3

He probably thinks it’s a type of condom

Trevor Foster2

He has a Magna Carta guy who does his Cartas, like no other.

TensegrityFan🍋🐝🍯2

‘He was a terrible President. Awful President. Terrible guy really. Didn’t care about the American people. Sleepy Carter, I like to call him. Always sleeping. Didn’t want to talk to the Russians. Like I do. All the time. I listen to what they want. He really was our worst President. After BIIIDEN!’

⛧🌹Dylan X Darke🌹⛧2

We have dozens of bottles of Magna Carta at Maralardo, the biggest, most expensive bottles!

Fight like Michael Collins2

His reply would be, “I don’t know anything about that. I don’t go to strip clubs. What was her name again?”

MerelyMollie🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱2

He'd probably say, "Magna who?"

aka Uncle Cracker2

“… he is great fighter, some say he looks like a young Trump, handsome …”

David Seibert5

He remind them of their legal responsibility, which they don't want to hear.

Mike H5

Tired: presidential immunity Wired: a King saying “Careful folks”

Caroline 🇨🇦4

Nobody in that administration has ever heard of the Magna Carta, much less read it.

Dave’s Not Here Man.4

Was a very good speech, I miss that in America.

jsewtz.bsky.social2

Bracton 101. No one is above the law

Wendy2

Well, JD is gonna admonish Charles (like he did with Pope Leo) with some vapid line about “when Charles is speaking, he should stay in his lane regarding monarchs and the people“.

anyvontrappe.bsky.social2

Judging by the official White House post showing Charles and Trump together with the caption "two kings" it seems like the message was missed.

✨🦋𝓢𝓗𝓔𝓘𝓛𝓐 🦋✨5

This was a good speech!!

Jimmy2

I only look at the suits. This guy has on a very expensive suit.

David Higham8

And yet the very people applauding have the power to restrain Trump but chose not to use it. The sight of Vance and Johnson applauding the comments on understanding between faiths made me feel quite nauseous.
