Europeans who focus on American politics a lot annoy me. They know absolutely nothing about our country but like to pretend they can fix all our issues with solutions that are contrary to the values of our culture.

How did Europeans influence America?
The Europeans brought technologies, ideas, plants, and animals that were new to America and would transform peoples' lives: guns, iron tools, and weapons; Christianity and Roman law; sugarcane and wheat; horses and cattle. They also carried diseases against which the Indian peoples had no defenses.

I honestly wonder if Shila is a chatbot and the owner just lied to the mods when we were all questioning it.

The debate on Twitter about whether or not George Floyd is a martyr or a hero is an echo-chamber, with most of those posting remaining unchallenged in their convictions that he’s neither. But no supporters of the protests have argued that he’s a hero. Why, then, are conservatives fighting the straw-man claim that Floyd was a martyr or a hero?

Answer your own question.
They want to build him up so they can tear him down.

That was many years ago. It was a time before America developed into the country it is today. Why do you think we separated from Britain in 1776? Differences in our cultures resulted in conflict, stemming from taxes, representation, and citizens’ rights.

What are the English influences on American government?
The English Bill of Rights, Petition of Right, and the Magna Carta served as examples for the American Bill of Rights. The most powerful example they set were how to protect rights by limiting government.

How did the British Empire change America?
For people living in the colonies, British rule often meant that their traditional languages, religions and ways of living were replaced with the English language, Christianity and British systems of government and education. English remains the official language of many ex-colonies to this day.

That does not mean we have the same culture as Britain. Yes, there was some influence, but there’s also many differences. You are being pedantic.

The major difference is America is not a monarchy. But with Trump that might change. America will finally get its king.

Does the United States of America have a royal family?

There's no monarchy in the USA, so no royal family. There are “famous” families, but their status isn't guaranteed. Trump could change all that by declaring his family royalty.

The Supreme Court Gives the President the Power of a King with total immunity.

Is the president a king? The US supreme court thinks so. On Monday, in its very last ruling of the term, the chief justice, John Roberts, writing for the court’s six conservatives, held in Trump v United States that Donald Trump has “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution for all acts that can be interpreted as part of the official course of his “core” duties, and “presumptive” immunity for all other official acts.

Declaring oneself a king is not a part of "official acts" or "core duties". The above quote is the court's way of saying: No, Trump cannot be prosecuted for using the legal powers given to him by the Constitution.

In the article you copy-and-paste, some left-wing journalist is simply whining that Trump can't go to jail for doing something he is allowed to do- that being, challenging election results if he believes they are incorrect, for national security purposes.

The journalist who wrote that article failed to be objective; the journalist allowed his bias to taint that article. Lesson 1: Do not be so quick to trust what an American journalist says. Many of them are delusional.

It was not the journalist’s opinion.

It was John Roberts’s opinion that presidents cannot be prosecuted for official acts. It was the journalist’s opinion that the Supreme Court says Trump is royalty. The journalist does not understand what the Supreme Court actually said. The journalist is simply whining about the Supreme Court’s decision in the case.
