Why do they need to explain it?

Legally speaking the Duchy of Cornwall is a peerage title with a very special remainder. It owns vast tracts of real estate. As eldestson of the Monarch he gets it automatically under those rules, which date to the 13th century. Granted those rules can change by Act of Parlaiment, but all property rules can change by…

Particularly since they were already in New York City.

I have no fucking clue why LooseSeals is talking about investing. Their wealth is mostly land. Vast tracts of land. The land goes with the jobs.

Strictly speaking Lady Di was a commoner. Her father was Earl Spencer, but under English law an Earl and his wife (the Countess) are the only nobles in the family. The children are high-ranking gentry. Gentry are not nobility, they are high-ranking commoners. Which is why Princess Michael (daughter of an Austrian…

“Princess Michael of Kent” is just the equivelent of the old fashioned “Mrs. Barrack Obama” for Michele Obama or Mrs. geirge Bush” for Laura Bush. She uses it because her husband doesn’t have a British peerage title. If he was a Baron/Viscount/Earl/Marquis/Duke she’d be “Lady Marie,” but everyone would call her…

They have a complex house name (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg) that is generally shortened to just Glücksberg. They do not consider this a last name.

British Royals use their own titles, or their father’s primary title, in spots where they’d need to use a last name. So Harry’s Army uniform had “Wales” written on it. If William went back to the RAF his flight-suit would have Cambridge on it. The plan for their non-titled descendents is to use “Mountbatten-Windsor,”…

Gerrymandering. The City has six Council seats. 1/6 is 16.6%, therefore to win a single seat you only need 8.3% of the city-wide vote. If you’ve got a segregated city which is 30% white, you divide them equally into three districts then three districts are 10% white, and 10%>8.3%.

When you have a city that’s too small to pay it’s elected officials full-time salaries, there still to be someone in the office to make decisions 40 hours a week. That guy is generally called City Manager. If you’re in a smallish suburb or a small town you do not want to be paying your Mayor a full-time salary.

He had a chance to give us universal healthcare, but he didnt. He had a chance to legalize marijuana, but he didnt. He had a chance to be a strong black man and actually put this country in the rights hands after he left by supporting Bernie Sanders. Instead he chose to be weak and bend over for his corporate…

It’s also very possible to consume 5k calories in a diet rich in Starbucks coffee and organic beef. But the upper college-educated hipsters who rule the culture drink Starbucks, eat expensive organic beef, etc. so nobody would dream of making a documentary showing the negative health effects of 5k calories of those…

He didn’t just eat McDonald’s for 30 days. He ate 5,000 calories of McDonald’s a day. If you’re eating 5,000 calories a day, every day for a month, and you aren’t exercising your ass off your health is gonna tank.

He wants to play. So he’s staying in shape.

If Goodel admitted the obvious he’d basically be admitting Kaepernick’s collusion complaint was justified.

This piece is in that very very annoying genre of hit-pieces: true enough that you can’t call it a complete lie, but biased to the point of complete bullshit nonetheless. In particular it lacks context. It’s like reading the League of the South version of the Civil War.

She may have deleted those special. I can’t tell because if you go to her site today it has a cute “goodbye” message. It’s been that way since April ‘17. If she intends to marry into the family it all had to go down.

She took the whole site down. Probably had to.

Skin tone ain’t that useful.

You’re thinking of this wrong. They “would be willing to give police access to your DNA if they have a warrant.” That’s not ‘giving’ the police access. If they have a legally valid warrant they don’t ask for a favor, they just order you to tell them. Fighting it can make sense, if the Judge is doing something weird,…
