Of all the things to get upset about, we choose this?

Last edited Wed Sep 17, 2025, 03:01 PM - Edit history (1)

We have a war criminal actively participating to maintain genocides in Gaza and Ukraine. We have a traitor who has stolen classified information and most likely sold it to our enemies. We have a sex trafficker, especially concentrating on procuring young girls for rich and powerful people. We have a dictator commanding "his" army to take up arms against the people. We have a dictator illegally shutting down programs properly appropriated by Congress.

And some people are concerned about walking in front of an otherwise irrelevant person of "royalty" according to some ridiculous medieval customs that should have ended a millennium ago?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
