It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.

We're in fucking 1320 motherfucker.
The King is ailing and needs herbs and potions to keep him alive. The taxes are going up and your children are being requisitioned by the Crown.
But also critical support to the king and the pepto bismol he thinks will help.
feudal holdover believes in potions, more at 11
Would his majesty be interested in the traditional royal treatment of being fed a solution of powdered lead and mercury (the royal metal!) by some kind of court appointed alchemist/astrologer?
royal treatment of being fed a solution of powdered lead and mercury
I looked this up and
In Chinese alchemy, elixir poisoning refers to the toxic effects from elixirs of immortality that contained metals and minerals such as mercury and arsenic. The official Twenty-Four Histories record numerous Chinese emperors, nobles, and officials who died from taking elixirs to prolong their lifespans. The first emperor to die from elixir poisoning was likely Qin Shi Huang (d. 210 BCE) and the last was the Yongzheng Emperor (d. 1735 CE). Despite common knowledge that immortality potions could be deadly, fangshi and Daoist alchemists continued the elixir-making practice for two millennia.
Based alchemists disguising killing the parasiting ruling class as feeding into their fear of death.
Someone should inform him of the traditional guillotine treatment. Very effective for royals.
If you separate the head then the ass cancer can't reach the brain 🤔
Critical support to the King in his desire to off himself by refusing the finest medical treatment in the world.
Wow so Charles banknotes are gonna be a rarity in a few years.
Chemotherapy is fucking awful and I understand why someone might not want to do it, and these days there might be alternatives, specially if you have the resources of the British monarchy.
At any rate, I hope the cancer wins.
Norm MacDonald may be shitty but he did manage to be funny so to paraphrase 'really the best cancer can hope for is a draw '
the person playing Crusader Kings on this family clearly decided it was time to get a younger king on the throne
Not me, I always make my own religion and make the gender law equal so I don't have to worry about the gender of my council members locking me out of the most skilled people.

idk, critical support to the king for slowly and painfully killing himself unnecessarily.
He's going to break out the leaches, isn't he.
you do you king 🦀🦀🦀
isn't he like 98 years old or some shit, like at some point I feel like you gotta do the math and figure out if fucking up all the cellular replication in your body and all the consequent fun side effects of that is worth getting rid of a cancer that might not even kill you for another 5+ years
anyway hope he does the chemo and dies anyway fuck im
75 so younger than both Biden and Trump.
christ alive everything is so bad lmao
Damn and Liz died at 96/ Phillip at 99, if he lives as long his parents (very doubtful) he'd be king til 2045-2050
I'm as happy about a king dying as the next guy but I can't help hoping that his mortal husk keeps going for a bit longer. A dead king is not worth much when they just make a new and younger guy king.
The good thing about prince Charles being king is that he is so old and decrepit, there's no risk of him breathing new life into the monarchy or becoming popular. The current king is an embarrassment to the British state which is good and funny. I don't know about the next guy in line other than that he's probably an unlikable posh asshole but he looks reasonably lifelike and the propaganda apparatus might be able to construct a cult of personality around him.
This.
If Charles dies, William would become king. William is in his 40s and is tactful and very well respected, especially by the libs. If there's anyone who could keep up the optics of the monarchy like his grandmother did, it's him. We would have 45 more years of wholesome 100 state parasite.
Hear ye hear ye our King hath consul from the finest Apothecary in all the lands. A great many tinctures and potions shall restore our great monarch
hope it hurts.
My guess is that at the moment he's taking advice from a man called Michael Dixon, who he's championed for many years, has headed his own natural alternative medicinal institute
Looking into this dude just keeps getting better and better lmfao, Charles made him "head of the Royal Medical Household"

At his age is chemo really worth it? I kinda feel like I'd forgo it myself, just focus on enjoying what's left rather than spend years puking my guts out.

Since when do we quote and believe anything the great bullshitter and white supremacist Nigel Farage says? He even admits he's just talking out his ass in the same breath.
gbnews, as a source for anything, is as reliable as your nan's facebook
