    The king not being above the law is the founding principle of the United States. There was a whole revolution about it.

      No, there was a revolution because rich men wanted more. You fucking idiots just believed the song and dance.

      Lots of your presidents get away with despicable shit so don’t give it the star-spangled spit shine.

      Not it wasn’t???

      The trial and execution of King Charles I was 100 years before the revolution.
