You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

if anyone wanted to violently kidnap Starmer and prosecute him for something random in your country, I'm afraid there's nothing we'd be able to do to stop you, since he's a lawyer and he says that's fine as long as the head of state is unpopular enough

Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress.
The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.
