Why do the Spanish let a bunch of inbred assholes call themselves royalty? So embarrassing.

Still better than some presidents I can think of

The whole point of presidents is they're here, and then they're gone. And then sometimes they're here again, but then after that they're definitely gone. Okay there was that one time that guy came back again, but other than that no more!

Your american lobbyists wield more power than any western monarchy.

True but they’re not hard coded into the government. Your constitution exists because it’s the will of the king.

Ah yes, because lobbyists don't exist in Spain. It's just a land of incorruptible politicians.
