@Coctaanatis The British monarchy is known for its ceremonial traditions, and the costs associated with maintaining these ceremonial functions are covered by the Sovereign Grant, which is funded by the UK government. In the fiscal year 2020-2021, the total Sovereign Grant amounted to £85.9 million. This grant is used to cover the official expenses of the monarchy, including staff salaries, travel, maintenance of royal palaces, and other operational costs. It is important to note that the Sovereign Grant primarily covers the official duties of the monarchy, such as state visits, ceremonies, and engagements. The costs associated with ceremonial military units, such as the Household Division and the Queen's Guard, are separate from the Sovereign Grant and are funded through the Ministry of Defence budget. In addition to the Sovereign Grant, there are also other sources of income for the royal family, including the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall . These sources of income help to offset some of the costs of maintaining the ceremonial monarchy. Overall, the exact breakdown of how much the British government spends on maintaining their ceremonial monarchy, including indirect costs such as ceremonial military units, can vary from year to year. However, the Sovereign Grant provides a significant portion of the funding for the official duties and ceremonial functions of the monarchy.

Better version of that graphic:

Women vote more than men. Fact.

“Trump’s problems with women are apparent even in the Senate GOP conference, where two of the Senate’s most prominent women, Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), say they won’t vote for Trump. Both will be key swing votes in the next Congress if Republicans win back control of the upper chamber.”

Republicans have been pissing on women. We know it.
