Whatever app you are using felt it was important.

Maybe change your apps.

I didn't get any notifications on my phone about the Royal WEdding.

Good for both of them for following their heart. Good for them for not giving a dang about the world's negative view of their relationship. Good for both of them to include both parts of their culture and history. Love wins!

No, it wasn't. Read more about their guests. Representatives from charities.

"Our MSM gushes over royals"

ugh, I know. Turned the television on to see how the Hawaiian volcano was doing and the coverage was about some horse faced blue bloods. So, I went for a bike ride.

2018 -- we can get our news from the internet and make it tailored to our likes/dislikes and wants/needs.

Technology is amazing.

Just log on -- type in Hawaii volcano and there you go.

So easy,

Or you can do it the old fashioned way and turn on the tv and then get frustrated not finding what you really need.

It would in their best interest to reject citizenship.

The IRS can come after Amreicans who never worked or lived in the USA for tax money.

If I was Markle I would renounce my American citizenship.

Absolutely positively no benefit to be an American living in the UK permanently.

Please keep pretending, renounce American citizenship and let us know how it works out.

If you change your mind, you can always come back in illegally and get more rights than a citizen.
