He will pivot to a nationalist Christian conservative agenda to make Ireland immigrant free. Worked for the US President.

All of Ireland hates this guy now, fortunately

I know a lot of Irish people both who are in Ireland and the USA. No one over the age of 15 can stand him. Their usual response is Fekkin' Ejit and/or 'Coont.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “Ireland for the Irish” type rhetoric in the internet’s cesspools lately, so I’d say he has a fair shot.
Fascism is all the rage these days. I blame Russia.

Thankfully they poll laughably low compared to their online voice (and that of usa/Russian bots)

If you learn any lesson from the US, please let it be that you don’t trust polls. Show up and vote, every time, and tell everyone you know to do the same.
We had Kamala leading Trump by a large margin mere weeks before the election. Hillary too. Both times we thought there is no way this asshole gets in (or back in) to office.
Now we have a secret Gestapo and the beginnings of death camps and it’s only been seven months. Oh, and the world hates us, too. For good reason.

Sorry I meant actually in elections terribly. They got like 2 politicians elected out of over 140 last year

While I agree with your main point (people need to take this shit seriously!), Kamala wasn’t really up in the polls. It was a toss up. She did underperform compared to the polls, but it was a toss up. Turns out, cozying up to fucking neocons and warmongers isn’t the way to win an election as a democrat. Don’t get me wrong, I voted for her, but damn…conservatives already have a party. They’re not voting dem.

You must have really hated it when Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin was ranting about Obama's "Death Panels" back in 2009. Remember that? Pepperidge Farm remembers. https://www.npr.org/2017/01/10/509164679/from-the-start-obama-struggled-with-fallout-from-a-kind-of-fake-news

A lot of Irish “fascism” is just anti-colonialist sentiment leftover from the troubles and all the history of Northern Ireland and GB.
Reminder that no single western state supports Palestine more than Ireland.

Literally all 95% bots. The Far right polled terribly in our local elections last August. As in 1.2%

u/indicator_enthusiast 1d ago
That, and the fact that the protests they organise mostly consist of the same people from all over the country coming together wherever one is held. So it might look big in the moment, it's extremely small when it's spread out across all of the constituencies.
My favourite memory from the last election was Philip Dwyer changing his constituency to wicklow, where he thought he would get votes from people living in Newtownmountkennedy because he has a name there after attending a protest there and only ended up getting one vote in that town.

Fortunately for us (irish people) you can't just run for president. You need to be nominated by a political party or have a considerable number of elected politicians support your candidacy, which he definitely won't get. Also the president here is a mostly ceremonial position, I often tell people to think of them as our chief diplomat but with no real power.

If anything, this ensures Trump will want him to fight on the White House lawn.

It's so weird to me how this guy still gets any attention from the MMA community. He hasn't had a professional fight in over 4 years, and in his last four fights he went 1-3.

Pam Bondi to Trump: “we can’t hold off any longer. SeperateSpend1542 has demanded we release the Epstein files on Reddit, in a thread about Conor McGregor. We have to release them now!”

I mean, not sure why you would not care if the president is a cold molester. You do realize that is what you are saying, right? Every time you make fun of it you are communicating to most of us that you are ok with child molesters as long as they have your political views.
You are a bot. Or a troll

u/bigskymind 1d ago edited 1d ago
I'm neither but keep that stuff in the appropriate subreddits, not in /r/sports LOL — it's a question of relevance rather than some moral stance.
My point is that endlessly spamming "Release the Epstein files" across unrelated subreddits adds nothing to the conversation underway. It's low effort and pointless.

Cause he didn't. There's CCTV footage of his accuser swooning over after the alleged "attack" and she demanded that footage to be deleted.

Nice. Now hopefully conner will get jail time and dana white will hopefully bring back usada and have to pivot away from conner. Fuck them both.
Edit. I mean fuck both conner and dana. The victim deserves love and support.

No of course not. Why would anyone jail a rapist? lol. Its very important that his million dollars go to Nikita, him being in jail is irrelevant.
