Aodhain is right about the Shamrock thing, of course he ruined it all by using the Facsit word but donât for a second think anything other the Paddys Day junket was the reason behind Kennyâs crawling. Its not the junket perse, its the opportunity to show world âshur arenât we grateâ and have backs slapped for a few hours thats really behind it.

It would be funny but the end result would be the same as if any of them were sent over. Tongue out, searching for the crack.
Our eejits know theirs and our place in the grand scheme of things. They might try to convince everyone that Ireland is a player, but it is not. They know it and act accordingly.
Silly labour cunt doing his bit of flouncing for the chattering/twittering classes is on the ball in that heâll have gotten a couple of extra votes/likes for the next cycle, otherwise, he wouldnât have bothered his hole. He wonât be the only one.

The Bould Aodhan was in government party for 5 years but never whinged one iota about the shamrock shenanigans over that period . He is a worthy addition to this thread .

Ireland is a great little country all the same, the electorate told Aodhan to sling his hook, they excerised democracy to tell this prick to get fucked.
Here he is now funded by taxpayers preaching his dislike and intolerance of another country excerising democracy.
You literally couldnât make that up.

On the Christy Moore Live at the Point album, he leads into the song âHey Ronnie Reaganâ with some words about Reagans visit to Ireland in the 80âs. The last line of that lead in was:
âthe island of saints and scholars and gombeens and fucking arselickersâ
Spot on.

Letter Aaron Sorkin Wrote His Daughter After Donald Trump Was Elected President
The Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Social Network and mastermind behind The West Wing reacts to Donald Trump being elected the 45th president of the United States in a moving letter written to his 15-year-old daughter Roxy and her mother Julia Sorkin.
Sorkin Girls,
Well the world changed late last night in a way I couldnât protect us from. Thatâs a terrible feeling for a father. I wonât sugarcoat itâthis is truly horrible. Itâs hardly the first time my candidate didnât win (in fact itâs the sixth time) but it is the first time that a thoroughly incompetent pig with dangerous ideas, a serious psychiatric disorder, no knowledge of the world and no curiosity to learn has.
And it wasnât just Donald Trump who won last nightâit was his supporters too. The Klan won last night. White nationalists. Sexists, racists and buffoons. Angry young white men who think rap music and Cinco de Mayo are a threat to their way of life (or are the reason for their way of life) have been given cause to celebrate. Men who have no right to call themselves that and who think that women who aspire to more than looking hot are shrill, ugly, and otherwise worthy of our scorn rather than our admiration struck a blow for misogynistic shitheads everywhere. Hate was given hope. Abject dumbness was glamorized as being âthe fresh voice of an outsiderâ whoâs going to âshake things up.â (Did anyone bother to ask how? Is he going to re-arrange the chairs in the Roosevelt Room?) For the next four years, the President of the United States, the same office held by Washington and Jefferson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, F.D.R., J.F.K. and Barack Obama, will be held by a man-boy whoâll spend his hours exacting Twitter vengeance against all who criticize him (and those numbers will be legion). Weâve embarrassed ourselves in front of our children and the world.
And the world took no time to react. The Dow futures dropped 700 points overnight. Economists are predicting a deep and prolonged recession. Our NATO allies are in a state of legitimate fear. And speaking of fear, Muslim-Americans, Mexican-Americans and African-Americans are shaking in their shoes. And weâd be right to note that many of Donald Trumpâs fans are not fans of Jews. On the other hand, there is a party going on at ISIS headquarters. What wouldnât we give to trade this small fraction of a man for Richard Nixon right now?
So what do we do?
First of all, we remember that weâre not alone. A hundred million people in America and a billion more around the world feel exactly the same way we do.
Second, we get out of bed. The Trumpsters want to see people like us (Jewish, âcoastal elites,â educated, socially progressive, HollywoodâŚ) sobbing and wailing and talking about moving to Canada. I wonât give them that and neither will you. Hereâs what weâll doâŚ

âŚweâll fucking fight. (Roxy, thereâs a time for this kind of language and itâs now.) Weâre not powerless and weâre not voiceless. We donât have majorities in the House or Senate but we do have representatives there. Itâs also good to remember that most members of Trumpâs own party feel exactly the same way about him that we do. We make sure that the people we sent to Washingtonâincluding Kamala Harrisâtake our strength with them and never take a day off.
We get involved. We do what we can to fight injustice anywhere we see itâwhether itâs writing a check or rolling up our sleeves. Our family is fairly insulated from the effects of a Trump presidency so we fight for the families that arenât. We fight for a woman to keep her right to choose. We fight for the First Amendment and we fight mostly for equalityânot for a guarantee of equal outcomes but for equal opportunities. We stand up.
America didnât stop being America last night and we didnât stop being Americans and hereâs the thing about Americans: Our darkest days have alwaysâalwaysâbeen followed by our finest hours.
Roxy, I know my predictions have let you down in the past, but personally, I donât think this guy can make it a year without committing an impeachable crime. If he does manage to be a douche nozzle without breaking the law for four years, weâll make it through those four years. And three years from now weâll fight like hell for our candidate and weâll win and theyâll lose and this time theyâll lose for good. Honey, itâll be your first vote.
The battle isnât over, itâs just begun. Grandpa fought in World War II and when he came home this country handed him an opportunity to make a great life for his family. I will not hand his granddaughter a country shaped by hateful and stupid men. Your tears last night woke me up, and Iâll never go to sleep on you again.
Love,
Dad
Editorâs note: A previous version of this article overstated the amount by which Dow futures dropped on Wednesday morning.

Sorkin is just as full of his own importance, if he was the one who published that letter, as Trump.
Its fucking stupid, even if alot of what he says is right. You wrote it to your daughters, not facebook.

You were wearing the green down in Ballyporeen,

With your arm around Garreth , you dangled your carrot

Thereâs a great intro/poem on that big box set he released a few years ago. All about him being out of his mind on coke in America. If he hadnt disappeared so far up his own arse the last few years would have been perfect for a good protest song writer .
