MMA Fighter and Proud Irishman Conor MacGregor Hints at Run for Irish President

Because apparently that's the only way you'll be allowed free speech in Ireland.

Maybe. Maybe they'll wind up prosecuting the Irish president for questioning unlimited mass immigration as "hate" speech, too.


The featherweight champion hinted yet again this week that he is planning a run for the presidency in Ireland -- a massive career change Elon Musk lauded as "not even fair" to other contenders.

McGregor, 35, who has been outspoken in recent weeks amid violent rioting in Dublin, said Monday he would serve at the whim of the people should he throw his hat in the 2025 election: "It would not be me in power as president, people of Ireland. It would be me and you."

The controversial MMA fighter criticized the three other aging contenders vying to succeed incumbent President Michael D. Higgins, famous for his trusty Bernese mountain dog Misneach.

"Potential competition if I run. Gerry [Adams], 78. Bertie [Ahern]. 75. Enda [Kenny], 74. Each with unbreakable ties to their individual parties politics. Regardless of what the public outside of their parties feel. These parties govern themselves vs govern the people," McGregor wrote on X.


"Or me, 35. Young, active, passionate, fresh skin in the game. I listen. I support. I adapt. I have no affiliation/bias/favoritism toward any party. They would genuinely be held to account regarding the current sway of public feeling.
I'd even put it all to vote," he continued.

"There'd be votes every week to make sure. I can fund."

It's a bit of a naive platform -- "I'll just do whatever the people want; I'll hold votes to find out what the people want me to do" -- but that kind of naive platform sometimes does get people elected.

And one part of his agenda seems settled: He is firm on the point that Irish people should not be second-class citizens in Ireland.

What backwards, xenophobic thinking! What a racist! Doesn't he know that Ireland has a long history of colonizing... um... wait...

Well okay Ireland was itself colonized for 1,500 years, but they're white (or at least the English accepted that they were "white enough" 100 years ago) so they're "colonial adjacent"!

Tesla founder and Twitter owner Musk quickly showed support for McGregor, stating the longtime politicians wouldn't stand a chance against the newcomer.

"I think you could take them all single-handed. Not even fair," Musk replied, alongside a crying laughing emoji.

In a lengthy response to the Space X CEO, McGregor pointed out that the road to the nomination would be a tedious process, but he feels strongly that he'd find success on the other side: "I'd fancy my chances Elon, 100%"

They're better than average. Some are useless and weird (Ventura), some turn rotten (Schwarzenegger), some do relatively well (Trump). Compared to the baseline average, though - which is "miserable rotten fucker groomed by a corrupt system of insiders who hate the people, and who do unspeakable damage in every moment of public life" - those risks are a lot more palatable.

101 The best that McGregor can hope for is that he will have a louder bully pulpit as President since the post is primarily ceremonial. The real power is vested in the Taoiseach (Prime Minister).

I'm sure McGregor realizes that he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of becoming the Taoiseach. The parties in Ireland won't support him at all, but he does have a chance at the Presidency. So, Conor, sharpen up those scissors! There are lot of libraries that need to be opened, lad!

In the Irish countryside, almost every little farm (and there are A LOT of little farms has cattle of some number. One cow on up.

The Irish gov't has voted to slaughter 300,000 Irish cows/bulls as a blood sacrifice to Gaia.

This will seriously impoverish tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

Like all Western Gov'ts, the Irish gov't governs only to enrich themselves and make their citizens lives worse.

302 Don't think Sherm and Little Big Man were there. Eli Parker, was, though. Seneca Indian. Robert Lincoln was probably there, as he was on Grant's staff, but out of sight, to avoid rubbing Lee's face in it.
Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at December 07, 2023 04:40 PM (JrojV)

Sheridan, Sherman was in North Carolina, though he had been visiting Grant and Lincoln in March before the closing operations kicked off.

Sheridan was leading the cavalry and Army of the James that did the flanking pursuit that outraced Lee to the Courthouse and cut off his retreat. Grant had ridden to join him in that place.

"Aside from Grant and Lee, only Lt. Colonel Marshall and perhaps a half dozen of Grant’s staff officers were present for most of the meeting. Approximately a dozen other Union officers entered the room briefly, including Captain Robert Todd Lincoln. Few besides Grant left detailed accounts of what transpired and while some accounts disagree on the details, there are many key consistencies."

I had not remembered Robert Lincoln was present or in the room even briefly, good catch.

Spanish Guyana (Guiana) became part of Venezuela

Dutch Guyana (Guiana) became the nation of Suriname.

Lula has a problem, he is fully committed to the socialist agenda that Venezuela represents, but he has problems of his own, and a better army and logistics tail.

Now Bolsinaro would have just parachuted an column in and taken the southeasten plains as well, but Lula would have trouble getting the troops ready to deploy.

Venezuela is broke broke broke. Invading Guyana is to distract from this. It is essentially the Malvinas redux

In fall 1862 the Rebs invaded well, all over but Kentucky is the interesting area. Louisville was under threat, they were collecting troops to defend it and a Regular army Captain Gilbert was promoted to Major General and put in command of a Corps. Then the army went out and met Braxton Bragg at Perryville and he did one of his patented "attack first and then retreat south" deals. Gilbert didn't do too well, apparently he didn't hear the attack that smashed a corps on the flank, and after the tempers cooled Congress refused to allow the promotion ot Major General so he was back to Captain.

I think they were purchased. Under duress from War but nevertheless purchased.

Absolutely they were purchased. For what they were worth? No, because that was just before the discovery of gold in California. But this idea that we just "stole" it from Mexico is complete BS.

Texas was annexed, but willingly by the Texans (not so willingly by the unhappy Mexicans).
And definitely under duress for Northern Mexico.
There's also Puerto Rico, the Philippines.

424 Here in Pennsylvania you can make home brews and sell them but you have to give a name to them. Somebody named their brew 'Nanny State'.

The older guys in the Dorm Suite in college homebrewed some beer one year. The label was "Free Beer: The Best Kind". Blew it all on one party...it was pretty foul stuff.

They have a 'factory' in my little town. Is that the correct word for imitation meat? Whatever, they *used* to have tractor trailers pulling out of the premises constantly. Anymore? Not much traffic.

Consumers seem to be beyond Beyond Meat.

Nueva Granada was the Colonial name under Spain, and the name of the unified republic under Bolivar. If it were put back together it would need a "newer" name. Verdad?
