The Next US President is....

Ok:rolleyes:, lol

She doesn't challenge power when it favors her. You can look back at her record which is full of contradiction, or even as recently as this election cycle. Her only notable moment was drawing attention to Joe Biden's record on bussing, she later claimed she believed Biden's rape accusers, only to accept a VP position from him, like any other establishment politician.

Well, we have this Covid thingy. I don't know her private situation, but who knows when she had fun the last time? Maybe she is just trying to catch two birds with one stone;)
 
Knowing their whiskies and drinking habits in Ireland I actually do believe he would thank you later.

Oddly enough, while we have millions of jackasses in America who identify as "Irish," it wasn't until I lived in Japan that I met anyone genuinely from Ireland and based on that experience I don't know if visiting would be a great idea. During my early years in Japan, a young Irish couple--girl was from Dublin, I believe, while the boyfriend was from Northern Ireland--moved into my apartment complex and became part of our usual drinking club. The girl was absolutely lovely, and I thought her accent was quite attractive. What wasn't as attractive, however, was the amount of alcohol she could consume and still appear to be stone cold sober. I suppose it was a bit emasculating. The northern boyfriend, on the other hand, was a walking disaster. First off, at the best of times I could understand perhaps 75% of what he was saying; feed him a few drinks and that number went down to around 10%. By the end of the night I'd just be nodding at whatever he said, which to me just sounded like jumbled, angry mumbling peppered with "fook" or "fookin" in-between syllables. And by that point he'd usually have found a British male--any British male--nearby and tried to start a brawl with him.

Communications issues aside, it quickly became clear that the Irish couple and myself shared the exact same favorite pastimes--getting shitfaced and then raising hell. After three or four hours at Za-Watami, when all the other eikaiwa teachers were staggering back to the train platform to go home and sleep it off, the three of us would be raiding Family Mart and leaving with bags full of beer, fireworks, lighters and anything even remotely conducive toward violence. Then we'd end up at the neighborhood park starting fires, blowing shit up, shooting roman candles at passing cars, smashing beer bottles and kicking trash cans. I guess some things transcend language.

I don't know if this is true, but a friend of mine visited Ireland and told me that every night when the pubs finally close, all the drunks take to the streets and start smashing their glasses and mugs. Then, they all go home. Then, a street-sweeper rolls through to clean up the mess. Then repeat the next night.

I might be older and boring now, but I don't think Ireland should be on my list of places to visit. Ever.

I think instead of student exchange programs Ireland is doing drunkard exchanges. So you host an Irish person in your home and if you survive the exchange program then you get to go and be a drunkard in Ireland. You won't survive that though.
 
Actual Irish folk refer to them as "plastic paddies".

I actually learned that lesson from the same Irish couple. An American co-worker of mine introduced himself to them by exclaiming, "HEY, I'M IRISH, TOO!" They responded with an furious tirade about "fucking Americans" and that was the last time he ever brought it up.
 
May the best candidate win. Cheers!

In a rare appearance where Joe was allowed out in public, he delivered this powerful and poignant speech to voters in Pittsburgh. And keep in mind, he was reading off a teleprompter.

If you really want to pity the guy, the full video is on Youtube, fast forward to 12:34. And there are still two months and three debates to go. His family really should be charged with elder abuse.

yep, and these are the best 2 out of a population of 328 million+... apparently. It's almost as if the system is broken?

Just scrap the whole thing, get Tom Hanks and Beyonce to run the place as joint presidents, everyone is happy.

I'd vote for Tom Hanks but that's a big NO to Beyonce. That pompous bitch and her thug husband have made over a BILLION DOLLARS in America yet they do nothing but piss and moan about the U.S. and sit during the anthem in their $100,000 Superbowl seats, along with a bunch of shit-for-brains professional athletes who get paid millions of dollars to play a game. Most importantly, Beyonce is not hot, anymore. Fuck the both of them.

Tom Hanks, on the other hand, is reportedly a really, really nice guy. My favorite story about him is that he enjoys randomly stopping Hollywood tour groups to surprise people. In this picture, he pulled up to a tour bus, rolled down the window and shouted, "SEEN ANY MOVIE STARS TODAY??"

Not sure if I'd trust him being POTUS, but he'd probably make a good mayor, kinda like my favorite actor-politician, Clint Eastwood. Clint would've been a fucking awesome POTUS.

I have a weird feeling this is like the old USSR when they could only get 70+ year old guys on top.

Sounds like the sleazier parts of Thailand

Yep, can attest that in Thailand being under 70 almost always ended up by the girls being on top of me.

don't they do that because the police in the US like to execute black people for sport? seems like a reasonable protest to me. If I were a black American, and I saw the amount of racist shit going on there, Id probably not be belting out the anthem at the SuperBowl either.

There is not a single country on the face of the planet or in the history of mankind that has given black men and women as much opportunity to succeed and become successful and wealthy as the United States. So if America is, as you put it, a fundamentally "racist" country full of law enforcement professionals who "like to execute black people for sport," then why, for over a century, have black and brown poor people around the world been willing to risk life and limb to get here and bring their families with them? And when did your home country, or any other leading developed western nation in the world, overwhelmingly elect a black man to be its leader? That's about as stupid and ignorant of a comment as anyone could possibly make and really not worthy of a dignified response except to illustrate its sheer idiocy.

If any obscenely rich celebrity wants to disrespect our history, flag or anthem, that piece of shit is fully welcome to get the fuck out and move elsewhere, perhaps to your nation of origin. But they never do, and never will, and there's a good reason for that.

"...execute black people for sport" was overly hyperbolic, but off of what metric are you basing this on? You imply that because people have been driven to immigrate to the US for over a centery it must be great for them there, but that doesn't mean things can't be improved for some of them. Jim Crow laws existed within the last century, would you have made the same argument then? It doesn't add up. Obama becoming president was largly symbolic and doesn't mean that racism isn't a problem. If you still fail to see systemic issues or that law enforcement is out of control (for everyone, not just disproportionatly effected groups) today, then I'm not sure you ever will.

"....there's a good reason for that" yeah, they like some things about the country and dislike others What's wrong with that? I'm not a celebrity, I hate professional sports, I haven't consumed any movies/TV/music that wasn't old or weird for many years, and I'm out of here the second I finish grad school, lol.
