I don’t know much about MMA or Ireland and I could have told you that.

Enzyoo@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 10 Aug 23:24 next collapse

US should take note on this.

AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world on 10 Aug 23:54 collapse

And like what, give him a seat in office?

Frog@lemmy.ca on 10 Aug 23:58 next collapse

He can be in charge of DOGE and legalize adding cocaine back in to sodas.

Only if he starts diddling kids, in that case they would elect him twice

I think the point was not to elect our own criminal rapists, but it’s too late if that was indeed the point.

Wild that this was ever a question

Bro Fellow meatbag look who’s in charge of our ‘muricah’s shit right now

UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca on 11 Aug 02:15 collapse

Not a bro, not an American 😅

But I get what you’re saying

My bad - I was being pithy, but shouldn’t have assumed lol

Edit: for real tho I really hope ireland doesn’t pick that guy :(

khannie@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 04:21 collapse

There’s zero chance thankfully. There’s an initial hurdle of getting on the ballot that he won’t pass (plus he’s roundly considered an idiot here).

From this page:

To be eligible for election as President, you must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. You must be nominated either by:

  • At least 20 members of the Oireachtas
  • At least 4 local authorities
  • Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves

Oireachtas means parliament.

The way you be world is going I won’t be shocked when he is president of Ireland.

khannie@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 11:49 collapse

I hear you but nah. We’re thankfully not following the rest of the world. There are slightly more bonkers people now than ten years ago but I’m hoping we’ll still be the reasonable country for a long while yet.

I’d nearly like to see him on the ballot just to damage his ego when he gets about twenty votes. He’s roundly disliked here.

lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world on 12 Aug 12:30 collapse

Yeah, really. He’s not fit to chair a bake sale committee.

tacosanonymous@mander.xyz on 11 Aug 02:08 next collapse

Is it the assaults or perhaps the fact that he doesn’t know anything or care about anyone other than himself?

BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 11 Aug 02:16 next collapse

I thought it was just the one, but apparently he’s up to 3 sexual assault cases including a rape case where he lost the case and the appeal (in civil court). Looks like at least 3 regular old assault cases too, along with some dangerous driving cases thrown in for kicks.

“Those are rookie numbers…” - Trump, probably…um…most definitely

FauxLiving@lemmy.world on 11 Aug 02:27 collapse

Sounds like he’s qualified to be President of the United States

mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca on 12 Aug 11:56 collapse

not enough sexual assault cases against him yet

All humans are animals. But some animals are not people, as Conor McGregor clearly demonstrates.

Who up lifting weights with they meat?

Guys not fit to be an MMA fighter.
