A Political Thread pt. 2

I didn't even know he went there until the rob kearney thing. National politics are so boring now they just get overshadowed by the batshit stuff at local level.

Isn't Biden as much English as Irish anyway?
That must really sting him

Come on now, no need for that. The man is "home" now. Let him live out his days in his homeland in peace.

My mom was raised being told she was Irish. She did 23and me and she's as English as my England eligible dad.

"Your father's not a bad man, he's just English" - Joe's maternal granny

Joe calls himself an Irish Catholic, a lot more catholic than Irish but if the most powerful man in the west wants to claim his heritage here, you let him do it.

the most powerful man in the west

He doesn't look that powerful, I reckon a packet of flamin' hot monster munch would take him out tbh

 

[McTallshort]

He's proper milking the plastic paddy thing

I've actually seen him force Ellis Genge into the jacks, give him a swirley and take his lunch money.

Lies, Genge doesn't have money, he forages in the fields for his food.

Knowle West doesn't have fields, they just bite chunks off of passing cars.

Very painful to watch but very funny since you know tories BUT when you put this with the pretty disrespectful no look handshake he did with the South Korean president. It's a pretty bad light potentially.

granted you look throughout the years He's done plenty iffy still

Somehow still better than the alternative

I dunno. All I see is him shaking his hand then talks to some army dude then puts his arm around Sunak. Would hardly say that was painful to watch.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

lol of course a Kennedy is there. I don't mind this interaction with sunak but the yoon handshake was bad.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Does Sunak expect a warm embrace? Biden doesn't really align with any brand of Tory, let alone Sunak's.

I mean when you look at this voting history that isn't exactly true.

 

[Welsh Exile]

The left right political spectrum in America is different than Europe. Most Democrats, if you put them in European political parties, would be pretty Tory. Including Biden.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Don't agree with that anymore.
Think most young democrats are more or at least just as progressive as their European counterparts, it's just the older generation

Of which Biden is very much a member of.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Also this generation of tories seem further right than the few before. I think sunak wants to project himself as a Biden type democrat but his few months in charge say otherwise.

Democrats in the US are such a wide tent party it's really hard to pin down what any one individual actually believes. A few shared policies and meta goals but it's all over the place.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What's that old saying? Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by a career politician's long history of racist gaffs

Biden would absolutely be a Tory
