And seeing them criticize trump makes me wonder what the political landscape in Ireland's like. Especially that one dude saying people there still love biden and is popular there.
There's a pretty bad housing and cost of living crisis over there. At least according to a guy making six figures I knew
This is an 82 year old woman who's been a congresswoman for 34 years doing this.
House passes $1.9 billion Capitol security measure creating permanent National Guard forceBesides intensifying police repression and government surveillance, DHS outlined on Wednesday its plan to use grants to fund private, unaccountable organizations that specialize in experimenting on “extremists,” psychological operations and brainwashing, and training teachers to spot and report children engaging in “hate speech.”
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a 77-year-old woman with purple hair, led the House Appropriations Committee discussion on combating “domestic violent extremism” with DHS’ two counter-terrorism department leaders, John Cohen and John Picarelli. Rep. DeLauro is the wife of former Ehud Barak advisor, Stan Greenberg
Much of the discourse revolved around the frustration officials are having shutting down supposed “extremists” due to the fact that these individuals they claim are posing a national security risk are often not committing any criminal offenses. Rep. DeLauro frantically ranted about the need for legislation that would make membership in a patriotic militia of any kind illegal.

Here's a local article about her:
Here's a video from a couple months ago with her melting down about Elon Musk:
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro is the dean of Connecticut's congressional delegation and one of the most colorful members of Congress — in ways both literal and figurative.
Here are five things to know about the long-serving Democratic congresswoman.
She's Connecticut's longest-tenured House member ... ever
DeLauro was first elected to Congress in 1991 and has served Connecticut's 3rd district, including New Haven and the surrounding towns, since then.
That makes her not only the longest serving of Connecticut's current House members but also the longest serving in the state's history. Including all congressional representatives, she trails only Chris Dodd, who split 36 years between the House and Senate.
How much longer will DeLauro remain in Congress? Well she's running for reelection this year and is overwhelmingly favored to win, so she won't likely be going away anytime soon.
She's the top Democrat on the powerful Appropriations Committee
DeLauro is no back-bencher. When Democrats controlled the House during the previous Congress, she chaired the Appropriations Committee, making her one of the nation's most powerful and influential lawmakers.
Today, she remains the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, as well as the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee, which directs funding to key areas.
She is known for liberal positions
DeLauro has often been the most progressive member of Connecticut's delegation (and one of the more progressive members of Congress) on both fiscal and social issues, including tax policy, health care, abortion and gun violence.
She has long been a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and is currently the only Connecticut representative part of the group.
Still, DeLauro has earned praise from more centrist lawmakers for her openness to compromise, particularly as head of the Appropriations Committee. In 2021, Politico reported she was running the committee "from the middle" in an attempt to reach broad consensus.
She's a leader on children's issues, including the child tax credit
DeLauro has long been particularly passionate about issues affecting children and families.
For years, she pushed an expansion of the child tax credit as a way to drastically reduce child poverty, and when the measure finally passed on a temporary basis as part of President Biden's American Rescue Plan, poor families saw enormous benefit.
Since the expanded child tax credit expired in 2022, DeLauro has pushed to reinstate it, arguing that it "provided unprecedented economic security for America’s middle- and working-class families."
Her personal style is proudly different
Beyond her policy achievements, DeLauro sometimes attracts attention for her personal style, including her purple hair and colorful clothing.
Asked in 2018 why she styles her hair with purple streaks, DeLauro said simply: "I wanted to do it, I love it and it’s fun."
Spurred by her granddaughter, DeLauro got her first tattoo last summer, a large crest on her upper arm that includes a rose, the letter "D" and an image of Italy. And she hasn't ruled out getting more.
Only one of these contained an Irish person that was identifiable one of them was a nigger.
i see you, Fräulein.
Cringy half spic potato bastards too brown to fit in with the Irish too Irish to fit in with other brownoids, twice as lazy and drunk.
Twitter is hardly a good representation but why is every irishman I see on the internet a massive lefty fag.
I think you quoted the wrong post there. Is the below what you were replying to?
yeah, my bad, i clicked the wrong one by mistake.
you're right, but you're forgetting there was a 4 year span between 2008 and 2012.
Canada is the same. I swear to god if we did a brexit style referendum, the "join the US" crowd might win. Our country is so fucked.
Thaat was part of it. I think Obama taking the brakes off of the CIA psyoping domestically was a big part, but I think (largely unrecognized) the James Damore from Google bullshit was their first successful pelt, and they haven't looked back.
Because the ones who aren’t lefty fags are off somewhere fathering a van full.
Because each one thinks they're the first to make that joke, and while they haven't started on those Marx books gathering dust yet they've seen at least 60% of Idiocracy between a few Comedy Central reruns, so you should know you're talking to a modern political philosopher.
This is good because it means we're one step closer to Trump mentioning GamerGate.
