President Joe Biden is set to host Ireland’s prime minister on Friday, after the COVID-19 pandemic scuttled the longstanding St. Patrick’s Day meetup two years in a row.

Leo Varadkar, known as the taoiseach, and his partner, Matthew Barrett, will attend a breakfast with Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff. Then they will head to the U.S. Capitol for a lunch with congressional leaders and Biden before the two leaders convene. […]

Biden, who often speaks of his Irish heritage and is fond of quoting Irish poets, declared March Irish-American heritage month. The White House is even dyeing the South Lawn fountain green. According to the Census Bureau, roughly 31.5 million U.S. residents claim Irish heritage, second only to German. …

The meeting with one of the top U.S. allies comes after Biden said he plans to visit both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland this year, the 25^th anniversary of the U.S.-brokered Good Friday accord, which helped end sectarian violence that had raged for three decades over the issue of Northern Ireland unifying with Ireland or remaining part of the United Kingdom.

...if you want to rile your Irish friends.

Doesn’t Biden think St Patrick’s day is racist?

Wasn't it St. Patrick’s drove biden's ancestors out of Ireland?

"Ah, faith and Begora! Yes I remember when CornPop and I went to Ireland and fought the Black and Tans during the War of Independence. Éamon de Valera wanted to give CornPop and me the 'Military Medal for Gallantry with Honour' for our actions against the British. In all modesty, I had to refuse. CornPop accepted, however. Saints preserve us! I remember it well!"

Ireland sent over a couple of twinks to take the curse off.

No way. St Patrick was a good friend of the Bidens growing up.

“You know… i was with StPatrick when he was chasing the snakes out of Ireland, no joke”.

[laplata]

Biden will most likely “feck” up the ceremony and insult the Irish..

[jacknhoo]

Bunch of friggin’ pickle-smoochers.

I wonder what lie and fabrications he will come up with today about his life and exploits? Maybe that he was once a leprechaun and that is where that pot o’ gold came from in his family bank accounts , not China?

He fought for Irish independence in his Scranton Irish neighborhood.

“Not joking.”

[dforest]

Likely, we know this visit will most certainly call for a great big Joe Biden tall tale.

Was Biden there, at the ordination of St Patrick?

Not sure; but wasn’t that Brian Wiliams in his little altar boy garb holding the incense pot?

That’s certainly possible. I hear Williams has been there for numerous high profile events. 😆🤗

It’s even worse than that; he was on the ship that King Niall of the Nine Hostages dispatched to capture and enslave Patrick.

Irish nationalism is an anomaly. While left wing nationalism is supposed to be "civic" and not ethnic, Irish Republicanism is pretty darned ethnic and has been for centuries. Hence their promotion of Gaelic. Yet as contemporary Commies they advocate filling Ireland with third worlders. The Anglo-Saxon defiles the sacred soil with a single foot but all the third worlders in the world can be imported and the self-proclaimed heirs of Padraig Pearse will support it.

They're also extremely anti-American and advocate open borders for the US but are conveniently on an island.

[Olog-hai]

Not all Irish are like that by far. The groupthink does emanate from the Pale, though.

Joe Biden theme song:

“I was born about ten thousand years ago
In Bellmullet in the County of Mayo
It was me that chased the vermin, while St. Patrick preached the sermon
And I’ll whoop the man that says it isn’t so

Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-lee
There is no one who can tell a lie like me
You can search until you tire, you won’t find a bigger liar
I’ve been lying since the dawn of history…”
