And St Patrick was a Brit (Roman) who was captured by Irish slave traders as a boy, escaped after years as working as a slave, became a priest and went back to Ireland, to the very same people that enslaved him, to bring the good news and to lift them out of darkness.

The bowl is for brass balls.

I don’t like what Melania is wearing but she would look good wearing a burlap bag.

The Irish tradition is if you do not wear green on St Patrick’s day, you get a pinch. Imagine of Melania didn’t wear green? My nippers would be reaching out to get her—something I’m sure the Secret Service wishes they could do.

Lol I think you’re right.

That’s another reason they hate Trump. They have Hitlery, Michael/Michelle, Mad Maxine, Bat Crap Crazy Pelosi and all the rest of the Uglies and DJT has a hot, intelligent and very classy wife.

Ain’t dat nice— an Irish Shamrock crystal bowl from the Irish Indian, queer physician Prime Minister Varadkar. How notably idiotic to try and link a true Irish tradition from a completely out of any tradition foreigner queer. Ireland is surely one oddball place. Course this clown is part of the leftist Fine Gael party.

Well the thing looks like a Chia Pet more than anything else to me, quite honestly.

"The Prez looks like he is passing wind."

LOL! OAC's Green New Deal would make it a federal offense to discharge a full round of CO2 to the atmosphere.

On a lighter side, a Irish bartender is asked, “What is the difference between a pub and an elephant passing gas in a cave?

The bartender answered, "One is a barroom…the other is a barROOM!!!”

We can’t choose who gets to run another country.

Ah, there’s where you’re wrong me boy-O. We can get rid of the Christopher Steeles of MI-6, and we can empower the people who actually PAY the bills in Ireland— the Country of Ireland, which is a Catholic country.

No, under obamaumao and the leftist commie jesuit Pope Francis—they are the ones who allowed this freak LGBT show to go on. People— the real people of Ireland... are Celts. This clown PM is Fine Gael. Check out their politics— yes— there is something we could do, and have done many times to change who runs a country with strong connections to our own Founding, who also have very strong business connections to the US (the special taxing district the Irish created for our companies to offshore- like it or not, saved billions for them— to repatriate the funds now under Trump).

Usually agree with you on much. But not this. And btw we ARE changing who is going to run Venezuela— because the Russians and the Chi-coms are not going to— not in our backyard, and not with Brazil as a new “South American NATO” partner= today’s Trump press conference with Brazil’s Pres.
