Just 51 liberals whining g and leaving? We must not be doing it right then! Let’s get that number into the 10’s of 1000’s, milliodefense.

Of course if we do however, Ireland will attack us in self defence.

How did “millions infact” get turned into “milliodefense”? Autocorrect getting dumberer every day!

I don’t want them to hang themselves - merely to head somewhere outside of western civ. like much of the middle east, asia, or africa.

THEY are the oppressors. They seek a friendlier environment to oppress.

All of those 51 should have their passports pulled and their US Citizenship yanked. They are worthless ingrates. God riddance.

I spent about aa month installing machinery near Cork.
The workers first came to America for training.
I took them out shooting, which they can't really do in Ireland, and we were buddies for life.
Note to self, Never again try to keep up while drinking with Irish.

I don’t see how introducing a mad cow to the herd helps...

I hope they all will be required to clean toilets, mow the lawns, bring the chips and salsa, clean motel rooms and sleep in the barn.

It’s more likely covid, remote working and aftermath. People whom have grandparents from Ireland can apply for a dual citizenship. Most people didn’t know the option existed.

“However, an American citizen — like any other applicant — would have to prove they came here to escape harm and demonstrate a well-founded fear for their safety if they returned.” …

The exact number of people who fit that description is ZERO. However, there are MILLIONS of illegal aliens in the U.S. who would like a better place to go than their home counntries.

Rosie O'Donnell for example. Hope she says in Ireland permanently and renounces her American citizenship:

“”There has been a steep rise in the number of citizens of the US seeking asylum in Ireland.

Fifty-one people from the US applied for international protection in the first half of this year, more than in 2023 and 2024 combined.””

Gee, it would be nice if Trump could work a deal with Higgins to take in a lot more of these “seekers” with a no-come-backs clause in the agreement. As long as they stay there, it would be wonderful. And there’s a lot of Americans, myself included, that would volunteer to help them pack.

Celebrities leaving the US for places like Ireland because they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, will find that things in other countries aren’t as rosy as they expect. Their lavish Hollywood lifestyles do not fit with places like Ireland and even with their wealth things they take for granted in the US like relatively cheap and reliable energy, convenient airports for their private jets and world class shopping aren’t the norm in places like Ireland. They also lack the sycophant media that gives celebrities undue praise and a platform for their unhinged rants. I expect Rosie O’Donnel will not be a permanent Irish resident.
