I don’t care for either of them but this always makes me laugh. There’s no-one more Irish than an American paddy is there. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 None of Obama (anti British) Biden (anti British) or Trump (isolationist) are good for the British international interest, especially with trade as we have left the EU. Having said that, the last pro-UK leader pulled us into the Iraq war so maybe the positives outweigh the negatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that when i put my name in its most prevalent in Lancashire. Also more Americans are related to the Scots than Irish but the Irish vote is huge in America. A few years ago someone did the maths and there have not been anywhere near enough Irish immigrants to have had enough descendants to match the number of so called Irish americans that claim to be so today.

GingerCat Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Apparently he has some sweeping gun reforms on the cards, banning semi auto rifles and buying them back or forced registration of the guns and magazines with $200 tax per item. Presumably so only the rich or criminal can posses them. Bet that popular with the nra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) You only have to look at the names to see the heritage. Tickles me when they say things like I'm a quarter Cherokee quarter Irish American quarter Swedish and quarter Italian. Is that something to be proud of 😳 Go back far enough were all mixed to some degree. Edited November 7, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, judging by his surname, his family's time in Ireland is just as likely to be as uninvited and unwanted British immigrants.

Your rich old electorate have all the time in the world, if you are poor and work shifts and have child care responsibilities it is harder to queue up for two hours. Especially during a pandemic. It’s literally in and out. The poles are where open for the whole months of October. I work two jobs and I’m a full time student with a child.

Is that something to be proud of 😳 Go back far enough were all mixed to some degree. Not sure how much but my grandma had a house on the Cherokee reservation. I was always told we were Qualla but genetically we show up the same as cherokee but the qualla where on the other side of the mountain. But the qualla never signed treaty with the government so they never got a reservation or recognized as a civilized tribe. So for the sake of the check we where cherokee. 😂 when grandma got to old to live on the reservation she offered the cabin to us.( I could take over the lease as it was directly passed to me even though I don’t have the 25% blood.)But after spending my childhood on the reservation I came to the conclusion that I am white and don’t want anything to do with the tribe. My grandparents where dark, my dad was a little dark but other then my deep set eyes I’m pretty white. Hey it’s 2020 if a man can be a woman then I can be 100% white.

I agree, I know a guy (a real lady’s man) who has African, Jewish, Chinese and British heritage - if you looked at him you can see he’s tanned but my skin is darker than his during the summer. He just identifies as black to simplify things rather than need to justify or explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
