I don’t know much about MMA or Ireland and I could have told you that.

He can be in charge of DOGE and legalize adding cocaine back in to sodas.

Is it the assaults or perhaps the fact that he doesn’t know anything or care about anyone other than himself?

Sounds like he's qualified to be President of the United States

I thought it was just the one, but apparently he's up to 3 sexual assault cases including a rape case where he lost the case and the appeal (in civil court). Looks like at least 3 regular old assault cases too, along with some dangerous driving cases thrown in for kicks.

There's zero chance thankfully. There's an initial hurdle of getting on the ballot that he won't pass (plus he's roundly considered an idiot here).

From this page:

To be eligible for election as President, you must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. You must be nominated either by:

  • At least 20 members of the Oireachtas
  • At least 4 local authorities
  • Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves

Oireachtas means parliament.

The way you be world is going I won't be shocked when he is president of Ireland.

I hear you but nah. We're thankfully not following the rest of the world. There are slightly more bonkers people now than ten years ago but I'm hoping we'll still be the reasonable country for a long while yet.

I'd nearly like to see him on the ballot just to damage his ego when he gets about twenty votes. He's roundly disliked here.
