Endorsed by Elon and Andrew Tate! He is, in his own words: “the only logical choice”.
What could possibly go wrong having a narcissistic hyper aggressive idiot that wants to dissolve parliament in charge?

I know nothing about Ireland politics. But is it me that’s jaded or this looks like puppet president?
President is a largely ceremonial role, the Taoiseach is the head of government and the decision making position.
Well, he certainly would be whether he realised it or not - if by that you mean easily manipulated by outside interests (like musk and god knows who else)
I think Musk is another puppet when it comes to X (SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink not necessarily IMO). It’s interesting how the message of both is “I’ll make world easier by reducing number of people and processes”. And it seems such language gets following
Yeah, they’re all the same. Musk, Trump, crypto, religion, AI - they all offer a simple, easy solution to all problems. It’s false hope, but it’s reassuring and we’re all susceptible to it given the chaos of existence.
Reality is complicated, politics is complicated, running countries is complicated, and no one has all the answers. We have to work on those together. No one person is going to solve all the problems we have, and these cunts absolutely don’t give a fuck about you or me or the ‘working man’.
It works because it’s such an easy sell and it’s easy to fall for it. I have before too. But being good at battering people and choking them out does not by default translate into being able to run a country (maybe thousands of years ago hah).
Thats the other aspect to these things. We tend to mistakenly assume that because a person is good at one thing, they’re automatically going to be good at everything. People like Musk and McGregor are also very good at selling this, because they’re generally talking to people who also have a limited understanding of the topic.
I honestly think if we though local civics and critical thinking on a global scale you’d massively reduce this kind of problem, but who knows.
Please stop. No more celebrities in power.
He must have taken one too many blows to the head.
Seems like a good reason to put him in charge to me.
He could do with a few more.
I wonder what policies he will have.
Well they’ve had a kind, down-to-earth president for a while. Time to bring in an absolute shithead for a change.
