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?

He must have taken one too many blows to the head.

He's taken many too many blows to the head. Listen to interviews with him early in his career and compare them to his interviews now. The level of brain damage he's endured is pretty obvious.

Honestly, he hasn't fought much in the last 8 years. His decline is 90% from alcohol and cocaine. His talent and work ethic was incredible during his rise, but after the Mayweather fight in 2017 he couldn't resist the Scarface lifestyle he had dreamed about. It's a sad story, not because he's a good person (he's not) but because he went from this athletic anomaly to a scared, weak, delusional has-been. Truly a literary tragedy.

Brain damage is progressive. Once it reaches a certain point, it will keep getting worse even with no further trauma.

I was such a fan of McGregor when he just started and went big. Then he crumbled all my respect that was for him when he went garbage towards Khabib.

It’s sad that fame and money goes to one’s head and they think, they’re everything.

Well they've had a kind, down-to-earth president for a while. Time to bring in an absolute shithead for a change.

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.

I wonder what policies he will have.

Everything bad or inconvenient will be DOCTOR'S STOPPAGE!!
