  1. Wanting to learn basic things about how politics works is an excellent reason to run for the presidency, especially if you have lots of money and free time and are bored of drugs for some reason.

  2. I do believe there are is an abundant amount of people who would vote for Conor McGregor in an election however, I imagine common sense would prevail and he would finish with less votes than oh, let’s say.. Dustin the Turkey

  3. Given that he’s lived here all of his life, why does he sound like a fucking Martian trying to pass himself of as an Irishman?

    He has a very odd way of expressing his thoughts.

    I get the impression he’s bluffing and was caught on the hop when asked about East Wall. I don’t think he has a clue what the protests are about.

    Though Higgins will be thrilled to hear he has McGregor’s backing for a third term in office…

  4. So Varadkar should be in hiding..

    But he himself flattening an elderly man in a Dublin pub for not wanting his whiskey didn’t make him go into hiding?

    Along with the multitude of other shite he’s done.

    Pot. Kettle. Ape.
    Can we not sell him off to England?

  5. He’ll lose interest when he finds out the President can’t even demand a meeting with a minister, much less get answers out of them.

  6. I’d prefer a presidential candidate who knew how long our presidential terms are.

    Or does he think he’s so special they’d cut it down to four years for him?

  7. Did he forget Ireland is a parliamentary republic ? The president has practically no political power.

  8. Here ya go Higgins – have some delicious whiskey I made in me bath. Don’t want it? Well, here’s a big auld sucker punch for ya.

    McGregor would be great if Ireland got into it with Russia. Him and Putin have the same bully energy and runaway ego. They could have at it in the octogon. Who would win? I don’t know but know this: who else?

  9. “And in other news, Irish president, Conor McGregor, said today that…”

    Nope. That won’t be happening. He thinks he’d get sufficient votes, bless him. Imagine his answers to questions when appearing alongside other candidates to be questioned on his potential presidency.

    Talking out of his áras.

  10. Fuck me! This from TMZ Sports:

    >Conor is undoubtedly one of the most Irish men alive — in fact, there was a movement to honor McGregor last year by putting his face on official Irish money.

    No wonder he’s got the chutzpah to think he can run for presdent, when you have rags like that, saying shit like this.

  11. Conor should stick to making a fortune with gimmick fights. Mattress Mick Hell in the Cell 2023. There is a lot of cabbages in this country falling for the right-wing populist stuff but he’d never get anywhere near enough votes.
