The best thing the U.S. can do is concentrate on winning the 3 special elections coming up & taking back the House. If Dems can do that, they can elect a new Speaker. Then, she's 3rd in line of succession to the Presidency. Just sayin'.

We also need to insist on hand recount audits if we don't win.

US, British, German, Turkish and Irish that we know of. How can he get away with this?

Exactly this Ireland. Show us how it’s done.

I hope the wonderful citizens of Ireland will put a stop to this!

The “interfering” is organised and a threat to democracy everywhere.

Conor McGregor is also a convicted rapist…

😒🤮

It’s no surprise that Musk and Trump admire him…

🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Musk, the immigrant

cindymichels.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Irish fecking hate him 👍

miak06.bsky.social•3 days ago

Appreciate am stating the obvious but can he well & truly just hush up

U want to live by the principle of ‘making America great again’, then focus on wreaking havoc there

No one outside of the US, unless u are a rioter, criminal, abuser, rapist, pedophile etc, likes him or cares about him.

Elon is interfering in a number of political spheres.

tsharrarahl.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m just saying, you don’t want to fuck with the Irish.

jondcblack7.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hail Mary mother of Christ. Religion always comes before politics

spanglish51.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well there’s a surprise … 🙄

jonjonvonbonjon.bsky.social•3 days ago

He stole the election here too.

wizardsnuggles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Evil Elmo has also got his filthy fingers in South Africa, Argentina, Spain, and Turkey, too.

spck111.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ireland can’t stand Mcagregor. He’s in for a shock if he runs.

dualraconteur.bsky.social•3 days ago

Let’s hope we aren’t in for a shock. Him being president seems on par with current world affairs

mickeya.bsky.social•3 days ago

That McGregor seems like a right c***.

wizardsnuggles.bsky.social•3 days ago

You're not wrong.

mudwiggler.bsky.social•3 days ago

A violent meathead who wears clothes two sizes too small.

You forgot cocaine addicted

mudwiggler.bsky.social•2 days ago

That I didn't know, however I'm not surprised😑

burnturtle.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thankfully, the Irish are not that stupid. He has absolutely no chance to become president.

pughkhee.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ve never known a man who pushed the manly thing so hard.

bobsyouruncle.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ban it

davehaterofracism.bsky.social•3 days ago

why has the EU not blocked twitter yet?

I understand spineless Starmer wont do that but I thought the EU had more spine.

sitebadger.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ah I was expecting this to happen. Moscow Musky will have a list of nasties to place into prominent positions both politically and socially then use $$ and pressure to put them in place. Ably abetted by his (and Putin’s) pet TЯump.

pwrussell.bsky.social•3 days ago

Honestly, they should just switch off X until the election is over. Or, even better, for good.

'accused of' is meaningless, 'jailed for' would be good.

droughty.bsky.social•3 days ago

And this guy wonders why he’s the most disliked person on this planet. Can we shoot him off to Mars now, please.

diplockcourts.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's looking to destroy Western society. He has distain for anything that helps, encourages, or improves the lives of ordinary people. By the way, Katie Taylor is Irelands champion fighter... Mcgreggor is just gutter trash.

gaylekate.bsky.social•3 days ago

He can't help himself and it will end badly: he's making him a target in pretty much every country he has anything to do with.

scoony.bsky.social•3 days ago

Elon is always siding with rapists...

wobblybob68.bsky.social•3 days ago

Irish citizens can’t be sent to El Salvador internment camps.Just saying.

When you have billions, they let you.

Csucker gotta go

ajlnflk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Would that be the Conor McGregor who is currently a resident immigrant in the U.S.?

snowdrifter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thankfully,He won't even get on the ballot. Stringent rules apply for Irish Presidency. He'll have his usual clowns shouting but he's wasting his time/money.
