It doesn't make him entitled to an Irish passport though. He's no more an Irishman than I'm a Dutchman. And I don't have any Dutch relatives.

Now if only they had not been so obsessed by Trump's "exaggerations" of his Inauguration crowd, it wouldn't be quite so insulting to intelligent people. And, by the way, one can only laugh at what the click bait headline would have been if Trump had congratulated his actual real kinfolk, the Germans, on their victory over the "All Blacks" Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And he's your Leader of The Free World "I played rugby but thank God I didn’t play against these guys,” Biden said, before telling the flanker Jerome Kaino he “played rugby for one year when I was in law school”, as a full-back. The White House has not confirmed where and when Biden played rugby. It did not respond to a Guardian request for comment sent on Saturday night. Earlier this year, however, Zach Levek of the Syracuse Rugby Alumni Association told the Rugby Network that though Biden graduated from law school at the New York university in 1968, a year before its rugby club was founded". old joe is a bizzare combination of casper milquetoast, Walter Mitty, and Forrest Gump. As Corn Pop, the black gangleader tamer?, or arrested trying to visit Mandela in South Africa?, graduated in top half of his class in law school?, or playing Rugby for a year in college?, you name it, old joe will be it. Got his start in a black college?, Attended Delaware State?. His ancestors…worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours? In truth that was Neil Kinnock's family history, who's speech old joe plagiarized, and which cost him his 1988 Presidential run. But he comes by his plagiarism honestly. "Biden had also been caught plagiarizing during law school. He “borrowed” an entire five pages from a published law review article without attribution and had to beg not to be expelled" - The Hill. He had to do the course all over again. Lol "Delaware State University has denied that Joe Biden has ever been a student there — after the presidential candidate’s claim that he “got started” at the historically black college. The 77-year-old Democrat made his claim while praising historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) during a town hall event last October before the South Carolina Democratic primary, video shows. “I got started out of a HBCU, Delaware State,” he told pupils at Wilson High School in Florence, which was founded in 1866 by the Freedmen’s Bureau for black children seeking an education. “Now, I don’t want to hear anything negative about Delaware State.

He singlehandedly took on CornPop a black gang leader, and his three henchmen, who were weilding "rusty razors", out back in the pool parking lot. And only armed with a six foot length of chain. Doubtless he has Irish blood in him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
