Didn't Trump promise to 'Make America Great Again'? As far as I can see all he achieved was to make America the laughing stock of the world

But who wants truth and explanations when lies and conspiracies theories are do much more fun?

I just can't understand why Americans are so hung up about being of Irish decent

It is the same in other countries where there are descendants of immigrants from generations ago.
It is nostalgia for a past which, in reality, was never was like the romanticised dream.

I do think though, that the sooner NI rejoins the south the better, for all our sakes!

So that's the Scots you want rid of and the Irish. Will you let the Welsh stay? Anyone else you'd like to get rid of, while we're at it? As well as EU nationals and asylum seekers of course...

Trumpian populist nationalism still alive and kicking.

But hopefully not for very much longer

On don't be ridiculous. Ireland is a country that should never have been dividend the first place. Divided countries are always a source of friction by their very existance, and the sooner they're reunited the better as was Germany! As for Scotland and Wales? They were both.counties in the own right, and if they wish to become so again , who are we to deny them that wish?!

Hello, just popping on to remind everyone that by all means disagree but no personal attacks please. Also, please be mindful of not posting fake news as fact. Thanks.

It would be nice to suggest no racist slurs towards the Irish but hey ho.

I wish you'd get terminology right, Lara. It's not 'fake news'; it's LIES.

'Fake news' just sanitises it...

One can live in hope

GCHQ take a leaf out of the US media, they have decided to call out the lies for what they are and zapping them.

Fake News just kind of reminds me of Trump. He is a scary,disruptive man and I don't think we've seen the last of him yet.

I wonder what the ‘fake news’ actually is on this thread?
There is none, that’s what.
A poster thought that Biden may not like the UK. Lucca said this was a silly remark.I commented to Lucca, that maybe not so silly ( to think) as some Americans with Irish Catholic roots do have a down on the UK ( which most of them think is England).I also said that hopefully Biden will not think this way.
If any of you have ever been in an Irish pub in Boston on or near St Pat’s Day then you will know how people feel there.
As that generation fade away there will possibly be less of it
( anti English rhetoric.)As I am of Irish Catholic heritage and still have relatives on both sides of the Irish Border, I do know a bit about this.
This was never meant to take over the thread btw it was just my comment to Lucca......but whitewave picked it up and ran with it.

Oh the entire thing is my fault then??????

What a silly billy you are at times lemon

Sorry to break this to you Lemon, but its not all about you.

You might want to read the comments about dead voters, Harris's political stance and Biden's state of health to see some fake news.

More emojis!
Yes WW you have been an a busy bunny on this subject, time to move on.
Where is that in this thread Algerias ??

It would be a bit daft to draw attention to fake news posts Lemon, that would just give them more credence. But I was quite interested to read page 9 of this thread.

Last night, not being able to sleep, I was gloomily thinking of the worst case scenario. Trump uses the supreme court to find enough reason for the results of the election to be anulled.
After all, the third justice of the supreme court was appointed by him, Amy Barrett..
Then a new election would be called and no postal votes allowed.
Or he drags it out to Jan. 1st, when I think it's left to his vice president to make the decision. Mike Pence. Something in their constitution.
I think it's too soon to rejoice, hopefully just my cynical mood.

who are you, really, to decide when it is time to move on?

WW is quite old enough to make her own decisions, I am quite sure.

Ah yes, Algerias I see...one post on page nine from an American poster. That’s it.

biba it was a suggestion to move on before it descends into the usual you know what.

Fennel there may have been some mistakes/ irregularities/ voter fraud ( be amazing if there wasn’t) and there were errors with the software that attributed 9,000 votes to Biden that were really for Trump in one State, but that was corrected.
Even with all the re-counts and check ups, it would be very surprising if the Biden win was overturned though, there are just too many votes to make that possible by the sounds of it.
It was close, but Biden won fair and square I am sure.

Good try at being dismissive Lemon, but not quite right. At least two posts, but maybe you don't understand what fake news really is. For instance, saying that it was a software error when it was actually clerical error.

Anyway, one post or 1,000, fake news is fake news.

Now you carry on, you have the last word, but you'll still not be right.

One post only!
The other post was simply saying what a friend had told her (that Biden didn’t like the UK)
Thanks for the last word though.?

Nope, wrong. At least two. You have missed the others completely. Nothing to do with Biden being Irish or liking the UK. That's what's interesting, so many people can't identify what's fake news and what isn't.

So, as a sensible person, I will stop talking about it now. You carry on again though. Sorry I stole your last word.

I’m going to carry on calling out any fake news posts and ones that make ridiculous comments about Biden as well. This is a public forum and fake news or lies as we should call them should be challenged. What’s happening now of course is that there is a group of posters who accept that DT was defeated ( and who may or may not be secretly sorry about that) but who now want to rubbish and undermine Biden. There are also of course those who don’t accept DT’s defeat and let’s not forget the DT supporters who have gone missing completely. Maybe there’s a news black out in Spain ?

Yes suziewoozie, I got myself tied in knots trying not to draw attention to the misleading posts, whilst highlighting the paranoia...

Go for it!

Yes , do carry on calling out fake news.....because it’s fake news all by itself that this thread carries much of it!
One post by an American poster and another short post by somebody who says ( shock horror!) that her American friend says that Biden doesn’t like the UK.
How exactly is that rubbishing or undermining Biden? By a group of posters? There is no group of posters! If this wasn’t so daft it would be funny.
That’s why I said upthread....time to move on.It’s quite ok about the last word Alegrias I expected that to happen.
