The Irish are as far from mean spirited as you can get on earth. We're also known for not taking schit or backing down, though. A guy who habitually does not pay his contractors would not last long there. It's a small country.

Isn't there a golf club/hotel there? I suspect he paid those contractors.

I find the fascination with making up scenarios about Trump that didn't happen to be fascinating.

Shhhh... let his TDS hang out for all to see.


What a sad way going through life, with Trump in your head 24/7.


I am sitting here thinking, man, I bet that guy is a riot to have a pint with.

Then I scroll down and see the TDS in full effect.

Are you under the impression that he actually owns all of those golf resorts around the world?

He's a branding dude...he licenses his name, which is worth less and less everyday.

But it did happen, hundreds of times according to court records in NY and other places. It's hard to avoid the similarities.

If that's your fantasy, what you need to believe in order to feel ok about yourself, I say roll w it. I'd imagine my life is happier than yours but it's just a guess. Having that scumbag in office doesn't affect my day to day happiness one bit.

Not a fantasy, an observation. you watch this and think Trump, I watch this and think beer. Therefore I am happier than you.

Well then, I head to Liverpool and grab a pint, I would prefer Ireland. though.

Maybe he can meet me in Ireland.

Dude, are you under the impression you’re right about that?

Well guess again.

Hope someone finds a cure for TDS. I thought the bitter pill from mueller would do it, apparently not.

The coppers were a little late. Imagine if that happened in the US. The driver would have been taken out by SWAT.

Might depend on the part of the U.S.

Not every city even has a SWAT team.

Most of what police get to do in the U.S. is file paperwork.

Some brave guys to be yankin' within the engine cover of that machine while its moving.

When any of you were watching that, did your brain start adding the Benny Hill music?

I was more concerned for people's safety than much else.

I would also disagree with the title of the video, damaged would be a better word than destroyed.

Or perhaps wrecks lobby.

Misleading title, the hotel was still standing.
