Those Utah boys likely had the correct visas. I was in line behind a bunch of them a couple of months ago for visas.

They were telling me that they don't have internet so had no clue what was going on in the world, they were given the most basic phones and they were only allowed to watch Disney and Star Wars dvds. I was like "cool". But I thought it was nice that they were learning Haitian Creole in additionl to Spanish because we have so many haitian refugees.

Not so much Americans (as in the US government backing the military to overthrow someone already elected in a foreign country) as the US-based Christian Right (a weird coalition)

the phrase "christian right" always brings to mind what voltaire said about the holy roman empire

Not so much Americans (as in the US government backing the military to overthrow someone already elected in a foreign country) as the US-based Christian Right (a weird coalition) that have spent their own time to knock on doors elsewhere:

Exit poll at 11.20, bizarrely on the Late Late, will be drinking heavily beforehand.

that nun thread is extraordinary
Isn’t it though? I’ve already seen “brisk turnout”, so we’re only waiting on “teatime rush” for full polling day bingo.
Btw there are so many variations of this classic today and I’m dying.
Just took my 93-year old mum to vote; she's registered blind. She asked "which box do I tick to get John Waters to fuck off to Torremolinos?" A cheer went up from waiting voters.#together4yes— Elvis M👾l👾ney (@oceanclub) May 25, 2018

I think we can probably count on the Dublin constituencies for a strong Yes, but sadly I feel Roscommon won’t be on its own this time.

The Irish Times will publish a referendum exit poll later this evening. The exit poll is being conducted by Ipsos/MRBI among 4,000 respondents at 160 polling stations in every constituency. RT?— Conor Pope (@conor_pope) May 25, 2018

On the minus (plus?) side, I’ll just have to start drinking a lot earlier.

Considering Ireland has been begging the US for handouts for years, I can't get as "Americans should butt out of Irish affairs" about these awful dead-eyed youngsters as other people might. It's just payback for all that "please invest in little Ireland, sure look, here's a cardboard cutout of President Bartlett" guff that goes on at the US gates in Dublin Airport, which makes me cringe every time I go down those escalators.
Anyway, who had "teatime surge" in the bingo? Because I think we've had that from the Irish Times now.

Trying to get fdi means we have to look the other way at almost certainly illegal behaviour from pressure groups outside the state aimed at depriving women of human rights? Huh, who knew!

Considering those antis are sending their flying monkeys to Ireland, the UK (where they’re financing interventionist foetus bullshit outside clinics) and most poisonously, to carry out ‘missionary work’ in Africa, fuck them trying to interfere while pretending to the US that they are not interventionist at all (unless they’re passing the basket in church).

If, and I stress if, those exit poll stats are true, it’s incredible.
Even Connacht-Ulster, expected to be the bulwark of the anti-repeal vote, voted in favour of the constitutional change by 59 per cent to 41 per cent, the poll finds.
Christ.
Among the youngest voters, support for the change was overwhelming – the poll finds that 87 per cent of those aged between 18-24 voted for repeal.
Unreal.
Please!
