The Irish were never slaves in the US, that’s far right pseudohistory.

The Taoiseach, DeValera - who was a US born citizen - managed to harness the power of the Irish diaspora in the US. FDR needed the Irish American vote [despite his WASP prejudices] to be re-elected. He also needed them to support his joining WWII against US popular opinion. He wanted to force…

FDR didn’t see it that way, not least because the American minister in Dublin was less than understanding & sent back biased & unfair accounts. As a small defenceless nation with the US sabre-rattling there wasn’t any hard power that might stop FDR in his illegal annexation.

So there was little stomach to join up with the belligerent colonial power in its Great Powers warfare in Ireland. Despite this 50,000 Irish men joined up on the Allied side & the Irish Taoiseach managed to work a neutrality that benefitted the UK, more than joining the Allies would have done.

Dont think enough americans really know or are ever taught about this. The only time we hear much anything about their past is when some guys wants to incorrectly compare, "well the Irish were slaves too but you dont see US..."
The UK, supposed defender of freedom, had been at war with Ireland just 18y before & had illegally occupied the country for over 700y, wiping out some 40% of the population in the 17th C & overseeing the death by famine of 1m ppl in the 19th C, not to mention the burning of Cork in 1920!

Thinking about the Trump regime’s attempts to annex Greenland, it reminds me of when US President FDR tried to force Ireland to reject neutrality in WWII. His regime even drew up plans to invade Ireland. Ironic, given the Allies claim to be defending small independent states!

This person almost nailed it, since he was allegedly french!
Were they Italian Bus Drivers?
Cuz in Italy, it's a thing. Guy driving Naples to Rome switched with the Driver going to airport, arguing forever at first rest stop, then our driver didn't know route to EL VATICANO & exasperated Ron Reiner, "I'm from Hollywood & I know how to get to the Vatican."

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

Glad I got on here just in time for the bus thing (and especially that the bus people are safe), it was sort of like the day on Twitter that the llamas got loose, but scarier.

also a clarification based on people’s comments: the driver wouldn’t give us his name but he was apparently French (at one point a passenger even started arguing with him in French thinking he just wasn’t understanding lol)
