The problem they have is that causing disruption to a Presidential event in the US will be handled a lot more robustly than here e.g. ihoping the fence of the White House could be fatal.
I’d love to see them try and shout at a US judge like they do here tbh
Or try and assault the DC PD or secret service as you say 🤣
“oh cmon it’s not a setup”
I would put money on it that it is - you have seen their videos? Yes? It will make “wonderful television”. This is right up the street of Trump and now Musk -supporters would say , they’d be fools to pass up the chance. I don’t think Musk as least can resist - whether they get into the White House remains to be seen - but if Trump can humiliate “Ireland” for supporting trans-gender-even though the Burke in question is just a bloody idiot who doesn’t know how to adhere to a court order that has nothing to do with trans—gender - he’ll do it.
The people in the White house are hardly what you would consider sane either TBF.
Except when its by people Trump like. For instance the ones who literally started an insurrection.
How "robustly" were they dealt with on the day ?
Is there a media blanket ban on the Burkes or something? The Burkes are going to America! A year ago every Irish media outlet would have been all over this.
It's in pretty much all the print media.
Indo, Examiner, Irish Times, Limerick Leader etc. etc
The Journal has it too.
Details scarce as the family have not declared their intention.

Maybe a quiet dignified peaceful protest?
no prob, if it is confirmed one way or another the burkes have been invited by or will be tolerated by the administration I will Revolut you 50 quid.
I don’t for a moment think this is anything more than another stunt thought up by Martina or the lot of them collectively. Like what would it do for trump to invite them or even musk as is suggested?
Strong arm MM into reinstating encoh, as if he even could!
Hardly be a prayer 🙏 vigil.
Watch this space.
One thing is certain, Trump better not wag the finger at the Mrs, she'll probably bite the finger off, feisty woman that she is.
Couldn't believe it when I heard it on the news. This could be good.
Do we know if Enoch himself went?
Wonder how they got pass US immugration with the list of criminal records ?
This should be great craic especially if they got to meet Trump.. Nutjobs meet nutjob.
I wonder what they have planned? I'm sure they have influencial US Christian group contacts over there which might get them high level access
I believe only Daddy has an actual criminal record.
I'd say they have influential contacts to help set things up for them
….
Trump is constantly going on about WW3- I think we’re about to see the catalyst that causes it 😀
“…the burkes have been invited by or will be tolerated by the administration I will Revolut you 50 quid”
Wonderful I’ll order my lobster for paddy’s day now - many thanks
Watch this space I'd say...they like pulling stunts...very coincidental that they're going to Washington at exactly this time.
I believe Musk was tweeting about this yesterday. There's hardly something in the works? Surely not.
Even a month ago I would have thought it too much of a warping of reality to see the Burkes turn up where you least expect them in Washington, but, the world has become so loo-lah lately that, frankly, nothing that insane would truly surprise me.
that’s a ridiculous question in fairness!
sure he has school in the morning!! 😅
Normally I'd agree fully with you but this time round, Trump appears to be going full reality TV in terms of ridiculous scenarios that are happening. So honestly I have no idea what to expect by eod tomorrow.
Whatever about the circus of Trump's office, the American Secret Service are particularly neurotic about protecting foreign leaders on their patch.
All the security team of the Irish delegation has to do, is alert their Secret Service liaison to the identities of any people they do not wish to have within an Ass's roar of their Principal, ie the Taoiseach, or events at which the Principal will be.
The Secret Service and Capitol Police will think nothing of picking up the Burkes, should they start causing trouble somewhere thereabouts, and putting them in a cell until the Taoiseach has left Washington and showing them onto the next plane home too.
And even that is minor enough to not preclude him. Might have to apply for a visa proper instead of going through the ESTA though
Burke's are traitors out to stir up right wing Americans against Ireland
I'm sure they are very supportive of Elon and his 14 kids, maybe he can try and breed the mother?
Loads of MAGA type accounts saying Burkes have been offered asylum on religious persecution.
Musk has retweeted about Burke as recent as last weekend. Musk has an axe to grind here, the WRC made that ridiculous award to the former employee, I’m not saying the employee shouldn’t have had their complaint upheld but the award? The award was the largest in WRC history when you think some of the really challenging cases before the WRC this was just showing off.
Ireland been the EU regulator for social media bringing out the Burkes to make a show of Ireland is exactly something this admin could do.
I’ve only seen Mammy and Daddy confirmed, who’s the third and why haven’t they been confirmed?
If they’re not invited they won’t get near Martin to chase him around Washington like they did to Harris in Mayo.
I don’t know, we’re in not in Kansas anymore, who knows wtf will happen.
So I googled her and found that she was an actress in some bad B movies in the early 80's :)
