Conor McGregor Megathread *Mod Warning in OP Updated 20th April*

This clown in the White House claiming to represent the Irish people..

Absolutely cringe watching him talk with his fake accent, incoherently, twitching.

A national embarrassment.

Was his rape trial mentioned? That should be called out at every public event he's at for the rest of his life. That's what defines him now.

He randomly said the word "exam" and then got distracted....

He will get the idiot vote and followers vote which is pretty much the same thing. I could see him getting 10 percent or so in a 4 or 5 horse race.

I'd imagine if he did run, there would be scandal after scandal appearing to the point that it would be a farce.

You've just proved my point, calling people who vote differently, idiots, is the same thing the Democrats did.

Calling voting for a coked out of his head rapist "an idiot vote" is a pretty mild descriptor.. I'd also suspect most Irish people would agree with that sentiment.

Considering a large portion of the country seems to be coked up every weekend, don't think it's the enough to put people off the man. Equally, he wasn't found criminally guilty in a court of law. It was a civil case, which he is appealing.

The big fear with McGregor for me currently is that he is a distraction, and means our politicians are asked about him, and not their failings or other issues in the country.

Most of the country aren't rapists... Most people have concluded that he's very much so guilty of it. It's also not the first incident of him being accused of rape, in the other cases they were intimidated out of pursuing a case...

Play the post, not the player. I can't stand McGregor, never liked him even when he was doing well and everyone thought the sun shone out his backside. But I also appreciate people have different views, and I wouldn't call them idiots because of that.

If you hate him then why play down the fact that he is a rapist? By stating that he wasn't found guilty in a criminal trial and that he is appealing the fact that he was found liable for sexual assaulting a woman, you are very much down playing the fact that he is a rapist.

Anyone with any sense would be an idiot to vote for someone who was proven to have raped a woman.

He won't be nominated so no one will have the chance to vote for the scumbag.

It may have been AI generated content I spotted the other day but it was Joe Rogan criticising McGregor. Rogan/AI making the point that getting punched in the head a thousand times a year isn’t normal, ‘is it any wonder so many fighters turn to drugs?’

Wondering now if opting for a jury trial originally was a tactic too? It gives him a reason for an appeal which you may not have if he hadn’t gone for a jury trial. The outcome will ultimately be the same but it allows him to drag it out and cast doubt on the verdict for longer.

Real kick in the teeth for us that he was in the Oval Office yesterday while our politicians had to turn up a week early. But I suppose we have to adjust to the old norms being completely gone sooner rather than later

McGregor asked some questions and started shittin on about metrics, the only "metrics" he understands is 1 gram or 2 gram of cocaine up his nose…!

And he employs 200 people the Taoiseach employs none apparently, other than the 300,000 he as the Government of Ireland employs I suppose…
