    Bigoted would be a better word for it. There's a lot of hate bubbling under the surface with a significant amount of Trump supporters.

    Our favourite gombeen Michael Martin (aka Mr Burns) just called Trump a racist. That's a bad move since most Irish Americans are now Republicans. Looks like Micheál is trying to place FF 'left of the Shinners'!

    A dubious claim. Can you back that up? How do you define Irish Americans by the way?

    Sorry for digging up my own old thread but i see that Chelsea Manning is running for US Senate in Maryland.

    She will obviously have to get through the Dem primary against the incumbent Ben Cardin first.

    But what will be interesting is how the Democrat party and the top brass react to her and how much support she will get from the Democrat establishment both in MD and nationally.

    As a transgender person who has been to jail for spying and who most recent Twitter activity included a tweet "f**k the police" (my editing not hers) she can surely only appeal to a tiny but vocal minority of the Democratic party.

    So it will be interesting to see of they double down on identity politics or try to get back to appeal to the larger demographic.

    Brave of her to run in one way, in allot of American minds she is a traitor and running for public office in America is a dog eat dog world.

    Any and all skeletons in closets will be found.
