Irish Prime Minister and his male partner meet US VP Pence

Mother Pence notably absent

(Article says the woman is Pence's sister)

Mark is cute. Leo is the son of Indian immigrants.

"Boys, you know that I only need Mother Pence around when I'm in a room with other women. Catch my drift?"

Lucky for him. Mother Pence was comatose on Senatrice Graham's fainting couch most of the day.

His sister???? Well, I think we've found out who is the Huckabeast's make up and fashion advisor

I know, R5. I usually don't comment on people's appearances because, I mean, look at me. But, a dress made out of toilet paper? Hair like a ratty Korean wig. It's all so awful but expected.

Did Mike Pence shooed the sister out of the room and fell on his knees to please his special guests?

Mother Pence is reputedly in Abu Dhabi to attend the Special Olympics.

Varadkar is a capitalist cunt

Damn, his sister really makes Mother Pence look like a supermodel, by comparison.

I'll have you know what designed by a famous designer, who also did celebrity wedding dresses!

If anything, he's a capitalist cock.

In Ireland cunt is mostly used as a descriptor for men and objects and I love them for it.

I beseech the Taoiseach.

[quote] Mother Pence is reputedly in Abu Dhabi to attend the Special Olympics.

In which event is she competing?

That's a green carnation in Pence's lapel, isn't it? Is he trying to tell us something?

Bravo and W/W, r15!

It’s Shamrock for Saint Patrick’s Day.

Mike Pence, captivated.

Mother Pence probably cried like a baby the night before and told Mike she just couldn't bring herself to dine with two queers who would probably give her the AIDS.

And gawd damn that sister of Pence's is one ugly broad.

Mike Pence, intrigued.

His sister eh? Does the carpet match the drapes?

I wonder if Varadkar & Barrett stayed at Blair House while they were in Washington. I hope they left some Santorum on the sheets as a parting gift.

R14 I think it's pronounced closer to " Tea Shaw"

It’s pronounced Tea-Shock

Depends on the dialect of Irish. It can be tea-shock/shaw/shig depending. Shock is the most common

The Pence is captivated, amazed at meeting the Tea Sock and bf: he can't believe this is happening TO HIM.

Fun fact: they are both of irish descent!

Do the Tea Shock and the Aaron Schock know each other?

Do you think Mike Pence coming out of the closet could save Trump's presidency?

Cannot wait until this turd and his turd boss are out of the White House and we never, ever hear of him again. People in the future will be shocked to hear this homophobic abomination was VP in this day and age.

Varadkar is such a cipher. He came to prominence by professing extreme right-wing views (including stoking immigration fears). Any way the wind blows, that's Leo.

The Irish just voted in abortion too, I can’t imagine what Pence said to them.

He should turn in his gay card. That shade of green (tie) doesn't go with the blue suit.

Shock and Eire.

Sure, they let them in the house, but I bet they didn’t let them use the toilet.

I think Sister Pence is an improvement upon Mother Pence.

R37 I think you need to make an emergency appointment with your eye doctor.

Mother must really hate the gays. She’s conspicuous in her absence.

Why does Pence's sister have such a wide stance?

R40, from peeing that way in stalls.

R40 I figure to balance that horrible hair.

Has Anne Pence always been a woman?

Margaret White has packed on some pounds.

I think I just voted like half the posts in here for Wit and Wisdom

- Mother Pence is reportedly in Abu Dhabi to attend the Special Olympics -

Is she competing?

R46, are you also R15?

[R46] here: I didn’t realize my reaction was a duplicate.

Though, considering the versatility of her size, I suppose Mother Pence could compete in more than one event.

Do they use sandbags for things?

Her stance is because she has a bigger penis than the man she standing around in the picture

What the flying fuck is she wearing?

Where the hell is Mother? Mike looks lost without her.

R43, I’m with you. Sister Pence looks like she was once Brother Pence on her original birth certificate.

Why did Mike Pence bring sister Pence instead of Mother? What a cunt.

OMG I am going to

1) Frame this 2) Use it as my Twitter banner

Miss Pence is a-rubbin' all up against hot Mattie! And who can blame her?

I didn't realize Pence is a pocket gay.

Did his ancestors make cookies in trees?

* Trump slaughters the pronunciation of Taoiseach then asks Melania for pronunciation confirmation. The dumb broad approves his mispronunciation.

* NOBODY in the room claps for Matt Barrett when he's introduced. Bigoted fuckwads.

* Trump is slurring again; he must've needed an extra dosage of downers for this event.

* I LOVE the Taoiseach and his partner! It must've been like Daniel in the lion's den. Poor buachaillí.

Sister Pence is not by any chance the screamingly gay Pence nephew, is she? I forget his last name.

Should have been "... the screamingly gay Pence nephew"

!!! The MOTHER OF THE screamingly gay Pence nephew. (DL doesn't want me to print the whole phrase for some reason.)

The PM’s boyfriend sure looks young, just saying.

I’m sure Mother Pence has a morality clause in her contract with that homophobic school she’s working at, so she probably isn’t allowed to be seen in public with...SODOMITES!

Partner is a Doctor, can’t be that young but I’m not he’s younger than the Taoiseach.

You guys... He was molested by a Priest as a boy, then turned his back on the Catholic church and became a holy roller Pentecostal.

He's dedicating his life to getting 'religious freedom' for Christers. Beware.

R60 looks like he's just a boytoy to the PM... show some respect and get someone your own age!

Sister Pence looks like a typical HR frau dolled up for her latest conference on how Millennials are changing the workplace.

The first husband is definitely woof-worthy.

I'm in Dubai getting some Arab sizemeat.

This thread is on Reddit:

Why is the couple flanking the brother and sister? Why isn't it boy-boy-girl-boy?

All the photos are staged this way, all the ones I've seen anyway.

[quote] Though, considering the versatility of her size, I suppose Mother Pence could compete in more than one event.

In the water I'm a very skinny lady!

Bump for original thread.

Why are so many foreign elected officials normalizing this sick bigoted U.S. administration by meeting with them? Their complicity is disgusting.

Yes, for all their bluster about standing up to Trump, no-one seems to have any problems with meeting him, and Varadkar knew well he'd be treated with blatant disrespect. He could have easily sent a cabinet minister in his place.

I was kind of thinking that too R73; where's the political advantage in being photographed with anyone in the Dump Administration if you're a European Leader? They make no bones about how much they hate him and what a fucking joke he is. Even the royals flipped Dump the bird, but Leo & his boyfriend hang around with second tier player Pence (known gay hater) and his sister Frumpella? I just don't see the point

And all while there’s a massive crisis at home over Brexit r74 All the cabinet ministers though are scattered across the world on the tax payers dime celebrating St Patrick’s Day. At home, every show is highlighting the success of Irish abroad. As usual the native Irish are forgotten and fucked in favor if anything foreign, even a trump and a bible belter will do and long as it’s not, god forbid, Irish.

Supposedly last year he as supposed to be sucking up looking for a visa program that’s only available to Aussies to be opened to Irish and also to ask for leniency for undocumented Irish. The latter was never gonna happen anyway but the former didn’t get through the Senate. This year they don’t even have an excuse. In fairness we’ve had some Taioseachs that were as corrupt and sleazy as Trump. One even claimed not to have a bank account when caught up in scandal! St Patrick left quite a few snakes behind him. Leo isn’t all that either. He’s to the right fiscally and born with a silver spoon so he’s far from a man of the people.

[quote]I'm in Dubai getting some Arab sizemeat.

You mean Iraq.

Thanks R75 for that perspective; I really hadn't thought of it like that. I always think of the Irish & Aussies getting relatively favorable treatment in the visa department compared to other countries, but perhaps that's not really the case. Ireland is a beautiful, amazing country full of lovely people so I was puzzled why any Irish leader that cared about their popularity at home would give at a shit about the loathsome Dump Administration & it's minions

[quote] In the water I'm a very skinny lady! —Mother Pence

This gif says otherwise, Mother. Poor guy!

No r77 there hasn’t been a way for Irish people to get US visas since the mid 80s. Exceptions of course for high skilled doctors getting temp work visas and company transfers etc.. Irish people now go to Australia and Canada. Australia in particular got thousands of Irish during the last recession. I have 8 first cousins and 5 are in Sydney, 1 is in Calgary working in logging. We don’t get treated any nicer coming as tourists either even though Dublin/Shannon have US preclearance. My last 3 times through have been nothing short of awful. Spoken to like you’re a criminal by agents on such a power trip they can’t even say hello when you approach the desk. The last one I had asked if I had a girlfriend, then if I had a girlfriend in the US, then again if I was seeing a woman. I finally said “Mrs I’m as gay as a goose” and she then went through every stamp on my passport and grilled me over each one. And to each one I’d infuriate her more “I went to see Bette Midler in Hello Dolly, I was there for 4 days”. Eventually she threw my passport at me and motioned for the next victim but it’s never a nice process.

Can you just picture Pence laying in his bed trembling all night thinking about this encounter?

Ireland is hugely dependant on foreign investment. A lot of American companies have Dublin offices and Irish companies export a lot of their product to the US. Add in the long history of immigration from Ireland and Ireland’s nickname as the “51st State” and it would be a huge thing for the Taoiseach to pull out of the annual trip to DC for Paddy’s Day. If American investment pulled out of Dublin, Ireland would be fucked again. Previous leaders Bertie Ahern and Brian Cowan were Trumpesque. I think Irish people are trying to improve the country but I’m not sure amazing can be applied yet, that’s a bit premature. We have plenty of our own current problems and plenty of problems from the past we’re still working through. Trump has very few lovers and the GOP in general are considered nuts for their guns and religious fanaticism but nobody will be saying “Poor innocent, perfect Varadker having to stand beside Trump” We’re in a weird zone where we have no politicians as far right as the GOP but none as far left as the Democrats either. In the EU, the Irish parties are mostly centre-right/Christian Democrats which is a fairly accurate description.

R79 Customs and immigration officials in the US are weary of travelers from Ireland, because the Irish are known as one of the biggest groups of illegal immigrants in the US, outside of Latin America.

yes, but Ireland is in the Visa wavier program. They don't need a visa.

Yes, Ireland is corrupt as fuck. Are they still gonna tax people for water? It rains 80% of the year. They can't even make proper use of that resource...

The VWP just means the requirement to get a visa for tourist/business travel is waived. Still have to face an immigration officer who makes the decision on whether to admit or not. Global Entry is not available to Irish passport holders yet.
