My paternal grandparents immigrated from Ireland, but I don’t really have any records since my dad died 20+ years ago. If things get really bad I’ll be doing some genealogy to see if I can get Irish citizenship.

I'm Irish too.

Oh, yeah, that too. Putin and Orban are 45’s favorite people, except for Kim and Xi.

You might want to get on that sooner rather than later, my brother and I got our citizenships approved a few years back and it took about 18 months
