Because many of us saw through Trump’s bravado and bullying, his empty promises, undoing of rules and regulations that helped cause disasters like that train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio, which threatened them and us downwind, and of course his treasonous insurrection attempt. We have enough know-nothings here. Covid didn’t get ‘em all. We don’t need another.

The Irish hate that we call it St. Patty’s. It’s St. Paddy. From Merriam-Webster: St. Patrick's Day can be referred to in informal contexts as “St. Paddy's Day.” Paddy is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of Patrick, which is Pádraig, and for this reason is usually preferred over “St. Patty's Day,” which could also be mistaken for the shortened form of the name Patricia.

My response wasn’t intended to include a bunch of facts. You can see the public record at PA’s own site. Aside from FauxNooz, whose commentators admit in court that their shows are made up “for entertainment” and not real, any number of sources could have reported this story as every news office is following this contentious backwater we live in. Oh, and I’m old enough to know better, as in old enough to not to be taken in by the rhetoric of fear mongers, carpet baggers, and snake oil salesmen from Turkey.
