From "Joe Biden swarmed by protesters during surprise Dublin visit to support Hunter/Chaos broke out near the event attended by Biden and his family" (Independent).
This is bloggable because:
1. A Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse!
2. For Hunter!
3. Is he really "their son"?
4. People threw objects at Joe Biden? Why? What exactly was their beef?
5. The throwing of objects is public discourse, but it doesn't deserve the gold medal.
6. I'm happy to see Joe is well enough to travel to Dublin, but it heightens my skepticism about why he's avoiding doing interviews about this new book he wrote/"wrote."

Hunter Biden getting an Irish award. Makes sense. I'm sure the Irish pols really see themselves in him. They can only steal and get Bribes on a small scale. Hunter and "the big guy" got tens of $millions.
…dollars to donuts they invented the award for the sole purpose of posting the video of people throwing things to social media…
So very much wrong with this story; so much shame to go around.
But regardless of your opinion about Joe Biden, he is the former president of the United States and he was attacked by a foreign mob for actions he took as president of the United States. Ireland needs to go medieval on the people who did this; if they don't, then the US needs to go medieval on Ireland.
…oops I see I’m wrong. Except for maybe Geldof it’s for getting away with outstanding leftie shenanigans…
…maybe they fave Biden Trump’s old Secret Service team, Tim…
the left will eat their own. The insanity was injected.
Hope they were those small cartons of milk. If one hit Joe Biden at his age, bad news.
Makes sense that this happened in Ireland. They're one of the most Anti-Genocide in Gaza countries in Europe. And Biden was a total Zionsist shill. I wonder if biden's now on his way to Israel to wail at the wailing wall. And pick up a bribe.
Coming soon to a country nearer you?
The failed pols should emulate vivek and bush jr.
Don't let us see you out in public again.
The Global left is a Crime syndicate. The Pro-Palestine crowd ring the edges.
The corrupt left will be given golden globes.
---- People threw objects at Joe Biden? Why? What exactly was their beef?
Moods change fast. Corrupt political leadership and hypocritical application of the rule of law may have finally run out of places to hide -- having outraged more and more people the world over. A prime example right at hand, for them.
I think the Irish decided to honor Hunter Biden because they heard that he was a piper and didn't realize that he was a CRACK piper.
Hey at least they didn't throw frozen milk cartons.
It is shameful for hunter and Jill to be trotting a demented cancer patient around the world, but he is still their meal ticket and people/ladies like ann eat this coverage up...
Why can't the left find anyone wholly virtuous to honor? It seems they require the deepest flaws before they can give someone accolades. There are people on the left who have never done anything wrong, some even heroic, but if they don't have some major evil on their resume, they get ignored.
They would've thrown ice cream at him but it's less aerodynamic. Heft is required.
Leftists back slap their fellow grifters.
The less one hears or reads about the Biden (Crime) Family, the better.
Surely this rates the "I'm skeptical" tag!
"5. The throwing of objects is public discourse, but it doesn't deserve the gold medal." Usually, you win a gold medal for hitting your target bigger badder faster more than others.
Throwing big milk cartons the size of small milk cartons?
Which reminds me ... many years ago a group of us were watching the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics. As the teams marched around the stadium, a small group with the Palestinian flag trooped by. "Palestine, huh, I wonder what event they compete in?", one person asked. "Rock throwing," came the reply.
Ireland is a little crazy. They used to be crazy about religion and nationalism. Having thrown those overboard -- they can't even properly hate the English anymore -- the Irish need to be crazy about other things. Hurling and Gaelic football aren't crazy enough.
I thought, back in 24, that Biden was just days away from death by prostate cancer. Yet here he is cavorting all over the world. Giving speeches (sort of) and generally seeming halthy.
Was the prostate cancer just another Biden scam?
Or is it a Festivus Miracle!
John Henry
Of all the things to object to, questioning hunters relationship with Jill after his own mum dies young is not worthy of a law professor's analysis...
People might question whether meade is really your husband if Cohen still lives, but we dont stoop that low to criticize 21st century family formations.
An award for public discourse? Maybe they meant an award for public intercourse. Thanks folks, I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress.
Top democrats are given top notch healthcare. Healthcare the rest of us will never access.
Look how long they preserved Jimmy Carter.
Gee whiz, better call in Bono to mediate a peace treaty…
…they list milk cartons as objects thrown at joe biden but they fail to mention shoes…
Or maybe invite Nayib Bukele in to rid them of the new snakes.
…I volunteer for the team to hammer out the peace accords, and propose the meetings be held at Royal County Down, Portrush, Lahinch, and the little nine holer Bill Murray played the day before his birthday…
"But regardless of your opinion about Joe Biden, he is the former president of the United States and he was attacked by a foreign mob for actions he took as president of the United States."
LOL - this must be satire. Yes, I for one am upset at furinerrs attacking OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF (Retired) by throwing milk at him. We need to send some Marines to teach them a lesson.
Let Ireland bow down to the Yankee nation. You cant mess with Uncle Sam. LOL!
Is there and award Hunter and his parents can be given for disowning a his love child?
Joe Biden is just a corrupt lying pol who tried to put his precessor in jail - and got rich on bribes from foreign countries. Not to mention he got elected by fraud. Joe Biden should have been Mayor of Newark NJ in the 40s. He'd have fit right in.
BTW, I thought he was dying of cancer. He seems pretty spry for that.
Everyone involved in this situation is a fucking parasite.
We need to delouse the world.
The people giving the awards are parasites, the bidens are parasites, the media reporting this are parasites, the voters that voted for biden before throwing things at him are parasites.
They all just need to be shipped to Afghanistan and left there.
I don't even need to know the morons on the Trinity College committee who decided to give Hunter this joke award. I can already write their profiles.
Ireland has gone insane. Are must still be drinking absinthe.
Trinity College has completely disgraced itself.
Milk the public for 50 years, then get pelted with milk cartons. I further assume that Hunter's award came from one of those online ratings grifts that declares something random as the best in the world without ever disclosing their criteria or methodology, the kind that always gets a story on the local news.
What book did Joe Biden write?? "The Art of the Steal"?
It should be pointed out that the College Historical Society (Hist) is a student debating club.
The pictures of Joe at the event are pretty sad, he's got that wide-eyed demented look that shows his semi-permanent state of being startled by his surroundings.
“Public discourse”?
1. A Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse!
2. For Hunter!
Everything has turned to DRECK!
“It heightens my skepticism”
Althouse, your skepticism is heightening my skepticism. Biden aides were already shutting off microphones whenever he tried to answer an unscripted question early on in his Presidential term. There’s no reason to believe his facilities have improved in subsequent years.
"'Public discourse'?"
Yes, it's a kind of public intercourse.
Ireland is another of those places where all the good people took their DNA and left for the USA long ago.
The medal is Biden's version of the Nobel Prize Obama got just for not being Bush. Like everything else Biden, it's a pale copy of Obama (who was a pale copy of something himself). The award was given by Trinity College, originally a more or less Protestant institution in overwhelmingly Catholic Ireland, so they are a very confused bunch.
An award for “Public Intercourse” perhaps more appropriate?
Throwing milk cartons. Sounds cute.
But it isn't, is it? Even the school lunch size are almost twice the weight of a baseball, with sharp corners. It's like when "protesters" here in the US started wearing furry costumes - sounded cute, except that the function was to hide their identities so that they could foment violence with impunity.
I remember being in Model UN in high school with our dear departed Gahrie - back then, he was pro-"Palestinian." He later said, here, that the Second Intifada changed his mind: it became clear to him then* that the "Palestinians" had no interest in a peaceful, two-state solution; they wanted the destruction of Israel and all non-Muslims dwelling therein. That was in the early 1980s. It was super trendy - Yasser Arafat was a T-shirt hero, like the evil Che before him. And here we are again.
* As some herein continue, I can only conclude willfully, to fail to grasp**.
** I miss Gahrie; maybe, as a formerly pro-"Palestinian" voice, he could have chipped away at the pretensions of our resident "anti-Zionists."
20 years ago I lived in a flat right next to the Israeli embassy and the protests were a constant hassle. On the other side was the Italian embassy, and one time there were protesters chanting in Italian so all I could understand was the Berlusconi part. The embassy had pizzas delivered to the protesters one night. I preferred the Italian protesters.
"4. People threw objects at Joe Biden? Why? What exactly was their beef?"
Here's why: "Two arrests were made after a group of protesters and onlookers gathered outside Trinity College Dublin during a visit of former US president Joe Biden.
Mr Biden made the surprise visit to Trinity College Dublin as his son Hunter was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse by the world's oldest student society.
He was joined by former first lady Jill Biden.
*Pro-Palestinian protesters* had gathered outside the event to voice their opposition.
As the Bidens left the venue following the ceremony, some people moved forward and objects were thrown, including milk.
A number of garda public order unit vans and officers were on site and at least two arrests were made."

At least they didn't throw "milkshakes."
It's nice to see some Intra-Catholic violence abroad.
The milk cartons I've seen in Europe are juice-box sized filled with UHT (ultra Pateurized) milk. Smaller that our normal school lunch style cartons.
They were chanting "Blood, blood, blood on your hands!" Hmm.
Hunter did provoke a wide conversation about grifting and how a sitting President was impeached for inquiring about a one billion dollar bribe to buy him immunity in Ukraine. I didn’t realize the discourse was in gaelic. Also, It has become clear recently that some sort of mental illness is affecting many of the Irish. I say that with a heavy heart having learned at the very same Trinity College that I am of Irish descent. La Señora, a Gallagher, already knew.
"that the "Palestinians" had no interest in a peaceful, two-state solution; they wanted the destruction of Israel "
Do a little research on Netanyahu funding Hamas and you will see that this is exactly why he funded them. They opposed a two state solution and would certainly provide him with the pretext to extirpate them.
In New York State there were several branches of the Iroquois Federation, and most of them chose violence to try to prevent the Americans from taking their land, and they are mostly gone, driven out in large part by the Revolutionary Army at the order of George Washington, and under General Sullivan.
The tribe with the largest chunk of remaining land is the Seneca Nation, which chose to fight with lawyers.
I know it is probably hard for you to put two and two together, but the lesson is clear, you are better off with a militant opponent, who nevertheless is no actual threat to you, than one that works through courts and institutions—IF—what you want in the end is to. take the most land.
I love the "Palestinians" in quotes though, you can ask Grok what percentage of the population within the borders of modern Israel were Jewish in 1920, for example.
Here's NBC News:
"Pro-Palestinian protesters pelt objects at Biden outside Irish university. Videos show protesters, some waving Palestinian flags, chanting “Blood on your hands” and pelting objects at the former president outside Trinity College Dublin."

Re Italians. I once talked to a veteran of WWII who had served in Africa, I think, it was a while ago, and he told me that he was there when columns of POWs marched by, Italians and Germans. He said the Germans were clearly angry, and the Italians were almost celebrating getting out of the war alive.
imtray - you have to be controlled opposition. Your "Pro- Palestine" posts are so weak and lame.
I would be interested in a factual rebuttal to the Netanyahu comment if you can come up with one. Name calling will be ignored, as per ususal.
"weak and lame"
Which points exactly are incorrect? That Netanyahu funded Hamas? Or that the Indians in New York State who were the most violent lost the most land?
**Multiple reports (including from the New York Times and Israeli sources) describe Netanyahu and associates viewing a relatively strong Hamas as useful precisely because it undermined prospects for a two-state outcome. A reported 2019 statement to Likud lawmakers (which Netanyahu has denied making) was that anyone who wants to prevent a Palestinian state should support strengthening Hamas and transferring money to it, so as to isolate Gaza from the West Bank.**. —Grok
You can ask Grok all about it.
Tim in Vermont is here to obsess over his secret love affair with Bibi.
I’m curious. What were those “ Outstanding Contributions for Public Discourse!”
Please elucidate.
