I've noticed on this website a lot of Americans like to call their president their "big wet boy."

And I would like to notify them that in Ireland, the president (currently Michael Higgins, different guy than the taoiseach Micheál Martin) is Uachtarán na hÉireann (President of Ireland). Uachtarán means cream (like when cream rises, also why we say "cream of the crop" in English).

All of this to say, while America may have a big wet boy for now, Ireland always has and will always have a creamy boy.

ehhhh Collins undoubtedly was a force for good at times but it's probably fine that he got whacked because he was very much on a proto-fascist trajectory. also signed the anglo-irish treaty which, you know, not great. unforgivable in fact. most irish communists wouldn't really uphold him as he was by no means a comrade, very much a right-leaning, "pragmatic" nationalist. he was good at killing brits and insurgency, spycraft etc. but suffered from a vulgar patriotism unguided by any real left-wing ideals.
