BIDEN, asked if Joe Manchin broke his word on Build Back Better: “Senator Manchin and I are going to get something done. Thank you.”

Before that, he told a joke he enjoys telling: People have said he can’t be Irish because he doesn’t hold a grudge.

Btw, by heritage, Joe Biden is roughly five-eighths Irish. All of his mother’s family traces back to Ireland with ancestors named Arthurs, Blewitt, Boyle, Roche, Scanlon and Stanton accompanying her Finnegan name . The last one-eighth comes from his father’s side, which contributed the Hanafee name.

2. Such a great quality to not hold a grudge.

Grudges hurt the grudge holder the most. Grudges are a waste of time and energy. It took me awhile to figure that out. 🙂

4. I think it may be partly a Delaware thing

We are so small that whatever profession or field you are in, you’re bound to run into the same people over and over. And your children will go to high school together. You can’t afford to hold a grudge. It’s self-destructive

3. Interesting, I'm probably very distantly related to him.

One of those names from his mother's side is the same as mine. It's said that everyone with that surname is descended from two brothers who were part of the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century.

5. Lets see how much power one member has to dictate the

content of this bill after he as already pulled this public stunt embarassing the President and leadership...Machin doesn't deserve the preferential treatment.

6. The Irish don't have exclusive rights to that

I hold a grudge, and I have no more Irish blood in me than Emperor Naruhito.
