Not wrong, actually. It is like a hyper form of neo feudalism.

“Japan forced their hand”

He is such a dumb motherfucker.

I know it sounds paradoxical to say the colonisation of Ireland wasn’t about religion, but the flag was meant to represent a NON-SECTARIAN vision of an independent Ireland.

Drum, County Monaghan - Wikipedia

Well, I grew up in a town not too far from Drum where its residents are exclusively Protestant. One can be Irish and yet culturally British.

I mean, I am as Irish Republican as anyone can get but, we do try to get along! Hell, Heather Humphrys is from there. 😂

You are mostly right, but the orange part is for Protestants of all ilks living on the island!

Wolfe Tone wasn’t a Brit for example! He just happened to be Irish and Protestant.

RIP to Diane Keaton. Not only a woman who made extraordinary films but someone who always seemed to be exactly herself, and to be enjoying the experience very much.

Maybe MDH wasn’t tankie enough!

Syrians only need to get lucky once…

We are so doomed….

He’s living in his own version of hell. He can’t go anywhere without looking over his shoulder outside of Moscow.

I guess many people now know why RTÉ dumped him from the Sunday Game panel…

He’s a poor man’s Eamon Dunphy.

The original article referred to JG’s 25th anniversary of the wedding that was supposed to be today.

Talk about ruthless….

Yeah, fair point!

This would mean fixing the education systems in red states 😉

I thought it’s because a large portion of the right wing audience is functionally undereducated?

Why put in some effort when they don’t care about the quality of your output and only want their bias to be confirmed?

And there’s the whole authoritarian theatre thing. It has become a key feature of the far right now.

Got infested by MAGA poison.

I am not referring to their social conservative views. It’s more about the performative authoritarianism.

She’s just following the MAGA language as the Tories/Reform adopted over Irish Sea.

It’s a matter of radicalisation.

Actually, I share the same view.

A politically polarised America, whether it be cold or hot, won’t be of any use to Israel.

The world would always prioritise the Arab world over Israel should the American empire collapse.

Of course, the attractiveness of tax free income is the main factor but it comes with the moral cost anyway.

Because, let’s be honest, the rest of the country has no time for Dublin GAA.

I think Bibi claimed Israel could survive as a super Sparta but we all know how it ended…..

Israel does need trade or else it will end up like North Korea or apartheid era SA.

We are really witnessing the gradual collapse of “traditional” European football as we know it, eh…

Alien: Covenant is a good film. There I said it.

**ducks under table**

We need to revive Stanley Kubrick.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’d love to delve into overall US MNC resilience in several scenarios. However, it might be a bit like discussing the resilience of the Lehman Bros before 2008!

Yeah, but a civil war will inevitably affect those MNC coffers which may in turn instigate possible cutbacks/rollbacks elsewhere.

A civil unrest in the biggest financial market will cause worldwide panic.

Living in Ireland which is far more economically exposed to America’s economic sentiment than any other EU country…

I am still waiting on Irish political columnists (looking at you, Pat Leahy) to meaningfully cover the possible ramifications for Ireland.
