"A man is known by the company he keeps" Advocating for a ****bag like Trump speaks volumes. ThePowerhouse (Leitrim) - Posts: 173 - 03/03/2025 10:04:10 2594350 Link 0 |

Most definitely. Unfortunately it's a playbook that works. If you tell a lie big enough etc. etc. It works on the ignorant and/or those predisposed to those views. What they all have in common is that they're very unhappy with their own lives. Expressing those views has become more acceptable since Brexit and Trump. All controlled by Putin.

They're too ignorant to join the dots. Find a racist and you'll discover that their lives are a failure. Look at the chief protagonists in this country. Bunch of wasters and scroungers.

My thoughts exactly. The slogans and rhetoric are similar to those we have been hearing from a section of society who are out of step with the general population.

It's very easy to blame one's own inadequacies and failures on immigrants, especially illegal immigrants who don't have a voice to defend themselves. It's especially disconcerting that a country like Ireland, which has sent its people all over the world, can produce people with such racist, right wing views. In fact, America would fall apart at the seams if the million or so illegals were deported. Trump's mass deportations as yet, haven't happened as he has no idea how to deport them.

Yep. They'll play the "Ireland for the Irish" card but the harsh truth is that a lot of them are simply racist, unhappy bigoted people.

Just as well the Monk didn't find his way into the Irish government. There were so many videos circulated about the 34 count felon on one side of Atlantic, meeting up with an Irish gangster on Paddy's Day!

This is it. For a long long time, Irish people have emigrated in their millions. Now that we're a prosperous, safe country a lot of people have come here seeking a better future for themselves and their family. I agree that it needs to be regulated and controlled. We are a small country after all, but some of the guff you see and hear is extraordinarily lacking in empathy and self-awareness. You'd think Ireland was a crime and problem free Utopia prior to people moving here. Everything was just hunky dory, and our politicians ran the place like a slick well-oiled machine. No problems at all before all these dastadly immigrants came in to ruin it all on us. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9609 - 03/03/2025 14:34:47 2594448 Link 1 |

It's getting more amazing by the day. Mr T now appears to have ordered the cyber security dept of his administration to lay off Russia. Seems like he has been assured that there is no threat from that quarter by his old pal, who he believes over and above any of his own. Next up, he is warning all news outlets to stop giving Mr Putin such bad press. It would appear as if Mr Putin is actually the good guy in all this. His "State of the Union " address to congress tomorrow night should be something to behold.

The chief protagonists are making significant cash from grifting donations from these people too. A vicious circle of ignorance, lies and misery profiteering
