Replying To Trump2020: "GOOD MAN TRUMP! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/jfk-files-released-what-they-say-about-kennedys-assassination-live-updates/ar-AA1BbN19 The Trump administration has released a tranche of unredacted documents about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Titled the "Records of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (the Warren Commission), 1954-1965," the documents include photos of evidence and correspondence regarding the assassination." Bet they shed no real light on the assassination Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15231 - 19/03/2025 09:52:54 2597202 Link
Replying To jm25: "Interesting while I agree mcgregor is a tool I don't agree with you cant agree with someone opinion due to their character. For example if his opinion is that Dublin City centre is in dire condition and unsafe he is 100% right. If a Katie Taylor or Paul oDonovan said it would it be ok to agree with them as they seem decent characters Now his lack of self awareness commenting about Irish Americans living in America was laughable" Ok I will concede that Dublin city centre is in tight shape. But how was that caused by immigrants? Is it immigrants job to maintain our capital city's appearance? Is it immigrants jobs to address housing issues? We've had problems with housing for decades. We had an opportunity in the last election to effect change, but chose not to do it. Again. It's textbook stuff of the right-wing fringe to blame the "other" for society's problems. Has been for decades. Instead of holding our politicians to proper account, lets direct our anger towards some poor Syrain families who in many cases have escaped hell under Assad's insane regime. If America wasn't so concerned with being the world's alpha, and spent even half of their defence budget on addressing poverty at home, then maybe there would have been no need to elect a completely insufferable cretin to the White House.

But that has nothing to do with immigration so why relate it to what McGregor said? TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8333 - 19/03/2025 10:08:41 2597204 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "I don't care about his personality either but McGregor is 100% right. Nice to see someone with a platform speaking out. The Politicians sure won't." Politicians represent people. If any of them came out with the xxxx Conor Mcgregor does they'd be ex-TDs pretty quick. You are a strange man. An immigrant in a country run by 1st, in the case of Musk, 2nd or 3rd, in the case of Trump, generation immigrants whose forefathers illegally stole at the point of a gun most of the land and assets in the country they now reside. As regards Mcgregor his dealings are way less murky than Donald, or indeed Fred, Trump's. If he kept his mouth shut, and maybe, or maybe not, his hands to himself when partying late with female companions, there'd be very little to dislike about the man. He's supporting plenty of projects working with the disadvantaged, growing up in backgrounds like his. He didn't have a daddy giving him 20k, worth much more in today's money, a year, from birth, and wasn't a daddy made millionaire by the time he was 9.

Begrudge Trumps birth all you want as if he could control who his parents are. As for land stolen: every inch of this flat earth was stolen at one time or another by someone but of course you just cherry pick to suit your bias. Under CURRENT rules there is LEGAL immigration and ILLEGAL immigration and almost every country has some sort of rules so stop crying about that as it's a waste. As for legal issues of him and Trump with women I truly don't know what happened just like I didn't know what happened with BILL CLINTON and all the women that accused him.

Replying To Trump2020: "Maybe not but isn't a little TRANSPARENCY nice for a change?" If he was interested in Transparency he'd be ordering the release of all the state documents connected to the case. And even if he did do that, why would you believe that everything that was known was documented at the time, and that no documents were destroyed subsequently?

I'm just saying just because you dislike someone doesn't mean you should ignore or disreguard everything they say. I think this is where some people go wrong nowadays they live in an echo chamber of like minded views and don't like opposing views to their own.

It's funny how you turn almost everything that doesn't sit right back on the Dems - or someone else. By the way, and try to resist blaming sleepy Joe, whose hand seems to be in everything , what do you think of all these shenanigans with tour idol and his best buddy Putin over the last day or two ??

I happen not to like him, but I also profoundly disagree with his sentiments. I haven't ignored what he's had to say, it was very hard to ignore. I had to rub my eyes a few times to truly believe what I was seeing in the White House the other day. I don't live in an echo chamber.

Well said. Ireland needs zero tolerance policing like what NYC brought in the early 90s. We also need major reform of our justice and legal system.

Let me just say the only sound bite I listened to from him was he employs 200-300 people don't know if that's true or not and Dublin City centre is an unsafe place and I agree with anyone who says that jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1417 - 19/03/2025 12:36:53 2597249 Link

Unfortunately we also see members of the Gardaí in these circumstances far too often. We have a number of generational societal problems in housing, policing and drug abuse that have been left fester or in some cases wilfully encouraged. Unfortunately immigrants are shouldering the blame for this as a copout Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12279 - 19/03/2025 12:41:42 2597250 Link
