Man with no spine goes and visits someone who has one, to see what it's like. #SpeirGorm

Smells of the kind of stroke the Trumpeleone Family get up to in the US. You know, investigate the politician and despite the evidence decide not to prosecute because you know, politician and reliance on independent TDs and stuff.

There’s a certain irony to two political parties who were born out of a revolution to regain a country from colonisers are now leading the charge to sell it off plot by plot to foreign β€œinvaders” and venture capitalists.

Thatcher would be proud of the current Irish government.

Destructive mischief like this is what effective people have to put up with all the time. John Maher is extremely active in his constituency and deserves better.

(No I’m not a member of Labour or any other party).

John Maher is a proactive Cllr of exactly the kind we need in this country. We have surfeit of the claim credit for stuff they had nothing to do with/stoke outrage based on lies and half truths sleeveens.
It was only a matter of time before he was the subject of shite like this.

The one thing they do get upended about, rather than literally anything else at all whatsoever that they're meant to be overseeing: trivial matters like housing, healthcare, infrastructure, etc

When are we going to learn to ignore these rags and their token Irish editions?

Thanks for sharing. So accurate it’s scary. I felt like I’ve been spied on for years πŸ˜‚. Right down to the plastic boxes.

Still have the last words bit to go. Obvs. 😜

Don’t lose too much sleep that it’ll be too busy. Time expands and is difficult to fill most of the time, even all the things yer man listed πŸ˜‚.

Ahem Government www.irishtimes.com/politics/202..., our (the people’s) elected President @president.ie is merely reaffirming the Constitution & Ireland’s assumed international rights & obligations

Not to call out the US-Israel aggression as a manifest breach of international law is wrong #speirgorm

This is the number of patients who need to be admitted to #UHL and have been left on trolleys today.
No privacy.
No dignity.
No adequate treatment.
This is not healthcare.
This is not good enough.

Well he is apparently an emissary of Christ and the bible says an eye for an eye. So the appropriate response for Khomeini would be…

Ironic if they got her the way they got Capone. For fraud and tax evasion instead of her part in multiple murders. But prison is still prison.

All of which would have taken money away from speculators and oligarchs behind big oil and big tech. So, a rolling timetable of wars by the Trumpeleone Regime sorts that out.

Because if the US wasn’t bankrolling Naziyahu to be a genocidal thug Isreal wouldn’t have the capacity to rampage across the ME.

The despicable acts of the Iranian regime is a separate issue.

Americans have been sold the fantasy that we are β€œnumber one” in the world; we’re not. I’m afraid that we’ve become the bully: a big, stupid schoolyard asshole who wants to punch you & make you cry.
Canadians are better & Europeans get more vacations.
Why TF are we proud to have more billionaires?!

Biddy Early They said she kept
a blue bottle. The colour of deep water,
of bruises.
Men with books came searching for the thing
they feared inside it. But the hills had already
told her their secrets.
Bog-myrtle.
Foxglove.
The slow grammar of rain. Women crossed the dark fields to her door
with quiet emergencies.
Milk gone bitter.
Blood that would not come. The future pressing
like weather.
The priests called it witchcraft.
The law called it fraud.
But the land had always trusted her hands.
perdans ined nothing. Only the dangerous rumour that a woman might know what the earth
knows.

In Irish tradition, a bean feasa (β€œwise woman ”) was a healer and seer who worked with herbs, lore, and the wisdom of the land. Biddy Early was one of the most famous. Denounced by some clergy as a witch, she was brought to court but never convicted. #vss365 #SpeirGorm #SpΓ©irGhorm

Barack Obama: "We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope β€” each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law β€” an offense to common decency β€” If we don't step up, no one else will"
