Replying To Freethinker:  "There you go again calling people who disagree with Mr T Deranged. That's straight out of his lexicon. I happen to think that Mr T is the worst thing that ever happened to America, Europe and the rest of the world Hardly enough to put me in the deranged category - but if it makes you feel better, so be it."
What is your logic for thinking he's the worse thing to happen the world.

I think his bark is worse than his bite. After all his hoopla his first term was unremarkable until he lost election and he helped fan flames of capitol riots

I'd be more concerned what will come from Vance or newsoom next

Replying To jm25:  "No if someone says something I agree with ie David Clifford is best footballer in Ireland I will give it a thumbs up.

A debate involves two opposing views.

I am in fact balanced I call out both sides ie I'll call out Barney for nonsense and you and freethinker on other side

Like see how you cannot give him an iota of credit.

I can criticise and give credit where due"
So if 90 per cent of his presidency is nuts you will only post about the positive 10 per cent. And accuse posters of having tds who highlight all the mad stuff. You are honestly making no sense.

By the way I already said he was right to try and clamp down on the border. More than once. You say you know nothing of the Venezuela situation yet you highlight the India/ Pakistan ceasefire? Are you trying to tell me you knew there was a problem between India and Pakistan? Really?

Yes I'm a big cricket fan getting up early watching ashes this weather was actually gonna bring it up here on this forum.

currently listening to ed Joyce interview with Joe Molloy funny enough so well aware of issues between India and Pakistan through cricket

Heck the Indian and Pakistan PL were suspended this year due to conflict so even a passing sports fan prob heard about it.

Imran Khan Pakistan captain at 92 World Cup currently in jail is an interesting story

Both are far more renowned countries then Venezuela isn't India the largest population now

Does that satisfy I know of conflict

Ive not read anything on goings on in Venezuela I thought they had a crackpot leader who trump would get on with like balsanaro

Replying To SouthGalway:  "I agree with you as far as the differences between the whole Presidential Election setup in the USA vs Ireland and yes as you say the Irish President is mostly Ceremonial but what about all the spoiled votes? Does that seem like a very satisfied populace? Satisfied with what candidates were LET in?"
Candidates who ran for election knew the deadline to their candicacy declared as did those who dudn't get the quota of backers. Government parties had weak enough candidates so they weren't gonna make it easy for any potential independent candidates to make them look even worse. Regardless, had independents declared their intent a few weaks earlier then, arguably, their name would have been on the ballot paper.
