Watched back on the 90th minute debate it was an easy win for Harris under any rational lens and Harris was the only candidate who spoke to the voters.

Trump was deranged and rambled crazily. 'Dogs and cats are being eaten', 'the election was stolen', saying he has 'concepts of a plan' for health care, no explanation on how he will solve the Ukraine crisis (because he will let Putin win). Republican Chris Christie probably summed it up well afterwards when he said whoever prepared Trump for that debate should be sacked.

LOL

That's the issue

He's uncoachable

I'm sure there are many things the media don't tell us but it's the same whether it's "msm" or not.

It's like Whitey said, if it wasn't for twitter none of the mainstream media would have picked up on the anti-Irish SPHE textbook.

I think there is definitely a narrower range of opinions in the mainstream media now. The Irish Times used to carry columnists such as John Waters and Kevin Myers, an even had articles by the likes of Desmond Fennell. Now it gets no more 'edgy' than Michael McDowell. God, even some if its reporting is highly suspicious. There was a story it published about an attack on a migrant camp on the banks on the Dodder a couple of years ago, that is highly unlikely to have happened at all. But then, the IT is endlessly cheerleading for multiculturalism, so what would you expect?!

RTE's news presentations are pretty biased but, in fairness - and much to my amazement - it did interview Malachy Steenson for a documentary it had about the local elections.

There have been so many attacks on migrant camps  and traveler camps that it's difficult to know which attack you're referring to that supposedly never happened.
Is it this one that actually happened or is there some other 'ghost attack' by police or by rabid Irish 'brown shirts'?

So lets take the example of what happened in Cork last week

Supposedly a bunch of scumbags have been threatening assaulting and generally harassing people in Cork city center for months. The people they have been assaulting up until now were (for the most) Irish people

When they assault two Indian people in the space of a week they are now miraculously part of some vast far right cabal

Maybe they're just scumbags

Far Right facists bring spirit of Alabama to Cork...

From what I've read about these incidents online is that those responsible are members of a native minority group who've been terrorizing the entire town-not just the Indian students

Can you put up a link for that? Can't find that anywhere. Not saying you're lying but you know how far right racists tend to... lie 🤷

Well do you think the main stream media would blow up their far right narrative by actually reporting the real back story

LOL

Racist attacks wherever they come from are far right : )
On this occasion those far right claim to be 'Irish' albeit in cohoots with loyalism and British facism although you an immigrant in the US know different 😄

Well there's a picture of the guy who did it online. I guess when he's brought to court to answer for his actions we'll find out exactly who he is (even though he seems to have already been identified by numerous people)

14 year old kills 2 teachers and 2 students in a school shooting in Georgia

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/apalachee-high-school-shooting-georgia-09-04-24/index.html

Apparently the kid and his father were interviewed by the Feds last year when he made online threats to shoot up the school. Supposedly they had no probable cause to arrest him, but notified the school of their concerns. The father told the FBI their guns were secure.

So even with advance notice there's not much they can do.

Freedom baby!

I wonder will Georgia go after the parents like that (I think) Michigan case last year? Those parents were convicted and went down for ten years.

Ive bee saying it for years

If your gun is used in a murder, and you didn't have it properly secured, you should bo looking at a minimum 10 year sentence......and probably 20

But where was the good guy with his gun that could have stopped this kid with an AR eh Whitey!

That is a myth as we found out in Uvalde

Was at a family get together a few years ago - could be ten years ago. Anyway the brother in law is English and his father was at the gathering is English also.

i was talking to him about some upcoming football tournament and said to him -''You have the Flag out back home''.

He shook his head and said ''Nah, couldn't be doing that''

He said to me. ''I'm English, White, Male, Heterosexual, old - We are not allowed to express ourselves - It's just the way now.''
Don't ask me what part of England he lives in - but I thought it was quiet sad.

The theme is in getting your rights - be careful how you affect those opposite to you.

That was essentially my point

None of them could find it in themselves to condemn the outrageous depiction of Family A because somehow it would give credibility to other people who were also condemning it

2 simple questions

Should the book be removed from the curriculum?

Should the person who approved it be fired?

yes
yes

Will that make you more Irish?

This post genuinely makes me sad

I never realized the harm that 70 years of state subjugation left on our northern brethren

To have such low self esteem and self loathing must be an incredible burden to carry around every day.

Having to now prove, at every turn, how open, accepting and liberal you all are is actually pathetic

The reality of the American voting system is that unless you live in one of 7 or eight battleground states your vote essentially doesn't matter

J70 staying home in November or voting for Jill Stein means nothing because Harris should and will beat Trump by about 50 points in New York

Similarly if I vote for Trump in MA (which I'm not going to do) it's meaningless because he's going to lose here by about 50 points

Yep-as expected

Tying yourselves up in knots justifying and excusing such horrible slurs proving (to yourselves) how woke and inclusive you all are in the name of political correctness.  I'm actually embarrassed for you

If a similar "hit piece" was written denigrating some minority group the same people would be out with burning pitchforks calling for people to be prosecuted

Clearly the idea of "Irish-ness" is being disparaged. Can you not see that? It's almost like a parody! The not very subliminal message is that you should identify, not as "Irish", but as a "citizen of the world".

Amazingly, all this jetting around the place is very unhealthy for the environment, but yet is being pushed pretty hard! Who is promoting and funding this rootless cosmopolitanism?!

My Irishness is certainly not being disparaged, nor is anyone elses I know. If yours is it sounds like a you problem. And if you feel yours is because of others coming to this island then your irishness wasnt very strong in the first place

It is a clear effort to paint an Irish family as somehow less 'modern' and 'cool' than an 'internationalist' family. If you can't see that, you're either not very bright, or you're just arguing for the sake of it. I suspect the latter.

In fairness family A lived beside me while I was growing up 20/30 years ago. We mocked the sh1te out of them at that point, and rightly so, and was nothing to do with a great replacement. 

They had no relatives living abroad and would only watch movies made in Ireland?

And eat bacon and cabbage every day

This is 100% from the "open borders" playbook

Not only is Irelands native culture mocked and denigrated, it is painted as narrow minded, unsophisticated and downright  dangerous

I find it quite ironic but not surprising, that posters on here whose families were actually treated as second class citizens (and in some cases murdered)  for being "Irish/Catholic" would be fine with this

But then of course without their virtue signaling, they wouldn't be able to wallow in their self anointed moral superiority

Whoever signed off on approving that book should be fired....tomorrow !!

Maybe the "far right" aren't as paranoid as some people make them out to be when it comes to the destruction of Irish culture

I haven't see mention of this on either RTE or the Irish Independent / Times

Shows that Twitter absolutely has a role to play in informing the public
