When the Clinton campaigns connection to this set up is revealed remember where you heard it first

It's a Clinton set-up?

Are conservatives EVER responsible for anything??

And let's say, for the sake of amusement, that it WAS a set-up?

How does that excuse Trump Jr, Manafort's and Kushner's eager rush to meet with what they thought was a Russian government operative with damaging dirt on Clinton?

Oh it won't excuse anything....they, especially Manafort, should have run a mile and reported it immediately to the FBI.

On the other hand, if what I am saying is true.....it's going to look very bad for the Democrats

They might have wanted to spring their cunning trap a wee bit sooner no? Like before the election?

Quick rules question - used to be if you were being tackled and an arm held you could throw the ball up and fist pass it with the same hand. Mayo got pulled for that, is it no longer the rule or did the Mayo guy just not do an obvious enough striking action?

Get your euros changed tomorrow at the latest, sterling already beginning to rise on the expectation that Tories will be returned with an increased majority.

Hope Labour get in so as I get the cash for the car tomorrow!

Well you got a 1% bump already based on the exit polls.

Horrendous injury for Coleman.
Double leg fracture like that is a year minimum usually...will struggle to be the same player again. Terrible 

Henrik Larsson came back quickly and well from a bad break - hopefully Seamus gets some luck like that.

Tysam5 that was not a nothing game though. It was the grand slam for england and ireland were 2nd bottom unless they did something. England had to win it and we needed to too.

Yes we seem to do rubbish at world cups but far from a nothing game.

2nd bottom or 2nd - what's the difference to an actual world class team with a winning mentality? I just don't have faith in the this Ireland team if winning something is on the line.

Have to say it's a bit puzzling to me why so many Irish fans and players were giddily celebrating as England were being awarded the title.

Difficult to reconcile that with the equally perplexing notion that Ireland are an elite rugby force to be reckoned with.


Big time talk conflicting with small time actions some might say.

Team and supporters celebrating a win shocker!

A top 4 team according to the world rankings and they have beat the other 3 in that top group would indicate they are at least competitive.

All in nothing games though, how many times have we seen an Ireland team that can get these kind of wins (OK maybe no NZ) and then go to world cup and get knocked out by Argentina.

I read the match report on RTE about a 'famous win'. I saw barely a mention of the fact that England had still won the championship and that earlier losses had meant it was pretty mucha dead leg.

I thought Ireland had ambitions beyond being spoilers these days? If it was any other sport it would be written with the whole tournament in mind and that the team had ultimately failed.

Yes it isn't like anyone would be told to sit down and stop speaking for fairly ambiguous reasons in the United States right?

a theory test and a driving test would be handier surely than flying up to Ontario? Whats the point of going through all that hassle lad?

Holders of driving licences from other countries
If you are not from any of the above countries, (for example, if you are from the United States), and you hold a national driving licence and an international driving permit from your own country, you may drive in Ireland for the duration of your temporary visit (up to 12 months).

If your stay in Ireland will be more than 12 months you can apply for an Irish driving licence but you will need to go through the full driver licensing procedure. You must first complete a driver theory test, apply for a learner driving permit and complete your driving test in Ireland. If you pass your driving test, you will be issued with an Irish driving licence.

Stopping off in Toronto for a few days would be a lot easier if feasible.

Just keep driving on the US license, you'll never get a speeding ticket.

Great issue of National Geographic on Gender just came out. Jan 2017

Ewan McKenna on twitter has a pic of the flight plan, fuel for 4h.22 mins - journey time 4h.22mins

Whether it's true, I heard that Cubans are mad over the embargo being lifted and they are typically Republican voters, so a high Hispanic turnout in FL could benefit Trump

That's changed a bit, you're talking the grandchildren of people who left Cuba now and they give less of a shit. Probably turn out lower than their grandparents though.

Hmmmmm......things looking better for Trump in prelim exit polls than I would have thought

In Florida "In the preliminary exit polls, 39 percent of voters were people of color. That compares to just 33 percent in 2012."

I think that favors HRC.

Whatever about fox and Obama. Has Clinton won the swing states? If so there's nothing Trump can do really.

Not a whole lot. If you give Trump FL (44.9), NC (44.5), NV(41.7) and NH (30.2) and the states he is >60% favorite in he only has 269 (need 270) He would still need either MI (21.1) or PA (23).

Number in bracket is chance of winning per Nate Silver.

A friend of mine had 2 Texans out on a tour here last week. Billionaires, own jet and pilot, etc. Voting for Trump. Why? Well, apparently Hillary might force them to get rid of 'some of their guns'. Apparently they have some really high-tech firepower in their arsenal.

A Texan acquaintance of mine was saying similar this morning, it's amazing they have any left after 8 years of Obama.
