[So... you're not disputing that the GOP is a far right Christian nationalist personality cult then?]

The Dems are a normal, centrist, moderate party by western standards.

The Republicans are a far right, christian nationalist personality cult. What the DUP might have become had NI been a huge country.

But they're not

There are 4 Irish born people in my town

2 of us are moderate Republicans

1 is hard core MAGA

1 is a Democrat

The other moderate Republican is pro life. He and his wife were pressurized to terminate a pregnancy due to a (false) Down Syndrome diagnoses. The kid in question went to Harvard Medical Scholl and today is a neo natal surgeon at one of the most prestigious teaching hospitals in the world. Termination up to and including the date of delivery based on a Down Syndrome diagnosis is allowable in Massachusetts.

The MAGA supporter (a woman) had 2 sons at the local high school. The "woke mob" backed the the town Democratic committee tried to essentially ruin the life of one of their son's friends (and his family) due to a false homophobic accusation. (Graffiti in the bathroom of the  high school got pinned on the wrong person and the Democratic members of the school committee were advocating for hate crime charges to be filed against a 15 year old kid)

I'm not talking about whitey's friends in Massachusetts.

I'm talking about the national Republican Party which Trump has taken over lock, stock and barrel.

The day the party push back on any of Trump's historical extremism, narcissism, corruption and bigotry, you can come back to us.

In the meantime, places like Florida are banning chemtrails and fluoride, RFK Jr is trying to overturn decades of proven public health medicine, Trump is defunding science and medicine left, right and center, and Musk destroyed the lives of millions worldwide by "feeding USAID through the wood chipper".

Trump is getting his name on the Kennedy Center and his face on NPS park passes, cabinet meetings feature outlandish claims and toe-curlingly embarrassing fawning that would even make the Kims blush, there's talk about putting his face on one of the 250 year anniversary coins next year.

But sure it's all normal political party behaviour.

And I haven't even mentioned the immigration round-ups or the tariffs.

So after 4 years of Joe and Kamala 77000000 people felt the Republicans would do a better job

Including swing voters who voted for Obama twice and Biden once

So... you're not disputing that the GOP is a far right Christian nationalist personality cult then?

And yeah, the Dems fucked it up, specifically on immigration and allowing Biden to press on with his deluded attempt to get a second term.

They can recover from that.

Where does the GOP go from here? Will the charlatans, the fascists, the bigots and the conspiracy theorists be thrown to the wolves? Or is the likes of Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens the future as it currently appears?

I think that's nonsense

Based on my experience, people are voting against the Democrats and by default are voting for the Republican.

Union guy I've mentioned before. Up at 430 AM, out the door at 5.....starting work in Boston at 6:30 for a utilities company. Down in a manhole up to his oxters in $hite in all types of weather.

Try Explaining to him why he's paying for illegals or for student loan forgiveness for college graduates with useless majors

Oh boo hoo. We all work hard and are up early and pay taxes for things we don't agree with. Is your union pal upset at Trump Jr's drone company getting a massive government contract? Or the literal billions Ivanka's husband is pulling in as Arab governments throw money his way to buy access and influence with Trump? Trump getting a free jet from the Qataris? Billionaires footing the bill for the White House ballroom in return for...? I'll bet he was upset over Hunter Biden.

As for defaulting to the GOP...

1. There are GOP politicians who are not corrupt, bigoted fascists like Trump. The defaulters could have voted for any of them.

2. The GOP MAGA base DOES want Trump. They are racist and fascist themselves and love his racism and fascism. MAGA entails about a third of the country. If the defaulters decide that student loan forgiveness or emergency care for illegals is a worse sin then Trump's corrosive effect on the US and the world, then either they're not paying attention or their moral compass needs some serious realignment.

LOL

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen

This is exactly what the elite of the Democratic Party think of the average working person

Shut your fvcking mouth and listen to us because we know better than you 

That's really going to win him back

If you were down in a manhole for an 12 hour overnight shift in the middle of a Boston winter you might have a different view

And that post right there, boys and girls that is exactly why 77,000,000 people voted for Trump

Over and out

If I were down in a Boston manhole in the middle of the night I'd be fuming over student loan forgiveness and feeling glad that I voted for the man who is now terrorizing and abducting brown people, sending some of them to violent foreign gulags, f**king up the US economy and trade with brain dead tariffs, taking a flamethrower to public and environmental health, trying to hide the fact that he is all over the very same Epstein scandal that he himself leveraged in his favour for years, and so on and on???


It's telling that you haven't addressed a single point. The only thing that matters to you apparently is that pointing out the inconsistencies and flawed logic of supporting Trump is supposedly arrogant and condescending to the delicate constitutions of the working heroes who "default" to or form the basis of the MAGA movement.


My auld lad was a union carpenter in NYC for years, then returned to farming in Donegal. He despised GW Bush and if he were around today would have had nothing but disgust and contempt for a man like Trump. I've worked in plenty of literally shit jobs myself, and still have days in my current one when I'm also down manholes and other less than ideal environments. But because I vote the wrong way and take the time to put forward what I hope are logical  opinions, I'm elitest.

What a pile of bollocks.

Over and out indeed.

And this post lays out exactly why Trump got elected and why 77,000,000 voted for him (and Vance has a great chance of getting elected in 2028)

If Biden (and border Czar Kamala) had done their jobs on the border, Trump would NEVER have gotten re-elected.....Im convinced of that

But when I pointed out years ago that there was a "de facto open borders" policy in place and that it was going to cause huge problems down the road, you (and others on here) attacked me like savages


https://youtu.be/Y8Ef-wAZAUQ?si=DOEl_688U3dFDseV

You keep making this statement and I still have no clue how exactly my posts "show exactly why 77 million people voted for Trump".

You're free (yet again) to clarify it, but that nonsense aside...

The economy was the biggest reason Biden and then Harris had a losing hand. A global inflationary bubble that was mainly due to the pandemic and which was well on the way to being brought under control by the time of the election, but them's the breaks when you're president.

Immigration was a major own goal for Biden, as I've already said multiple times.

None of that explains or excuses the choice of Trump as the GOP candidate. He is a corrupt, morally bankrupt, unmanly, incompetent, deluded, unintelligent, narcissistic, sociopathic, sex-offending racist. He was effectively dead and buried in 2022 after the midterms. De Santis was riding high, and there were various other choices available. Any of those could and would have been tough on immigration and probably done a fairly sensible job of managing the continuing economic recovery from the pandemic.

But the white grievance base wanted their racist, "tells it like it is" hero back at the top to dish out vengeance against all the minorities, gays, and atheists, as well as "elite" scientists and doctors and "experts" who have the gall to do their jobs and offer professional advice and policies "talk down to them".

So the rationalizing of Trump and "it's all the Dems' fault" nonsense just doesn't fly. Those fuckwits wanted this and they're enjoying the racist spectacle while trying to curry special favours when the moronic economic policies hit them personally.

The poor MAGA and Republican crayturs. Always being talked down to by "elites".
Hollywood types, musicians, scientists, doctors, historians, gays, etc.

Meanwhile, anyone who doesn't think like them is unpatriotic, communist, traitorous, woke, evil, self-hating etc. Any Republican who doesn't toe the line has the flying monkeys unleashed to harass and intimidate thrm and worse.

At least it's "Russia collusion hoax", not "Russia hoax" any more, given that Trump and his campaign did just about everything except cross the line into full-on cooperation with the Russian campaign to tilt the election.

One wonders what would happen if Putin tried it again. Trump has dropped all pretenses and is openly enriching himself, his family and his cronies at taxpayer expense, while using the justice department to target his enemies and assist his allies. Would they even bother with trying to hide the machinations of the likes of Roger Stone and Paul Manafort?

I think that was the day Antrim beat them yeah.

The knee has clearly been impeding him for a few years now.

Nah, Antrim's win was 2009.

McBrearty made his double-debut in 2011. The seniors beat Antrim fairly handily that day, which was the day Spillane first drew the ire of McGuinness by giving a very grudging, best-of-a-horrible-lot, sure-we-have-to-give-it-to-someone man of the match award to Ryan Bradley.

[It has become increasingly clear what unrestrained Trumpism means for the country: corruption and cruelty at home, incompetence and anarchy abroad.]

Excellent essay in The Bulwark today about Trump's appalling domestic and foreign policy agendas.

Last paragraph:

The Trump era has forced Americans to reconsider and reaffirm first principles: Why is the peaceful transfer of power important? What is the purpose of judicial independence? Why is corruption corrosive to democratic governance? The same applies to the public understanding of the liberal international order: Why is free trade important? How do immigrants contribute to the country? Why does NATO matter? Trump's failures are rapidly piling up. The bill is already coming due on the tariffs, from farm bailouts to sticky inflation. Americans are quickly turning against the mass deportation campaign. It has become increasingly clear what unrestrained Trumpism means for the country: corruption and cruelty at home, incompetence and anarchy abroad. Trump likes to present himself as the reckoning for decades of elite failures, but he's in for a reckoning of his own.

The only rationale, such as it might be, that has been made public (that I can see) for him doing it is that he got angry that the crowds were blocking his path to the city center to pick up his friend. He then he decided he'd go down a blocked-off street anyway and try to drive through them, and then supposedly got scared when people understandly freaked out at him for trying to drive through the crowd.

It's absolutely mind-boggling that a grown man would do something like that.

A question for Donegal men on here.
Was Mc Brearty better than Colm Mc Fadden ?

He never had a flawless season like McFadden did in 2012.

I think he was more consistent over his career than McFadden though.

[He's not in the Murphy-Lacey-McHugh-Boyle(x2) tier for us]

He's not in the Murphy-Lacey-McHugh-Boyle(x2) tier for us, but definitely the next one underneath. Brilliant player who'll go down as a Donegal legend.

It's a shame he wasn't five years younger, as the new rules are made for someone like him who excelled at coming out on the loop and shooting long range. Injuries definitely took their toll, both on him and on us. We were shaping up so nicely in 2018 in Bonner's first year when McBrearty suffered the cruciate injury in the Ulster Final after a brilliant campaign to that point, and we'd no one to pick up the slack in his place. Not saying we'd have won it, but we'd have put up better shows against Dublin and, in particular, Tyrone, when our relatively weak bench killed us down the stretch. 

You must be joking! Apart from Murphy I'd have McBrearty on a par with any of those players. Donegal must think they can take the All Ireland next year so can only be injury has forced this. 

Yeah, it was injury.

On the other point, to me, Murphy and Lacey are the two best players to ever come out of Donegal, with Martin McHugh close behind. Manus Boyle gave star performances in multiple All Ireland wins at various age levels (it's not like we have many). Tony Boyle was a brilliant all-round forward.

I just don't think McBrearty's body of work is quite at their level. To me, he's in the group with Adrian Sweeney, Kevin Cassidy, Frank McGlynn, Barry McGowan, Anthony Molloy, Colm McFadden, Brendan Devenney etc., some of them very talented and consistent, some extremely talented but more patchy.

Just my amateur opinion.

I see the dear leader put out a heartfelt tribute to Rob Reiner that was so classless and repugnant that even some Republicans are tut-tutting!

Meanwhile, three months ago, people were getting fired from their jobs for social media posts legimitately criticizing Charlie Kirk's rhetoric.

Sorry whitey, but there's no equivalency or equal level of disgrace. While i've stated multiple times that I think people who've served sentences for violent crimes should absolutely be held and handed over even where ICE doesn't have a judicial warrant (and they are in some places with other sanctuary policies), they are still free to pick the convicts up the second they walk out through the prison gates. It's not like ICE under Biden and Obama weren't targeting criminals either. The issue is that under Trump they're going after all kinds of law-abiding people who've been here for years, paying taxes and living blameless, productive lives, literally abducting them out of their jobs and personal lives without warning.

But to get back to the serious offenders you're focussed on, is an illegal immigrant who is also a convicted murderer or rapist more dangerous to the community than a citizen or someone else who is permitted to be in the country? If a citizen with such a history moves in next door, should we be less concerned than we would be if they were an illegal immigrant?  What percentage of rapists and murderers who have served their time are illegal immigrants?
