HH digging her grave live on RTE.

Snapping attack dog, interrupting CC is not a good approach, particularly given how her candidacy is pitched as moderate centre.

Oh no. Maybe the same people hacking hedges to pieces every year and carting the logs away to who knows where, presumably with the councils' blessings?

#aras25 first canvass for #catherine this morning & if my small village is anything to go by it's complacency that is Catherine's biggest opponent
It was definitely 60% to Catherine, 10% to heather & 30% to don't care/don't vote
People need to vote because it's not a done deal #speirgorm

No interest in how Israel are behaving in the lands around them, in Occupied Palestine, what they're saying online - just, wait, suspend the pretense of considering sanctions, they're claiming to engage in the ceasefire peace talks. Just killed 6 in Lebanon? Ah, nothing to see here.

"The European Union remains Israel’s largest trading partner.

"The EU-Israel trade agreement should have been fully suspended long ago, yet von der Leyen has chosen complicity over intervention."

The question facing both Ursula von der Leyen, and the EU parliament, is whether more challenges against her will be subject to the law of diminishing returns rte.ie/b/1537947

It's such a stark indication of FFG's cynicism and lack of integrity. No autheniticity, just shady machinations.

"Saying the quiet part out loud doesn’t make it brave; it makes it bleak. It teaches [...] campaigners that integrity is a liability and that reputational violence is a sign of savvy. It tells the public that truth is optional, empathy expendable, and that politics is just performance warfare."

Colin Sheridan: Smear v journalism — One intends to wound, the other to inform

When Ivan Yates went on a widely shared podcast and said he would 'smear the bejaysus out of her', meaning presidential candidate Catherine Connolly, he was injecting the virus, writes Colin Sheridan

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

Trump deployed the National Guard to Portland based on 5-year-old Fox News footage. There was no emergency, just a recycled narrative to justify militarized repression.

Are You Being Lied To? Is Portland "War-Ravaged"? - World BEYOND War

President Trump watched Fox News coverage of riotous protests in Portland, Oregon, and thought: I’ll do something about that. I’ll help out that city, send in the National Guard, and restore…

Yates's words are repulsive enough, but what really turns this up to 11 is his "I'm a very naughty boy" smirk.

Maybe someone should ask Humphreys if she, has president, would hire a notorious bankruptcy tourist.

"I would smear the bejaysus out of her, simply because you've nothing to lose... you've got to create a fear... in my experience, nothing works like negative campaigning."

They're really openly saying the quiet part out loud now aren't they...🤔
