"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Me neither. But at least the orange gobshite is annoyed.

Grown men come up to me. Big tough WAR-FIGHTERS with tears in their eyes, and they say, "Sir, it's all a fake. You won the prize. Totally RIGGED!!! SO SAD!!!!"

True, but it didn't benefit the lender.

Pretty good deal. Loan deferred for 15 years. No interest. No inflation adjustment.

So Jim Gavin has paid back €3,300.

That's not a bad deal, is it?

A loan deferred for 15 years at zero interest and without adjustment for inflation.

What bank would offer that?

We don't live in such a world.

Luckily, our system doesn't allow any president to do much harm so I'll also probably vote for Catherine Connolly, but we need to get real about neutrality.

The failing NOBEL Committee just gave a fake Peace Prize to someone who’s done NOTHING! Everyone knows I brought historic peace deals like nobody ever saw before, stopped 427 wars, and kept the world SAFE!!! The vote was RIGGED — just like the others! Total disgrace!!! SAD!!!

I understand and respect the fact that Catherine Connolly believes we should be neutral.

But has anyone told Putin?

I'm reasonably happy with the shake-up in RTÉ.

Overbearing bully Joe Duffy is gone.

Vacuous airhead Ray Darcy is gone.

Lightweight Cormac Ó hEadhra will soon be gone.

Kieran Cuddihy might be a solid addition if he can learn to stop saying "thee" when he means "the" and "ae" when he means "a".

It can't be long before Trump starts whining that the Nobel vote was rigged.

What is an internationalist?

Almost as if some kind of racists are behind the vote-spoiling campaign.

This agreement, while providing welcome respite for starving genocide victims, will not last.

Once Netanyahu has his hostages and after Trump gets his Nobel dopamine rush, the Israeli Einsatzgruppen will be rested and ready to resume their mass extermination of Palestinian Untermenschen.

Watch.

You could award him a Bellend Prize and he still wouldn't know what it is.

If Trump doesn't get his peace prize then suddenly, overnight, they'll become the Woke, Radical Crazy Left Nobel Committee.

A taxi driver in Slovenia once threatened to kick me out of his vehicle for mentioning Melania.

If the Houthis attacked an American boat in international waters and imprisoned the passengers, what do you think would happen?

Jim Gavin says he's ready to pay back the money he owes.

In 2010 he owed €3,300.

At a compound interest rate of 4%, and adjusted for inflation, that comes to €7,800.

Which figure is Jim planning to pay back?

Watching the videos from Pam Bondi's Senate hearing, it's hard to escape one basic question.

Is it normal to appoint a petulant 15-year-old adolescent as US Attorney?

In what sense are massively profitable fast-food chains that drive obesity part of the hospitality sector?
