The moment Maria Corina Machado receive the news of the Nobel Peace Prize. Gracious and then she states, she is only one of many in her country that has earned it. Can you imagine what Trump would have said? "It was all me, me, me..."

Sleepy, slurry, mini-stroke, scabby-hand, droopy-mouth, obese, Alzheimer's, zig-zag, incontinent Trump will be visiting Walter Reed where they will tell him his latest cheating Golf exploit tells them he is fitter than Bruce Lee.

I absolutely cannot stand Trump. He's pure evil. That said, for the record, he's NOT actually permanently excluded. Google it. He should be banned - but he's currently still not.

If proof was needed media CANNOT be trusted, yesterday #FoxNews produced false reporting that was exceptional. It was a blatant whopper of a lie - and they have told some whoppers before - but this time they really, really went for it. Lebanese flags used and all! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEIC... -

It was great to have @catherinegalway.bsky.social out in Dublin South West.

The choice for the presidential election is now clear.

#Connolly4President has clear momentum and we need to continue getting more people to volunteers on the campaign to keep going for the next 2 weeks!

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.

Here is Michael Martin lying. 6pm RTE news, 7th October. Listen carefully. "We did not know about that specific issue AT ALL". We now know they did - from September 8th exactly.

RTE NEWS tell the FULL truth.

Jeff Rudd 🇮🇪 🇨🇦 🇵🇸 @jeffrudd.bsky.social · 3d

RTE RADIO NEWS IS LYING THIS MORNING (8am). They still stating that Fianna Fáil only knew about Jim Gavin money issue from last Saturday. Fianna Fáil KNEW much earlier (8th September) - despite Michael Martin also stating yesterday on TV air, that they didn't know till Saturday. Lies & more lies...
