Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Over at the other place, the level of fury being directed at Trump over his post on the Reiners' murder is unprecedented. From members of his core support base. An extraordinary own goal. The do-over cannot be far away.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are the most unimaginative and destructive forces in Ireland, between public transport infrastructure and housing they literally don't have a fuckin clue.
They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Leaving Dublin now.
In the departure terminal in one of the shops, I heard a man verbally and xenophobically abusing airport young worker at the till. I told him to stop, he came at me asking what my problem was, backed down, and left.
If you can and you think it's safe, speak up.
No pasarán.

I once did an entire lecture that had something like 40 slides of Roman flying phalluses and the like. Preserve them so other academics can continue in this worthy practice!

The very tone of this statement from Micheál Martin (who hasn’t yet seen/received THAT internal report) illustrates the pressure he’s under - in 16 years leading the party he has never seen fit to issue a statement as defensive and adversarial as this

A court in Moscow said it had upheld prosecution submissions 'to recognize the punk band Pussy Riot as an extremist organization.' After the court's decision, founding member Nadya Tolokonnikova, now living in exile, said she was 'proud' to be labeled 'extremist' by Russia.
