This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Can you answer a question David, Katie, anyone…now that Hutch is out will the Spanish authorities require him to go back to answer charges against him? And assuming he won’t return voluntarily, how will that happen? Euro arrest warrant, extradition? @mcculld.bsky.social @katiehannon.bsky.social

I love an Irish General election. You can keep Jake Tapper striding through a VR map like a Colossus. I don't want Wolf Blitzer using a touchscreen to show voter turnout.
Give me a frazzled RTE reporter coming live from a playschool in Offaly watching votes being added with a pencil for two weeks.

I'm not a Timmy Dooley fan but putting library terrorist Mike Loughrey in his place is spot on here. Loughrey who's an English immigrant bigot based in Galway is running for Clare in the GE. He received 127 votes in the LE earlier this year. Debate hosted by @ClareEcho @clarefmradio.bsky.social

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

Attending an event in ATU Sligo on Saturday and would appreciate any recommendations for somewhere to eat after (guessing mid/late afternoon), before heading back to Ennis. Bonus points if there’s an EV fast charger in the vicinity. Thanking you!
