Not that we would ever respect a yank who can't differentiate not supporting genocide vs antisemitism but us being pro Russia is laughable.

Crazy how a face like that and a name like Alexander McCartney will protect you from the fash brigades violence
It was never about protecting women and children.
It was never about rape or the victims.
It is and always was about race.

Declan Ganley is a US military contractor in business with Peter Thiel and Karl Rove. his son Micheál's previous job before "refounding" the Bethlehem Steel Company, was as a staffer for Lindsay Graham. he's a stooge for US interests and should be treated as such

Remarkable result; turnout was higher than last Presidential election. Media deciding that the story is Declan G, Maria S or any other wannabes who didn't get their act together and persuade people to nominate them needs to look at the high spending machine that was behind Heather H #Spéirghorm
Ms Connolly won 63 per cent of the vote, the highest since the office of president was established in 1938.

Fantastic on-the-nose piece about the post election moral panic by the self-reportedly disenfranchised yet, permanently represented in mainstream media shower of lazy whingebags.
Connolly’s landslide buries political myths about Ireland’s presidential process - how the establishment's attempts to explain #Aras25 are fatally flawed from the outset, and who really matters in the aftermath.

Christo-fascists were deeply concerned by Ireland not wanting any part of christo-fascism. Time travel to the 1950s underfunded, no doubt.
AAAARRRGGGHHH!
Turned off the radio again because they’re STILL going on about spilled votes
THERE WAS A CONCERTED CAMPAIGN BY BAD ACTORS TO GET PEOPLE TO SPOIL THEIR VOTES SO *UNSURPRISINGLY* SOME IDIOTS DID AND NOW MEDIA IDIOTS ARE GIVING THOSE BAD ACTORS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED

Just a heads up for the man-baby Donkey Ganley and his relentless whinge about representation.
So much talk about spoiled votes, but virtually zero about the 900,000+ Irish citizens who voted for Connolly and the 15,000 volunteers who campaigned for her - nothing about what they want and represent and hope for.
No, Irish media and politics insist you engage with those who can't be bothered.

Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest.

Fine concession speech from HH in fairness to her. Donkey Ganley and his crybaby whinging about lefties and not accepting of the democratic process is no surprise. Whilst a spoilt vote is a right, a campaign to spoil is despicable.#aras25
