Have those 10 Senators who were threatening legal action actually gone and done something rather than mouthing from the ditch?

The drivel is coming from them, as the constitutional position is clear. Only a new Taoiseach can make the nominees. As per usual, you are concentrating on some minor presentational point rather than the substantive issue of there being no government.

Pathetic stuff indeed.

Really?

SF have been asking people NOT to share a video of a teenager getting stabbed in Cork. That SF TD has had many many posts calling him out as a 'traitor against Ireland'. Reap what you sow Francie.

The reds under the bed again.

It is a well established fact that nation states have weaponised social media platforms.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/10/17/russian-iranian-twitter-trolls-sent-10-million-tweets-fake-news/

The data from Twitter showed Russian and Iranian internet trolls sent more than 10 million Tweets in an effort to spread disinformation and discord in the West, including a day-long blitz on the day of the Brexit vote.

Russian “troll factory” the Internet Research Agency and a separate group of Iranian hackers used networks of Twitter accounts to spread divisive information, according to a new database released by the social network.

But if you want to bury your head in the sand, as what you normally do when the truth is a little bit too complicated, intellectual and messy, then fine.

Nice attempted divert.

I don't think the 'drivel' comment was being directed at the 10 senators...rather at the spin-terrier spinning so hard she got dizzy.

Regina has said leo isn't the Taoiseach. Yet you're going on about senators. Go figure.

Did she really?

He is the caretaker Taoiseach, he doesn't have governmental power to legislate, so is he really the Taoiseach?

He is continuing in office in a caretaker capacity.

I know it is Sinn Fein policy to hide the fact that they are doing nothing by saying the Taoiseach is still in place, but we are where we are because of the abysmal failure of Mary-Lou to persuade even one party to enter into serious coalition discussions with her.

Yes...twice.

In her efforts to spin him out of blame she said it...twice. To the amusement of everyone in the studio including the presenter.

Regina no doubt is of the opinion...if it's good stuff 'he is the Taoiseach', if it's bad, 'shure he's not the Taoiseach'

Don't get so het up blanch, it wasn't serious it was just more cringe inducing funny.

She did really, and asked to clarify she doubled down on it, and clarified multiple times that Leo wasn't the Taoiseach according to her.

You first tried to put the conversation towards the senators, now it's the shinners.

You're only codding us about being a green I reckon.

Don’t make me laugh.

Then again, when you support a party with anti-vaxxers, 5G conspiracy theorists and probably flat-earthers among its TDs, then Twitter might well be a source of incisive opinion.

That's FG for you.

Your link does not say anything about people refusing to work and getting welfare. Another effort at a red herring/rabbit hole to dodge a topic.

Do you want to house them that need it, working or not, sick or old, in state owned properties or in luxury apartments leased for 25 years? These are your options.

Leos speechwriter is not "the government", I'm ripping the piss out of the constant movie quotes, your failure to be able to separate the two things says it all tbh.

Leo is like Danny DeVito in Twins. He uses song lyrics to win over because he lacks sincerity.

Varadkar: "I'm never gonna give you up. I'm never...gonna let you down."

A 'full' member even though he is not. OK thanks for clearing that up.

I would imagine he even gets to cast a vote on closed door party votes.

Your posts come across as a little unhinged at times.
Maybe he also casts votes for SF and FF too, you just never know.

I swear, FG could be in opposition, and you will still have our resident SF three amigos giving out about how FG didnt sign some bill into law.

Try using PBP or the SD's instead of SF to derail and dodge for FG, you'll get the same responses. You throw up whataboutery using SF people will dismantle your efforts. Try using another party, same result. It might be comfortable and cosy to think it's pro SF, but it's really calling out the shenanigans of FG. All you have to do is read over the thread. FG get criticised, some chap uses SF for whataboutery and those criticising FG explain why the whataboutery is limp at best.

People are fearful and dying during a pandemic and Varadkar gets his speeches from Netfilx ffs...

You can say what you want Francie, but in this instance your post count is proof enough one who posts and posts and .....

Oh, and I see you avoided my last post directed at you.

My post count has nothing to do with anything.

Same guys and gal come on to defend FG, even to the point of denying something was said, when anyone with ears can hear it was said twice. Hilarious stuff about a not very serious incidence of FG cringe. But it has to be defended zealously.

If your last post was directed at me, your aim ain't too good. I have no idea what it has to do with me.

Of course it does, if you are using the argument that my frequency of posting has something to do with anything. You are the grand wizard of posting on anything FG or SF. They are just the facts of the matter.

I have no idea what it has to do with me.

Of course it doesnt :rolleyes:

If the debate gets a bit too factual it never has anything to do with you.

It isn't your 'frequency' I was talking about. It is the consistency of your appearance when FG have to be defended along with specific other posters.

And I still have no idea what in that post was relevant to me in particular.

You are bitching about poster criticising FG on a FG thread.
If I saw you doing it on threads about other parties then I would say you are defending all parties...but you aren't...here you are, again, scolding about it on a FG thread again.

Criticism, of the serious and light hearted variety.

Bishop of hope

Leo has won new fans and won over a SF voter after his late late show appearance.
Much criticised by some, but it seems most were happy, even converted by his performance.

Take a break Francie and save your energy, I am sure there will be someone along shortly with a Tweet that will merit much talk about what FG are doing trying to destory the country or, the favourite one of all, selling it to DoB.

Tweets 'bad' when FG get criticised...good when somebody else gets it.

I think its a bit of a joke, but this is Dublin City Council who are controlled by FF, Labour, SD's and the Greens.

FG has not had a say in DCC for years now, as the last crowd to control the council were SF and the PBP crowd.

In other words, zero, nada and nothing to do with FG.

Not so. We hear this a lot but FF/FG are very strong on the councils.
This is South Dublin County Council who look after Donnybrook.

FG: 8
FF: 8
IND: 7
SF: 5
GP: 4
LAB: 1
SD: 1
SOL.: 1
PBP: 1

Some facts there now. That said, LA's are working under The Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, unless this is one of these times a minister isn't responsible for their job? No worries, the FG strong council are there.

Before you decide the facts make this nothing to do with you:

Dublin City Council: For all my Boardsie chums who like to use the LA's to defend government policy...

FF: 11
FG: 9
GP: 9
SF: 8
PBP: 2.

So not PBP not SF running it, more FG and FF.
