    Going after the bar is mental, even for this lot. Who do they think they will be able to install as stooges in the courts if they don't allow either graduation or admittance for new lawyers?

    And a black eye to go with it, which he said was from one of his children.

    The really fun rumour is that he has a thing with Stephen Millers wife, and he isn't too happy with it.

    The fcuking state of this.

    This man is mentally the most fragile individual to ever hold the office. Nothing he has done since he came to power in January has been in the slightest way insightful or impressive.

    Every day he posts like this, I've less and less respect for those who applaud him. He was a naked emperor in his first term, he's worse this time.

    “[Biden’s] been a sort of moderate person over his lifetime,” Trump said. “Not a smart person, but a somewhat vicious person, I will say. If you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry, because he's vicious. What he did with his political opponent and all of the people that he hurt—he hurt a lot of people, Biden, so I really don't feel sorry for him.”

    It'll be a great day when this cünt is 6 feet under and nobody has to hear from him ever again.

    Ok, so arrest him

    Trump wants to wage war on Mexico and Canada because of the drugs trade. If Musk has been illegally abusing narcotics. Arrest him.

    They are about to spend the salary of 3 teachers on figuring out who you are and how to deny you access to the country.

    A war between Miller and Musk might be funny to watch, but I fear it will have a lot of 'collateral damage'

    The MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) report by RFK's Health Department has created new kinds of fakery: references to non-existent articles.

    https://www.politifact.com/article/2025/may/30/MAHA-report-AI-fake-citations/

    How they thought they were ever going to get away with this beats me:they must be dumb as rocks, the lot of them.

    Came across this clip of Biden's speech to-day. He doesn't sould like the senile idiot that MAGA (and others ) have been going on about. Whan I contrast him with the idiotic ramblings of his successor …….

    And this is from a man who has just had such a terrifying diagnosis. What a contrast to TACO man.

    It will be a great day when somebody says that to his face. Honestly, why are people so spineless ? I think if it was this country he’d get a lot more abuse. I was just watching the clip of him and Musk in the Oval Office, where he repeated the lie about transgender mice (honestly, how stupid would you have to be to give that credence for even a nano second) and I was just wishing someone would just shout out “that’s a lie, you big fat liar”. I know the person would lose their press pass, but damn it would be glorious, and worth it.) The questions the press ask him are so bloody useless. Not one journalist trying to hold him to account to his face.

    Trump gone mental again. He has just put 50% tariffs on imported Steel and Aluminium. Up from 25%.

    That's US construction in the toilet now. No American construction company can afford US steel.

    And yet Christians think he's righteous and a certain amphibian thinks he's hilarious. A mean spirited, bitter husk of a person. I actually wish him good health and many more years in the hope that he might come to some realisation and feel some kind of remorse and shame. Unlikely I know...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,439 ✭✭✭Wolf359f


    It's not that they can't afford it, it's that the US simply doesn't produce enough of it.

    All these factories they will be building and the screws for the millions of workers to screw into an iphone are gonna get more expensive. I wonder if Nissan stock got a bump, lol!

    Measles is spreading because rfk Jr will not recommend public vaccination of children and other people as he,s a weirdo anti vaxxer ..He,s going to be responsible for the deaths of 1000s of people He now recommends that only people over 60 get the covid vaccine He is going against all medical doctors and experts who say everyone should get the covid booster every year Children are especially vulnerable to long covid .It's not in the news but 100s of people get covid every month .This is serious in America as insurance companies will no longer have to pay the cost of vaccines .

    Rfk Jr is a disaster for being the person in charge of public health policy . Doctors are leaving America and going to Canada as they feel America is now ruled by extreme conservatives

    FWIW, measles are spreading because of the idiocy of local folks. Vaccination rates in Texas plummeted from 96% to 94% 2019-2022 before starting a slow regain, it's not really related to RFK.

    Does Ireland recommend the covid vaccine for healthy people under 65? As far as I was aware, most, if not all , European countries had already moved to similar recommendations years ago. Literally none of my young nieces and nephews in Ireland were ever advised to get the covid vaccine, and none of them did. None of my family or anyone I know have had boosters for years now and dont even think about it. But it's terrible when the US brings in similar guidelines ? Aren't you worked up about the situation in Ireland since it's the same?

    Measles is spreading in Ireland too BTW, probably at a higher rate per capita than the US 😱 I don't think 5 months or less of the current health secretary makes much difference to the rates tbh considering the outbreaks in the US have originated and been spreading (very slowly) for years now

    Martial problems? Are they withering on about suspending habeas corpus again?

    Or is he some type of BJJ black belt like Musk?

    Some people are saying Air Force One is being renamed "Panda Express", due to the orange chicken on board ....

    Long term, do you think it's good that the health secretary is effectively anti vaccine? Research into vaccine hesitancy has been cut and similar is expected to happen to mRNA vaccine research.

    You're right that measles outbreaks have been a thing for years in Ireland, However the USA had effectively eliminated it by the year 2000. People who then worked against that were the likes of RFK who promoted the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism. He may not have been the health secretary then but he is now so I'd find it bizarre not to be concerned about public health.

    Meanwhile he's promising to find the dreaded cause of autism while already caught out making up research, so pretty sure that'll jump back to blaming vaccines.

    I think you're incredibly naive if you don't view RFK to be incredibly dangerous for public health in the US. Imagine if COVID had kicked off with him as health secretary and the CDC defunded...

    In the last 24 hours hours, research into HIV vaccines has been cut... This is probably a mix of administration homophobia and vaccine conspiracy theories but all is fine.

    It looks like that twerp Navarro is behind Trump's statement. The ideas don't originate in Trump's head, they're planted there in fertile soil, planned to leave him with the impression that he's the boss, the force to be reckoned with where it comes to trade deals while the "THEY" he never mentions get richer from the turmoil. He's so used to others doing his bidding that he's weakening the premise behind the US presidency and the US in the process.

    His good friend Putin would never allow subordinates behave like that and live to enjoy the profits and that shows the difference between them.

    100s. Of people in America get covid every week theres a new variant now that is more contagious than last year Many people might choose to not get a vaccine if it costs 198 dollars as insurance company will no longer pay for a vaccine that's not recommended by the health secretary . Imagine if we had a health minister in Ireland that did not recommend vaccines in the middle of a measles outbreak There would be uproar . Rfk Jr thinks autism is caused by processed food or a bad diet Rfk Jr cites research papers that don't exist that look as if chatgtp made em up . Having rfk Jr as health secretary is like putting a 60 year old nun in charge of the new sex education program The trump government is run by grifters or weirdos who believe In conspiracy theorys The measles has spread in America fron a religious group who do not believe in vaccines The only way to stop it is to have widespread general free vaccination in schools and medical centers The new beautiful bill has to pass the Senate 4 republican voters are against it because it increases debt by ,4 trillion dollars and will close down local rural hospitals who depend on Medicaid payments to pay the bills . Its like up is down black is white government officials are spreading conspiracy theorys and refusing to promote vaccines against measles

    I feel sorry for the ordinary Americans who are going to be affected by this sh1t show that’s the administration are pursuing but they did vote for him despite having 4 years previously.

    It’s like police federations complaining about Trump pardoning all the J6 rioters when they all backed Trumps campaign.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,513 ✭✭✭thereiver


    If I got on a plane and they say pay 1 euro. And we guarantee we won't crash or lose all your luggage I,d pay one euro the covid vaccine is free at your local chemist I can,t think of a logical reason not to get vaccinated every year .

    So what are your thoughts on RFK’s anti-vax rhetoric, his policies, his contestant lies, etc? You seem to go out of your way to avoid criticizing these people.
