You continue with this mantra when it is abundantly clear that the electorate simply floated back to FF while they were in opposition. The C&S arrangement lost them seats.

Carmelo Helpless Tenant wrote: » Is this the manufactured outrage over that tweet. Another example of a millennial trying to wrench something out of context to justify their phoney outrage. Anyone who is capable of tying their own shoes knows that he was referring to SF IRA but you and many other millennials chose to get outraged because the fashion is to call everyone a nazi these days.

Your millennial talk is just more evidence that if any section of society is in trouble the FG way is to dismiss and deride them. So its low income tax payers and now anyone under 40 youse don't like. I don't think FG know what politicians are supposed to do. I'm not outraged at Hologan at all. I think he's an ejit and I'd not vote for him. What's your view on O'Leary? I think the fact you can't believe people would have a genuine problem with a councilor admiring fascists says more about you.

Holohan's position puts him in direct conflict with what modern parties embrace and they are two areas that will be guaranteed a lot of attention. It also puts a spotlight on SF, even if it's his own personal idiocy at work and it would be detrimental to their social media strategy. They've had a few bum days since the election with other party idiots. Not sure about the other guy's fetish but it doesn't sound like a button pusher at all.

Then when someone stops laughing at your posts long enough to point out the facts that FF lost seats because of the Confidence and Supply Arrangement, you revert to predicting they will lose more because of the coalition. Really? Do you expect that to be taken any more seriously?

McMurphy wrote: » Ahhhh, I remember it now.https://twitter.com/Antcon7062/status/1274036988728008707?s=19 That's correct, and "you never heard of him" then. I asked why that mattered, and did it give any less credence to his tweet? So now you've heard of him, and because it's something positive about All the other covids Simon, he's a hum-dinger of a tweeter? Incidentally, I didn't quote him for this Leo is not the govt, I quoted his tweet in full agreement with him, that while the govt got some things right, it wasn't the time and place for an in joke bet. And I stand over that. Touche indeed Morty. It's a pity you have flat batteries in your irony detector.

Criticism for a "Mean Girls" quote? One is a serious issue that affected thousands of Irish women, and the other is just people getting upset about a quote. If you attach more importance to his tweet on the latter, that says more about you than about him.
Bowie wrote: » It really does. One is a serious issue that affected thousands of Irish women, the other was just covid the number 19, that's a global pandemic. You look completely hypocritical and foolish. Still defending his quote fun. It's not people making it bigger than it was it's you pretending they are so you can justify dismissing it. It was poor taste and inappropriate.

Bowie wrote: » You just spoke on how serious the cervicheck scandal was and then downplayed the seriousness of covid 19 to excuse Varadkars bad taste bet. Was only a joke if you were in on it. It wasn't a joke to lighten the mood as you suggested previously. If you can't understand it was in bad taste and showed a lack of empathy thats cool Blanch. Disappointed and embarrassed by him. Not outraged.
