FG to still just do nothing for the next 5 years - part 2

Heads of State tend to meet other Heads of State. It's part of realpolitik and statecraft. Not bedsit idealism.

Anyways, wasn't it Sinn Féin who sent a delegation over to Venezuela to attend the inauguration of Maduro? You can get a free house there as well. Only you can't go to a shop to buy essentials to eat in it.

Why did ffg vote againest this?

Hedging their bets with China. Sure aren't the same lads cosying up to Biden now that he's running.the same lads that schmoozed trump and pence not so long ago. Very very disposable morals.

Complete non story. Beaker Sheehan might write something about it if he’s stuck for something to fill a few column inches and is feeling grumpier than usual.

That's the party line anyway. Same line as the Maria Bailey and countless other cock ups. Remember this next election and yer whinging again about populism and remember this. It's not that one side is populist it's more that the other side are so unpopular, in fact they're detestable.

That kind of posting reminds me of the ‘Chicken Lickin’’ books for 3 to four year olds.

It's eye-opening that the journal,Irish times and indo all ignored the tweet. After the endless gushing articles and posts by their journalists of FG ministers of late I suppose it was depressingly predicable.

Thinking?

I'm pretty sure it's what he tweeted, that's thinking out loud dude.

Leo can think whatever he likes all day long whilst his nuts still hang down dude, it's when he tweets his thoughts on a fairly public platform, such as the twitter machine, he's sharing his thoughts with the rest of us, and they warrant a discussion, on a discussion site.

It's not over convoluted nor complicated to understand Brenner, and it's not obligatory to respond with scutter.

If anyone was wondering that the Indo is now basically part of FFG.

It's not really hard to work out John.

Week 1, there's too many white folk in the civil service.

Week 2, Sinn Fein don't want white, middle class - males votes. (There is a less than subtle insinuation there)

About 12hrs later........

Tweets a lovely photo with best wishes to young Irish black females. (Yet to determine if they're upper/middle or working class mind you)

I thought Enda had a great nack of making complete arsery of things. Leo's in a different league.

It can't even be put down to a spur of the moment brain fart either smurge, it was a carefully planned tweet.

Look at the timeline, he tweeted that a full TEN DAYS, after Ward/Boylans interaction, meaning he had ten days to dwell on it.

And then he tweets this today.

Just to try and balance out last night's disaster.

He's like Sideshow Bob forever standing on garden rakes. I hope he keeps doing what he's doing.
Why was he recently saying that the civil service was too white in Ireland and now coming out with this wolf whistling, saviour of the white middle class stuff? It's a genuinely bizarre turn of events.

Hmmmm. Poorly researched and thought out post John. Second worst election for FG ever.

More further embarrassing genuine people who support FG, (before you ask, 'genuine people' are folk who like FG policies and vote for them, but might go elsewhere if FG doesn't suit their views any longer).

He could leave FG for not being Fine Gaely enough and form his own Tea Party. MIGA etc. Quality.

There must be some meeting going on in the Strategic Communications Unit right now.

They left Marko here like FF left Michael Martin after the crash.

This is the second time in less than a week he's tried to pull the "goalposts shifted" line, and fell flat on his face on both occasions.

He should get in touch with Josepha.

What goalposts are being moved?

I said then irony on your post would be lost on you, can you elaborate please?

Are you back to inventing a point or argument no-one made?

Brilliant. When you run out of argument, throw up something completely unrelated. You're the gift that keeps on giving.:D

Ah, the typical goal post moving move, which is par of the course.

Leo, is Tainaiste and a public representative, thus will use Twitter as one means of communication.
Other nobodies who get outraged at every opportunity are just angry basement dwellers living in their moms house. Hence my Twitterati comment.

When Leo uses it it's a means of communication.
When the public use it it's 'nobodies who get outraged at every opportunity are just angry basement dwellers living in their moms house'.

While I disagree, the quality of Leo's tweet really makes ****e of your argument.

No irony at all.

You are always at great pains to tell us the mood of the nation via the twitter crowd anytime a FG TD does something you do not like.

In reality, most people dont give a flying ****.

Ah, the nobody cares defense. Nice.
It's only a social media thing sure...

As pointed out earlier, it was a tweet comparable to anything Trump might post in the wee hours. Maybe Leo is eyeing a job on Fox news?

We get a lot of FG lads citing twitter and claiming it's a cesspool and the like as if we don't have FG folk posting on it all the time.

They also knock Facebook. Basically anywhere the public get to have a voice must be dismissed. I'd say they miss the days of the biased newspapers and nothing else. They, (government) can't tap the phones of, threaten or follow home every social media user like was done to Journalists for decades.
