There's a special type of person who is interested in politics, yet doesn't have a clue about a country is ran; the concept of difficult decisions, limited budgets, human foibles, institutional inefficiencies, and so on. They also don't seem to realise they live in one of the best, fairest, and safest countries in the world. So these hugely naive, idealistic, and slightly stupid people believe that handing the keys of the kingdom over to a bunch of murderers, smugglers, rent dodgers, anti-vaxxers, and kiddie fiddlers would be a good idea. Despite the North showing SF are about as much use as a cock flavoured lollipop at running a country. It's dangerous populism, Yurt, and people are falling for it. FG are a true Republican party, and are the last line of defense against a sinister group who can't even bring themselves to give the country it's correct title.

I'd imagine to the casual reader it wouldn't be The Brenner, or, indeed, myself being accused of being angry, emotional, and incoherent. You shouldn't let politics make you this angry. Some of that energy could be used to actually join a party or something. Some friendly advice for you there, dude.
Yurt! wrote: » Johnny, yourself and your pal Brendan (who I'm not convinced isn't a multi of yours) spend an inordinate amount of time slating people and anyone you perceive to be political opposition. You are among one of the most ill-tempered and passive aggressive posters on this forum. And that takes some going. Dude. If you're trying to convince people reading this you don't spend large parts of your day foaming at the mouth hammering at your keyboard and tilting at poltical windmills, you're doing a poor job. (Did I forget to say dude in keeping with you're silly little boards patios?)
JohnnyFlash wrote: » Brendan and I are not the same poster, have never met, and just happen to have broadly similar political views - centrists, no nonsense, able to cut through populist bullshít, believe hard work should be rewarded, able to spot vested interests, and people engaging in the dark arts of soapboxing. That annoys Shinners, as they don't like the slate of that party being lifted so people can examine the various slugs and creepy-crawlies slithering around underneath the thin veneer of respectability they put on. The nonces, the serial killers, the police killers, the smugglers etc.

He was appointed as Attorney General in June 2017 on the nomination of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, at the formation of the 31st Government of Ireland, succeeding Máire Whelan. At the time of his appointment, he was active with Fine Gael in Dublin Bay North.[15] He was seen by ministers to be a trusted adviser to Varadkar.[19]
Woulfe briefly returned to practice at the bar in June 2020 following the end of his period as Attorney General.[36] In July 2020, he was nominated by the Government to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court of Ireland that had been left following the retirement of Mary Finlay Geoghegan.[36] Taoiseach Micheál Martin said his appointment was recommended by the Judicial Appointments Advisory Board and had not been part of government negotiations.[37] Woulfe informed Leo Varadkar in February 2020 that he would apply to the JAAB for a Supreme Court position.[38] He was appointed on 23 July 2020 and made his judicial declaration the following day in the Supreme Court.[39][40]
