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

Imagine whinging about a poster linking to Fine Gael tweets on twitter on a Fine Gael thread, you couldn't make it up.

Pretty sure there's a feedback forum where you can start a thread to discuss the merits of getting admins or mods to make a decision on posting links to twitter - or any other source of information that might contain news and information on stuff you don't like.

Falmin hell. :pac:

Here’s the funny thing Randal, and I know you’ll think this is a strange thing.

If I want to look at FG tweets en masse, I’ll go to Twitter.

Now isn’t that the strangest crack you ever heard.

Imagine that!!!

This place turning into TWITTER CENTRAL... folk trawling Twitter for stuff and hoying it up here.

No wonder the lads from the ‘heathery hills’ get so agitated when genuine folk shine a light under the slates and expose pond life that really exists there.

Will kill the thread if these Twitter scrapes continue to take hold and engulf the thread.

Flinging mud against a wall and hoping 2% of it sticks doesn’t hold the interest for too long.

I agree.
Leave Twitter to Twitter.

I’m glad that I’m not the only one sick of the Twitter links.

Yes Mary, you are not ,and I’m sure there’s many more.

Beginning to engulf the threads now,I’m afraid.

Lazy mans way of throwing muck.

Will ruin the thread if the trend continues.

Genuine posters like yourself and meself won’t bother to respond.

First thing that generally happens in a dictatorship, shut down free speech, and media you cannot control.

In Trumpian times it gets shut down by derision and handwaving it away as a conspiracy.

The power swap doesn't like it when they can answer back.

FG flying on twitter again. They're really getting the hang of it now. Great video. I never knew how to walk or make a cup of tea before this.

Who is Dr Alan Dillon?

I thought Dr Maitiu O Tuathail was the celebrity trendy Dr for the likes of that. Did they fall out?

Couldn't be more plain. Anyone defending that and claiming to have the public interest is either very foolish or a liar.

The Village appear to have shot their load, looking less credible with every tweet.

Maybe there is something more, but I get the sense they are bluffing.

Lads here the same, in fairness, they emptied the magazines on this one and achieved nothing as was predicted.

Spaffed the lot at it day after day..............

You're saying the claim was dismissed by Gardai? Care to provide a link?

Garda might be reluctant to investigate, might find themselves on a Tusla report, remember Drew is very much in the FG cohort

Do you have a link to the Garda investigation?

All I know is that a frivolous complaint has been made to Gardai, and that there is no decision to investigate that complaint. You obviously have more inside information, or are you spoofing?

The problem for us blueshirts is deciding on the next leader when that happens. So much talent. Coveney, McEntee, Donohoe, Harris.

Incorrect Randal, merely pointing out in response, the total paucity of the opposition and the lack of willingness to get involved in government.

As Minister Collins said ‘Preferring to sit back and shout from the sidelines.’

All an integral part of the discussion,Randal

I know you may be more used to ‘dictat’ rule from the shadows, but,Randal, openness and transparency are the lynchpins of democracy.

Brendi, what happened yesterday is the surest sign yet that the power swap will try to hold the power no matter what. Even if it means supporting wrong and inappropriate behaviour by once rival parties. Why?

Because the power was all a game, they know they are in the last ditch saloon, if they lose this time that's the end of the power swap.

They are doing what Trump is doing right now, clinging.

McEntee - was reasonable enough in Brexit related stuff in her last gig, woefully out of her depth in Justice. Only got to where she is because her father.

Donohoe is one of the FG crew I actually don't mind, comes across as being a little bit too nice at times, too nice for leader, and I believe he has openly said he doesn't want the job as leader and wouldn't take it.

Harris. He's also woefully out of his depth, covid 18, and he brought the last govt down, enough said.

Coveney, arguably should have been leader last time, but FG decided Leo being mixed race gay son of an immigrant was probably trendier and then imply anyone who mentions that fact is a racist or homophobic.

2/4 of the talent you listed there would finish the party for good as leaders I reckon.

After today's blinder you'd have to wonder if Leo is an undercover shinner. Man is taking down FG from the inside!

You were saying that a few days ago too. Yet, Leo had to explain for two hours to an incredulous Dáil.

I don't think I have ever seen a leader take that much punishment ever. Unprecedented and nobody knows if he'll have to come back for more or not.
