It was obviously too much for him to criticise anything to do with the Religion of Peace so he invented some spurious wittering about climate change.

Basically you didn't know anything about the mans financial dealings (which are widespread public knowledge by the way) so you accused another poster of having a weird obsession, wasting his time digging and investigating information that was in the news only recently.
You're displaying pride in your own ignorance.
My water cooler conversations or general news reading patterns don't generally consist of obsessing about what politicians sold their house lately, but that's just me.
And I doubt knowledge of MDH's financial dealings are 'widespread'. 99 percent of people don't give a sh*t he sold his house.
Perhaps it may stick in the mind of obsessives, but that's about it I'm afraid.
Why are you in this thread if you don't want to read it?😂
I see on Twitter Saoirse McHugh pointing out she was evicted with her family for complaining about a leaking roof and expressing a normal incredulity at TDs and Ministers upset at MDH calling it as it is.
I love how conservatives are never aware enough to see that ranting about "virtue signaling" is just the conservative virtue signaling.
Tell me some of my "right wing" viewpoints so. You're too cool to read news articles about the president, but stalk posters on Boards?
Can I be invited to your next water cooler convo?
Don't flatter yourself Ush. Nobody is arsed stalking you.
Christ, your research into your case studies is as extensive as your political nous.
So because you're not up to date on news and current affairs anyone who is must be an obsessive?
The private sale of a house in 2019 is real bleeding-edge current affairs alright.
It's fully relevant to the context of this thread though isn't it?
You're basically saying "I didn't know anything about this so it mustn't be important"
...
If it wasn't for the fact that he keeps on pushing for more and more people to be brought into this country and housed then you might have a point. He's an extremely wealthy man with multiple properties who thinks he's above the rest of us. The guy grew up without an arse in his trousers and yet has the most effete snobbish fake accent I've ever heard. A male modern day political version of Hyacinth Bucket.
How many is 'multiple properties'? Genuine question by the way.
Play the ball and not the man.
Again, you are displaying a pride in your ignorance. A common trait in people with an exaggerated sense of their own importance.
Given the public mood and the absolute disconnect between the govt spokespeople and the public I think the thread should be renamed “Disaster signaling Michael D triggers the right wing libertarian loons again”.
Like normal well-adjusted people give a crap if someone sells a house and actually retains that information in their head. It's not exactly a Woodward & Bernstein level news item is it?
Obsession, by Calvin Klein.
Higgins has no place whatsoever in getting involved with this. Crazy stuff. It's shocking but of comedy value too considering he was part of the establishment for so long that failed the working people of the country.
How many Ukranians did Michael and Sabina take into their many properties around the country? Who is in the spare room in the Aras?
A spoofer of the highest order.
Again, what's 'many properties'?
Trying to sate my curiosity, it appears he has a family home in Galway and an apartment in Dublin.
Is this what 'many' passes for these days? And 'around the country' apparently is Dublin and Galway.
Not exactly real estate mogul territory is it?
"A yankee web Encyclopedia" - utterly ignorant of how Wikipedia works. My goodness. Rest of your arguments in the bin with that one, please.
Higgins should keep his mouth shut. People didn’t elect him so that he could pontificate to any nation or regarding their issues or policy… it’s not his job…absolutely no business saying what he did… or expressing the opposite contradictory opinion on the situation….just be quiet and just do the job for Ireland which you’ve been elected to do and we are paying you to do…NOTHING else.
Well he said it. And it's made certain eye-twitchers mad, so it's a good day's work from the Prez in my book.
How many refugees did he take in? Or is that just for the plebs?
What are you asking me for?
Hardly, acting outside of his democratic remit to influence a government which he IS doing is poor show…
set a precedent for that you might have someone on the opposite spectrum of your political beliefs and you’ll have to hold your whist and let them get on with the same…
Its a simple question bud.
So has he plunged us into a constitutional crisis? Or do we just acknowledge that the Presidency has evolved since the days of 'Thundering Disgrace' and the cabinet bullying a meek President.
If the government have their knickers in a twist about his comments, someone should double dare them to go public with it. They'll come off the worse with it given the gravity of the underlying issue.
Higgins said nothing wrong and he's entitled to say what he said. He never made commentary directly on government policy so the eye-twitchers can suck it up.
If the housing situation gets sorted and the Govt of the day are doing a good job, i cant see the president at the time getting any flack for stating its a good thing
You're not my bud and I don't have a clue, nor am I particularly interested.
You're the one obsessing about the man's "property empire". Which consists of an apartment and a family home.
