    This is the most trite observation doing the rounds at the moment and it's never accompanied by any further explanation.

    Because who in ****s name is going to take a bunch of pro open borders extremist loons with a balloon the size of an opel corsa who claim they need council permissions to fly this thing 30ft high seriously? You'd have to be suffering a serious mental illness to think of it as some type of 'win', which it would appear many of his detractors suffer from.

    I was never the man's biggest fan but **** me would I hate to be lumped in with the anti Trump brigade. That sends a chill down my spine.

    Have a look at this speech warning Irish manginas to "know your place", openly applauded and cheered on.


    Did this speech occur in Ireland?

    They just don't get it.

    Incidentally, here's one of the most stupid photos you're ever likely to see.

    Protest outside RTÉ over the Eurovision being held in Israel.

    No wonder people think these guys are bat**** crazy.

    That 'check your privilege' nonsense is not going to wash in this country. Whatever privilege we as Irish people have was hard fought for by our parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc.

    You'd think that, but its more and more prevalent in our university's these days. You ask the average fat blue haired feminists who hangs around the SU about your privilege you won't be long getting both barrels of nonsense. Unfortunately this is where it begins and spreads into society. Look at the US, UK or Aus it's like a cancer.

    100% agree. This about sums it up:


    sjws.jpg


    The 'Late Night Comedy' one is particularly annoying as I used to love watching American chat shows. Ferguson and Letterman in particular, but Leno also. The latter two had political jokes and guests that would have some also but there was balance. There's a level of dismissal of the other side which I've never seen before.

    Letterman was a liberal, and clearly voted democrat, but he didn't use The Late Show as a soap box nor did he let guests grandstand the way Colbert does and if they tried to, he'd make fun of them, even if they were expressing views he was in agreement with. Had Bill O'Reilly regular to ensure that balance even though he never agreed with one thing he said.

    Fallon has done the same with The Tonight Show. Never really liked Leno but he knew there was a line was when it came to politics and that the show was there to entertain the whole country and not just the side that voted democrat. SNL another show which had historically tried to be impartial and lampoon politicians on either side but they to have made the show unwatchable the last few years.

    Conan is about the only show now I'll watch as it is the only American late night show that gets the balance right. He'll have Trump jokes but funny ones and not overly political. Travesty that he was robbed of the Tonight Show.

    There was a protest at the GPO over the weekend, where a Palestinian woman said white Irish need to understand/check their privilege.

    It doesn't matter to parts of the left that you say as long as you are on the rung of hierarchy of victimhood.

    I personally would have thought standing particularly in front of the GPO it was a very bold statement but telling people who are supporting you to the possible detriment to their own economy to check their privilege is fairly ****ed up and smacks a bit of racism.

    There’s always some mad protest or other going on at the GPO. People just take no notice of them really. They tend to be pretty niche protests attended by very few people and often are just a single loon talking into a megaphone.

    You don't like the term illegal immigrant? Fine illegal alien is more accurate and I know people like you get more upset by it so I'll use it from now on.

    Another well educated trump supporter reply.

    An illegal immigrant is someone here illegally. A person who is here as an asylum seeker isn't here illegally & are not illegal immigrant or illegal alien. An asylum seeker is perfectly legal here in Ireland till they are either granted asylum or sent home.

    If you don't have a dictionary in your house you can look up the meaning of words on the Internet. Internet can be a learning toolkit & doesn't always have to be used for negative hate speach and porn. :)

    You haven't been watching the news when presidents & Royal family or even the pope visit Ireland over the last 25 or 30 years so. There have been large protests at them all & well covered. Even the well liked presidents like Clinton and Obama had a lot of protesters and well covered. There will always be someone protesting for an American president because American is always at war and because we have plains with weapons using Shannon Airport.

    The problem with trump is that he always has to comment on the protesters giving the protesters twice the publicity. Trump will argue that there were little or no protesters forcing the media to fact check him & show the size of the crowd again. Everyone else from Clinton to the Queen never mention the protesters that seems to follow them around the world

    The vast majority may well turn out to be bogus. I don't know that but lets run with that. Bogus or not they are asylum seekers. They come to Ireland looking for asylum. They are not illegal. They are illegal if they stay after their asylum has been refused, though they usually get deported then anyway. If they stay after their asylum has been refused then they are no longer asylum seekers. They then become illegals. The person in the link provided is an asylum seeker & not an illegal.

    Probably going to be an unpopular opinion but I think the collapse of religion has led to this kind of thing.

    Religion gave people a sense of belonging, a common belief with lots of other people, it formed part of your identity.

    Now there is a void and people need to be identified and feel like they belong somewhere else. There really is a massive amount of people who jump at any chance to go out holding a banner.

    I don't encounter these anti-Catholic Islam apologists. Anti religion sure, I'm anti-religion myself, and you encounter more extremism in Islam than in Catholicism these days. However the catholic church retains an outrageous level of influence in Ireland, especially in education, so that really is something to shout about.

    Trump protests are a little fashionable or something, as much as a disaster that he is. British people protesting changes to abortion laws he is involved with seems a little bit uninformed or hypocritical when the laws in NI are so restrictive.

    That was dumb, indeed. The reason why Irish people support Palestine is precisely because we have a history that’s not quite the same as many other Western European nations. As the Palestinian ambassador recently opined. Northern Irish people see the settlements there as similar to the Irish plantations.

    I’m relatively pro Palestinian but if you are going to import American **** then I’m out of it. Palestinians can take their cause to the US and good luck with that one.

    The irish situation is commonly referred to be Palestine and Irish people alike but it's in no way the same.

    Sinn Fein had a goal and would stop killing if they got Ireland back.

    Ireland is also nothing like the middle east where territories constantly were constantly taken over by different groups/religions and all those relgious nutters claim to this day they belong on that land.

    The Hamas charter states that even if they get what they want, they won't stop sending missiles to Israel and they won't ever recognise them as a country. And as long as Hamas are in power there backed by Palestineans, I can't back Palestine.

    The whole Irish view of Palestine comes about because Palestine fluttered their eyelashes at us and told us we're heros and that we're an inspiration. This made the Irish feel good so they couldn't not say good things back.

    Totally agree with this. Problem is mainland citizens know very little about Northern Ireland. In fact Brexit has shown how little UK politicians know about Northern Ireland. Even ministers have shown ignorance.

    That be a good yank slogan is not cool. Dunno how much anti American sentiments characterise the trump protests but they shouldn't be tolerated any more than similar things against other nationalities. Aside from it being ****ty behaviour, it undermines anti-Trump messages. Also the USA is very definitely our friend, and we benefit from disproportionate influence on the country and investment from them. shockingly arrogant to see it any other way.

    Well please return to school and learn to spell. Please understand also that when groups of people leave their country for the hope of asylum, they are supposed to look for it in the country they land in.... not jump through countries until they find the safest and best paying welfare system....
