If someone rather than Hillary Clinton had ran against Trump in his first campaign there would not be a word about Trump now…. Her greed for power has left the world with Trump and she still has the cheek to give out about how she lost the presidential election…. She lost it by not doing her work properly during the campaign… she thought it was a gimme ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3463 - 11/02/2025 10:08:53 2590548 Link

Replying To tireoghainabu: "The Democratic Party should hang their heads in shame, not a whimper over mass slaughter of men women and children, but of course some people in this country still don't get it. For the record I detest both parties in American politics with equal measure." Trump and "Bibi" would think nothing of scrapping the peace agreement and laying waste to Gaza. They will look for any opportunity to do this. I'm surprised at the level of support this has in USA. The Palestinians have been kicked around since 1917 and it looks like this will continue! Trump only sees the issue from Netanyahu's eyes, and committed zionists like Jared Kushner, and if he can do a real estate deal in the process, that's enough for him!

Not surprisingly a lot of support in the US for driving out the Gazans (next West Bank) . Expelling people and taking their land was standard practice in North America/US since the 17th Century.

That's some legacy. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14717 - 11/02/2025 14:01:59 2590598 Link
Replying To WanPintWin: "Next is Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal." O make no mistake he is coming after Ireland and bringing back any investment. It's just we are small fry for now. Just watch the smug Trump supporters hide and back flip. Two faced. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2943 - 11/02/2025 14:25:32 2590606 Link

Trump and Netanyahu want to set up reservations for Palestinians in the desert, if Jordan and Egypt don't accept them. Similar to what happened to native Americans a few centuries ago. It's ethnic cleansing, and if Saudi Arabia and rest of Arab countries don't unite, Trump will achieve his goal. American contractors will be in Gaza and West Bank renovating with Trump pocketing billions, with Saudis footing the bill. European leaders are sitting back and doing nothing!

Not too sure that anyone who did happen to move to this utopia ( which just exists in Mr Ts head) would sleep very soundly in their beds. 2 million plus citizens with a burning desire to return to their homeland ?? A breeding ground for insurgency surely ?? It isn't a very well thought out plan. Bibi doesn't give a shit as he has been given Carte Blanche to proceed with the ethnic cleansing of Gaza - if he didn't already have it. That's his overriding ambition. And what happens to the West Bank then. ? Wasn't it an amazing coincidence how Mr T came out first with the Mid Day Saturday deadline ??

I see otb have hit over 1 million views for laughing at Wales rugby. Irish Rugby media really make Irish people look bad internationally Kew (Galway) - Posts: 135 - 13/02/2025 12:47:05 2590830 Link

Great to see close to 30,000 tickets being sold for the Bohs v Rovers LOI game in the Aviva at the weekend. 1st League game of the season for both clubs. Some achievement selling so many tickets for a League game.... It is being very well marketed tbf. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4113 - 13/02/2025 13:22:38 2590835 Link

Our history in the oval ball game is lamentable compared to the Welsh. They have a history of achieving in the game at the highest level, not just in the six nations. Our own efforts minus the three Kiwi stars in the backs and the Aussie Hansen might not be so hectic Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2013 - 13/02/2025 16:26:25 2590858 Link

Since the 5 nations got expanded to 6 we have the same number of titles, only 1 less grand slam and actually we have more Triple Crowns. At the same time to them Rugby is like Hurling, Football, Soccer and Rugby here, all rolled into one. They only have a handful of professional soccer clubs, and nothing like the GAA.

Happy to live off rent and sponsorship. Change to kids admission in Parnell will push attendances well down. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3408 - 13/02/2025 18:48:42 2590881 Link

If you have a cumulative table since the 5 nations became the 6 nations Ireland are top. That's a testament to how well Rugby has been run here since going professional. 6 of the 10 most watched tv programs on last year were rugby games. They certainly know how to hype a show. brianb (Kildare) - Posts: 389 - 13/02/2025 21:03:30 2590889 Link
