@RonanMullen Enjoy, Ronan!

@lilycogan Well done Lily. And your parents. Their votes spoke loudly!

@KeithMillsD7 Changing leaders is insufficient. Many, with knives, wait in the wings. But no change in direction. Both parties rid themselves of their values. Over decades.
And, for those who remember SF’s murderous wing, few options remain. Independents? They, too are misnamed.

My only hope is that CC will prove, quickly, to be so unhinged that, in a very short time, our statesmen and women, will call a halt.
But then , I think of McDowell and how far he has plummeted. Martin? Harris? Oh dear!

When did RTE stop doing satire? So much material. That, at least, was a safety valve for us - faced with the utterly pathetic, transparent, arrogant, disassociated nonsense our political parties present as … continuity? I fear that even this debacle won’t be a watershed.

[Carvill John @JohnJCarvill]

Interesting that there’s not a word about this in the mainstream media. We’re facing into an irreparably undermined presidential election. Undermined by holders of the offices of Taoiseach and Tánaiste. Both should resign.

If you intend to spoil your vote and enter the name of another candidate, #spoilthevote, turn your voting paper upside down first. That may help tally wo/men get an accurate breakdown of the people’s preferences.

@hynesalan F. Murray Abraham was superb. He deserved the Oscar for his performance.

[Gerry Kane @GerryKane1]

@davidjthunder Except MacDowell. He is a. Consummate experienced politician. Or was. He will recover from this. But he has been revealed as shallow. Sad.

Ryder Cup. Patrons? Vulgar partisans. Sad to see.

[Gerry Kane @GerryKane1]

And it worked. McElroy shattered today. Going through his (excellent) paces. But mentally and spiritually diminished. Congratulations USA. Your way works.

[Gerry Kane @GerryKane1]

So sad to see the darkly negative side of USA culture come to the fore at the Ryder Cup. Sport becomes war. Winning the only goal. Braggadocio triumphs.
Trump is not an isolated phenomenon. The decline is culture-wide. Sad to see its inevitable decline.

@OllieHolt22 I don’t agree. He winds them up for support. He silences them out of respect for his opponents.

[Gerry Kane @GerryKane1]

@john_mcguirk If this is provably true, it diminishes one of the few statesmanlike politicians we had to a sulking petulant child. It also, if untrue, exonerates a closed civil war elite from further examination. Either way, I hope, perhaps vaguely, that it can be examined.

With nominations closed, this story can now be told. How Senators Michael McDowell and Aubrey McCarthy emerged as the nemeses of the Steen campaign:

@EoinLenihan Very strange - how did they manage to be chosen, vetted (by which authorities?), and transported? A curious silence surrounds those issues.

@DavQuinn There’s a tell in the article, stating full abortion rights were only achieved recently. An honest, if covert and unintended, admission that abortion is really regarded as a form of contraception.

[Gerry Kane @GerryKane1]

Ordinary people in the USA need to see this. Media manipulation is a part of this crisis.

[Gerry Kane @GerryKane1]

Is any USA mainstream media showing pictures of the famine in Gaza? Ever? PBS? Ever?
We have it every night.
Why?
Media control is an integral part of the current geopolitical power struggle.
