It's funny all the ultra intolerant and liberal "tolerant liberals" only accept democratic decisions when it suits them.

It's also pretty telling that they think by attacking the clown that is trump personally all day long, they can think they can ignore the actual reasons people voted for him, and the reasons people distrust them and the media even more than they distrust trump. They and the media think ordinary public are stupid, and don't see what's going on. They are going to be in for an even bigger shock in the next election so.

Why is it not in the news about the Facebook employee complaining that within Facebook they are intolerant to politically right views? They are not neutral to views like they recently claimed to be.

We welcome the fools from the EU all the time. They destroyed this country for years. At least Trump actually employs people in Ireland.

At least he was elected. Leo Varadkar the douchebag was just handed the top job without a single vote from the public knowing he would be put in that position.

Hillary won the popular vote, just to remind you. The US public didn't elect Trump, the Electoral College did. Had it been public vote only, Hillary Clinton would be President now.

Most Irish people will warmly welcome President Trump.

Trump in jail by 2020 is about right. My guess is that his son in law will be there before him though

If by ordinary people you mean those that support or voted for Trump then they probably are stupid. At the very least they are ridiculously gullible. The man is bought and paid for. He is corrupt to the core and using his position to enrich himself, his family and his business partners. He is decimating the environment and civil rights.

All politicians are, some are just a lot more crafty about it than others. The ones that are not very good at covering it up are much better for general public than the ones that are. Also any politician that the media corporations love also sounds massive alarm bells. The last thing that media corporations have to heart is the best interests of the general public.

One thing that is abundantly clear, listening to his interviews through the decades, is that Trump loves his country.


The guy was already incredibly wealthy. The idea that he wanted to become President, to step away from his successful businesses, in order to "enrich himself" is off the wall.

I would like Trump to leave here with a goid memory of us.
He wont if the PBP unwashed throw eggs and abuse at him. Who the **** do they think is going to pay for layabouts dole if the US companies pull out. We need the States more than they need us.
Who does Eamon Ryan represent and how dare he hog the airwaves. His party was thrown out by the Irish electorate. Aodhan O Riordan is almost as bad with twiitter as DT and the sum total of his time in politics amounts to nothing.
Cead Mile Failte Donal, I will lick your golf clubs if it means you will be goid to Ireland. I care about muslims as much as they care about me, its every man and woman for themselves.
I think I would like to move to Saudi for the heat, is there anyway to get in there illegally.

Ronald Reagan had massive protests against him in the UK and Ireland. But they are a footnote to history now. All people remember is the great relationship he had with Thatcher and his pint in Ireland. The same will happen for Trump.

Protesters will be confined to college green. He will have a state reception at Dublin Castle, some nice speeches. Then a visit to the park, maybe a speech in the Daíl, again just like Reagan, some lefty’s will be absent. And then he will spend a day or two playing golf in Doonbeg and no protesters will get within 20 miles of him.

That’s it.

I more or less said this over on the big DT thread on Boards, a couple of times, and got ridiculed and banned.
I see the same anti brigade are over here mouthing off. In fairness to this thread, it looks like it's giving a hearing to those with an alternative view.

I think a lot of people have starting looking past the personal attacks and spin to see if there are any decent political arguments for all this media hatred, but they seem to servery lacking, which makes people distrust the media even more.

no, really, lets hope the arseholes from either side don't show up, Ireland apes far too much about american politics as it is.

Lets hope instead that Ireland actually shows up the rest of the western media by having some reasoned political discussion instead of personal attacks.
- though I doubt it will.

There is no such thing as right wing fascism. It was a left wing movement. Anti capitalist, pro big government, anti free speech, identity politics. All left wing.

The Left are Fascists whether you want to admit it or not is your business. They are the silencing different opinions [Twitter and Facebook routinely censor Conservative pages], threatening businesses if they donate to the Republican [like just recently with In n Out Burger] attack anyone for wearing MAGA hats or showing any support for Trump.

You can't claim to be against Fascists while you turn around and act like them.

Where did I say anyone left-wing can't be fascist?

I said Anti-Fa are an anti-fascsist organisation. Whether or not they have a conversely fascist ideaology is a viewpoint that has been expressed but without an argument by a few people. I respect that and am not nessecarily disagreeing with. Nothing has been presented for me TO disagree with. Nor is it an argument relevant to the thread, so it's something I won;t be responding to, so please don't quote me if you want to carry it on amongst yourselves

And - FOR THE LAST TIME - I was asking the poster in question why he hoped someone would get bashed before I realised it was a poster who had no political comment to make.

Disagreeing with a group is one thing, but promoting institutionalised violence..?
