No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

Don't agree with you there. David Clifford is 6 ft 4, Brian fenton 6 ft 6 and conor glass is 6 ft 2... the three best footballers in the country..... being tall and well built is an attribute for success in football.

Gym work in football helps reduce injury if done correctly...

He's fine with his own supporters he knows they'll back him no matter what.

The concern for the republicans is the swing vote in key states, they may not vote for a convicted felon & that's where he may be in trouble

Then again it is America😁

It's the total requirement of whoever has the most money wins or has the greatest chance of winning is ruining it.

Trump gets his money support from Russia through back channels by third parties or real estate sales at inflated prices. One of his first calls as president was to invite an Fsb agent into the White House where a demand was made for Cia files. Trump did what he was told to do. And the next year or so any contacts that Cia agents had with paid agents non American were being killed off in accidents. And there's then the files he brought from the White House to his private holiday home. And he's still running for president again.

It's just money and probably coercion through blackmail and force to get to where this is all now.

Under trumps tenure he called for riots in Washington which resulted in the deaths of five police officers. Biggly no.

I was talking to a historian once and he made a very valid point in regard to this. During the civil war, those that were pro-treaty were first to get the well paid state jobs in the newly founded state. Those that were anti-treaty were treated like criminals, interred in places like Tintown Camp in Kildare. Locked up by those they fought side by side with previously.

My grand-uncle was the leader of the local IRA during the War Of Independence, yet he ended up with no work after and emigrated to the USA. My Grandfather, who was pro-treaty got a steady state job and ended up with a military pension.

So the roots and lingering bitterness of the present day political and social makeup of this country, can still be traced back to that era.

Historians I've met love talking about the War Of Independence, but they avoid the Civil War like the plague.

The Biden administration saw the Israelis as Israelis not what they are as Russian Jews. The mood is changing in the democrats in slowing or stopping aid to the Netanyahu government. That's unprecedented in Israeli american relations.

Netanyahu wants Trump in power.

Maybe they see parsnips are a Winter vegetable

You must really love parsnips

Not sure the Republicans offer much either given that the States they control have some of the worst poverty rates and health outcomes in the US. Eitheir way I think a second civil war there is not far off, plus pretty much every politician there is bought and paid for by large corporations. Depressing really that Trump or Sleepy Joe is the best they can offer….

Local nightclub had an over 30s disco from 6 to 10pm last night. Had to laugh at daughter who went in to the nightclub at 11 giving out about all the old people there who should have gone home at 10

levelling a bit of poaching left from weanlings that overwinterd in and out. Ground only now fit 🙄

If anyone is wondering.

You can fit 11 rolls of plastic into a Dacia Duster.
