MESSAGE FROM A DEMOCRAT: https://nypost.com/2025/03/05/opinion/as-a-democrat-im-embarrassed-for-my-party-and-worried-for-the-nation/ Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2384 - 06/03/2025 13:01:12 2595034 Link
GOOD MAN TRUMP! https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2025-03-04/eaton-palisades-fire-environmental-protection-agency-cleanup As the Eaton and Palisades fires raged in Los Angeles, more than a few Democrats and at least one Times columnist claimed President Trump would punish California rather than help it recover from the devastation. If the record-breaking cleanup of properties - led by the administration's Environmental Protection Agency - is any indication, those fears were drastically overblown. On Jan. 24, Trump signed Executive Order 14181 calling for the EPA to "expedite the bulk removal of contaminated and general debris" from the zones affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, in order to accelerate efforts to help the survivors recover and rebuild their lives.

Replying To Trump2020: "GOOD MAN TRUMP! The Mexican drug cartels are apparently fearing for their lives with the Trump administration targeting them under the auspices of its new border security crackdown initiative, according to reports. The New York Times, in a bizarrely sympathetic report on Sunday, explained that the cartels are scrambling to figure out how to survive through the second Trump administration after President Donald Trump declared them terrorists and authorized the U.S. military to begin operations against them. In related news, Mexico last week transferred 29 cartel members to the U.S. as a good-faith gesture to Trump, perhaps as a way of dissuading him from imposing 25% tariffs on Mexico." If you believe that Mr T will crush the cartels, then god bless your innocence. They are like the many headed hydra. You cut the heads off and they reappear, maybe nastier than before. You would be far better off to curb your elation and exuberance for a year or so and see what the overall picture is then. It is said that one of the recent Chinese leaders was asked what effect he thought the French revolution had had on world history and events. his answer was that it was much too soon to make a proper evaluation of it. And here you are doing handstands after what - 6 weeks ? If this "Utopia" promised by MrT and the real president - Musk- is taking shape after a year or so, we will all join in your congratulations and celebrations.

If a Republican disagrees with Trump he'll be bullied by Trump and get death threats off MAGA. Yeah Trump is really turning the country around. updwell (Limerick) - Posts: 881 - 06/03/2025 14:30:08 2595059 Link

Replying To tireoghainabu: "Pretty sure it the Spanish who landed in Kinsale in 1601 to link up with O'Neil and O'Donnell who marched over 300 miles in the dead of winter to meet them. One of the saddest events in Irish history and to think that the land of O''Neill is still under foreign rule." Sorry you are right. I may brush up on the old history! It was the last resistance of the old Irish sad to say. 1798 marked the beginning of what could be termed the modern quest for freedom in the history of Ireland. A book that as you say remains unfinished. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15047 - 06/03/2025 15:16:57 2595066 Link

And your own county-men played a heroic part in '98, something I'm sure all Wexford men and women are very proud of. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 371 - 06/03/2025 15:53:52 2595080 Link

There isn't really any point in trying to point out anything to our American friend. He is on that high octane fuel called Trump mania. I'm just hoping he will calm down and get back to our level in a few months. As long as Truth Social and X - along with other Trump approved outlets keep spewing out untruths and downright lies masquerading as facts, our friend will keep reposting them.

He's moving to the Center as he knows he can't be elected President with such Far Left silliness. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/06/gavin-newsom-breaks-with-democrats-on-trans-athletes-in-sports-00215436 Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports The Democratic California governor made the stunning remarks in his debut podcast with conservative guest Charlie Kirk. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a pioneer for LGBTQ+ rights who decades ago upset leaders in his own party when he defied state law and issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples, suggested Democrats were in the wrong in allowing transgender athletes to participate in female college and youth sports.

Oh dear. Being Left wing or Right wing has nothing to do with your views on sexual orientation or transgender issues. They are socio-economic terms. The former leader of our main Right wing party is in a same sex relationship. In your own country your current Secretary of the Treasury, in Trumps cabinet , Scott Bessent, is a member of the LGBT community. Personally I'm left wing, as in a Socialist, and I'd disagree strongly that transgender women should be allowed to compete in women's sports. They absolutely shouldn't be allowed, as they have an unfair biological advantage. That view has nothing whatsoever to do with my social, political, and economic beliefs as a left wing person.
