@BillKristol This guy is smart. He knows how to present himself. He’s presenting a position to distinguish himself from others. I don’t think even he believes his own words Do you really think this guy cares about anything except himself?

Somewhere in his twisted soul, Vivek can’t stand the fact that Zelensky has done infinitely more for his country than Vivek will ever do for ours. For that matter, Zelensky has done more for the U.S. than Vivek will ever do.

Vivek Ramaswamy: “I find it offensive that we have professional politicians on this stage that will make a pilgrimage to Kyiv to their pope Zelensky without doing the same think for people in Maui or the south side of Chicago…”

@TexasRepublic71 Where did Gates say that? Please give us the documented proof. Otherwise it’s just the ravings of crackpot right wing Americans.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is calling on nations around the world to adopt his “global solution” for “digital ID” to ensure that every single person on Earth “proves their identity. Why is Bill Gates a free man?

@WRHearst10 @ianbremmer @VivekGRamaswamy An illogical post. If Russia wins, China will take Taiwan. US allies particularly in Asia , will side with China. US will be mostly alone. $ will cease to be the reserve currency. $ goes down, interest rates go up up. Wall Street goes down down. Putin has sought this.

The fact that we're sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine without Biden even once articulating why it advances U.S. national interests reeks of corruption. It's now fair game to ask whether the geopolitical disaster known as Hunter Biden has something to do with it. The bipartisan establishment is attacking me for even asking the question. But just think independently for a moment.

@anandMenon1 @dsmitheconomics While many of us in Europe, would gladly welcome UK back into the EU, the biggest problem would be the UK itself. What, if after say, five years returning, another Brexit campaign begins?

'The prodigal son would [lose] the opt-out from euro membership and...probably be required to be part of the Schengen sone..the EU would be seeking ways to lock in membership'. Interesting discussion by @dsmitheconomics thetimes.co.uk/article/can-we…

@ianbremmer He’s a hedge fund manager, which like similar types,here in Europe, would explain his lack of loyalty to anything but his immediate bottom line. History or the future do not figure.

@ianbremmer Sounds like he’d sell his country. If US capitulates to Russia, China will invade Taiwan. US will loose its allies. US will be alone. $ will no longer be the reserve currency. $ goes down, interest rate really rises. US just another state. China/Russia supreme.

@Michael_O_Regan @fionnansheahan @morningireland The only real questions are, how much did his contract say he should be paid, did he perform the agreed contract and was he paid the contracted amount. RTE management are paid to manage contracts. The rest is opinion and one person’s opinion is worth as much as anyone else’s.

Listening to @fionnansheahan on @morningireland Ryan Tubridy seems to have been no more than in error in not correcting an incorrect figure given to the Oireachtas by RTE management. He has admitted to that. Time for him to return to the airwaves.

@justinmortlake1 @JoJo002 @alanmoore4816 @mrjamesob I’m old enough to remember when Ireland was not in the EU. I remember when cattle were herded through Dublin, to be exported to UK. UK decided prices & subsidised their own farmers. Our industries were people,beer & biscuits. No thanks. We like the new Ireland and the EU.

Hey @Ryanair, my parents who are in their 70s and 80s, had accidentally downloaded the return flight boarding card instead of the outgoing ones and you charged them £110 to print them at the airport. £110 for 2 pieces of paper which took 1 minute. Shame on you

@BenGoode16 @brianmlucey Does he? Check out the homes of other PBP TDS and ask yourself how they can afford to live in those houses on the average industrial wage.

MAGA ‘Prophet’ Julie Green has received another message from God. God says he is about to expose Jack Smith, wipe out the indictments against Trump, and Nancy Pelosi is also in big trouble somehow.

@CeeMacBee Why do you keep going on about the EU? EU countries are not obsessed with Brexit. You won. You’re out. Get over it.

Both Bennett and Hill tell the same story. Leaders from Washington and London arrived to scuttle the deal and prolong the war in the hopes of exhausting the Russian war machine on the grist of Ukrainian teenagers.

@JohnSimpsonNews It’s bizarre & sad, that a lot of people will trust unaccountable, biased & often anonymous sources rather than accountable, mostly transparent and honest sources such as the BBC.

In the last ten years or so we’ve seen so much anger, mistrust and hatred seeping into British life, mostly though not entirely influenced by what’s going on in the US. This tweet is an example. People here are ruder, angrier and more extreme than they used to be.

@JohnSimpsonNews @TheTeaLady33 I grew up loving the BBC.Now I no longer trust them.I see them as the enemy

@MorgenrothEdgar @ItWasRoth I don’t want to restrict or ban vans or suvs. Vans are usually a work requirement. SUVS are usually a lifestyle choice. Let the tax system work it out.

@GerardPMc1 @ItWasRoth SUVs are higher and that absolutely restricts visibility ahead, just like vans. Do you have a problem with vans? Do you want to restrict or ban them? Lot's of people drive vans instead of cars.

There is a real suv bashing mania going on, typically lacking any real knowledge or analysis. A significant share of SUVs are actually lighter than the average car, and of the large SUVs many are commercial vehicles e.g 100% of Ford Ranger. Of course SUV is never defined!
The Irish Times@IrishTimes

SUVs have upended the car industry, wrecked the environment, and ruined the school run but there are other options out there irishtimes.com/motors/2023/08…

@ItWasRoth @MorgenrothEdgar I accept your data about 63 Q7s. However, there are other smaller more common suvs that also restrict vision for saloon car drivers. Overall, I found the IT article more persuasive, based on practical experience. However, for now, it’s a fre country.

@ItWasRoth @MorgenrothEdgar I drive a saloon. My gripe also, is if you park next to an suv, you’re reversing from a parking spot, without seeing clearly. Today, an Audi Q7 parked beside me. It was like being beside a large commercial vehicle. No, a badly parked Micro does not have that affect.
