The world is gone mad when the US president is insulting the Pope and the most sensible Republican voice I hear now is @FmrRepMTG

@mrddmia I'd say the Catholic Bishops are more outraged by the US murdering innocent Iranians than Donald's Truth Social Posts

@Martinp149705 @robggill Probably thought businesses would be up if everyone had a day off 😄

@robggill He opened his pubs today, while calling for a strike. 🙄

@SethAbramson I'd put Israel 2nd on a list of most likely to use a nuke, just behind USA based on prior history and a crazy incumbent President and his cronies.
English

@allcods @dlLambo @abierkhatib You said that Israel had to have a reason to attack the wedding. Now you say the IDF try hard to avoid killing innocent people. If you believe the 1st statement is true then you know the 2nd is a lie. The IDF has killed thousands of innocents in Gaza and Lebanon.
English

@barrydean22 @dlLambo @abierkhatib The IDF does actually try hard to avoid killing people who are innocent. Unfortunately that can’t be said for their adversaries who are quite happy to do so even when it involves their own people

@elonmusk For a smart guy, you'd believe any old nonsense. People are protesting rising fuel prices caused by DJTs crazy war with Iran. Got any view on that topic, you've been a bit quiet on the biggest issue in the world right now?

@DonaldJTrumpJr The son of Putin's man in Washington asking Hungarians to vote for Putin's man in Budapest. It's almost like your family is working for Putin.
English

To our friends in Hungary, we hope you will vote for independent thinking and for someone who stands for Hungary First. We hope you will vote for my father’s friend and ally. One leader in Europe has a direct line to the White House, I hope you will support Viktor Orban! #Hungary

@GayeDalton @__DrAwkward__ @EwanMacKenna Ooh, blocked by DrAwkward. Nameless, Faceless but still not open to discussion.

@barrydean22 @__DrAwkward__ @EwanMacKenna Great, so you tell us your plan for actually stopping Trump and we will all get on board, but, until then, we need the lavishly wasted public finances rejigging a little so we can get on with life. #fuelprotest

@__DrAwkward__ @EwanMacKenna Ordinary households have to pay €900 for 500 litres of home heating oil. It was under €500 in January. The shared enemy in this case is Trump/MAGA but the #fuelprotest is targeting ordinary people to get a deal for farm/haulage businesses.
English

@FEEACRA @thejournal_ie It's a bullshit catchphrase there, just as it is in Ireland. Fools repeat it.
English

@barrydean22 @thejournal_ie Because what you mean by MAGA has the same effect here in Ireland. It’s MIGA
English

Do you think it's time for the fuel price protesters to stand down? jrnl.ie/7009923
English

@EwanMacKenna 2 and 4 are the main issues for most people. Plus, Trump caused the fuel price shock and yet half the online fuel protest supporters are pro Maga!
English

I sense the protests are losing support for five reasons...
1. The rationale. Lower taxes now but no protests when higher taxes.
2. The nefarious actors hijacking this.
3. The swathes of support for the reasons for the prices hikes (Trump and Israel).
4. Hurting ordinary people who also have bills and jobs, by targeting the wrong places.
5. There's a fair sense the demands are "give us money", the rest don't matter.
Again I'm not against them, in principle, and understand much of it, but even as somewhat of an anarchist I'm reluctant to jump on this as it's far from black and white.
English

@GayeDalton @__DrAwkward__ @EwanMacKenna I think the challenge is yours. Tell us how much a fuel tax break for farmers and hauliers will cost and who will pay for it via 1) higher taxes or 2) lower benefits?

English

@barrydean22 @EwanMacKenna But those assets are necessary to run their business.
Try haulage without a truck or growing food without a farm!
Rather than advocating a race to the bottom and resenting each other, let's for once unite against our actual shared enemies
English

@__DrAwkward__ @EwanMacKenna Haulage businesses and Farmers have an inordinate amount of asset wealth compared to ordinary folk.
English

@EwanMacKenna Haulage businesses and farmers have an inordinate dependence on fuel costs compared to normal folk. I can well believe many will go to the wall without help. The road haulage union and IFA do not really represent the little guys.
English

And as for all the faceless/nameless social media warriors trying to make out that the majority support the #fuelprotest , half of you are MAGA supporters so blame yourselves for this problem.
English

Global events and Trump/MAGA madness cause fuel prices to rocket. Everyone hates that. However, the #fuelprotest in Ireland believes that Haulage companies and farmers can hold the rest of us hostage to demand a deal just for them. They prioritise themselves over ordinary people
English

@lovemycounty7 @annie_mcginley If you believe "most of the country " are not happy, why haven't other parties been voted into Government? Be honest, the current fuel prices are triggered by Trump/MAGA, not the tax %. Are you a MAGA fan by any chance?
English

@barrydean22 @annie_mcginley Elections the ones that the parties get into bed together to hold power we have a uni party no opposition. Yes the USA cause a lot of problems but they don’t set the tax on our fuel
English

@Byrneski246 @annie_mcginley Trump and his MAGA movement caused this fuel price increase. Why no protesters at the US embassy?
English

@annie_mcginley No fucks given from my side what you think, your just another idiot 🤣🤣
English

@lovemycounty7 @annie_mcginley Most of us, stick to our own echo chambers on Social media and think our view is held by the majority. Then when General Elections happen, those anti establishment claim it's a fix. Reality in this case, USA caused the price increase and most of don't support being held hostage.
English

@annie_mcginley Annie you might be happy with the way the country is and good for you but most of us are not and are well in our rights to protest this country doesn’t belong to the few it belongs to all the good hard working people have enough
