Two thugs in Seattle attack a 77-year-old man walking down the street for no reason.. one of the thugs claimed to work for Seattle’s socialist mayor Katie Wilson. The victim suffered a broken arm, broken knee, facial injuries, and trauma. Arrested, released in two days, skipped court, now missing.

“No, there is no Islamic rule requiring a three-day waiting period”

@MichealMartinTD Jim Gavin did not put himself forward for election. He competed in a race to get elected but he didn’t make it as far as the election. You however elected him to run in the race for election. Not a wise choice.

Statement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin on Presidential Election.
Can we stop with the absolute nonsense about the nomination process for the presidential election being "rigged" or potential candidates being "blocked". The Constitution provides for a process - selection by Oireachtas members and local authorities - that process was followed.

@MichaelgTCD 25.3% of the votes in a two horse race? And the competing horse was a lame duck? 🤦♂️
English
With electorate of just over 3.6m, Catherine Connolly’s first prefs amount to 25.3% of electorate. Higher than Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese and Michael D Higgins; highest since Erskine Childers in 1973 (32.3%). Catherine C is President by choice of electorate, not by default.

Simon Harris says he isn’t sure anything ‘backfired’ in the FG campaign
English
@GoldfinchChaos @christinafinn8 Varadkar put Harris there so that he would not have to endure the moniker of ‘worst FG part leader ever’
English
@christinafinn8 Simon is actually worse for Fine Gael than Vradkar ever was. He is burying them they are going to be fucked unless they take a pull & re organize.

@john_mcguirk We certainly don’t elect the brightest. Leinster House needs a mandatory ‘IQ lock’. People cannot enter if they are of insufficient intellect. That would eradicate the current encumbents.

“I think it is regrettable that there were only two active candidates on the ballot,” Tánaiste Simon Harris said:

@griptmedia I’m not sure Helen understands democracy. Its about the will of the people Helen, not the will of your overpaid teaboy.

'The fact that we had a small number of candidates wasn’t because of any individual party blocking people. It was that there were just not candidates there that got the support of local authorities or anybody else.'

@paddycosgrave I thought you had a better understanding of “own goals”. Guess not.
English
Let’s not forget to thank the #spoilthevote clowns 🤡. They scored one of the greatest own goals in Irish electoral history by helping hand Catherine Connolly an even bigger margin of victory by denying Heather Humphreys a swathe of votes from the near & far right of Fine Gael 🙏

@rte should not let Declan Ganley get away with plugging the idea that this was a rigged election. It was held under the terms prescribed in our Constitution.
English
@rtenews Who were behind it? IRLGov were behind it - do you really need to ask? They can’t even run an democratic election campaign. They certainly can’t run a country, but they’re still figuring that out.
English
As counting shows a record number of spoiled votes in the Presidential Election, who was behind the 'Spoil The Vote' campaign?

@SocDems Yes, that concert she had where her buddies sang “F*&k the Catholic Church” - it had a real Bob Vylan ring to it. Charming.
Don’t lose the run of yourself buddy, she was a lame horse in a race where the other two horses never got out of the starting gate.

@DarranMarshall “If we are ever to have a united Ireland , we have to respect all traditions”
How about trying to win over the electorate? Otherwise, good luck with any referendum you bring to the people, you’re gonna need it.

“My family were subjected to some awful sectarian abuse. I was disappointed because I thought we had moved on from that.”
