It's remarkable that the only people in Irish politics with a set of balls turn out to be the women.
Good on the both of them.
Leadership is rare in the face of a global bully and Mary Lou will be out on the front line while the big brave men of FG and FF cower in the background.
We're they invited? Did you ever hear anything so daft? Turning down an invitation you haven't received? Apart from anything else it's the height of bad manners.
You don't want to admit that the ones you voted in have no courage, no backbone and are prepared to kiss Trumps arse, so you deflect to moan about the ones that do have leadership and courage.
Trump's wrecking ball will hit these shores soon.
Good luck.
No. They have not been invited. And this is not every year. Nobody is sure of getting an invite this year. Can't you just disagree with people without going on the attack? Intolerance is always unpleasant.
No, it wasn't rte who added 'Whitehouse' listen to the entire conference, Mary Lou was very clear. Also, who said 'bloody bad manners'? I presume you are quoting someone.
I'm so embarrassed at the lack of politeness Sinn Féin is showing to the fascist in the White House and all his fascist friends and the sheer rudeness about the fascists' plans for war crimes
My god. I’m in an upside down world. Mike Pence calling out 🤡, Bannon 💩ing on Musk, and now I’m agreeing with Sinn Féin… ish. Think there are bigger and more basic humanity reasons to boycott, but I appreciate it.

No Appeasement

It was RTE that added "Whitehouse" not Sinn Fein.
They're invited to the St Patrick's Day parade and the Civic event.
Me attacking you? what's the "Bloody bad manners" comment but double standards?
