Trump and his White House staff make much about merit-based appointments. It seems merit under Trump means; *White * Loyal to Trump * See above

Anyone with even the most tenuous grasp on reality and truth would have found this charade excruciating. A macabre mixture of CBeebies does politics and the Nuremberg rally as the White House staff alternated between childlike adoration of ‘King’ Trump and vicious condemnation of his detractors.

Elon walks into a cocktail bar and goes to the counter. BMan: What can I get you Elon Elon: I dunno, surprise me. The barman starts to mix a tall cocktail, brings it to bar, lights it up and then smashes in front of Elon Elon: What the hell cocktail was that? BMan; An Unscheduled Disassembly.

It is worth remembering that the Good Friday agreement came about despite the raw grievances and pain on both sides and in a process which rewarded every contributor equally . It isn’t perfect, even after 27 years, but its imperfections, its trials and tribulations represent the reality of humanity.

Ireland will have to up the ante in terms of defence spending just to secure our own coastlines and waters. Neutrality is something very important to the Irish people, but we must acknowledge the security that has been given without conditions to us by our neighbours and contribute accordingly.

Trump is purely transactional in everything he does and there has to be a benefit to him.It doesn’t matter if it’s mineral deposits, real estate opportunity or just plain old cash. With this in mind one has to wonder exactly what is he getting from Russia? Is it for services rendered or extortion?

At what point do you think House and Senate republicans will, like Dr Frankenstein, realise they have created a monster and that he is now out of control?

Just in case a European leader, party, media outlet or person who believes in democracy and the laws and institutions that protect it is in doubt as to where Trump is dragging the US. Please read this and make the case that the Trump regime has not gone rogue, both domestically and internationally.

Pathetic Fallacy This morning dawned with blue skies and a bright sun offering a little warmth to accompany a few chores in the garden. After a well-earned coffee and a regrettable troll through the news cycle a walk on the beach summed up the mood perfectly.

This from the Russian Foreign Minister, the same Russia who deployed North Korean troops to fight in Ukraine.

This is it in a nutshell. Just follow the dirty money and you will know that this charade is just another example of the Trump regime’s sordid smoke and mirrors while it fleeces the world for every filthy, bloodstained cent it can lay its hands on. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Any misconceptions you may have had about how bad Trump would be for the rest of the world must have flown out the window as quickly as a Putin opponent.

Now that the Trump regime is openly colluding with Russia to force a carve-up deal on Ukraine, this following a failed attempt by the same regime to bribe Ukraine on precious minerals, shouldn’t Europe accept that the US is no longer acting in good faith and form a formal alliance with Ukraine.

Listening to NATO’s Mark Rutte on the US concerns regarding the overall contributions of other NATO members to Ukraine’s defence and to NATO budget in general. I take the point, but still see no justification for Trump ceding negotiation position to Putin or Rutte’s lack of condemnation of him.

FF/FG housing policy once again going down the route of the tried and failed boom bust cycle. 40 years of repeated failure and a planning policy that is delivering the ghettos of the future in many urban and suburban communities. There is no end to the level of incompetence shown.
