Trump and the Republicans are taking your money the old-fashioned way: by stealing it: The Republicans have wanted to privatize Social Security and Medicare pretty much since the start of both safety-net programs.

Worst #IrishRugby #U20's in five years, talented, but dreadful onfield leadership, accuracy & zero composure on the pitch. Coaches learned absolutely nothing from awful performance against an abject #Scotland. Major questions about coaching team. #Wales, literally had one baller. #WALvIRE #U206N

A performance that will have #Citeh licking their lips. So much that was awful 2nd half, not least pass from Trent before he was hauled off, and punched clearance by Ally when it was easier to catch it. #LIVWOL #YNWA #LFC #Liverpool #EPL #LiverpoolFC #Football #Futbol #Soccer #PremierLeague #Wolves

And so on to the 2nd #ODI, and have #cricketireland learned anything from the 1st (and performance of our openers over the last four years), as both our regular openers headed in to their 30's and career twilight? That'll be a hard no.. Convince me I'm wrong..😒 #ZIMvIRE #ICC #FuturePlanning

1/2 Poor overall from Ireland, no one able to put the brakes on Bennett and keep him to less than run a ball. At some point before I die, Ireland will introduce a new opening white ball partnership. Congrats Zim #ZIMvIRE #ODI

Love Scotland, spend a lot of time there, have loads of friends there, have family connections there, generally wish Scotland well in all things. But it's #ScotlandWeek so here's four different angles of Stuart Hogg dropping the ball over the line.

Just came across this absolutely beautiful excerpt by #SeamusO'Rourke from his book "Leaning on Gates" on the @tommytiernan.bsky.social's show a few weeks back. Very poignant for those of us who've lost fathers of the same generation, same stock/different breed... 😢 www.youtube.com/watch?v=As0M...

#PaulGiamatti on @tommytiernan.bsky.social, loved the shock on #TommyTiernan's face as #Giamatti walks out and says he's not filming in Ireland, came just for the show because he's an admirer. Great show with Emma Doran, Doireann Ní Ghlacáin & music from Mohammad Syfkhan. www.rte.ie/player/serie...

#England started off like racehorses, line speed caused Ireland major problems 1st half, but they weren't able to sustain it and Ireland then had the space to play. Ireland have to be dissapointed with the two tries conceded at the end, poor defensive effort in last 5 mins. #IREvENG 1/2

#CianHealy should be nowhere near the #Ireland team at this stage, absolutely past it. All the lazy fecker had to do to prevent the last England try was fecking fall on the ball, instead kicks the ball back to England, then misses the follow up tackle to allow England behind us. #SixNations #IREvENG
