Leavitt: "The NYT took about 1/3 of the president's daily calendar & schedule & said that he's doing less than he did in his first term, or he might not be fit for the job. That is unequivocally false and it's deeply unfortunate that the story was written ... he is taking meetings around the clock"

Per a new report, Kash Patel refused to exit his plane without an FBI jacket, but the only one that would fit him was a woman’s jacket. Then he demanded SWAT patches for it. www.scribd.com/document/958...

If Mehole likes things as they are will he now leave Dublin Airport alone?
Or press on with his FF Government renaming it after an FF Taoiseach for no apparent reason?

Idiotic incapable Minister has idiotic unworkable idea
This hasn't gotten much traction, but late last week, Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan announced plans for
A) A social media ban for under-16s.
B) To achieve this, introducing mandatory digital ID requirements for all Irish users of social media platforms.

I agree, but: if the main reason you are in power now is that the national press kicked seventeen shades of shit out of all your internal and external opponents and repeated every word of the drivel and horseshit you sent them as God’s honest truth, then this is just too bad.

Incredible bad faith mischaracterisation of this movement to rename Herzog Park. Like all Israel's presidents, Chaim Herzog, perpetrated apartheid and the ethnic cleansing and brutalisation of Palestinians.

Whoever the cabinet minister that is quoted here is, who thinks Palestinian children aren't still being murdered because they don't see it on the 9'O Clock News, is not fit to sit at a tidy towns committee table, not to mind the cabinet table.

This government has to go. The do not represent the will of the Irish people. They have no backbone. They have no morals. They are kowtowing to despots and terrorists. They will lead us into war without hesitation if that is what they are told to do. 🤬

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
