Declan Ganley is a US military contractor in business with Peter Thiel and Karl Rove. his son Micheál's previous job before "refounding" the Bethlehem Steel Company, was as a staffer for Lindsay Graham. he's a stooge for US interests and should be treated as such

For those keeping count, Simon Harris "took to social media" to decry the shooting of Charlie Kirk the following day. He's gone cycling today, apparently.
'Member all the Irish wankers bemoaning "political violence" when Charlie Kirk was murdered - has anyone seen if they have anything to say about the attempted murder of women and children in the Drogheda IPAS centre?
No?
Funny, that.

If a PBP TD said that there were too many foxhunters in Ireland and then there was a arson attack on a hunting lodge that night, you can be damn sure that Simon Harris could join the dots.

He really should resign.

Harris will be outraged at any hint of a connection between his comments & the arson attack. So outraged he won't get round to explaining himself.

Micheál Martin will find it repugnant that people are making such a connection. So repugnant he won't get round to explaining himself.

They doused petrol on a building housing of refugee families and set it alight. They were trying to burn these people out, if not actually burn them alive. It was a pogrom. It's important we identify it properly

And the government is encouraging the politics behind this. It'll happen again

Kicking in the door and setting stairs on fire to hinder escape. If these terrorists can get away with this, the same kind of violence will be used against anyone these they don't like, whether they have a different skin colour or a different political opinion.

The 'concerned citizens' among us are edging closer and closer to the unspeakable. These arsonists in Drogheda came very close to being murderers last night. Remember this the next time the 'protect women and kids' line is trotted out.
Justice Minister confirms arson attack on IPAS building in Drogheda last night.

"Fireworks were thrown into the building, causing a fire and putting lives at risk. This was a terrifying ordeal for the women and children living there, a number of whom were taken to hospital."

A lot of the spoiled ballots I saw while tallying were very explicitly and forcibly racist. When the talking heads from Iona and Aontú say that FF and FG need to court their votes, that is who they are talking about.
The girls at the count centre were laughing at all your pathetic spoiled ballots, btw.

Our 10th president, Catherine Connolly, won more votes with her presidential campaign than any other single electoral candidate in Irish political history.

That's really fucking something, no matter what the spoil the vote crowd, your David Quinns etc will no doubt tell you

While it was a less than ideal Presidential campaign - with only two candidates still running in the end - it’s useful to see the names and bios behind the ‘spoil your vote’ campaign. Mainly a lot of failed politicians, right wing agitators and social conservatives. www.rte.ie/news/primeti...
Who was behind the 'Spoil The Vote' campaign?
A network of businesspeople and online commentators campaigned for voters to spoil their ballots as a form of protest. Here's who they are — and how they became part of the movement

How deranged do you have to be to see FG as woke
David Quinn (who else) on Brendan O'Connor show now, dominating the discussion. FG rep says we need to connect with young people. DQ says you need to connect with people like me, he says FG 'too woke'.

Can see where this narrative is heading.

Very important to remember that Declan Ganley is closely aligned with Peter Thiel, both financially (Rivada) & ideologically (conspiracy theory loving conservatives).

We really shouldn’t be encouraging or helping to normalise in Ireland the silliness & misinformation that’s infected the US & UK.

In fairness, @theresareidy.bsky.social was rebutting Declan Ganley’s American-style podcast bro word salad silliness on Radio 1 very well though.

Extremely glad there was voices of normal reason about a democratic election available to counter him.

Claiming #Áras25 was rigged is truly delulu.
