I’m about to indulge myself in Tuesday and Wednesday’s Newstalk Drivetime show. I want to listen to Tuesday so I know Chris’s mindset leading up to polling day and how dismissive he was of President-elect Trump and then Wednesday’s for obvious reasons.

A fine big mug of tae and chocky biscuits and settle in
One of the panelists on Bill Maher last night described it as a “moral 9/11”. It’s quite amazing how detached some liberals are from reality.

Such a surprise! So many people to thank!
1. Jill Stein voters: You helped elect a man who pledges that he will, in his first hundred days, cancel contributions to United Nations programs to fight climate change. If your vote for Ms. Stein did not end up advancing your green agenda, it did allow you to feel morally superior to all the compromising schmoes who voted for Hillary Clinton. And your feelings about your vote are more important than the consequences of your vote. So — thank you!
2. Gary Johnson voters: Thank you, for similar reasons. You, too, may now reward yourselves with feelings of warm self-approval, and your libertarian agenda will now be advanced (or not) by someone who admires the governance of Vladimir Putin. And to Mr. Johnson himself: Not only can no one blame you for this outcome — we’re all free agents, man! — but you can stop looking for Aleppo.
3. James Comey: Your publicity coup may have affected the outcome of the election. Or it may not have. But it will certainly breed speculation that it did. Such discussion will in some way serve the reputation of the F.B.I. Or not. You had to bravely contravene bureau protocols to make your contribution, so to you we owe a special thanks!
4. Anthony Weiner: You also found a surprising way to contribute! Thank you, sir — your act never gets old!
5. Jimmy Fallon: How did you manage to shine a nonthreatening light on someone who alarms so many women, frightens so many undocumented families and slurs so many minorities? Can’t have been easy! Thanks! Maybe now you could have the Grand Wizard on your show: He leans his head to you, you slip his hood off and ruffle his hair. Could be a cute bit!
6. All our media friends. Thank you for preserving reportorial balance. You balanced Donald Trump’s proposal that the military execute the innocent families of terrorists, against Hillary’s emails. You balanced pot-stirring racist lies about President Obama’s birth, against Hillary’s emails. You balanced a religious test at our borders, torture by our military, jokes about assassination, unfounded claims of a rigged election, boasts about groping and paradoxical threats to sue anyone who confirmed the boasts, against Hillary’s emails. You balanced endorsement of nuclear proliferation, against Hillary’s emails. You balanced tirelessly, indefatigably; you balanced, you balanced, and then you balanced some more. And for that — we thank you. And thank you all for following Les Moonves’s principled lead when he said Donald Trump “may not be good for America, but he’s damn good for CBS.”
7. The Electoral College. Thank you, for being you.
I cannot thank: Hillary Clinton. She is not a morally perfect person — her fault! She was not the perfect candidate — her fault! Misogyny may have magnified her failings so as to show them balancing the outsized failings of her opponent — and that might not be her fault. But she fought to the very limits of her ability to deny us Tuesday night’s surprise, so I do not thank her. Pooh on you, Hillary Clinton!
I do thank, lastly:
8. The American electorate. Because in the end, we all did it together. We did it! We really did it!
Is that guy one of the brothers as in THE brothers. Big Lebowsi, Fargo etc?
If so its like finding out about santy when I was 8.

Who’s this stuip cunt
She has a ducking print of the “see no evil, hear no evil” emoji on her wall. Classic Millenial snowflake.

The left wing extremist’s have a lot of rage and hate. See the hate filled @Sidney as a prime example of a left winger full of hate and rage.
It is a blessing that this political viewpoint was crushed by the US election.
I’ve re-watched Hook’s interview on the Darcy show. That Kildare prick really is an odious creep. Hook showed him up for the spoofer that he is: “The boss man of the KKK…” What a dickhead.

The self righteousness of the little prick is nauseating. It transcends most topics.
He is an intolerant little condescending small minded bollox.
The way he treated Pamela Anderson was a disgrace.

I didn’t see that, and to be honest the only reason I watched the Hook interview at all was because of you and KP flagging it. Myself and the missus had a good laugh at Hook stitching it into him.
I’ve long since dispensed with the notion that RTE serves a useful purpose for me and my news needs. That imposed broadcasting license was the final straw. Paying for the privilege of watching that cunt, Ray Darcy? He can fuck off back to Denis O’Brien’s tit. I don’t consent to having their propagandist bullshit message rammed down my throat.

Raidió Teilifís SIPTU are a disgrace in their coverage of current affairs, it’s no wonder that we have so many bleeding hearts who can’t understand the US results. It was the same in 2004 with Bush’s reelection, the disbelief on Morning Ireland was something else.
I have some time for their documentaries and sports coverage.
