Heā€™s all bluff with tariffs sureā€¦ tariffs work both ways.

And in the event of tariffs working then the euro weakens and FDI in Europe becomes more attractive.

Iā€™d rarely meet anyone who isnā€™t a Blueshirt/Michael Lowry/Fianna Fail voter

Touchy. The headbangers are rattled.

Donā€™t take any notice of this fanny @glenshane and @Horsebox.

The Irish election is always very entertaining but ultimately completely irrelevant because whatever government is put in place will do pretty much the exact same thing as the very slightly different alternative government - and we should be thankful for that. Itā€™s the political equivalent of a highly entertaining National Football League final between Dublin and Derry which goes to penalties, except itā€™s not even near as important as that. Itā€™s probably the equivalence in importance of the Guinness Soccer Sixes.

The American election actually matters to our lives and it matters to everybody else in the worldā€™s lives. Itā€™s like those peak Clasicos in 2010/2011 where lads in Nigeria and India would shoot people to death because Real Madrid lost.

I thought the two US-based guys (Lawrence Donegan & Dave Hannigan) on The Last Word just now seemed pretty bullish about Harrisā€™s chances. Letā€™s hope they are correct.

Do you think kamalaā€™s foreign policy will be much different from Joeā€™s?

This has been pointed out to you before, that your talking piles and piles of shite. Mail in and early ballots have not ā€œalwaysā€ favoredā€ democratic. They did in 2020, for very obvious reasons related to the auld flu that was going around. But historically it has been even. It is very easy to look this up.

I listened to some of Donegan on Second Captains yesterday but the segment wasnā€™t shaping up that great or in any way insightful so I lost interest. My initial impression of him was that he was trapped in the inverse of the bubble Trump supporters are trapped in, where neither believes the other exists and neither can believe the other exists.

I might or might not try to fall asleep to the rest of it tonight.

I find people outside of America are on the whole much more knowledgeable about the real issues in American politics and the real problems with America than people who live in America.

Well she says itā€™s going to be a new administration and not a continuation of Bidenā€™s so letā€™s see. Iā€™m mainly interested in it not being Trumpā€™s foreign policy for the next four years to be honest.

Thats a very drab answer. Basically you dont know and you dont care, but when forced to think about it ( for the first time) you cant come up with an answer.

Is Laurence donegan not a golf journalist ?

Youā€™re so clever :star_struck::star_struck:

They should just cut out the shite and make you president of the entire world for life

He writes and talks about golf anyway which is why it was surprising that he said he knew at most two Trump voters. He lives in a place called Mill Valley just north of San Francisco which I always imagine to be Hill Valley in Back To The Future, as I presume everybody else does. Maybe his ā€œcircleā€ is more of a music/cultural/media one though because he used to be in music?

The Trump voters in golf would mainly be the sort who vote based on taxes, taxes and taxes. David Duval was all but considered a communist within the game based on him being a registered independent who was rumoured to have voted Democrat at least once. The only actual left wing golfer I ever heard of is a guy called Paul Goydos who played back in the 1990s.

Where do you source such devastating repartee? Have the girls been arguing again?
