The Leprechaun economics is alive and well. Suddenly there’s an ‘unexpected’ €1bn coming in due to changes in EU tax.
Well, woweee!. So neither our Revenue Commissioners nor the Dept. of Finance, nor Daffy knew that this was coming?
Does Daffy and Co. honestly think the electorate believe him?
This would suggest a sea border is on the cards and May is expecting the DUP to withdraw support. Labour membership is solidly remain however and if it doesn’t pass the tests laid down then they would be putting their necks on the line by voting for it. Pretty weak position to be in if you are appealing to the opposition for support, especially when they are after your job.
Given that the Brexit support is around 50/50 these days, it is extraordinary times for sure.
ReproButina
It was inevitable. Now that they’re finished grandstanding at the party conference they can get back to the reality which, as they haven’t been able to come up with a better option that’s acceptable to the EU27, is the border in the Irish Sea or no deal.
Really? This has to be a religious outfit so. I wonder if their other clients knew this? They can do what they want but not with tax payers money cause da gays pay tax too.
DeKloot
Sweet Jesus what on earth did I just read in the Independent??!!! As in the rape attack in Antrim. I actually had to sit down when I read the headline. It’s not often that some story or other destabilises me in such a fashion.
I’m a very moderate person and don’t support the death penalty, but it’s this sort of stuff that makes me think that a Game of Thrones like public execution is the only option for this monster.
Jesus.
millie st murderlark
Read about that on my way home from work yesterday. Or tried to.
I actually wasn’t able to finish reading it then. Honestly one of the most horrific things I’ve read in the news. Some people are truly monsters.
Why it’s so hard
Hard to understand alright
I don’t think I am even going to try reading it
SOQ
That must have been the father, who else would have got access to a two week old baby like that. There really are some mentally disturbed individuals out there.
Ollie Cromwell
Looks like this has been a good week for the Donald.
A new trade deal and Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court appointment likely to go through.
The liberal US media will be like angry wasps in a jam jar.
Good times.
Ava
…yeah, great times Ollie, when sexual predators are running the show. Go and boil your head.
MaryLou's ArmaLite
sexual predators, get the fupp off, some people want to believe all republicans are perverts and all women are honest
johnny
how stupid are you
Why it’s so hard
You’ve got him well beat, he was being sarcastic
johnny
..in case any confusion I was referring to that irony challenged dope,that pollutes this place with anti SF propaganda daily and can’t see the idiocy in his/her comment…
Why it’s so hard
No one has been convicted of a sexual assault dimwit
Ollie Cromwell
US unemployment rate down to 3.7%, the lowest since 1969.
Wall Street booming.
Just in time for the mid-terms.
jusayinlike
Trumps second term is cemented.
Ollie Cromwell
Certainly if the economy continues to boom.
Even unemployment amongst blacks is at a record low.
Voters vote with their pickets not their heart but the mid-terms will give us a clue as to what lies ahead.
The Democrats have spent two years saying we wuz robbed and Hillary really was the most popular choice instead of trying to work out why Trump won and how they can fight back in the next election.
Droning on about a TV clip from decades ago when he boasted of grabbing ’em by the gee when it’s just standard locker room bantz the world over.
And not everyone was taken in Blasey Ford’s carefully stage-managed character assassination of Kavanaugh.

Well, sure, I mean, is that the same way the economy is doing so well here you and Ollie will be voting FG next time round?
Why it’s so hard
Yes Obama did do a good job getting the economy back on the right track
Ollie Cromwell
Such a shame he’s not around to reap the political benefits…..
Brother Barnabas
i doubt he cares too much about reaping political benefits when he’s reaping the financial benefits to the extent he is – last year’s $60 million 5-book deal will bolster his $40 million net worth nicely.
Ollie Cromwell
I suppose it saves him the bother of hawking his influence around dodgy ex-Soviet states and questionable African despots like Bill Clinton.
Why it’s so hard
Fair points Ollie only a matter of time though
realPolithicks
You’re delusional as usual, the repubicans will take such a hammering on November 6th that they’ll be the ones looking to get rid of trump. He’s given them their big tax break for the ultra wealthy and packed the supreme court with like minded thugs, they don’t need him anymore. He’s a dead man walking.
Why it’s so hard
I’m not sure they will Real
Apparently the Kavanaugh thing has energized their base, the question now is if they stay focused long enough until the election what with all the meths, energy drinks and junk food they imbibe
Meanwhile though Dem engagement is also low among certain groups such as millennials
I read it as base v base and don’t see Dems capturing all the houses
realPolithicks
I don’t think they will take the senate but the house is definitely up for grab. The damage is done at this point anyway, the supreme court is packed with republican thugs and will be for a generation. Whatever happens to the orange gnome is almost a moot point at this stage.
Why it’s so hard
Yeah call me naive but I was genuinely horrified at how corrupt and political the whole process has become of late. Doesn’t bode well
MaryLou's ArmaLite
you can be damn sure the next liberal appointment to the Supreme Court will go through the same poo show.
Johnny
What’s the basis for your sweeping and grandiose claim that engagement is low – a hunch ?
Compared to ….
Why it’s so hard
US news report ABC or Fox
Johnny
So you made it up,great thanks,agreed on no further engagement.
Johnny
Ps-it’s Tina or Crystal or maybe meth but never “meths”.
Why it’s so hard
The pleasure wasn’t entirely mutual
Ollie Cromwell
Of course he is lovey.
You’ll enjoy these reactions to Trump winning first time round.
The Wokes wake up to their worst nightmare.
Cry me a river doofus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnTnpN2H34A

They irony of you calling anyone stupid will not be lost on most people.
Ollie Cromwell
Except I didn’t call anyone stupid.
Which makes you look as thick as the back of a bull’s ball sack.
realPolithicks
Keep talking laddie, you dig deeper everytime you open your mouth.
Boy George is pro Brexit now? Meanwhile in Berlin the kidz are doing things. It’s not porn despite the site. A bit like broadsheet.ie claiming moderation from one or more redundant comedians.
Your balls are for earrings love. Do not present yourself under half a dozen or more names on this site without consideration for who owns the platform upon it sits.
When I first arrived I posted under my real name. Approximately a year after, maybe less, I moved to Clampers and have only used that since.
SOQ
Shake? Hands only.
Lose the academic bullpoo btw. Most in Ireland can’t afford accommodation to even start a basic third level education let alone fight with old skool hairy lesbians at fifth.
Edit: Nothing wrong with hairy lesbians except they have an annoying habit of sneering and one-upmanship, a bit like the right wing trolls on Broadsheet.
I’ve no idea what, how, or why the comment section has become what it is, even though the essence of the site itself hasn’t changed, but, it is no fun to visit anymore, and more importantly, I have no idea how it can be improved because it’s obvious there are individuals who like to troll/ dominate, and say a lot, but contribute very little.
It really is a pity, because the personalities and minds behind the concept of BS have so much potential and integrity which has been proven through their investigative and research capability.
Janet, I ate my avatar
well said Steph,
I have said this over and over,
people don’t come to leave feeling dirty,
this meanness that prevails is NOT entertainment or even productive to the development of ideas or debate,
it’s predictable boring and so destructive,

Oh, and your majesty – 1992 called. Boy George wants his hat back. Try that perfectly decent milliner from Galway – Philip Treacy.
She’s 92 years old.
Would that be the Philip Treacy from Galway awarded the OBE by Her Majesty who designs hats for Boy George and the Royal Family and who,In July 2018,credited the Queen with “single-handedly saving the British hat industry”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/07/07/queenspatronage-has-single-handedly-saved-british-hat-industry
I really would try to engage your brain before uttering such ludicrous nonsense.

Mainly because the go go trannys are imported from England, north England obviously.
Scotland is a bit cold for that sort of thing and Wales has no idea if it is talking from it’s ass or it’s elbow right now.
Ah, I see the Saturday sh;tshow has begun.
Yep, it’s just gone half time and they’re 2-0 down.
Plenty of time left to regain their footing, dearest

i tried too hard to get your juices flowing ?
There’s an awful bang of desperation off you, yeah ;)
I’m ok with your cutting me down – it’s ok :)
I shall turn my cutting wit elsewhere if you bleed, gentle soul. Forgive me.
If you’re handing out apologies Mildred I’ll have mine thanks, better late than never.
Only one a month, I’m afraid. We hold a raffle in the gaa club on the last Tuesday of every month. There’s tea and cake and everyone’s welcome.
Shame is like everything else; live with it long enough and it becomes part of the furniture…
Very philosophical of you Selina. I really like that.
Despite their best efforts? ;)
True Millie, so very true…
