            “I will be a president for one term only, I will not seek election for a second term”

            Little enough for ya?

            It’s not a matter of opinion.

            When he said he would only run for a term, there was no basis for a lie. Deciding to run for a second term took place well after his original statement.

            You can say he flip flopped, or broke his word but he didnt lie.

            do you live in his head or something? no you don’t. so you don’t know for a fact whether it was a strategic/premeditated thing or whether it was something more nuanced. you choose to believe the version of the story being relayed to you. and that’s ok. but you can’t know for a fact whether he lied or not. what you are writing here is merely opinion, conjecture.

            personally I think he quickly got the hang of the gig, realised he’d won the lotto at some point and decided he’ll yeah I’m having this. but that’s my opinion, conjecture.

          I thought that it had been cleared up, and that the dog grooming cost €600, and that Higgins paid for it himself…

            This straight talking business won’t go down well with Casey’s mob Rob. They’ve nothing but extravagance to challenge MDH on.

            Well I have a long haired German Shepherd, twice a year clip and thin €140 so €600 for two similar sized dogs seems realistic , €10,000 is just pulled from someone’s Anglo Irish

        Which I did, today.

    I want my president to stay in a presidential suite when he’s out. I want my president to have done their time in public office. I want my president to have worked for the best interest of society not the economy.
