I didnt know it gets funnier than a whole ass United States Senator accusing a man of being at a Hawks game in ATL when he was at a Hawkeyes game in MD, BUT... He let every media outlet know he had a big moment coming so they all saw him clown himself and watched Amy Klobuchar clean up the pieces.

On Sunday, July 12th 1998, Jason (aged 8), Mark (aged 9) and Richard Quinn (aged 10) were killed in their home in Ballmoney when it was petrol-bombed by Loyalists, rioting after the Drumcree parade was banned from travelling the Garvahy Road that year. 3 brutal sectarian murders.

Why is the FAI worried about an unknown, likely exaggerated, punishment from UEFA for doing the right thing and yet the Israeli FA can throw out lies, insults and threats with no consequences? It is unthinkable that Ireland fulfils these games, the FAI must boycott, it's not too late #StopTheGames

It's so fucking depressing and humiliating to beg and beg and beg for our country to do the right thing JUST ONCE, despite it clearly being something the vast majority of Irish people support. But no - the small people clinging to the levers of power will go their own way, to our eternal shame.

A significant contributor to the gender pay gap and the continuing financial disparity between men and women is the undervaluing of all of the unpaid care work done by women in Ireland. Women all over Ireland get up early, every morning, and go to work, unpaid and unvalued.
