@drquinn89 COPE ON, HES A GERMAN NOW

[smolenskiii]

@glowpunk its very interesting to see a humble Irish leader, you look weak, frail, and even scared, a leader of a nation that once had its hand in the pot , we are all to blame, we did not see what was coming,

[smolenskiii]

@glowpunk sell off aer lingus , the ESB, and note we are one off the last countries that hold those bodies in state hands, you forget state hands are all the people not yours,

[smolenskiii]

@glowpunk ange,

you know this is what they have had in mind for 20 years, coffee and one biscuit,and you became a German puppet,

[smolenskiii]

@glowpunk they were appointed not elected, you know what this means? Or need I spell it out?

[smolenskiii]

@glowpunk , grow up Edna your selling or giving the national silver away, Please look at the surnames of those you are dealing with and there ancestors, none have been elected from a constituency,

[smolenskiii]

@glowpunk Such an easy take over, after the aggressive campaign of the past ww2, they are taken European countries one by one, no rush, 

[smolenskiii]

@glowpunk without one bullet been fired, they gave us money they knew we could never pay back, now its time for payback, stock control of a country.

[smolenskiii]

Your a shame, how can you look at us and feel your the leader of a country your selling off,. be somebody take account and stand up to them, or fall with your puppet friends, its your choice, make the right one, be a Man. a true Irish Man, and Keep Ireland in Irish Hands,

[SuperStickmanML13]

@CosmicTurbo949 Yes, children do become adults. That's not a mistake, ya eejit. I will tell you a mistake he made, though: "Difficult decisions are never easy." Jesus Enda, what would we do without ya?

[mahigo14]

[mahigo14]

@grimaces he is a puppet of the german and french

[loser33user]

So he says he wants to help the most vulnerable in our society, and then a few days later he cuts disability benefit. So much sense.

[grimaces]

Why does someone who is telling the truth still look like a puppet?

[SgtByrne101]
