THERE WERE 12,541 new residential and commercial buildings in 2012.
The figures released by GeoDirectory, show a year on year increase of 2 per cent compared to 2011 and a drop of 87 per cent compared to the record high of 2007, when 96,000 new buildings were identified.
There were 10,919 residential buildings, 1,245 commercial buildings and 375 dual-purpose buildings with both residential and commercial components.
Fourteen counties, Clare, Cork, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, Leitrim, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Offaly, Sligo, Tipperary and Wexford were in line with the national trend, showing increases in new building additions compared to 2011.
Cork recorded the largest number of new buildings (1,576) with Clare recording the smallest (2).
The data shows that 12 per cent of this new commercial and residential stock are vacant and 1,720 buildings across the country were under construction at the end of the year.
In addition, there was a 25 per cent year on year decrease in commercial buildings additions, with 1,245 recorded in 2012 compared to the 2011 figure of 1,661.
However, Dara Keogh, CEO, GeoDirectory said the figures showed a positive trend in the building sector:
The end of year figures for 2012 highlight a small increase in building activity. The figures for 2012 and 2011 indicate a bottoming out of the downward curve, and a leveling off of the decrease in building activity. This positive trend is supported by growth in new additions across fourteen counties, with Cork City and County recording the largest number of new buildings.

Trump obviously forgets the greatest idiot that ever wore shoe leather, G W Bush. No other US president in history has done more to f*%k up and accelerate terrorism as much as him. Creating Isis, the invasion of Iraq and destroying the lives of so many is Bush’s legacy to the world.
Don’t forget Blair.
and DeValera
Remember Blair , bush , Cheney , Clinton and yes Obama are all cut from the same cloth
Trump is just calling them out as the people who dragged the UK and the US into a global war to further national interests
the test here is to that most American of traits, SUPERPATRIOTISM
for example, once a US soldier lands on foreign soil, legally or not, you may not in any way do anything other than support that soldier and that mission. to do otherwise would be treasonous. Trump is testing this to its limits, right up to the main two soldiers of the last 8 years, Clinton and her lap dog Obama.
this is going to get real interesting, real quick
And as this theater progresses, disguising itself as a democratic process, lets have a look behind the glamour, and see what is happening in the real world. Apart from the fact that a majority of people don’t want to know, we are also been intentionally distracted from this reality.
“The Central Issue in the U.S. Presidential Campaign
The central issue in the U.S. Presidential campaign can’t even be discussed in U.S. newsmedia, because America’s media have been almost uniformly complicit all along in hiding from the American public the crucial factual information that’s necessary in order for the public to vote in an intelligent and truthfully informed way about it. No news medium wants to report its own having been complicit in anything; so, the cover-up here just continues; it has a life of its own, even though it’s a life that brings the world closer and closer to a situation which would kill billions of people, as things get increasingly out-of-control the longer this coverup continues. The cycle of virtually uniform lying thus persists, despite the growing danger it produces. This article will need to be lengthy, because the American public have been almost consistently lied-to about so many very important things — things associated with the nation’s central issue — an issue even bigger than terrorism, and than global warming, and than rising economic inequality and corruption, but which is still virtually ignored. This article is thus intended to be ‘Drano’ for a political system that has become clogged by lies just jammed down into it, now backing up and pouring out onto America’s political floor. The overflowing sludge has got to be cleaned up, and discarded. Or else — and very suddenly — it will kill us all.” Both of them are trying to distract us from the real issue that the US elite are going to murder all of us. Trump has also said he would release 100% evidence of his governments direct involvement it 9-11 as a false flag to attack Muslim countries and thus control their oil and gas distribution , murdering over one million people and displacing 6 million more.

During his earlier campaign Trump advocated destroying the Bush family completely, and threatened to work closely with following people. ” Architects and Engineers truth about 9/11″ Recording of this speech has been taken down from Utube and from all US TV outlets.

cheers for that Pat, a good read for anyone who wants to fill in some missing pieces
Bush has already voiced his disapproval of Trump’s nomination, so I fail to see why bringing Bush into the equation is relevant. It’s not like Bush and Trump are palls.
Trump is 100% right.
It’s so true, all that money and intelligence and you are all supposed to believe that ISIS just magically sprang out of the ether!?
Those brand new and immaculate tanToyota pick-up trucks and SUVs – just magically got shipped from Texas and landed in their laps?
The oil convoy’s magically eluded American Intelligence Agencies that funded ISIS? These Intelligence Agencies are the most sophisticated on the planet .
The American weapons they use just magically fell into their hands? Its all pure unadulterated rubbish.
Jason
Logic has no place for many here, I suppose the way many see it is the Bush led invasion in Iraq was worst action my a country mile.
and his father before that…..
Chlorine, it’s been reported that up to 20,000 Isis fighters have been killed in offensives in the last few years. The US is taking part in these offensives. So it doesn’t make sense that the US would create something to destroy it.
Mostly killed since Russia intervened.
Jason. “Bush has already voiced his disapproval of the Trump nomination”? Fancy that, the greatest idiot to ever be commander in chief and with the blood of thousands of innocent men, women and children on his hands disapproves. Pathetic.
The reason Bush was dragged into the “equation” is because Trump accused Obama of creating ISIS when every dog on the street knows it was Bush who created not just ISIS but had terrorists practically signing up to a whole new level of hatred.
the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria ISIS is only recently used. it used to be al qaeda, and ISIL and many others. i don’t recall it being used by Bush but maybe it is just too far back to remember
Bill Clinton actually sowed the seeds of ISIS.
i think you will find it was President Taft
@Hoofedup Bravo – I don’t know how true that statement is, but it was during Bill Clinton’s term that they were originally founded – in 1999….
Bush created ISIS by destabilising Iraq through invasion. Image Obama announced the actual date he was pulling American troops out of Iraq. Like telling the burglars you will be away for 10 days and there is no alarm on the house. Don’t say he didn’t do it, I was listening to him say it and he did it as announced.
The actual name of who cuts your head off is not important, they are Islamic terrorists and the most cruel kind.
Read Pat O’Dwyer’s post above. he tells us all that is not important, while failing to tell us what is important. He does say what the problem he has identified is. He is lying when he says Trump promises to produce 100% evidence that the 9/11 attacks were done with the direct involvement of government. There is no doubt the Irish on here are seriously screwed up and as they have votes its is no wonder I have to fight so hard to stop their elected representatives implementing their ridiculous energy policy.
I looked a little deeper and from what i can see, ISIS comes from ISI, Islamic State of Iraq, and when the crap blew up in Syria, they conveniently tagged Syria onto the end to form ISIS. It conveniently covers the two main regions where the allied forces operate,
ISIS is a name only used recently and the creation of it was during the Obama administration’s time in response to American intervention. It was created in response to the Obama led activities in the region and so it is like saying Ian Paisley was the number one recruitment officer for Provos.
people have to stop reading too much in to what Trump says sometimes. all it does is waste a load of confusion.
again, Obamas activities contributed to the creation of ISIS
And regarding the accusations that Trump in some way suggested that gun holders should shoot someone like Clinton. He never said that. That was grab as a sound bite for those people that don’t bother to form their own opinion, or are too much part of the herd to think other than what they are told to think. He meant that, a democrat led supreme court appointed by Clinton could change the second amendment and that, and the reaction from the NRA as a consequence, would create a bad day. If you want to stop it, then don’t vote for Clinton.
now, hands up all you now feel like part fo the herd?
He’s mad stark raving mad
if world politics was crudely drawn with giant children’s crayons, you’d get trump
Trump = knob of the highest order.
Surely most people can see this man is a dangerous idiot.
I’m going to miss these trump stories if he loses the election though… Hope someone is making tv show about this, house of crayons.
Patrick Gough’s remark is sad. Irish people have become client with corruption and cannot accept that the American people will not be taken for fools. I think they will elect Trump and he will be the best president since Reagan or better. America always seem to be able to elect the man for the moment. He saw through the wind energy racket years ago and see the climate change theory is not up to much good. Lets hope and prey he wins. Mick Pence is of Irish background so maybe he will visit us
http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/01/06/new-hillary-emails-reveal-true-motive-for-libya-intervention/
So is all of them in the fight for the White House?
Jester you image gave me nukes instead of crayons?
Enough stories about Trump. Its like watching drunken children fighting.
I see a sport in that, eventually!
I was gonna say something similar Garry. It would seem the way politicians all over the world behave. Childish name calling and bickering. If we behaved like that in school we were made to stop!
No David, 99% of politicians do not behave like Trump.
@Colonel Buckshot. “99% of Politicians do not behave like Trump”. Absolutely. They prefer to keep their nose down and stay slurping at the Trough.
Trump would keep a pig farm ticking over with the amount of swill that comes out of his gob.
He knows words, he has all the words. Just a shame he doesn’t know what order to put them in.
Isis founded Obama? Obama found de isis. Fond is obamas dei… /loads anagram website
Seriously think this man has mental issues. He really is capable of anything if the unbelievable happened and he won. Hopefully America will cop on in time.
The problem is that for every intelligent voter there’s some redneck that laps up every word that comes out of Trump’s crass mouth.
some people only want easy (angry) answers
and for every intelligent voter, there is some gobshyte who believes everything that comes out of Clinton and her army of main stream media – America is being played, and the world will hurt because of it, one way or the other.
But Obama did create and fund Isis , trump didn’t lie
you are forgetting the college electoral votes count more. The educated have more say
No Jack, He didn’t.
Of course not rob , Obama rocks cos he did a cool dance off on the Ellen DeGeneres show .. go watch xfactor idiot
Jack Isis Have existed since the 90′s and by the Mid 00 they were well known to international security services. So Obama founded ISIS while a little known Illinois politician is what you would have us believe
Oh Wayne , Isis before Obama were similar to ” peoples front of judea” from Monty python , but with a little help from Obama they are creating terror on a global level
And I’m the idiot, Ease off on the fox news Jack, It makes you look dumber.
What flavour is the kool aid, Jack?
Yes you are an idiot ..lol
Jack, so I will ask again you clearly stated Obama created Isis so what role did Onama play in creating Isis in 1996 at its foundation. What actions between 199 -2006 when ISIS was founded and by the mid 2000 when it came to provenance did Obama contribute too. Obama became president in 2008
Wayne .. trumps direct interpretation is inaccurate but true also , maybe trumps hidden meaning is the men behind Obama , his sponsors . Who knows ? To put it like this Isis is like Albert Einstein splitting the atom , Leo szilard is like Obama putting it to deadly effect
Wayne, disengage. Jack is never capable of rational thinking. If ISIS is Einstein and Obama is Szilard are you claiming that Szilard created Einstein? Because that was the claim, that Obama created ISIS. Oh wait, you’re basing this on your theory of what his theory is based on from what he’s hearing
Well he may not have founded them, but he us definitely responsible for their existence
How?
Why cause he pulled the troops out, that was already costing the tax payers billions too fund an unjust war. Bush administration destabilising the Middle East and creating a power vacuum, is responsible for Isis NOT Obama!
Watch Dirty Wars on Netflix, THese terror groups were created because of America but long before Obama got into power.
You might have to go back a bit farther than Obama Ross. Have a look at the way the Brits and French carved up the region after the First World War drawing neat little lines through tribal territories and throwing people together who had not mingled for centuries. Too easy to blame the US for everything
If you want to form an opinion on Trump then listen to his speeches IN FULL.
RTE and all the fed media outlets are propagating a hate campaign against him.
He may be somewhat adolescent in his demeanor but what he says has a high degree of accuracy.
There is not a single mention of the corruption scandals that Clinton is involved in with unquestioning zombie repeater RTE “reports”. Not a single mention of the Arabic, banker and corporation controling of Clinton with donations and appointments.
I heard Catriona Perry report from the DNC with no mention of scandals but reporting on Hilary Clinton looking “glowing and beautiful”. This was preceded by a their daily out of context Trump attack.
Clinton Cash Documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LYRUOd_QoM
Shes not mad though. Big difference
Very true RTE are embarrassing – must give some credit to Pat Kenny though – caught the end of an interview on Newstalk yesterday, not sure who guest was, where they covered more of her scandals than I have heard anywhere else in national media – didn’t cover everything but I was still stunned to hear the foundation etc discussed on national airwaves.. happened to switch back on an hour later and we were back to usual with some guy from the Irish times raving on about golf courses and the baby incident.. !
She seems mad enough to me https://youtu.be/6DXDU48RHLU
Ps I know it’s just a manner of speaking but I shouldn’t have said mad as I am getting tired of the way mental illness and madness is getting thrown about these days and blamed for so much – encouraged Yugely by the media I think.. I think she is just plain bad, greedy, power hungry and corrupt – not mad! Evil used to be a good old word to sum these things up – but people would think I’m mad if I started saying that..
Trump is a very dangerous man, how can you have a president of the most powerful country in the world insulting everyone he doesn’t agree with. Countries like China, Iran and Russia will not take to being pushed around or insulted by the US.
its a lot better than sending covert operations in, destabilising that country, and establishing a junta so that the country and people remain in the global US Client Market System
Nutmeg is not the issue, as Reagan once so dangerously put it
America needs alies, not enemies.
Hillary Clinton was responsible for the murder of Seth Rich
Is that aliens or allies, Chris?
their list of allies grows weaker and weaker. the main ones being weapons manufacturers and dictators with, or without, oil, the motherland and Oz
sad really
@Living
Well name the allies that have said they will not longer support America? Or are you just using the usual tactic of spouting vague misleading sentences.
i don’t have a usual tactic. and i don’t spout. keep your provocative comments for someone who cares.
countries officially supporting America in Syria
france, britain, turkey, qatar, saudi arabia, jordan
the telling part is the list that does not support it. or those that are outright against it, the other 188, that is.
even when they went into Afghanistan cure the pipeline, and Iraq to secure the oil, the alliance was small but even by those standards a decade ago, when some just sending medical teams. and the list today has shrunk
Iran is a rogue brutal regime which has just murders a nuclear technician. Obama just gave them 400,000 in cash. So they need to be though a lesson and Trump is the man to do just that. Ireland should make Shannon available for that. China is a brutal dictatorship which invaded Tibet and leaves girl babies to die of hunger. Savages and they devalue their currency to undermine western business. They are allowed to dump steel on Europe destroying jobs. Russia is not democratic, being christian they tend to less cruel but they did invade Crimea. So Trump say he will talk with them and that is good. Chris is a typical product of modern brainwashing.
Admire your passion Val – genuine questions / points though – do you not think striring up Iran / middle east even further would be very risky? I’m a big fan of western civilisation but the world has become so small the west can’t just go poking hornets nests anymore..?! Iraq, Libya, Syria are testament to this. I am hoping against hope that Trump might take a slightly more isolationist approach. He seems inclined to detante with Russia which would be good. Russia is no angel but is in an almost different universe / experience to America – it has China, Iran, Ind/Pak etc etc etc all near its doorstep. America has Mexico and Canada – it can take stir crap up anywhere in the world and remain reasonably safe – russia is kind of surrounded..! (Cuba is kind of off the agenda at the moment – wonder which way it would line up at this stage) Again you are right about China and Iran but think the west is guilty of naivety at this stage thinking it can fix / change the world – wish we would just get back to protecting our borders and become a little more self sufficient.. anyway, a rambling point – just trying to offer another understanding / take on the russia thing..

The media is too focused on this buffoon, yet there is barely any mention of the many scandals committed by the Clinton camp that we have to rely on alt sources to provide!
Very true Val, Unfortunately their are way too many idiots that only read the MSM and take it as being the whole truth.
All the rest who aren`t sucked in by it can do, is keep trying to educate them.
It’s all a conspiracy I tell you. The truth is out there, man!
The media are focused on the negative side of Trump and invent statements said to be made by him.
Val the media are insufficiently focused on the negative side of Trump. It is only Trump’s utter megalomania and outlandish gaffes one after the other that have caused the media to focus on him at all. He has got away with saying the most hateful and untrue things with little focus from the media. I do not recall any media source inventing statements said to be made by him as you allege. Why would they need to do so ? He is the gift that keeps giving. I get that you must like Trump but this ability of his supporters to deny the reality of what the man actually says is remarkable.
Finally, Trump has still refused to release his tax returns. He is hiding something and that something is I suspect very big indeed. If Hillary or any other candidate had refused to release their tax returns the media would focus non-stop on them. Far from the media being hostile to Trump they have by and alrge been very lenient.
@Val
Are you saying that he hasn’t said Obama created ISIS?
Or maybe he didn’t say Obama was a Muslim (no evidence)
Or Obama wasn’t born in the US (born in Hawaii)
Maybe Trump didn’t say he wanted to nuke the middle east
or maybe he didn’t say he would pull out of the climate change deal
Lots of things to make up even for the “conspiracy” gods of MSM.
With so many companies, tax returns is complex and long winded, anyone in business knows that and the Revenue can come after him if they want. So tax is a non issue. He has said nothing which is not true when you remove the socialist democratic spin from it. He is not a racist and accept there are good muslims. He simply wants to vet immigrants properly. This was being done in the USA, Britain and Ireland up until about 15 years ago, and no one criticised it. He promises to re open coal mines and get the country back to work again, what is wrong with that, he promises to heavily tax imports to keep jobs at home. What is wrong with that? He promises to protect gay people and veterans of the services, what is wrong with that. He promises to appoint conservative judges to the supreme court. All sound policies. Then they lie saying he wants Hillary killed, he never said that. They are desperate because he is likely to win. It won’t suit Mary Robinson, Al Gore or Eamon Ryan, but their day is long past and a whole new order is near if he wins. If he loses, god help us all
Being born in the US means little when immigration from the Middle East is encouraged. Trump did say Obama created ISIS, he is wrong but only in regard to date, GW Bush created them with the help of Tony Blair. But Obama kept them going
I never said that anything he said is right or even intelligent, he’s got no filter, and no way would I support him.
I just think the media is focusing largely on his stupid gaffes more than the massive scandals and corrupt dealing of the Clinton campaign, which is so biased of them.
@john r- well said.
He is playing the media all the way to the White House.
*Loony House
Trump is clearly mentally ill. His party needs to withdraw him for his own sake and their future, if any, after this the worst nomination in US history
Trump while prone to gaffs is a sly as a Fox and is smarter than you think.
So because you don’t like what he says, he’s mentally ill and a danger to the Republican Party?
Honestly Trump was the best of the Republican pick. He’s undeniably popular and charismatic unlike the dry wall that was Jeb Bush and he’s definitely not as extreme in his views as Ted Cruz is. Ted and Jeb would have been completely unable to beat Clinton, Trump has a chance.
Sly and prone to gaffes does not add up. Sly people are not prone to gaffes.
Trump, the candidate who wants to use the 2nd Amendment as a stepping stone to Presidential office.
The man with the support of an armed citizenry may demand power.
The man who until recently was in favour of stricter gun laws and longer waiting periods
poor choice of words there Kevin. I know it wasn’t meant but good to keep an eye on it. social intelligence issues such as the ones trump and politicians like Clinton et al portray are so much more dark triad conditions such as a narcissist, a sociopath or a machiavellian, any of which could be considered to be just plain bad, but not mad or mentally ill as such.
Nate Silver put his chance last week at about the same as an NBA star player missing a free throw. This losers odds on predict it.com slumped plenty since the DNC. I am all in for months. He doesn’t have the chance of a snowball in hell~ look at the velocity, down.
Ronald Regan once said…”We are especially not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states run by the strangest collection of misfits, Looney Tunes and squalid criminals since the advent of the Third Reich” Should this now apply to American domestic politics?
If Ronald Reagan were around today and made that comment – he would be hounded like Trump is.. getting rid of JFK was the beginning of the end, quite deliberately of any rational balanced centrist American politics.. Trump is just feeding on the corpse – while hilary is just trying to ride that corpse one last time – gonna be a big poo-storm who ever wins..
“If Ronald Reagan were around today and made that comment – he would be hounded like Trump is.”
No, he woudln’t. You may not have liked Reagan’s politics but he wasn’t am insecure, childish, petulant, sneaky, loud mouth attention seeker like Trump is.
it is a low bar when you compare anyone to trumps public persona
but cowboy ronny should never be held in higher regard than even the underside of a maggot’s belly. he created and enforced the client state market system and K-Street, two of the most evil mechanisms ever created to ensure the will of the corporations were always met. at the expense of freedom and real democracy everywhere.
Can Dain Flemming produce proof that Ronald Reagan said that. I lived through his time and I cannot remember it
Hi Val, see attached link – just Googled out of pure curiosity – but turns out he apparently did and the rest of the speech seems pretty interesting too – kind of surprised me to see how similar the narrative / situation was to today..
Val, did you think I just made it up?
Politics is just a media carp storm now.
Team Tantrum(p) will make America much biglier ,much yuger ,and much safer again ..
Hillary Clinton made something similar of a claim about Obama back in 2008. Giving the reason as to why she wasn`t bowing out of the nomination race – Jeez but her and her advisors and MSM have really really short memories.
And remember this was when Obamas security detail had just been enhanced because of perceived threats.
Hillary Clinton cited the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign to explain why she was remaining in the race despite long odds.
“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California,” Clinton told the editorial board of a South Dakota newspaper. ” I don’t understand it,” Clinton added, alluding to the calls for her to quit.
Clinton made the statement after pointing out that her husband didn’t lock up the nomination until June of 1992, trying to point out that, by past history, it’s not late in the campaign.
But Barack Obama received Secret Service protection one year ago, the earliest ever in presidential history, after reports of threats.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: “Sen. Clinton’s statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign.”
From your article:
“Earlier today I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June 1992 and 1968 and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nomination primary contests that go into June. That’s a historic fact. The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation, and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that, whatsoever. My view is that we have to look to the past and to our leaders who have inspired us and give us a lot to live up to, and I’m honored to hold Senator Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate from the state of New York and have the highest regard for the entire Kennedy family.”
Btw, I’m not much of a Clinton fan either, but why only post part of a story?
because the whole article is too long Avina – hence the link to the article, also if you look t the link, you will see that it has been proven as TRUE that she said it, this is because it is coming from a respected website known as Snopes.
Snopes are a website which is something similar to the Journals Fact Check – hope that sorts it out for you.
Also the part that you posted is actually Clinton trying to dig herself out of a hole that she made for herself after her interview, it is not relevant to the story as it is nothing but a smokescreen and a lame attempt at trying to explain away her remarks.
do you get it now?
Either that or she’s explaining that her remark was taken out of context and apologising for any offence caused…
Motherof, watch the video of her saying it, it’s pretty clear that she was asked why she hadn’t dropped out and she was referring to campaigns that ran long and won in her answer.
Germany – 1930s. …
is more analogous to the US in 2000
World wars come after trade wars???
Trump is a very angry man. In the early stages fir the Republican nomination, I thought that Trump was play acting and grandstanding so as to attract maximum media attention, behaving like a combination of an adolescent and the angry and hateful guy at the end of every American bar, at war with the world and full of incoherent prejudice. I thought that it was an act.
Now I’m starting to believe that Trump might actually be sincere in his crazed and irrational views. I’m starting to think that Trump may not be playing an act. This may be a real case of “what you see is what you get”.
In the highly unlikely circumstances that Trump is elected, the U.S. will deserve him because they will have seen him fir what he is and have voterd for him.
I feel a sense of sleaze and nastiness every time I hear Trump. He makes my skin crawl. His views make no pretence at rationality or proportionality.,
There is a sort of Gotham City at large about this. In the event of a nightmare of a Trump presidency, the Trump brand will be on everything. It will be branding and mercantilism gone mad.
Trump will do crazy things if he is President and then leverage all of this for financial gain. Trump’s Presidency will be like a super franchise, everything and everyone for sale in the middle of chaotic policies and a paranoiac egotist railing against the tight limitations of his Presidential office. (The checks and balances in the US political system will restrain the worst excesses.)
Never was there a candidate less temperamentally, morally, ethically and philosophically unsuited to the role of President of the United States of America.
Only those overwhelmed by anger, hate and nihilism will vote for Trump.
‘Trump will do crazy things if he is President and then leverage all of this for financial gain. ‘
And your ‘rational’ prediction about Hilary?
Is it not clear by now that this is all a set up? Trump and Clinton are best friends, their children are best friends, although they’ve been told to deny it. Trump is only running to ensure that Clinton gets in. He’ll act even crazier over the next while to lose further votes. If he’d wanted to win, his gob would have been closed for the last month. He had a huge lead. This is a complete ready-up and it’s mindblowing how the majority of the American electorate can’t see this.
Well Obama was quick to call Clinton a pathological liar and inept politician during their confrontations during the 2008 campaign, now he’s perfectly fine with endorsing that same pathological liar and telling Americans how she’ll make a great candidate for the presidency.
Politics is a pretty close-nit family. They’ll say anything publicly to win but they’ll go right back to the wine glasses and shared family dinners after the fact.
Not quite clear yet but becoming a little clearer but if they were devious enoigh to be in cahoots they are probably devious enough to turn / have already turned on each other.. Even if it becomes clear that they are – people would still probably take their chances with their existing preference! Just for s ake of debate and not admit g conspiracy theory – who would actually be worse in the situation that is it a stitch up? – However if independent candidate “Inaminate Carbon Rod” was able to get any mainstream media coverage – it would win by a landslide!
Hi Bob, just wondering why your last name is Twilliger and not Terwilliger
Bob?
Don’t be creating a Sideshow Del – I’m a Twilliger, dad was Twilliger – think we changed our surname from T@$#$$#iger a few generations ago – needed to separate ourselves from some clowns in the family..! We don’t like to discuss really.. also “Twill”goes with “Twitt”er which my ancestors anticipated..
My god, Shane is suffering from a severe delusion. What happened our education system?. Trump is independently wealthy and can’t bought off. He insults those who deserve to be insulted and some who don’;t, but insulting these jerks is an essential part of putting power back in the hands of the ordinary people. Its the same as the UK referendum, all the high brow millionaires were out voted by the plain people for the better good.
The campaign gives a rare opportunity to get the message across that I and many others have been prevented from doing. If America is weak we have no body to protect us, its that simple. If Hillary wins she will be sleeping while policy is make for her and that policy will not be for us
WOW Val, brilliant! Are you medically qualified to label me like this? If not, maybe you ought not to as I can’t respect or follow your medical diagnosis if not. I have my own Doc that satisfies these requirements. Also, I wouldn’t be inclined to cast even further aspersions on our education system if I was you. Not sure that you need to know my “qualifications” nor my IQ score (which in my mind doesn’t reflect actual intelligence if you study the provenance of the tests), but yeah, it has been measured to be extremely high if you get your kicks out of that. I don’t as neither my degree nor IQ are a true measure of intelligence. I might retort with actual facts as regards what sounds like deep rooted paranoia. Who is going to attack you/America? You have 90% of the world’s nuclear arsenal. Don’t you have enough of a deterrant there? I’m out of this now. Obviously the fact that you’re unaware of the fact that the fix is in must mean that I’m privy to information that you may not be aware of but don’t let that bother you, as you can’t be aware of everything Val.
@Val- as an examplar of Trump’s character ( we can’t credit him with making any political decisions so we can only rely on his business dealings) , would you like to comment on Trump University and how it demonstrates Trump’s concern for ‘ordinary people’?
Hillary will spend 85% of the debates in the bathroom changing her adult diapers.
Shoo troll
Lookingvforward to the debates, aren’t y’all? Hillary’s coughing fits, ‘extended’ bathroom breaks and crazy bobble head seizures and ‘short circuits’. I’m gonna have my popcorn ready :)
Will she be able to stand longer than 5 mins? Don’t forget she will have no nurse on stand by to give her a whack of valium.
i respect you for trying to make that a thing, despite it being made up and no-one listening to you
You know, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.
Chlorines, that’s a lovely gossip site you’ve found there
He certainly has the right initials
The dts
Yeah,I suppose when you back a RAT into a corner it will do anything to survive! That’s it for him now,having no respect for the US president making such a scurrilous remark.Time to leave the stage .what a total embarrassment.
To be fair he has been after Obama for about 9 years now
Trump you horrible man George W Bush and his lap dog Blair founded Isis.
Donald Trump continues to wear down what-difference-does-it-make-now Hillary Clinton’s scare lead gained by wheeling out crooked immigration lawyer MB-connected Khizr Khan doing his anti Trump Jihad speech and the totally mis-reported ‘Get that baby out of here’ remark by Trump in latest Bloomberg poll.
Go Trump! Go!

——”Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump is shrinking, with a new poll released Wednesday showing her margin down to 4 points.
Clinton notched 44 percent to Trump’s 40 percent in the Bloomberg Politics poll, which had Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson at 9 percent, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein tallied 4 percent.—”

Jesus, Patrick. There’s something seriously wrong with you.
There is a hidden agreement among the worlds political parties to keep the subject of climate change off the debates during election campaigns. Never mentioned in the British or Irish general election run ups. Now independently minded Trump comes out to promise he will re-open coal mines shut down by Obama and return to fossil fuel to create jobs. The obvious response from the Hillary camp (she has already backed measures to cut greenhouse gasses) is to say that Trump’s proposals will cause climate change. This would in turn open up the debate between Hillary and Trump and even force it to become a topic during televised debates. If I am correct, that the whole climate change thing is a ponzi scheme designed by big vested interests to tax the living daylights out of the people and that no one can substantiate the scientific theory behind it, then Hillary will be unable to discuss and back it up. This could cause the public and some media to move the topic to the forefront of the campaign and in doing so encourage more debate. All ponzi schemes end when some media outlet points out that there is no financial or business reason to continue paying for it. Keep this in mind from now to November. If correct it proves climate change is a hoax. If not a hoax, it cannot be backed up by existing data they cannot allow it be debated. It cost more than all internet shopping annually and hits the poor hardest. It kills jobs in Europe handing them to China and India. Surely it reasonable to expect it a topic in the US presidential campaign. Hopefully you will now take a fresh look at this as the campaign unfolds. You can watch Fox News on you internet for a small fee of about 10 euros a month for average viewing time. We are being censored in Ireland and Britain, but as usual the Americans don’t do censorship very well.
“if I am correct, that the whole climate change thing is a ponzi scheme” let me save you the trouble…You’re not correct
@Val- that is a long post, but I got caught at the first line “there is hidden agreement among the world’s political parties”- you ask others to back up their statements and postulate that as an opening statement? Some reasonable sources please….
@ Chlorines72 You really are a rather nasty piece of work, aren’t you? Let’s hope you are always young and healthy and that when you are in your sixties you will be as physically fit and active as Hillary Clinton. Anyway, one of the greatest American Presidents ever. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was wheelchair-bound, but still led his country to victory in the Second World War. I suppose you would mock his (real) disability just as you sneer at the disabilities you imagine (or hope for) in Hillary Clinton.
You are one sick puppy.
@fintan- this has been bothering me too. Regardless of the truth (you know she fainted in 2005!) the obvious enjoyment in celebrating physical frailty in someone, even if you don’t like them, is frankly bizarre. Great point about FDR too.
Did anyone see that episode of South Park where the presidential battle was a big cover up, and it was actually a big plot to steal the Hop Diamond from under the White House?
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are on to something there, for sure. ;-)
Blame Canada
“words matter”. Then why do you keep lying Hilary? Neither one of them is fit for the office.
So according to Trump, the outgoing president founded ISIS and based on appearances the current potential candidates are their weapons provider and their chief recruiter.
Here is the whole reason for Syria war , refugee crisis and Isis . http://afekoil.co.il/en/
All whats happening could of been stopped all cause of natural resources and deals between the the EU the USA and the UK this why Obama said the UK should stay in EU not cause a deal wont happen it just makes more paper work another front company more legal work and fees cause we left nothing to do with peoples lives and freedoms. There were loads of calls from Gaddafi to Nub 10 looking for help but the USA said leave him be.
Then with Afghanistan loads were allowed free pass to Iraq we the USA left huge faults of weapons open so they cold be taken by IS and Libyan was not the only Africa country with this problem of IS groups many others to mainly were Chinese were working and were actual doing some good with keeping things stay stable they could of easily fraught but just closed up and not added to steering the pot.
Obama may of been in Government it was started by other governments incl the UK but Obama kept it going, but would of Trump do any different, maybe he might of not brought it to the EU or is own shores.
People are getting bored of him at this stage. He had an outside chance at one stage but this just seems like desperation now from a man who knows his popularity is on the wane.
There is something very wrong with this old fella. A few years back a book, ThePsychopath Test, came out. Many I know read it and went on to read other books on the same topic. A great book I recommend for the insights it gives into the practices and motivations of Trumpsters emerging from the muck all around the world.
In fairness to Obama, he did not found ISIS, that honour is given to George W Bush and Tony Blair. However, Obama advanced ISIS by killing Gaddafi in Libya where ISIS now runs amok. Obama’s objective is to destroy Israel. The objective of all European parties and the American Democratic party and some of the Republican party is to build a socialist democracy where voters can have any politicians they chose so long as they are socialist democrats with green policy run by bankers and renewable energy opportunists. Trump has them in a tizzy because he challenges socialist democracy. UKIP is similar. I think Trump will get elected and then a witch hunt will begin against socialist democrats when their threatuary is exposed.
The 2nd amendment is also a huge threat to social democrats which is why they want to take away the guns and build their dictatorship.
The only person with dictatorial policies has been, Trump ..Funny that eh?
Whilst it looks like Assange might drop a barrel bomb on that woman just before the poll the other option needs one too. It’s no wonder that Theocracies in the middle east hate democracy when they see the results of the US version…or even the likes of the Irish one.
Trump, you are so fired!
Well, he did say he’d go after the family of terrorists.
Anyway.
Obama should be more worried about his daughter Malia smoking pot at the Lollapalooza festival.
Shocking behaviour for the daughter of the President of the United States.
Absolutely shocking.
have your say
