Whataboutery - your default means of debate. On the particular point made in the CNN article, does anyone in Penn believe that Harris won't ban fracking? Trump and Vance are visible and being interviewed nearly everyday. Harris and self-proclaimed Coach Knucklehead are not engaging in that...
"Lies" beginning to weigh on public's perception of Harris, along with her "lack of visibility".

MM should have gone second as Taoiseach and then he would have been the one to make the call. He might even had LV srill running FG, instead of the Boy Wonder.
Walz called himself a "knucklehead" (correct) and said he was "friends with school shooters". He performed poorly. Harris made a poor choice of running mate.
Who brought in the smoking ban that, as noted above, killed the Irish trade? Someone whose party colleagues are afraid to be seen eating meat and two veg in the Dail restaurant in case he gives out to them for not eating healthily.
MM says government must do more for small businesses and then does nothing in the Budget. He's just a servant of big business interests and his own.

CNN panelist: Walz is "a buffoon" - "there's a reason they don't let him do interviews". "The only teacher in the country who openly boasts that none of his students have gone to an Ivy League college."...
MM, again, showing his true, sleveen colours: FFG go into coalition with the Soc Dems, Labour or Greens and we'll get full-blown hate speech laws. FFG go into coalition with rural TDs, no hate speech law. The man has zero political principles.
The whole bill isn't dead though. If a violent crime is deemed to be motivated by 'hate' then a heavier sentence is to be applied. So some madness still remains.
Witness head puppet MM taking umbrage with Maria Steen in the referendum debate. He tried to belittle her when she was destroying his efforts at argument, including suggesting that she led the 'No' campaign in the 1995 referendum. Things MM believes in absolutely nothing.
Roddy is belittled by this too. He said when he became leader of the Greens that passing the hate speech bill was his priority (he seems to have little interest in green policies).
You're spot on, especially that last sentence. LV and co. thought the public would not take notice of this bill. Most haven't but enough objected (led by McDowell, Mullen and other senators) for the puppets to realise that when the first dubious court case arose there would be backlash. LV will...
MM at the top of his game, attacking the dead. Talk about kicking a man when he is down, six feet under the ground.
