In a tense game of chicken, remarkable for its mix of petulance and audacity, congressional Republicans are threatening to halt U.S. aid to Ukraine—guaranteeing a Russian breakthrough and possible victory in that war—unless Democrats help pass a bill that all but locks down America’s Southern border.
If the impasse isn’t resolved by the end of next week, when Congress goes on recess until the new year, the Ukrainian army could run out of ammunition. President Joe Biden could resupply the arsenal from U.S. stockpiles without legislative approval, but the move would be temporary, and the signal sent—that Ukraine, and by implication other allies, can no longer count on U.S. support in a pinch—could be a holiday cork-popper for Russian President Vladimir Putin and all of our other adversaries.
I learn all I can about what’s going on and talk to others to educate them about what’s happening. I’m doing what I can. If that’s not enough for you, that’s a you problem. Doing _literally anything _ is better than doing nothing. Which is apparently what want me to do. This is the second time you’ve advocated for inaction. Why?
In other words, you argue with people on the internet. How helpful.
And that bothers you? What are you here for, recipes?
No, it doesn’t bother me that you think you’re fighting genocide by arguing on the internet. It amuses me.
Lol 8k comments in 5 months.
You may want to go touch grass, you seem extremely out of touch with reality.
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I was spending time with my wife and daughter. It’s called multitasking.
Multitasking is doing multiple things at once, saying I couldn’t do ______ because I was doing _____ is precisely NOT multitasking.
And #Doubt on your marriage.
you’ve been commenting every ~240 minutes for days, possibly even longer.
If your wife does exist she’s getting railed by the mailman.
You’re right about the multitasking. Thanks for caring about my wellbeing. Reciprocally, if you’re having to do math to make me look bad, I’m not your problem.
That’s an interesting response to my showing your tacit admission that you do nothing about genocide, but criticize other people for not doing anything about it either.
But it’s different for you, I’m sure.
It’s about spreading awareness. I don’t criticize others who can’t actively help, but I do criticize those who choose to ignore or apologize for it.
What awareness do you think you’re spreading by berating people? Why would anyone want to check your link when you’re being incredibly hostile? Why should anyone even believe what you have to say?
I can be way more hostile. I try not to insult or berate people, but it’s difficult when they call you “ dickcheese.”
I have a theory, that you wank on these threads as they are the only meaningful interaction in your life. So you are typing with one hand and stroking your dick with the other. Which honestly it’s quite funny keep it up.
But that’s just a theory… a wank theory.
While I agree with your intent, your tact here is pretty counterproductive. Making a point in such a way that it causes the Internet version of a mass eye roll suggests you’re getting written off.
What good does that do?
Thanks for the constructive criticism. It won’t be dismissed. It’s sometimes difficult to temper a response after another user calls you “ dickcheese.” I’ll try do better.
Lol, I feel you so hard on that. As I said in another comment which I didn’t realize was also to you, I think a lot of people agree with the point you’re trying to make. I certainly know you and I agree on a lot of things.
Kudos for staying consistent in your responses. I’m all over the place depending on my mood. I strive for that consistency. At the time, I made the comment, it appeared to be turning into a Republican hate fest. And I just wanted to remind everyone that Democrats have problems too. If I read the room wrong, I’m sorry.
You triggered, Captain Dick Cheese? What are you gonna do about it? Shoot up a school?
I got promoted. I must be doing something right.
