But why these specific civilians and not the myriad of civilians from other countries that were bombed in atrocities before them? What flipped the switch for you in Ukraine?

I'm not implying anything, I'm just trying to understand your motivation, you are very passionate about this instance of Russia invading Ukraine. Why is this one so personal to you over say Hong Kong, or Crimea?

Tibs, why are your feelings so strong about the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Not trying to be a jerk, I am really just interested as to why this topic lights you up do much.

According to Biden himself, watch the video. https://www.nbcnews.com/video/president-joe-biden-u-s-will-defend-taiwan-militarily-if-china-invades-140605509957

Please, Gene, tell us about how it was all Wall Street's fault, those greedy fat cats.

I am not sure what is funny Billsy, you are so toxic that you make people instinctually disagree with you.

He actually pushes me to the right.

Please then, Mr. Frenkle, enlighten us.

My guess is that she'd say that what she's read so far disturbs her, but will leave it up to the courts to uncover the truth and the league to take appropriate action.

I honestly hope you are right, but he does have a lot of clout.

Nope to what, Tibs?

I don't think that you really understand the 2008 crash.

Oh, because he is the other, check.

Why don't you buy it Tibs? Honest answer, please.

This isnt an unreasonable take on the purpose of the second ammendment, but where it falls down for me is the fact that it assumes the founders never accounted for what would happen if the country did create a professional army. Do you really believe that these men, who had just overthrown the shackles of tyrannical government, didn't consider that their government could become the same? If they really didn't want a national army I think that would have been included in the bill of rights. But think your gun control stance is pretty pragmatic.

Just to clarify your stance here, you are saying it's traitorous to require oversight of the billions of dollars in aid that the US is funneling into a country that was too corrupt to get into NATO? And that guy is a bot, you shouldn't want to be compared to him. I have SEEN you exercise independent thought in this very thread.

I love you, Tibs, but this is just stupid, like Billstime Trump stupid.

What makes him a traitor?

Me too. Nit sure what will happen to my pod in the new world...

Outside of the opener, I usually have a seat available in my pod of 6. If anyone is looking for a single, keep me in mind. Sec 130, row 9.

Well, at least you tried not to be a garbage person. When? After you call people idiots, racists etc. You generate the hate, man. See above. You call me a Karen, I call you a garbage person. Cause and effect.

At least you admit your hypocrisy. Good gor you Billsy.

Why Mary Poppins?

I am right of center on many issues, but I think the Republicans need to run a better human being than Trump. He is too overtly narcissistic and petty for the job, and the children on the left will destroy the country if he gets elected again. I think DeSantis is a much better option, and may be savvy enough to shake some of the TDS out of half of the country.

I have been seeing this a lot out of you lately. It seems like you are trying to insult men by calling them women, which is incredibly sexist. And super ironic for someone who claims to care about women's rights. How do you reconcile that kind of douchbaggery?
