A safe assumption is that every profession has its challenges, aspects that are “unfair”, etc. I respect teachers because I’ve experienced many good ones. I just find it interesting that someone who is totally reliant on tax dollars for his income likes to constantly rail against taxes and government. It’d be like someone working for JP Morgan bitching about the stupidity of public exchanges.

So you moved away from the “we have it the worst” mantra once proven wrong and now just are sticking to more fringe arguments? Interesting tactic I guess

You realize you started the “teachers have it bad” shit right? No one else brought it up but you.
We just pointed out how idiotic you sounded when comparing how bad teachers have it compared to private sector professionals.
You started it, not us. Take the L.
So Russia is going to invade Ukraine.
THe UN is scrambling to help stop it.
Biden is going to do nothing because he is owned by Russia.
Germany is not going to do anything because Biden gave Russia the keys to Eastern Europe energy.
Well done dipshit
The Dems just filibustered a vote to sanction Russia and their pipeline too. Lol the same filibuster they’ve been crying about for a year. It would be humerous if it wasn’t so dumb.

Putin has owned his US counterpart since he came into office. This situation didn’t happen in the last 12 months. I agree that Biden won’t do anything. I doubt he even understands the specifics of the situation. Even if he did, he hasn’t the stomach to lock eyes with Vlad and call him out.
Because we elect performers and celebrities, we put people like W, Obama, Trump and now Biden up against a guy who knows history, understands others weaknesses and is willing to play the long game. This is the equivalent of the alcohol-fueled club champion at the local country club teeing it up against Tiger Woods.

That and I remember not to long ago the Dems were worried someone was going to rip up sanctions on Russia.

Yeah and during the last administration a couple of hundred Russians returned home from Syria in body bags. Also strange.

The brilliant thing about that ploy is it will also piss off the climate change nazis.
They've learned nothing from the election of Trump. Right back to identity and enviro politics a large majority of the country opposes. They put every flavor of that up there in the primary, and the voters chose...Biden.

I don’t doubt that he sees Biden as a weak adversary who will do nothing and doesn’t even comprehend the situation. But none of our presidents - since Putin’s been there have even been close to the challenge of holding this guy in check. W could “see (the humanity) in his soul”, Obama got it all fixed with his “reset”, Trump got hosed into wanting to be his buddy, and Biden thinks he’s solved Russian aggression with a stern phone call. Not since Reagan have we had the type of leader necessary to counter a foe like Putin. Not even close. It’s the accumulation of years of ineptitude that has led us to where we are today.
Since 1991, this had been brewing. No way the Russia/the USSR was going to lose all that area, watch NATO increase and not act.
Didn't Obama scrap George W. Bush's proposed ballistic missile defense plan for Europe. Interceptors in Poland and Czech Republic. Very strange.

After 1918, it had been brewing. No way Germany was going to lose all that area and watch the allies increase and not act.
The similarities to 1930's Europe are stark.
Leaders ascending to power who were once loyal foot soldiers, humiliated by their leaders capitulation.
Rearming.
Sudetenland/Crimea. Vexed by fellow countrymen behind the lines of borders drawn by the victors. Then easily annexed with nothing more than bitching.
Poland/Ukraine. A major country split between west and east. Carved in half by European powers. Then going to war for.
The Ukraine does not have a binding defense agreement like Poland but three small states to the north do. Two of which have 1/4 Russian populations. Just a stones throw from Moscow. Putin wants them back in fold.
The conditions that existed nearly 100 years ago are no less dangerous today.

Really strange. You would figure that he would have done this when he had his puppet in the White House for 4 years. Pretty hilarious to see the russian collusion wackos silent over all of this. These wackos weren’t just dumbasses making comments on Twitter either.
None of this is surprising if you look back at history. This dates back to JFK and maybe even before JFK. Historically speaking, the Russians/Soviets have always viewed democrat presidents as pussies.
With that being said, I will agree with Biden staying out of it.
Biden handed Nordstream 2 pipeline to Russia. They literally control whether the lights come on in Germany. Who in the hell would do that? Why in the hell would you do that?
There is your Russian collusion.
Yea I know BreITbArT......... but even if its 10% true, the WH is owned by China.
Buckle up for war.

We're about due. After giving freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan (plus trouncing people who "hated us because we were free"), it's about time for a new war.
Thank you for you keeping us free.
Well, we're in a Fourth Turning anyway, which almost always ends in a major war, so this was inevitable. The next decade is going to be LIT.
