"plan". It was discussed that theoretically it would be possible to do in 2022 If the GOP controlled both the house and the senate. It would have required impeachment and conviction of Biden(or his death) and Harris basically simultaneously. So it's a fun thing to discuss to rile up the left, but never actually going to happen.

He absolutely could be nominated and voted on for speaker though.

Oh it absolutely changes. US politicians need to determine what's best for the US. And recently that has been to stop funding aid to Ukraine for atleast the next month, and to now enter into a new house speaker voting battle which could take weeks resolve. And those "calls for peace" have been symbolic "please don't invade, go home". There's been no serious peace negotiations, I don't even think there's been much push from anyone for negotiations. If it's in the US's best interest to continue to harm Russia, then the trickle of aid will resume, but like I said originally I personally think that mission has been accomplished, and we can be done with it and I'm in the majority.

It's got a long track record of working great. It doesn't matter what they say they want or need, what matters is what is best for the US? Even though I disagree with all of the aid we already have sent, have you noticed there is no serious calls for peace from any US leader? This plan is already in action.

Actually, if we want to assume hurting Russia is what's best for America, then we need to trickle just enough material aid to keep Ukraine's military from complete collapse and let the whole conflict grind on for a few decades. Just like what we did for Afghanistan in the 1980's, the last thing we'd want is for Ukraine to win quickly.

I'm tired of my tax dollars going to being world police. My tax dollars should go to my community not be used to fund a war half way around the world. If Ukraine would like to BUY military equipment from us then fantastic. I also hear the Taliban have a shit ton of our military equipment they might be looking to sell. The countries in Europe should have always been the first ones to step in with aid and contribute the largest amounts.

If your claim is true that Ukraine still needs half of our military budget just to survive, then that sounds like a lost cause to me. Because they obviously can't afford that, and it's certainly not the US taxpayers job to fund it.

woof. You'd think they would have gone with a more flattering photo/image. Not one reminiscent of Gollum.

It's not a real job like "Stay at home mom" isn't a real job.

I grew up in the property management industry, and my grandfather wanted me to take over running his multi million dollar property portfolio, but Growing up seeing the bullshit he had to deal with with asshole renters made me go into ANYTHING else. customers suck, especially if they live where you work.

If a person can't budget to pay off a student loan are banks even considering giving them a mortgage?
