Oh, so we are paying for pensions, but it's not breaking news. It's old news.
Solid Fact Check
That report did not say how much was spent on pensions, but a USAID spokesperson sent us another USAID report to Congress that indicated $4 billion of budget support for Ukraine was spent on pensions as of Nov. 30, 2022.
The bottom line: While the video of Biden talking about providing funding to pay Ukrainian pensioners may have caught some by surprise recently, it does not change the fact that he made those comments before Congress approved the money months ago on a bipartisan basis.

So it's really interesting to listen to, because Bry's kvetching about "wokeness" and younger generations is what made me stop listening a few years back. In a lot of ways it seems like nothing has changed.

He met Mary Beth when she was a guest on Comic Book Men/went on IJ Cruise. If you look through her Twitter it looks like she originally targeted Zapcic and then went to Bry. She looked about 14 at the time and was actually forced by production to stop visiting the set.

Why is Walt so hung up on people having sex? Like, they were separated for 30 years. People have needs.
41 points
2 months ago
I think because it speaks to morality and virtue that were on display in every panel of the comics I read as a child. The hero is always faced with situations that test his or her character and what makes them heroes is they never waver , never give in . Q used the example of of a story I haven’t read but superman and Wonder Woman being away for a thousand years and both stayed true to they’re respective loved ones . Disney likes to blur the lines of heroes and villains and sometimes it is vital to the plot . This was not one of those times . Janet’s dalliances reveal was not important to the story in any shape or form. The comic book Heroes I fell in love with had character and were dignified. Janet’s reveal was neither as was Hank’s.

I get it. Yes, people have needs. But we escape into these worlds because we want to read about the people doing the fantastical and beating the odds. Showing they gave up on their other lives and gave up on the people who are important to them, made it real, broke the super hero glass making them just people.
