Interesting development.
As predicted, Moscow Taylor Greene, the maga extremist endorsed by stoker, filed a motion to remove Mike Johnson from speakership, exactly because he was brave enough to push forward the Ukraine aid.

He could heve been removed if not from the support from a large majority of Democrats, who... guess what... voted to keep a Republican in power.

Happy to report two events:

- Last month was my best April ever.
- My lifetime earnings crossed $400K

Congratulations on these figures! I know very, very few contributors who can achieve such success with such a small portfolio. They are my role models. And you, too, have remained true to your motto "rather less, but very good".

If I see it correctly, you have an RPF (return per file - images and videos mixed, with a ratio of approx. 4:1) of around $200. That's really good!

We can still argue about whether talent is part of it or not. I say yes, you say no. But ultimately it doesn't really matter. The fact is: you deliver "stocky" image material - and that pays off.

What I can't remember: Did I ever ask you how long you've been offering on microstock?

Thanks, Wilm, cobalt and Pacesetter.

Yes, we can still argue. This job doesnt require talent. Its very much engineering, and not only about how to operate the equipment. Once youve identified the formula, you apply it over and over again. Zero Talent is required for such repetitive work....  ;)
We are producers, not artists.... like or not.

About your question: In September 2013, I uploaded my first photo to Shutterstock.

P.S. Averages can be deceiving. In this case, the Pareto principle works better (my top seller, a photo, brought in over $8k, my best video, over $7k).

From Kyiv Independent:

"While Putin doubtless will have prepared for new offensive operations, I suspect he has been banking more on Trump riding to the rescue than on his own forces."

Defying Trumpian isolationists and Putin appeasers on their own side of the aisle, congressional Republicans, along with the Democrats, have approved the support that Ukrainians have desperately been awaiting.

You should be so thankful for the unanimous Democrat vote which

Democrats - go to he.ll with your meager help and pro-Russian policies.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian defense is in hell because of the maga isolationist policies that prevented them from accessing the weapons and ammunition Biden, the Democrats and the old-school Republican minority were ready to send to the front line, many months ago.

But only brainwashed putin's useful idiots will continue to cheer for maga isolationist clowns when faced with the overwhelming evidence that maga will vote against Ukraine, no matter what.

Another lie and propaganda from Democratic Party trolls.
Everyone knows that in 2022, the Republicans forced Biden to sign the Lend-Lease law for Ukraine. Biden, of course, signed it, but put zero weapons under this law. The same applies to the transfer of aviation and missiles to Ukraine. In this topic, I already provided a link to the Republican proposals and their victory plan for Ukraine. But KGB agent Biden did not comply with these proposals.
The President of the United States decides who is given how many and what kind of weapons. Biden works for putin, and expects support from putin in the US elections. This is all you need to know about Biden and the US Democrats.

US Democrats - fuck you!
What your poor comprehension skills prevent you from realizing is that the report you are referring to was not made by maga, which is now controlling the Republican Party.

That report was made by three old-school republicans who are part of the 100 minority who voted for Ukraine, while the maga majority of 112 voted against it.

You should be so thankful for the unanimous Democrat vote which, combined with the old-school Republican minority vote (including the 3 authors of that report), succeeded in approving military aid for Ukraine.

Only putin's useful idiots believe that maga isolationist clowns, who now control the Republican Party, will ever vote in favor of Ukraine.

Ukraine is now outgunned 10:1 or so.
Under US Democrats, Russians have always had an advantage over Ukraine.

Your poor understanding of democratic principles is preventing you from realizing that the US is NOT "under Democrats."

The House of Representatives holds significant decision-making power in the US, and it is currently "under Republican" control.
They are the reason the weapons supplies from Ukraine were delayed for far too long.

But putin's useful idiots have been brainwashed to believe that maga is good for Ukraine, despite overwhelming evidence proving the contrary.

Ukraine retreats from Donetsk villages, citing lack of ammo
https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-army-withdraw-three-villages-donetsk-russia-lack-ammo-zelenskyy/

Sad consequence of a majority of Republicans delaying all weapons supplies for Ukraine for many months: Ukraine is now outgunned 10:1 or so.

russia is now pushing hard to maximize its territorial gains before the long-awaited weapons shipments (a majority of republicans voted against) reach the front line.

putin's useful idiots are cheering for these delays ("minor problems," they say), being rather focused on internal US political squabbles, thousands of miles away from the front lines where their compatriots are dying without ammunition to defend themselves against an imperialist regime.

Communists with Ukrainian flags, always voting the way KGB agent Biden tells them.
The US Democratic Party is a fascist party. Only in fascist parties everyone votes the same way, as their Fuhrer tells them.
The Republican Party of the United States is a democratic party in which party members have the right to have their own opinions and promote policies for the benefit of the people of the United States.

Only putin's useful idiots would say that Ukraine does not need the support of the people of the United States.
A majority of the Republican Party believes that to be true, and you are okay with that - a normal thought among putin's useful idiots.

3. US Democrats are forcing Ukraine to fight with Russian methods of the First World War

For too many months, before Mike Johnson woke up and allowed the bill meant to supply Ukraine with desperately needed weapons to be voted on with Democratic unanimity, your dear maga clowns forced Ukraine to fight not only outnumbered but also outgunned and without ammunition.
This is why Avdiivka and now Ocheretyne have been lost, and even more land will be lost in the coming days until the delayed weapons reach the front line.

What is even worse is that many Ukrainians unnecessarily died because of your maga darlings isolationist policies: "minor problems," say putin's useful idiots.

"Quote from Voloshyn: "The enemy managed to break through and establish a foothold in a certain part of this settlement [Ocheretyne ed.]. Currently, the unit in which the enemy is located is under our fire control.

Your poor comprehension of written words and your wishful thinking are already notorious.

"Under fire control" doesn't mean under control.
"Under fire control" means the russians have occupied it, and the Ukrainians are shooting at them.

Both that well-informed (unlike you) vlogger and pravda.com.ua have published the same map.
Check it again (attached), and you'll realise the sad consequences of your dear maga clowns anti-Ukraine policies: many Ukrainian lives, precious equipment (about to be paraded in Moscow) and land lost in the battle of Avdiivka and the subsequent russian advance all the way into Ocheretyne.

"Just minor problems" muffles stoker with his head in the sand.

As for Ocheretyne, this line of defense is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and this is the main thing.

Except that it's not. Your information is outdated. Most of the things you post have a delay of a few days at best, often much more. You should up your game; you're not only misinformed but also too slow.

Unfortunately, Ocheretyne is now virtually under russian control. See it confirmed, last night, by this well-informed Ukrainian vlogger (book his channel)

https://youtu.be/z3aFIdf0fiI

You can thank your beloved maga clowns for all this, for delaying the bill that was meant to supply weapons for the Ukrainian defense. It took far too long for Mike Johnson to be convinced to change his mind, and even then, a majority of Republicans still voted against it.

Rest assured that even if the US magically seals the border so that only US citizens are allowed to enter and no one else, and even if the national debt is magically canceled, these maga isolationist clowns would still vote against Ukraine. All those objections you and other gullible poor souls still believe in are just for show.

This is not only a great post, but 100% accurate. Every single Ukrainian flag waving commie needs to be held as traitors to the United States of America 😡😡😡


Just putin's apologists and putin's useful idiots being sore losers. Not surprisingly, their position is very similar to the position expressed by russian propagandists (see medvedev's statement below).

Any other normal person in the world would be proud to see the flag of their country becoming the symbol of freedom and fight against oppression and dictatorship...

But not brainwashed putin's useful idiots, who never had a problem with trump's and confederate flags waved inside the Capitol... or who defend and endorse maga clowns calling Ukrainians na*zis.

See this clip with what logical common sense Ukrainians have to say about yesterdays events and a soldier's reaction to the vote, expressed in the Donbas defensive trenches (attached).

This assistance to Ukraine has no strategic plan, which means the money will be wasted. Military assistance is small. There is no Lend Lease, no aviation.

Ukrainians' opinion:

But, but, but... Ukainian's opinion:

Thanks to the US Republican Party, long-range ATACMS missiles were included in military assistance to Ukraine. This is already interesting. Such a bill needs to be passed;

Now, the bill you endorsed, which you wished to be passed, is passed but no longer good, only because 100% of the Democrats voted for it while your anti-Ukrainian maga darlings rejected it.

You caught your alter ego with his pants down. Congratulations!

PS. Moscow Taylor Greene (do you know her? The same clown your alter ego endorsed after she called Ukrainians na*zis) made even the NY Post front page.

This bill has not yet passed all stages of voting in Congress and it is unknown when Biden will sign it.

Just empty words, because you must say something even when you have nothing to say. You persist in your delusions instead of graciously accepting that you were wrong.

So let's go again:
I can easily predict that the Senate Democrats will approve this bill with virtual unanimity.

I can also predict that enough old-school republicans will join them so that this bill will pass.

I can also predict that maga clowns (Rand Paul, JD Vance, Josh Hawley, etc) will oppose this bill.

I can also predict that Biden will approve it with absolutely no delays and the bill you endorsed will become law.

You're welcome!

Now, remember MTG, aka "Moscow" Taylor Greene? The same MTG you defended and endorsed after she called Ukrainians na*zis?
If so, then pray for Ukraine's savior, Mike Johnson, since all anti-Ukraine maga clowns led by your darling MTG, now want his "traitor" head on a spike.

So, now I think that is very likely that stoker2014 is a russian troll. And I think he should be treated as such. I mean, how can a normal person post such stupidities multiple times per day?
In my opinion, you are giving him too much credit. I don't think he is a troll.
Please remember that all of putin's useful idiots parrot his propaganda and it's hard to make the difference.

Biden's ties to Putin:
Biden in Moscow, during the times of the USSR and the KGB. You cant tell from him that he has a bad attitude towards the fascist country.

You can only tell this:

Choosing to make selective choices among competing evidence, so as to emphasize those results that support a given position, while ignoring or dismissing any findings that do not support it, is a practice known as "cherry picking" and is a hallmark of poor science or pseudo-science

See below, many American presidents showing the same "bad attitude" during their official visits in Moscow.
But only in your head all this means that they were pro-russia.
