He’s disappointed that Putin didn’t conquer Ukraine within the first week of the war?

TVP World @tvpworld.bsky.social · 3h

“I am very disappointed” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump said, speaking from the Oval Office on Tuesday. The U.S. President said that Putin could have won the war in Ukraine within the first week, but instead the conflict has dragged on for nearly four years.

It’s the equivalent of a vaccination campaign. The aim is to make Trump voters immune to the messages of the No Kings crowds.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

How people survive in Kostiantynivka amid constant Russian air attacks.

The Russian army strikes the city with drones, artillery, and air bombs. The people who still remain there cook food over open fires, no longer react to drones, and hide from shelling in the basements of shattered buildings.

De VVD maakt van de hypotheekrenteaftrek nagenoeg een breekpunt. Je zou toch van harte hopen dat CDA, GL-PvdA en D66 zonder de VVD een kabinet kunnen vormen. Laat die partij maar in haar eigen sop gaar koken. #RTLdebat

I choose to not call it that because it isn’t. The fuss about the 45 minutes claim had nothing to do with the legality of the military intervention. The latter issue will remain a debating point on media like this, but in practical terms it was settled at the time by Security Council resolution 1441

Ik vind het afschuwelijk dat het eufemisme ‘anti-immigratie’ door de journalistiek zo omarmd is. Het is gewoon een in- en in-racistische demonstratie. Het gaat nooit om werknemers bij ASML, of om mijn Belgische echtgenoot, of om die Pool die zwart hun schuurtje schildert. En dat weten we allemaal.

Don’t think you can draw any conclusions from that fact. Not even sure it was a huge miscalculation.
