5. It works fine on my phone

[Kaleva]

8. I had to shut my phone off and restart

It was mostly adds for Bitcoin. I couldn't close them so I restarted my phone. They are gone now.

9. Thats strange, it works just fine on mine

if anybody else has a problem with it I'll just delete the post...sorry

[Kaleva]

14. No problem!

I might have hit an ad when swiping up and that got the ball rolling!

19. I think the ads are associated with DU, not the links.

I was having that problem yesterday, the same thing happened on two different phones.

Edit: We're not alone.

6. I'm starting to hope that one consequence of this was will be the overturn of Belarus's gov't ...

... and Lukashenko's replacement by the probable real winner of the last election, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sviatlana_Tsikhanouskaya

Of explosions around Belarus yesterday? Did it turn out to be another Twitter myth?

explosions.

12. Oxplosions!

OMG, they're weaponizing oxen now? That could get messy.

Sorry, highplainsdem. I just couldn't resist. I hope you don't take offense.

13. LOL! No, but I fixed that typo.

11. Pootie is in doo-doo. nt

15. Why doesn't Ukraine hire professional mercenary to fight with them?

USA used them in Iraq. Private contractor companies like the one formally known as Black Water have thousands of soldiers to recruit from. I think Black Water had access to 100,00 fighters at one time. Of course, Erik Prince only wanted to kill Muslims.

17. because a lot of them probably think Putin is working with Trump to expose biolabs

[2naSalit]

18. Probably because they don't need to.

Looks like lots of volunteers are showing up for free. Pooty, on the other hand, can't seem to keep soldiers on the field and also has a serious recruitment problem.

I wonder how pooty thinks he's going to pay mercenaries in the first place, it's not like everybody doesn't know that his access to funds in shrinking.
