Trump's "peace plan" for #Ukraine is really about the #US and #Russia gutting it like a trout. And kicking the #EU in the balls to boot. It's demeaning, insulting, and malevolent. IOW, classic Trump/Putin.

Hi #stationery folks.
I'm looking for a 3- or 6-hole punch, with 19mm (3/4") spacing. The trick is, the holes need to be only 3.5mm (5/32") diameter.
Like a filofax personal, but with smaller holes.
Anyone know of such a beast?
