My DDP pick. Actually a pretty interesting guy. He usually ate three eels for lunch, could eat two full sized cakes as a snack and stuffed his face with camembert cheese at tournaments in his older years. I recall in his 70s he was charged for creating a cat population by feeding strays. Big name […]

Donald J Trump 22nd January 2026
He's rushing to make up for his last term. There were people around him in his first term to steer him away from some crazy shit. He will also be aware that the polls aren't looking great for him at the elections in November where he seems likely to lose at least one branch of […]

Donald J Trump 22nd January 2026
I think they told him that he doesn't have that long left. I don't necessarily mean weeks or months. But at most a few years until he strokes out or dies of heart failure, less than 5 years. That's why he's rushing so much, especially with this peace council thing that is supposed to get […]
