Bad time to go after Hockey Donnie, Team Hollanov gon' getcha.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Just as one example, Channel 4 Dispatches reported on Mandelson and Epstein's friendship in detail back in 2019. Starmer and Streeting used his ill gotten influence and connections anyway, and defended him in the meantime. This should end both their political careers, and it should end them now.

It's here - the Super Bowl.
We talk helmet catches, trick plays, Joe Namath's hubris, Kurt Warner's Greatest Show on Turf and much more.
Was Super Bowl III the most important ever? Was a pass play actually the right call by Pete Carroll? And is Eli Manning, in fact, Tom Brady's daddy?

What an incredibly fucked up world we live in when we all see the Trump machine maneuvering its pieces to intimidate midterm voters, but so long as there's a crumb of doubt for MAGA folk to cling to, or the media to both-sides their arguments with, there's not a damn thing we can do that'll stop it.
