Eric Trump’s boast about his father’s impeachment acquittal backfired spectacularly
There was a lot more surprise than disappointment when the impeachment trial of Donald Trump failed to result in a guilty verdict, as nobody really expected Republican senators to vote against him. The fact that a majority of the House believed he had incited insurrection – though not the two thirds necessary to convict – […]

This Cat Traveled In A Shipping Container For Three Weeks Surviving Only On Candy
bored panda - 1 month ago
What was the biggest adventure you ever went on? It was probably not as epic as the adventure this cat went on recently. A company from Ukraine called Star Shine Shipping created a post on the 14 of January showing off the stowaway that they recently caught in one of their containers. The cat was surprisingly alive and well and didn’t look bad at all.
The kitten traveled about 3 weeks and around 3000 km from Ukraine to Israel. The only thing he had to eat was the candy they were transporting. What surprised the people that found him the most was that the cat didn’t really have any drinkable water and still managed to come out almost completely healthy.
