Japanโs Ruling Party Faces Biggest Political Scandal in Decades
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is struggling to rein in the widest financial scandal to hit his long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party in more than three decades.
Time piece on the scandal. Despite the tone of the article, I do think Kishida is surprisingly proactive in handling the mess, and it says a lot that no other PM was able to survive a 20% support rate even for a day

Had to google it and turns out I was thinking of Saint Gellert! But I read up on Boxer Bela and turns out he didn't die under the throne, but his idiot followers sat him on a horse right after and THEN he died of his wounds. Can't catch a break huh

Perfectly normal. We had another king who was crushed to death by a mountain caving on him. On the road. These pesky medieval Hungarians just lived for the *pressure*โจ

I knew about the throne, but him being called the BOXER?? cool, makes me wonder how that throne collapsed
