I should have at least 1 horse there at sunshine Meadows. I'll be there! Also, I'll be feeding horses owned by Dingus!
Can't wait for winter down here. No more humidity and hopefully not as much rain.
Let's be grateful we got some mild temperature weather the last weeks, I am....2 months away from the end of hurricane season and we're not as a much in a spaghetti model for a threat thus far. Last time was...20 years ago I was at Sunshine Meadows feeding Gurfein's champ Mr. Vic an apple (his stablemate Continentalvictor y won the Hambo), the Swedish, Norwegian whatever women there were fucking beautiful and edible like strawberry shortcake  played cards with the fellas, I demurred after being invited to hop in a sulky. That time of my life was surreal and fun and weirdly straight out of the Sopranos, one of our friends there won a huge PI lawsuit and basically took over a high end strip club as a VIP and we made it our night home for quite some time.

BREAKING: FINAL CAPITULATION! Trump ABANDONS his bid to claw back E. Jean Carroll’s $5.6 million payout after the court dismisses his appeal WITH PREJUDICE.
E. Jean Carroll has accomplished what practically no other person involved in litigation with Donald Trump has ever been able to do: finally get him to give up on fighting the court’s judgment.
After years of stalling, appealing, and demanding the impossible, Trump just quietly dropped his final legal fight against the $5.6 million he owes Carroll, and this time, he can never bring it back.
Trump agreed to dismiss his appeal "with prejudice," meaning the case is over for good, according to a September 25th order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit.
He also abandoned his bizarre demand that Carroll RETURN the money she'd already legally won. New York Daily News reporter Molly Crane-Newman called it a genuine first: "In what I believe is a first for my eyes, Trump withdraws his appeal fighting the payout of $5M in damages to E. Jean Carroll."
Let's remember exactly what this money represents. A 2023 jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s and for defaming her afterward, awarding her $5 million.
After the Supreme Court refused to even hear Trump's appeal back in June, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the money finally released in July, delivering one of the more satisfying judicial smackdowns in recent memory: "In the last analysis, defendant has been stalling this case for years. It is time for him to 'do equity' and pay the judgment."
Trump's team, naturally, still couldn't resist framing this as victimhood, releasing a statement calling it part of "Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes," even as they were simultaneously agreeing to permanently drop the fight. Trump's lawyers had already sent $5,625,005.48, judgment plus interest, straight to Carroll's legal team back in July.
Trump kept trying anyway, asking the appeals court in July to either block the payout entirely or force Carroll to give the money back, arguing she'd publicly stated her intent to donate it and had even started a foundation to distribute the funds. The court finally forced his hand, ordering him earlier this month to declare whether his motion was moot. He folded a week before that deadline.
Of course, this isn't fully over. Trump is still separately asking the Supreme Court to take up his appeal of a much larger $83.3 million defamation verdict from a different jury, a request the justices are expected to consider this fall.
But for now, on this particular case, after years of delay tactics and legal gymnastics, Trump finally did something that must have had him stewing in anger and denial: he simply paid what he owed.

THIS IS HILARIOUS: Sen. Eric Schmitt was warned that the Jack Smith texts were "unvetted" before the hearing, and he used them anyway. Then the whole thing fell apart on live TV.
According to new reporting from MS NOW, Republican staff on the Senate Judiciary Committee explicitly warned Schmitt's team that the texts they had obtained from the Justice Department were unvetted, and that it was their responsibility to verify them.
Schmitt used them anyway.
Read that again.
He then stood in front of C-SPAN cameras, insisted Jack Smith had attended an Atlanta Hawks game in February 2024, and suggested Smith was secretly working with Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
Smith looked confused.
"I definitely did not go to a Hawks game. I'm sure of that."
Schmitt smiled and said, "I think you've already perjured yourself."
Then Smith remembered where he actually was that night: at a women's college basketball game in Maryland, Iowa Hawkeyes versus Maryland. Same date. A quick Google search showed both games were played on Feb. 3, 2024.
And it gets worse.
MS NOW reports that the seat Smith was sitting in was in College Park, Maryland. The seat number in the staff texts reportedly doesn't even exist at the Hawks' arena in Atlanta.
Think about that.
All it would have taken was a few minutes of basic checking. Schmitt was told to verify the information. He skipped that step.
And instead of catching Jack Smith in a lie, he caught himself in one of the most embarrassing moments of the entire hearing.

Canadians find aspects of daily life frustrating, such as high taxes, formalities, and the need to remove shoes indoors. Economic development is also uneven between regions
& no need to edit 
All plop sees is a 'brain-dead' person repeating something that has been said countless times!

Been said too many times already! Looks like someone is 'brain-dead' as this is repeatedly on your mind!

I'm not Canadian and remove my shoes indoors, unlike some others.
More repeated banter from drew! sad, very sad! I'll tell you in case you missed it! It is a northern thing (not just a Canadian thing) on taking your shoes off indoors. I grew up in Buffalo [close enough to Canada] and you did this growing up! This is how it was and perhaps still is! FYI, Drew is the one who posted this (multiple times)! Ask him to explain it to you {if he even understands what he posts}!

You say "we agree to disagree" which you say alot, which isn't necessarily the case on my part, but rather than beat a dead horse I just let it go most of the time.
You say something and I don't agree with it and vice versa! This means we agree to disagree on things! It also means that i'm right and you're wrong and vice versa! Just what it is!
