The animals were among a group of four horses that broke free during routine exercises Wednesday near Buckingham Palace and caused chaos as they galloped loose through central London during morning rush hour. A fifth horse that tried to bolt hadn’t been able to break free. Two of the horses underwent operations and one was transferred to an equine hospital, the British Army posted on X. “Three of them are fine, two of them are unfortunately in a relatively serious condition and obviously we will be monitoring that condition,” defense minister James Cartlidge told Sky News. “They are in a serious condition, but as I understand, still alive.” Three soldiers thrown from their steeds were hospitalized with injuries, but were expected to fully recover and return to duty. The loose horses from the Household Cavalry, the ceremonial guard of the monarch and a feature of state functions in London, were named as Vida, Quaker, Trojan and Tennyson. Cartlidge identified Vida as the white horse seen drenched in blood as it galloped down Aldwych, in between London’s historic financial center and the busy West End theater district. Vida ran alongside a black horse named Quaker that could be seen sideswiping a taxi as it turned into oncoming traffic after running through a red light at an intersection. During the wild spectacle captured by stunned commuters and shared on social media, the horses had near misses with cyclists and a rider on a motorbike at a traffic light. Witnesses saw one of the animals crash into a taxi outside the Clermont Hotel, shattering windows. Another slammed into a tour bus, smashing the windshield.
  2. Goddamn. She saw that. I talked / facetimed her; she’s shaken up. She wanted to see our dogs.
  3. Wife said the glass on the bus had a big spiderweb crack from the impact from the white horse’s head.
  4. Mrs. GenXer is in london right now and saw this happen live when she was uber-ing to her conference. Something dropped from a construction site and spooked the horses. She saw four horses throwing their riders. She saw the white horse run into a bus.
  5. I’m likely totally wrong as I don’t share the same worldview and strategy as a malignant narcissist but I think he’s trying to terrorize jurors so that they’ll withdraw or just not show up. If enough drop out, then it’s a mistrial? If he can get his legion of stupids to flood the courthouse, they’ll eventually get the idea to start looking for jurors and videoing random people that walk into the courthouse. Then, terror sets in with the jurors. I served on a jury a couple decades ago, and several of the jurors expressed concern during deliberation about the defendant exacting revenge on them.
  6. “The tension spilled into public view last week when Comer and the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, got into a sparring match over the status of the investigation at an unrelated hearing. Raskin posited, “You have not identified a single crime. What is the crime that you want to impeach Joe Biden for and keep this nonsense going?” “You’re about to find out very soon,” Comer replied.” Never fear. Mike Lindell is on the case. Two weeks.
  7. The elephant also forgot women’s genitalia That cartoon actually makes an accurate commentary on the GQP; it’s complete bullshit.
  8. This is a stupid cartoon. One dumbass religion calling another dumbass religion “far right”.
  9. You kiddin’ me? She brought her bucket o’ slop to gorge herself on while waiting for dotard. She’s prepared for the revolution.
  10. John Fullbright was a no-show at Kessler tonight. It put Bruce Robison in an awkward position making the announcement after the first opener concluded her set. Robison did a good job improvising and stretching his set.
  11. While true, I prefer Margot Robbie’s explanation.
  12. We should start calling it the magaplex
  13. I have Social Distortion tonight. They’ve been one of my favorite bands since the 90’s. I’m stoked. Hoping to get “prison bound”
  14. Liam is on the case and has a particular set of skills.
  15. It’s futile but tell him you’ll watch 2000 mules if he watches selections from the J6 hearings. This one is testimony from the known RINO, deep state democrat, and trump appointed AG Bill Barr I generally steer the discussion to questions like: Why would barr tell trump the election stolen stuff was bullshit? I try to end the debate with humor by saying how the democrats really suck at stealing elections because they let the mitch and lindsay get re-elected.
  16. The messaging to libertarians is: your vote for a republican is for government to control your reproductive healthcare. You want the government to tell you what to do with your genitals? Hell no. Vote for RFK jr. Dilute the republican vote to the 3rd party candidate.
