Give ‘em Heck, Joe!
The “organizer” was on the tube last night saying they were going to have 10,000 to 20,000 there. The AP was being kind by saying that it appears they got almost 5,000. They were busing useful idiots and troublemakers in from out of state. What a flop. Losers.

Tomorrow’a papers should mak for some interesting reading,
But you have to teach your horse this stuff for emergencies:
There aren't many mobs that will hang around after 2-3 of their number get an equine uppercut in the face. That's what the Lipizzaner moves were originally intended for - warfare.

The spots fooled me. Thanks for the info. Great horse...
Maybe they were the right wing, hate monger, tea party Conservatives Nancy Pelosi was worried about becoming violent.
It is a very good rule of thumb to never, ever mess with a police animal.
Some police officers won’t even get upset if you scuffle with them a little. But if you mess with their dogs or horses, the gloves come off.
They are a heavy-ish Warmblood, traditionally bred just for the spots (like Apps) so they tended to be coarse, especially in front, but they are being refined and used as dressage and combined training horses now.
I still prefer the T'breds, no fancy colors for me . . . .
Haitians perhaps?
Usual problem with young men in a lawless environment. But if they can ever get a decent government in place that problem can be solved.
A friend eh? Sounds suspicious.
Knabstruppers are spotted horses from Europe.
