Lewis A Kaplan, a federal judge in Manhattan, said the civil trial on claims against Trump by the columnist E Jean Carroll will begin as scheduled April 25th.
Kaplan rejected arguments by Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina that the former president’s recent indictment in New York state court on criminal falsification of business records charges created such negative publicity that a one-month cooling-off period was needed before the rape trial could begin. Kaplan said: “There was, of course, a great deal of media coverage – some of it invited and, indeed, provoked by Mr Trump. Kaplan also said: "It does not sit well for Mr Trump to promote pretrial publicity and then to claim that coverage that he promoted was prejudicial to him and should be taken into account as supporting a further delay,” the judge added t - he was also concerned that the request was a “delay ta... less

I like a bath because I find them relaxing and I can play with my toy battleship. I like to pretend my battleship is the Bismarck and I am a Canadian submarine captain that sinks it. I lurk under the bubbles then I sink the Bismarck with my torpedo. But I won't be able to do that in a shower. Cheers!

It means you were thinking about something (maybe a difficult situation) too much and too often!You feel like you’re thinking about so many different things that it’s hard to slow down your thoughts (like a car in overdrive going faster than engine speed)

They follow news and current events, have opinions, various fields of interest, etc. I'm curious about what others do or try to do with the things they choose to learn at this point in their lives. Divulge as much or as little as you'd like about the subject matter of your current endeavors to acquire knowledge and skills. If learning anything just isn't your thing at this point, this probably is not applicable. Happy Saturday!

He said "tears were pouring down their eyes. They were incredible, he said of the staff. When I went to the courthouse, which is also a prison in a sense, they signed me in and I'll tell you people were crying. People that work there. Professionally work there that have no problems putting in murderers and they see everybody. It's a tough, tough place and they were crying. They were actually crying. They said, I'm sorry.'" I don't believe it. In the past Trump has said a lot of people cry to him - generals and politicians. Cheers! less

Bragg's suit asked the court to block Jordan's subpoena of Pomerantz. Jordan wants Pomerantz to sit for a deposition as part of the Judiciary panel's investigation into the indictment of Trump. Bragg's said "Chairman Jordan’s subpoena is an unconstitutional attempt to undermine an ongoing New York felony criminal prosecution and investigation. As our complaint details, this is an unprecedented, illegitimate interference by Congress that lacks any legal merit and defies basic principles of federalism." I think the Republican party needs to be shown that they can't do and say what ever they want because of Trump. And I think Alvin Bragg's is the man that will show them that. Cheers! less

The federal appeals court last week denied Trump's motion to block the testimony of several of his senior aides so I don't Trump will be successful in this appeal either. I think the reason Trump tries to block the testimony of the people that were around him is because he is afraid that the truth will come out. Cheers!

After liking "London Bridge" for "forever," I did not even realize it was her singing on the song (and she even announces her name at beginning of song, ha!) and "I Gotta Feeling."She doesn't even sound like the same singer to me in these three songs.

Hannity asked Trump about the new mar - a - logo security video the FBI claims they have of Trump looking through a box of classified documents after they were subpoenaed and Trump said - well I could do that. Hannity said - well you could but I know you wouldn't do that and Trump said - I could do that and I did do that. I figure by Trump saying that he went from the frying pan to the fire. Cheers and happy weekend!

The woman was found dead Wednesday night at the scene of the crash in Sheffield, South Yorkshire police said. Relatives identified her as 60-year-old Marcia Grant and said she was “a warm, loving and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend and a pillar of her community.”
The boy was found shortly afterward and arrested, police said.
The suspect can’t be named for legal reasons because of his age. He is due to appear at Sheffield Youth Court on Saturday to face a charge of murder.
In England, children 10 and over can be charged and convicted of crimes. Any sentences are served in secure youth centers rather than adult prisons. less
