California's High Speed Train

Quick comment on the map I posted, "donor states"(states that send more to the Feds than they get back), CA, CO, and TX. States that get more back than they send IN and OR. 

 

Not an inclusive list, just folks who like to post and where they're from. Find your state on the map and share with the group!


That newspaper should employ an editor.  Typos that wouldn't pass muster in Eng/ Comp 101. 

 

Just sayin'.

Doesn't affect the veracity of what they and Max are saying. As I've remarked here many times, a LOT of folks' English skills...suck rocks. And that certainly includes our almost illiterate Dear Leader.

 

And re the topic at hand: let us not pretend that this latest Trump idiocy is anything but Part 112 of his "Me Hate California" crusade.

Yup, he keeps showing that Cali hate.....and not sure anyone noticed, but in one of his Truth Social Tweets he referred to Newsom, as Newscum, not once but twice.  Now we know where David got it.

 

Here's a link of it for Tom and Davey Facebook: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114865506222851432

 

By the way, Cali is now suing Trump's Admin over the pulling back of funding for the train.

The original estimate wa $33B.  It is now $135B and climbing and in almost 20 years not a single mile of track has been laid.  It is years behind schedule.  Why should the feds continue to subsidize this?

 

Brightline completed a 235 mile line in 5 years for less than $10B


     Newscum fits - there are many others who reside in California who refer to him by that name. Suing Trump's administration will result in nothing - just another waste of tax payer money.

California's surplus with the Federal Government  is 81 billion dollars annually.     

Alabama's is -40 Billion.

Donor states vs the trailer park

 

Whats a bigger waste of money?  California's high speed rail they pay with their own money?   Or propping up failed states with no economy, no leadership, and a bunch of bitter people who suck at life?    Hmmm.  I'll take "option A"

The boil guy, who tells us he isn't racist because he "has a black friend," pulls out the race card...

I have a black roommate.

 

If I point out that another person is using of the race card, I'm using the race card?  The next thing you know, Jack will tell us that Republicans wanting to prosecute those who weaponized government against political opponents are weaponizing government.  The lack of logic astonishing.
