In that case Newsom and his buddies should love it...

California has run out of it’s own tax money flushing it down the virtue signaling toilet. We certainly do not need their help spending federal taxes on worthless social boondoggles.

Actually California has already spent what it was estimated to complete the project many times over... Well the politicians actually stole a few bullet trains by now, they just want the gravy to keep flowing.

Want to go to court Demoncraps? Can you spell AUDIT? How about Felony?

BRING IT SCUMBAGS, I got lots of popcorn.

... when he said he has booked a first class seat on a high speed train to Hawaii.

I heard that! I had thought the same thing, that Ocasio-Cortes gal is dumb, dumb, dumb. Get rid of planes, and take a train everywhere... including to Hawaii and Europe. Maybe Newsom will repurpose the high-speed rail to go from Bakersfield to Hawaii. Of course he'll ask President Trump for federal dollars to start that project. Probably would be cheaper to use solar rockets to fly to Hawaii using sun power.

Good.

Now Team Trump needs to start prosecuting our seditious California Sanctuary State politicians.

Send a dozen of those traitors to prison and the whole sanctuary city/sanctuary state garbage will collapse overnight.

Justice would be to use that California money for the wall.

[Guessing that money is long since spent.....]

EXCERPT...
The Los Angeles Times reported additionally that the Department of Transportation said it was “actively exploring every legal option” to recover the other $2.5 billion granted by the federal government to California for the project.

If Republican John Cox had been Elected instead of Newsome and he cancelled the Bullet Train to Nowhere, the Liberals would have set Sacramento on fire.

Newsome does it and barely a whimper, until POTUS Trump took back the money that is. LOL
