"This boondoggle, led by the incompetent Governor of California, Gavin Newscum, has cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we have received NOTHING in return except Cost Overruns."

Long past due. CA taxpayers should stand in line to congratulate President Trump.
and the NGO money has dried up.
47 86’d that
Don’t dishonestly accuse me of that
you know damn well that’s not the case, so what’s your motivation ?
projected completion with overruns if continued
“Number of feet of rail laidâzero.”
Number of Newscum and Pelosi cronies enriched - ~50.
Illegals would ride free.
He has put the HSR through a rigorous audit to see if they have met the required terms of moneys already granted. They flunked the audit. There is some kind of clause that says if they donât meet the terms of the agreement, further funding can be cancelled.
And how much of the cost overruns have gone into Newscums pocket?

I was not aware that Willie had boarded that long, black train.
Pretty sure I heard that about a decade ago.
Howâs that whole kicking the Moors out of France going for you, anyhow?
Just got back from a 2 week bike trip in the Massif Central then down the Rhone to Avignon and Nimes. Everything was okay until Nimes, where your Jewish Correspondent found himself speedily pedaling 15 minutes through Arabia to safety.
Newscum’s presidential run donors will not be pleased ... the gravy train has been derailed.
Good.
As was always intended. Democrats are evil not stupid. The Kalifornistan politicians were just as capable of seeing that it would never be finished as anyone else. Itâs their base that is stupid, crazy, or stupid and crazy*. Iâm sure that in Sacramento there was no real desire to build the thing, but only to keep the river of taxpayer millions flowing to their donors so that the kickbacks kept flowing into their pockets.
*academics and government âworkersâ are another category. Itâs in their best economic interests to vote Democrat because the public trough that academics swill in is always overflowing with taxpayerâs hard earned pelf with Democrats in power and there are many more opportunities for raises and advancement for government apparatchiks when the party of unlimited government is in charge.
The Epstein stuff is a totally insignificant distraction that has absolutely no effect on our country orchestrated by people who want Republicans to spin their wheels and accomplish nothing of Trumpâs real agenda. And Iâm beginning to think that Pam Barbie is in over her head.
understood.
there were some folks who liked the idea of a train...
even tho there was no politically acceptable or feasible route into San Francisco (that was OK, just get the damned train into San Jose (expensive route through mountains, northern California’s largest city anyway, with cross-platform transfers to the local passenger train into San Fransicko) and the route into Los Angeles was obviously extremely expensive due to mountainous terrain
So, basically ten zillion tax payer dollars for a choo choo between Bakersfield and San Jose (not a bad thing, but priced in the stratosphere)
and it was widely known that the then-Calif senator sponsoring federal funding for this boondoggle was making $$$ off it (via husband’s business interests)...this was the big push for it
Probably a paid rent a mob financed by the contractors on the gravy train.
So did everyone else including Jerry Brown.
