    In a world that made any sense, Diane Feinstein and her husband would be indicted for ripping off the taxpayers with this grossly unnecessary pork barrel project that will lose millions of dollars a year because no one is going to use it.

    There is no way around it, the Democrat party is the party of criminals.

    But how do you arrest the people in charge?

    Feinstein should be forced to resign from the Senate for corruption.

    Major shareholder of BNSF Berkshire Hathaway looks to me like they will make a bloody fortune as well. Berkshire Hathaway, I've heard that name before?

    I simply couldn't understand why Jerry Browndoggle kept pushing for the train to nowhere. I think I understand now!

    Our nation is turning into a prison, and the criminals are in charge.

    The only justice will be if, when 10 years from now we have empty high-speed trains racing across the high plains of California, we stake out all the stupid liberals who voted away our funds on this. One rail to the other. And let the train accomplish at least one thing.

    How about when we're out of money to run the thing, all the politicians who voted for it be put in horse collars and be made to pull it themselves. I forgot Registered Democrats who voted for them get to don the horse collars and pull the train themselves.

    They can fire all the air traffic controllers, destroy the airline industry, and FORCE people to ride the train. And maybe that's just what they plan to do.

    Reported for personal insult.

    I didn't used to complain to moderators, but then I noticed that liberals complained about me, so now I'm returning the favor.

    How can an immediate family be allowed to get any sort of govt contract? Why should anyone in govt be allowed to profit at all from govt spending? Its basically insider trading. Should be illegal. If you own or a family member owns a business that relies on govt contracts, you shouldn't be allowed to essentially work for the employer of your family member. Its like deciding what your own raise would be without anyone telling you no=) Its totally ^*&$*# up.

    My god, $35 million per mile to go from nowhere to nowhere. This boondoogle will be a money pit for California for decades if not for good. It is likely the final nail in the California coffin as well.

    But your post is what these projects are all about anyway: contracts for government cronies.

    I just really don't understand how they were able to pass it. (I know stupid question)

    I have not met a single person anywhere in CA (D) or (R) who wanted this to happen. This is literally the biggest political joke I have ever seen.

    ... and Nancy Pelosi's brother's company got a $700 MILLION Green Energy gift from Barack Obama.

    It's how the Democrats roll. They claim they are for the poor while playing the Crony Capitalist game. It's just about power and control.

    Feinstein's husbands company is a joke for this contract. It should have been: Bechtel, URS, CH2M Hill, or Lockheed's E&C division.

    She is a corrupt washed up old crook who kept a chinese spy on payroll even while the made millions trading with the Red-Chinese.

    Dianne Feinstein's disgusting, desperate attempt to derail what is sure to be the inevitable confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the SCOTUS. As is standard operating procedure for the Democrat-Left-Media complex, it's not about the truth but the seriousness of the charge. Kimberley Strassel picks apart Feinstein's phony flailing and makes the cromulent point to question the timing.

    ROFL! Here is the "letter" story.

    Kavanaugh and a friend, at a High School party.... LOCKED A GIRL IN A ROOM!!!

    THEN! THEN! THEN! YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID NEXT!???? OMFG!!!!

    THEY.... RAN AWAY!!!! HOLY ****!!!

    LINK: https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/13/brett-kavanaugh-dianne-feinstein-confidential-letter

    According to the source, Kavanaugh and a male friend had locked her in a room against her will, making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out of the room.




    They pranked a girl. I have done far worse in High School.

    The FBI looked at the letter and said... NOPE!

    Feinstein refused to release this to Democrats or Republicans in the committee. The source is... of course... anonymous. She's a scumbag and a perfect representative of the Democratic Party.
