    So we got a special prosecutor? I did not expect it, because of the people who would appoint.

    Valley Metro in Phoenix ordered more light rail vehicles and several streetcars, from two builders, one American, one the US subsidiary of a German company. 11 Siemens S70 LRV’S with an option for 67 more. Although Siemens is a German company, production will be in Sacramento.

    Also, Pennsylvania based Brookville received an order from Valley Metro for six Liberty streetcars for the Tempe Streetcar project.

    I recently finished the book “Shattered.” I thought it was going to be a snarky hit piece on Hillary Clinton, but it was actually a pretty good summary of the 2016 Clinton campaign and what went wrong.

    For those with a liking of such things, I recommend it for a fairly even-handed account of what happened.

    Sweet so we’re going to stabilize the region by selling more arms to the oppressive regime who’s radical Islamists actually attacked America on 9/11.

    It’ll work THIS time.

    Didn’t DerTrumper see the thousands of Saudis celebrating on that day. Allahu Akbar

    It’ll work THIS time.

    Brits and Yanks have been persuing that policy with the House of Saud for almost 100 years now– ever since the Brits helped the House of Saud shoot their way into power, in fact.

    All we care about is oil. Everybody knows this, and nobody has the integrity to do anything about it.

    “@4 480 pages later, you realize Hillary is a less astute politician than Bill?”

    484 pages, if you include the notes and index. The basic text is 402 pages.

    Yes, based on the outcome, Bill Clinton was better politician than Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump was a better politician than Hillary, too, in the 2016 election. (Full disclosure: Politically Incorrect did not vote for Clinton or Trump.)

    Robby Mook was too focused on data and analytics and watching how the money was spent, and Bill Clinton and John Podesta were more interested in the “grip and grin” campaigning than number crunching. There was a lot of infighting in Hillary’s campaign. Black voters voted for Hillary, but they were not nearly as excited about her candidacy as they were for Obama and getting him elected. Some didn’t even bother to vote at all. There was a sense of entitlement and inevitability in the Hillary campaign, and that turned off a lot of voters. It came across as elitist. The nail in the coffin was forgetting about non-college educated whites in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania and how the Electoral College works.

    7 – No kidding. It’s time for us to withdraw from the area. Muslims don’t like a bunch of mostly white, mostly Christian faces running around their “holy” lands.

    Islam is not going to change until Muslims decide to change it. The more “infidels” they see in the Middle East, the less likely they’re going to change at all.

    @8 “Yes, based on the outcome, Bill Clinton was better politician than Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump was a better politician than Hillary, too, in the 2016 election.”

    If election outcomes are your only yardstick of political skill — and I won’t go into the deficiencies with that line of reasoning here — then Trump was a better politician than Hillary by minus 2.9 million votes.

  13. 13

    @9 You’re right, we don’t need to run around in the Middle East. If we’re patient, the Middle East will come to us. See, e.g. 9/11/01. Are you really so dense that you actually believe if we adopt an isolationist foreign policy the rest of the world will leave us alone? Even Trump isn’t that stupid.

  14. 14

    11 – “…then Trump was a better politician than Hillary by minus 2.9 million votes.”

    It’s the electoral votes that mater.

    13 – ” …adopt an isolationist foreign policy the rest of the world will leave us alone?”

    I’m all in favor of trade and travel between us and the rest of the world. What I’m against is the dissipation of our treasury and our young persons’ lives and limbs that continues forever. Islam is not going to change until the West gets out of the way. As far as leaving us alone, Muslims know that we have some really, really big firecrackers in the missile silos of Kansas and in the weapons bays of nuclear submarines. If they attack us or attempt to attack us, the pay-back will be terrible.

  15. 15

    Why did Bin Laden develop his craziness? Well, he objected to the infidel westerners coming into the holy land of Saudi Arabia back in August of 1990 to kick Saddam out of Kuwait. It’s just plain insanity, but Muslims won’t change until they’re left alone and get to experience what Sharia Law truly means. Right now, the only thing Muslims are united about is their hatred of the West.

    Twitter co-founder: ‘Very bad’ if Twitter helped make Trump president

    http://thehill.com/homenews/ne.....-president

    Well, it’s certainly possible Twitter shares some blame, but it’s people like Goldy

    Goldy @GoldyHA
    I’m a big lefty too, but Jesus Christ, Twitter friends, Hillary is the nominee! Push her on policy, but stop attacking her credibility.
    27 May

    who really made it happen.

    From sniffing out FEMA director padded resumes to sniffing padded thrones. In little more than a decade. Well done, Goldy.

    @14 “It’s the electoral votes that mater.”

    Electoral votes count for purposes of getting elected. Popular votes matter for purposes of governing, unless you’re content to be a weak, toothless, chair warmer. Losing the popular vote by 2.9 million is indicative of an inferior candidate with an inferior message, and that certainly affects his ability to enact his agenda. It may also affect his ability to stay in office.

  18. 18

    @16 “sniffing out FEMA director padded resumes”

    That, by itself, is a greater accomplishment than anything you’ve ever done.*

    * Have you ever done ANYTHING besides whine about the minimum wage?

  19. 19

    So here’s a doctor with money to burn on big pickup trucks and horse trailers and such, who brags about sitting down to a $386 restaurant dinner, but can’t stop whining about paying restaurant labor $15/hr. Why don’t you divide $15 into $386 and see how many hours of kitchen labor it would take to sit down to that meal, and then insist the help behind the double doors is overpaid? If you’re interested, I’ll tell you who’s overpaid …

    @ 17

    Losing the popular vote by 2.9 million is indicative of an inferior candidate with an inferior message…

    Well, perhaps, although it’s also indicative of being outspent 2:1 by the party which was so upset with the Citizens United decision.

    If Trump’s tally is viewed in terms of campaign dollars spent per vote, he actually did quite well.

    However one chooses to view it,

    All together now,

    #CrookedHillary will never, ever become president.

    Oh Jeb STFU. That wasn’t some great prediction – it was the obvious.

    You should have spoke up during the election and told Texans and Foridians to vote for Hillary. Right now you’re just as much of a bigger loser than Hillary and Drumpf. Go fuck yourself. Serves you and
    Your stupid Ilk that Drumpf is a disaster.

    I wonder how Saudia Arabia “investing in America”, as Drumpf puts it, keeps America from staying out of the Middle East like PI would like. Seems like you have to come to their aid now when they need the help.

  23. 23

    @20 Glad to see that you’re back on track to having posted 4,000 pro-Putin hashtags, Doctor Dumbfuck, you fucking traitor.

  28. 28

    Seems to me that the loon might be getting lynched soon by his wingnut friends. SAD!

    “We’ll hang all you niggers!”

    “You’ll be hanging from a tree!”

    Us liberals are better than that. We’ll give you a trial first, then hang you proper, as in, from the gallows. For treason.

    20,
    I got a better one for all you doomed hillbilly traitors:

    #PutinPuppet DID become President. Oops.

    Na, na, na, na, etc.

  30. 30

    shitstain,

    It’s only for liberal ni@@ers calling for impeachment you moron! You always get FACTS mixed up with facts!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    KAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Wait for the silly comment…

    30,
    Musn’t leave out all the Derp State “establishment conservative” counterrevolutionaries scheming away in beltway luxury hospitality suites to betray trailer ‘Murika.

    Submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

    And those who would trade your blind loyalty for a SuperPAC money dump or an oil lease.

    If no one minds, I’m taking credit for the loon head explosion @30. And it was a very nice one, too.

    Swiss voters can get a referendum on the ballot for anything. This time, the Government ‘s phase out of Nuclear Power. Looks like the voters endorsed it. Although to make up what domestic wind and solar may not have, they would have to import. From France it would be Nuclear, although renewable sources in Germany are making great strides, especially in the Chancellor’s home state.

    In British Columbia, control of the BC Government could come down to recount in the district of Courtney-Comox in Central Vancouver Island. Right now, the NDP leader is ahead by 9 votes. If the recount and absentee votes reverse it, the BC Liberals have the 44 seats needed for a majority government. If the results stand, the BC Liberals will be one seat short, and the BC Greens come into play.
