      The revolving door at the White House continues. So Kelley revokes Gorka’s security clearance, but he claims he resigned?

    3. 3

      @ ER @ #1:

      Gorka is nothing if not an abject liar. He’s a psychopath, remember? He’s also a foreign national from a former Soviet Bloc nation. Raised and educated in that context. Where they actively teach the kiddies that the moon landings were a hoax and that the United States betrayed the Hungarians during the Soviet incursions and invasions of the 1960s. He should never have been allowed anywhere near a security clearance. His loyalties are undefined and undetermined, with the exception of money.

      If Putin would be paying him as much as Fat Donny apparently is, Gorka would be in Moscow right now doing the same shit he is here.

      Of course, that leaves the possibility that he is in fact, in Putin’s pocket which would be a commonality with Fat Donny himself. Thick as thieves, as they say, and Gorka is most certainly a thief.

      That is the entire theme of the Fat Donny White House. Lie, cheat, evade and obfuscate (badly) and then double down when called out on the bullshit. Their purpose is to deceive, not instruct. Their purpose is to steal anything that isn’t nailed down and as much of it as they can before somebody finally gets the balls to tell them “no”.

      Putin’s lootin’ and Fat Donny’s scootin’.

      I’m curious about the fact that the people that Hillary Clinton called “Deplorable” are in fact, open, and quite happy about themselves being just total, fucking assholes all the time.

      They LIKE being dickheads and slimy, nasty jerks. That is what they like the most about the First Amendment. It allows them to be nasty, stupid, selfish and nakedly deplorable in public. It is their god-given Constitutional RIGHT to be the kind of people that civilized people just wouldn’t want to associate with unless it was necessary for some reason.

      They’re mean-hearted, and cruel often to the point of outright sadism. They’ll spit in a starving baby’s face before they feed him. They’d rather drop bombs on piles of rubble to kill as many desperate people as they can rather than do anything to help them.

      How is it possible to describe such people as being anything other than the absolutely worst sort of scum of the Earth?

      Civilized people don’t act like that, so why should civilized people tolerate these idiots?

      The man with no political dealmaking skills whatsoever may have just handed the Democrats a colossal gift.

      “In just nine days, President Donald Trump might have badly hobbled Arizona Republicans headed into a competitive Senate race and hurt his own re-election prospects in the state. …

      “And the President’s decision to pardon controversial former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio … handed Democrats such a potent tool to turn out Latino votes that it might not matter who the GOP puts on the ballot.”

      http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/26/.....index.html

      Roger Rabbit Commentary: Turning Arizona blue in exchange for Arpaio’s pardon? Yep, that’s a deal I’ll take.

      @6 and the insane klown preznit just telegraphed what it was going to do about the indictments to come from Mueller.

      That should help stoke the impeachment fires.

      FEMA in the news again.

      Which gives me the opportunity to repost something I wrote about Goldy last year:

      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.

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

      1. The poll asked whether Trump should pardon Arpaio at the rally. That’s different from asking whether Trump should pardon Arpaio.

      2. The poll included illegal immigrant respondents, as it was a poll of the Arizona population based on census. There might be a very different sentiment on the part of likely voters.

      Maybe you could ask #CrookedHillary. She’s been to Arizona recently.

      It’s not like Steve Largent or Jim Zorn could have this type of effect.

      Five days after 12 players took a knee and five more gathered around them for the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner, all players were standing in Tampa for the playing of the song that precedes all NFL games.

      Via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Hall of Famer Jim Brown recently addressed the team and said, “Do not disrespect your country, do not disrespect the flag.”

      Jerramy Stevens, maybe.

      @15 “1. The poll asked whether Trump should pardon Arpaio at the rally. That’s different from asking whether Trump should pardon Arpaio.”

      It sure is. Even fewer people would support this after they’ve had time to think about it.

      “2. The poll included illegal immigrant respondents, as it was a poll of the Arizona population based on census. There might be a very different sentiment on the part of likely voters.”

      To get to 50%, nearly three-fourths of the other 79% would have to be “illegal immigrant respondents.” Really?

      We now know one of those Nazi fucks at Charleston pointed a gun at the crowd and then fired at a black person. The police did nothing at the time, but he was arrested after the video went public. Not for assault with a deadly weapon, but for “discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school building.” They have strange cops down south, which is a good reason to never visit there.

      @16 “Do not disrespect your country, do not disrespect the flag.”

      That’s asking a lot considering how much their country disrespects them (and all others of their race), but you’re right, as public figures they should be bigger than the white trash out in the parking lot beating up people for wearing the wrong team jersey.

    22. 22

      @18 “I expected better of you.”

      Once again, I agree with you. We have higher standards than your ilk, so we expect more of our own than we do of you and yours.

    23. 23

      “I expected better of you.”

      Not terribly damning coming as it does from guy with 4,000 pro-Putin hashtags to his credit.

      Leave it to Врач немой ебать and the rest of his “family values” pals to stick up for a 6’2″, 230 lb professional athlete whose hobbies include tossing 112 lb swimsuit models off balconies and down flights of stairs.
      And to stick up for Nazis and Klansmen and the occasional Senate Hillbilly with a “wide stance”.

      ‘The leading edge of a much larger iceberg’: New Jersey high school disbands football team

      But the whole saga has left families wondering what West Windsor will look like without football, and what it means that their elite school district might drop a sport long viewed as central to the high school experience.

      http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/.....spartanntp

      This is a devastating trend. Without football, how does the next generation of YLBs learn to cheerlead?

      A: Because its mayor @ 25 is a Democrat.

      Q: Houston knew it was at risk of flooding. Why didn’t the city evacuate?

      The volume of this weekend’s Harvey rainfall was largely predicted. CNN meteorologists on Friday forecast more than 20 inches of rain, and the National Weather Service first put Houston under a Flash Flood Watch — meaning flooding was a possibility and residents should be prepared — on Thursday afternoon at 4:38 p.m.
      But instead of issuing widespread evacuation orders, local officials asked people to stay put.

      “At this time I can reemphasize there will be no mass evacuations called,” said Harris County Judge Edward Emmett, who is responsible for overseeing emergency operations, at a joint press conference with Turner on Friday.

      @28 Yeah, the cause-and-effect is real obvious. Or maybe their highways couldn’t handle 2 million cars at once.

      Finally operational, the Sonoma-Marin Area Rapid Transit line in the North Bay. The last hurdle was FRA approval of the Positive Train Control system, and that was granted last week. I wished that they had not purchased the Diesel Multiple units before the FRA came out with their newer regulations for the lightweight DMU types to share track with freight trains.

      http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news.....87593.html

      The first extension will be finishing the line to Larkspur ferry terminal . Marin was originally part of BART, but opted out. Probably a good idea, at the time, as the plan was to add a rail deck to the Golden Gate Bridge.

    32. 32

      @ 31

      Meanwhile, the Lynnwood extension in our own area if $500M over-budget and roughly six months behind schedule.

      Fortunately for those between Northgate and Lynnwood, they will rob PeterST3 to pay PaulST2.

      Not so fortunate for those who will be taxed for ST3 and will find out soon enough that there won’t be enough money to build it.

      This is a devastating trend. Without football, how does the next generation of Bushs learn to cheerlead?

      Heck, they can always come to HA and learn from a true master by watching you and the rest of the GOP cheerlead Nazis and Klansmen.

      32, Could have done it cheaper, by building it 50 years ago, but they thought it was too expensive then. Also, Link is not Light Rail, but Light Rapid Transit, one of the differences, more grade separations.

    36. 36

      Preliminary details of the new Amtrak Cascades schedule for when the trains are re-routed between Reservation Junction and Nisqually Junction, eliminating the choke points of Nelson Bennett and Bridge 14 (where the derailment occurred). Two new trips added, pushing departure of the first southbound run from King Street Station, 501, to 6:00AM, and the last from Portland Union Station, 508, to 7:25Pm, assuming Union Pacific does not delay it too much.

      @35

      Please elaborate on the difference between Link and Light Rail heading northward.

      It won’t be the same cars heading to Lynnwood and, eventually, to Everett?

    39. 39

      37, same type of vehicles, although for the next batch, they are ordering from Siemens, whose S70 model is fast becoming North America standard. The main modifications for Sound Transit, is traction motors that draw a higher voltage. Most Light Rail vehicles run between 600-750 volts DC, LINK uses 1500 volts DC.

      Light Rapid Transit is the higher end of the term light rail, with more grade separations, and once you get out of Seattle, the stations are space further apart, allowing for faster operations, and carrying more people. The term light rail has become an umbrella term for anything not Heavy Rail (NY Subway, MARTA ), with the terms being blurred. Almost like how Bus Rapid Transit has become an umbrella term for anything between an enhanced limited stop express bus in mixed traffic , to grade separated bus ways mimicking rail based rapid transit. A good example of this is LA’s Metro Rapid and Orange Line.
