    Top California high-speed rail executive under investigation in ethics probe

    A top consultant for California’s controversial high-speed rail project is under investigation after he modified a multi-million dollar contract that involved a company in which he may have held more than $100,000 in stock.
    …
    Hill, who is also a senior executive at the lead consulting firm WSP, signed a $51-million change order for the construction team led by the Spanish firm Dragados. Hill, however, may have also owned more than $100,000 stock in Jacobs Engineering, which is part of the Dragados team, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    WSP suspended Hill on Monday at the direction of the rail authority. Hill will remain suspended until the investigation is resolved.

    I did not serve. I know not to compare myself to those who did as if equal.

    Comparing yourself to those that landed at Utah Beach when you did not serve is pretty….well…GOP?*

    AG Barr: “As we’ve been watching the coverage of June 6, 1944 D-Day, I had the thought that my arrival this time felt a little bit, I think, like jumping into Sainte-Mère-Église on the morning of June 5, trying to figure out where you could land without getting shot.”

    * Sainte-Mère-Église is the closest community to Utah Beach. For those who’s war knowledge comes from popular entertainment it is where the “Band of Brothers” dropped. The scene of a paratrooper getting stuck on the cathedral spire and shot by a German in “The Longest Day” is a real event that happened at Sainte-Mère-Église. The town erected a sculpture depicting it in gratitude that still hangs from the Cathedral. The town by law requires the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys hold a ceremony honoring American Soldiers and British soldiers every anniversary of D-Day.

    @2 “Always follow the money.”

    In Trump’s case, it leads to Russia, but your tribe doesn’t want to hear about it.

    In your case, the trail leads to the barn, because you don’t get any in the house.

    This is how you win the YLB vote.

    Alyssa Milano, the actor who’s become a major online presence on issues of women’s rights as well as a friend of the Biden team, spoke by phone Wednesday with Biden’s campaign manager, Greg Schultz, telling him that the candidate needed to change.

    Dumb twats think alike, after all.

    It’s a twofer when you attract the gman vote as a result of your “flip-flop”.

    Who needs a spine, when you can win the votes of YLB and gman?

    @4 “When you’re so far to the left you can’t tell the difference between Darcy Burner and Genghis Khan.”

    I doubt Genghis Khan was a Democrat. He bears far more resemblance to Trump than Darcy does. Darcy is sweet. She hugs rabbits!

    I’ll bet you never got a hug from Darcy.

  15. 15

    @7 You might think Boob’s obsession with Darcy is kinda weird, until you put it in the context of his obsession with Hillary.

    When you consider this guy spends his life in a barn fucking horses, his obsessing over Democratic women doesn’t seem so weird after all.

    Next to a horse’s ass, even a Democrat must look good to him.

    @ 14

    I’ll bet you never got a hug from Darcy.

    No, but I got a GOP congressional representative because of her.

    We all did. Twice.

    @9 Pvt. Steele wasn’t shot by the Germans; he was injured in the jump and taken prisoner, but escaped a few days later. He survived the war, dying in 1969.

  18. 18

    @9 Barr is old enough to have faced the Vietnam draft — he turned 18 in the spring of 1968 — but instead attended college, graduate school, and law school, and never served in the military.

    Yeah, his comment is a bit pretentious. It’s one thing to be a fancy-pants lawyer, another to have been a D-Day paratrooper.

    From my perspective as a Vietnam veteran, law school graduate, and lawyer, I have no doubts about which was harder to do.

  20. 20

    @10 I’d guess your computer is in the barn, where you spend your time, and it’s not secure, either.

    @16 I had no idea Reichert represented the San Juan Islands. Unless you’ve been lying about where your practice and residence were until you retired to a rural Oregon shithole, you were represented in Congress by a Democrat. Who, by the way, did a good job for you, whether you knew it or not, your personal views notwithstanding.

  22. 22

    This caused me to wonder how many people Goldy has libeled to date, and whether his behavior makes him ineligible to have his views aired on public radio.

    Just reposting this thread so folks who might have missed it will see it. @KUOW’s #WiR, a show on which I sometimes appear, had as a guest the man whose libelous story about me continues to expose me to violent threats to this day. To call this disappointing is an understatement.

    10,

    22 million official government emails from the highest ranking administration employees hosted and passed through RNC “servers” during the Bush admin, with no security whatsoever. And most of them contained “classified” or “restricted” information of one kind or another.

    22 million. In the open. OMG!!
    DERPSTATE!!!!! PIZZAAA!!!!!!

    @2 not sure if anyone else already mentioned this story.

    But how many times do you think kiddie porn shows up on a Repukes or Farm Owner’s mobile devices?

    https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142326296

    Or just curious – how often do you talk to the Crown Prince? Or is it your equine doc that you converse with and share photos with?

  27. 27

    That IG report is gonna leave a mark.

    One way, or another. I guess at this point it has to.

    Prolly have AG Barr do another “carefully prepared summary” of the report a few days before it’s released (if it ever is). Then he can hold it back and provide another “selected reading” in the briefing room? Then wait a few more days and do a “redacted release”. Then wait for the subpoenas and ignore them too?

  28. 28

    @10 don’t you follow the GOP conservative principal of innocent until proven guilty? It would be unlike a Repuke to follow his own standards and principals – that’s what is not shocking.

  29. 29

    @9 “Comparing yourself to those that landed at Utah Beach when you did not serve is pretty….well…GOP?”

    Kinda like Trump wanting a military parade.

    You gotta understand this isn’t to call public attention to our military folks, but to himself, like a South American tinpot reviewing the troops.

    The same troops who will escort him from the White House if he declines to leave voluntarily when his time in office has expired.

    @17

    I’m pretty sure he gets shot in the movie but it’s been a while. It’s also like 3 hours long and short on great acting so I doubt I’ll watch it again at this point.

    I knew he survived. Didn’t know about the escape.

    “Based on true events…”

  31. 31

    So it’s not even noon and Dumbfuck is calling women Twats.

    Go On, do tell…

    In a June 1-2 Hill-HarrisX survey, 62 percent of female registered voters said they were unlikely to support Trump’s bid to obtain a second term.

    Side note….

    Is Hillary on the ballot?

    (Full Disclosure, I have worked with Ms. Milano on three occasions and she is a lovely person and professional in every respect. The same cannot be said for certain outspoken GOP Hollywooders I’ve dealt with about as often, cough, cough, Kelsey Grammer, Cough Cough, Ron Silver (RIP), I see you over there Tim Allen.

    Arnold is a peach. Too bad about the adultery)

  32. 32

    22,
    probably just as important for “journalists” to understand the legal threshold for libel as it is for “radiologists” to understand the legal threshold for malpractice.

    And yet…

  33. 33

    @ 31

    62% of REGISTERED female voters say they won’t vote for Trump. I guess he’ll have to concentrate on the 38% who might.

    Overall, the center found, 39% of all women voted for Trump, while 54% supported Clinton.

    http://time.com/5422644/trump-white-women-2016/

    Seems that was enough last time around, too.

    Hey, Cz-252, would you be inclined to pronounce Trump’s 2020 opponent has having an “absolute lock” on those 62%?

    ’cause that would make for a fun 17 months coming up.

  34. 34

    @33

    So all he has to do is get 100% of women who don’t flat out refuse to vote for him to turn out and vote for him AND convince 1% of ‘never Trump’ women to vote for him and PRESTO, it’s just like 2016.

    Dumbfucks be Dumbfucking all over this thread.

    Just thinking out loud, I wonder if there’s any other issues coming up that might cost Donald support among women….

    Are you, pro life, pro choice, unsure

    Feb. 2019
    47%, 47%, 6%

    June,2019
    35%, 57%, 8%

    What could have happened in such a short time?

  35. 35

    @ 34

    So all he has to do is get 100% of women who don’t flat out refuse to vote for him to turn out and vote for him AND convince 1% of ‘never Trump’ women to vote for him and PRESTO, it’s just like 2016.

    And you’ll have to get REGISTERED female voters to behave like LIKELY female voters.

    You should read Delaney’s comments on what the Democrat party is doing to itself over the abortion issue. This should not be a surprise to you on Election Night.

  36. 36

    REGISTERED female voters who have ever heard of John Delaney:
    0%

    I did not think that was possible.
    Then again, I did not think Trump would win.

    I am constantly surprised by the antics of wealthy and quasi-wealthy bald white male plutocrats.

  37. 37

    @35

    Yes of course a fifth tier Preidential hopeful has his finger on the pulse of Democratic Party soul.

    Might as well pay close attention to what David Duke thinks the GOP gets right on MLK.

    Because the polling really suggests the Democrats are on the wrong side of the current abortion debate. (See 34)

    Wonder if any of the fetal heartbeat cases will get a conservative judicial ruling between now and November 2020? That would go Grrrrrrrreat! For Donald.

  38. 38

    @ 37

    Yes of course a fifth tier Preidential hopeful has his finger on the pulse of Democratic Party soul.

    Look where Bill Clinton was before Mario Cuomo bowed out. He was higher than 0%, but not much higher.

    Now go watch the video of all of those people on camera saying that Trump won’t become president. Including Obama, with a mic drop.

    You don’t know what you don’t know.

    What you do know, now, is that there are no “absolute locks”. Don’t you.

  39. 39

    37,
    If a candidate declared that he supported the decis. in Loving v. Virginia, but that he was personally opposed to “the mixin’ of the races” how would you rate his chances in the primary?

    Oh my.
    And smack in the middle of PRIDE Month.

    Distinguished scholars at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland released a new 143-page report on Monday that argues that there is not enough definitive scientific evidence available to suggest that gay, lesbian and transgender individuals are born with a certain sexual orientation or gender identity.

    Questions related to sexuality and gender bear on some of the most intimate and personal aspects of human life. In recent years they have also vexed American politics. We offer this report — written by Dr. Lawrence S. Mayer, an epidemiologist trained in psychiatry, and Dr. Paul R. McHugh, arguably the most important American psychiatrist of the last half-century — in the hope of improving public understanding of these questions. Examining research from the biological, psychological, and social sciences, this report shows that some of the most frequently heard claims about sexuality and gender are not supported by scientific evidence. The report has a special focus on the higher rates of mental health problems among LGBT populations, and it questions the scientific basis of trends in the treatment of children who do not identify with their biological sex. More effort is called for to provide these people with the understanding, care, and support they need to lead healthy, flourishing lives.

    “The White House blocked a State Department intelligence staffer this week from issuing testimony to the House warning that human-caused climate change could be ‘possibly catastrophic,’ according to The Washington Post.”

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/08/politics/state-department-climate-change-house/index.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: The stuff I’m reading indicates it will be catastrophic, and it’s too late now to stop it.

    Y’know, I was thinking the last few days, maybe Trump accepts this, and the real reason he wants to build a wall on our border with Mexico is because he foresees millions of climate refugees trying to storm that border in the not-distant future.

    Trump may be fatalistic about climate change; he’s known to be fatalistic about nuclear war. He probably realizes Mar-o-Lago will be underwater someday. He probably figures he’ll be gone by then, and meanwhile, he and his billionaire buddies want to keep making as much money as they can from the fossil-fuel status quo while they’re still here.

    This implies he also thinks to hell with his children and their children, but we already know he doesn’t like his kids.

    @43 Oh my, an advocacy piece by a couple of anti-gay bigots in the psychiatric community published by a non-peer-reviewed rightwing journal devoted to political commentary.

    @43 I guess that proves that heterosexuals aren’t born that way either – your heterosexuality is a choice. Try not to get the urge to stick that dick in your mouth.

    And that’s great! That’s what America is all about Freedom! Right PROUD American?

    You don’t sound too proud to be a true American that values all freedoms.

    @51 Yup. Follow the money. Wherever the money is, even if it’s only a steady paycheck, you’ll find the likes of Kudlow.

  55. 55

    @33, 34 The best thing Trump will have going for him in 2020 is his administration’s refusal to protect our elections from Russian interference.

  56. 56

    43,
    Admit it. You do think about it sometimes. Don’t you?

    Sure you do. It’s a “choice” you make. Right?
    And any “choice” involves some cognitive and emotional process of considering your options. What’s that like for you?
    What “options” do you weigh? Are they all entirely imaginary? Or are some of them just a wee bit more concrete?

    It’s the UPS dude. He’s the one. You’ve worn out that poor Legally Blonde DVD haven’t you.

    “Bend and SNAP girlfriend!

    As per RCW 9.41.094, effective July 1st, 2019, “A signed application to purchase a pistol or semiautomatic assault rifle shall constitute a waiver of confidentiality and written request that the health care authority, mental health institutions, and other health care facilities release, to an inquiring court or law enforcement agency, information relevant to the applicant’s eligibility to purchase a pistol or semiautomatic assault rifle to an inquiring court or law enforcement agency.”

    Relying on Seattle Police Department data, Patch.com reported that the Jet City “tallied more homicides (last) year than any year in more than a decade,” an interesting revelation considering that passage of an anti-gun-rights initiative, largely supported by Seattle voters, was supposed to reduce murder and mayhem.

    There were, according to the article, 31 homicides in Seattle last year. However, preliminary data from the Brennan Center says 33 people died last year in the city in homicides. In 2017, Seattle saw 26 murders (while KOMO News reported 27), which was also a jump from the 18 slayings in 2016, according to Seattle Police data.

    ‘Murders and bums, needles and sh*t, OH My!’ to paraphrase Dorothy.

    @57 Not sure what your point is. The law you cited hasn’t taken effect yet. But it sounds like it’s needed around here.

  61. 61

    @58 Don’t know what your point here is, either, but the internet hasn’t produced the productivity gains or increases in living standards that the industrial revolution did, and it’s arguably a negative influence on productivity because now you have people spending work time on social media, texting, gaming, online shopping, and other distractions instead of performing productive work.

    Interesting information NOT mentioned by the HA headline paste-er in charge:

    1. CNN anchor Victor Blackwell admitted Saturday morning on “New Day” that the United States got “almost everything it wanted” in the U.S.-Mexico trade deal that was announced Friday.

    2. Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave credit to her fellow Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh on Friday, touting the court’s newest member for boosting the number of female law clerks serving the court.

    “Justice Kavanaugh made history by bringing on board an all-female law clerk crew. Thanks to his selections, the Court has this Term, for the first time ever, more women than men serving as law clerks,” she said, according to remarks released by the court.

    3. 60% Of Voters Find Democratic Field Of Presidential Candidates ‘Underwhelming’

    The Monthly Harvard-Harris Poll, May 2019 conducted online within the United States from May 29-30, 2019 among 1,295 registered voters, found that just 40% of American voters find the Democratic options so far to be “impressive” when asked, “Do you find the current field of Democratic party candidates for president to be impressive or underwhelming?” 60% of participants answered “underwhelming” during this survey.

    On the other hand:
    4. A new CNN poll acknowledges something that must terribly bother the network: 54% of respondents in the poll believe that President Trump will win reelection, a huge eleven-point hike from last December, when that number was 43%.

    Speaking on CNN on Wednesday, host John Berman said disbelievingly, “They believe the president, despite everything, will win reelection next year.” He added, shocked, “What’s more, that number is up double digits since December.”

    5. The Chicago Tribune reports that at least 22 individuals were shot in under 11 hours last night in Chicago as an already violent summer for the Windy City continues.

    And finally.
    6. Glacier National Park Starts Removing Its ‘Gone by 2020’ Signs
    The brochures, dioramas, and signage in the parks showcased the dire predictions of glacial extinction by 2020. Now, ten years after the doom-and-gloom prediction came out to the public, the change order appears to have been given.

    Officials at Glacier National Park (GNP) have begun quietly removing and altering signs and government literature which told visitors that the Park’s glaciers were all expected to disappear by either 2020 or 2030.

    In recent years the National Park Service prominently featured brochures, signs and films which boldly proclaimed that all glaciers at GNP were melting away rapidly. But now officials at GNP seem to be scrambling to hide or replace their previous hysterical claims while avoiding any notice to the public that the claims were inaccurate. Teams from Lysander Spooner University visiting the Park each September have noted that GNP’s most famous glaciers such as the Grinnell Glacier and the Jackson Glacier appear to have been growing—not shrinking—since about 2010. (The Jackson Glacier—easily seen from the Going-To-The-Sun Highway—may have grown as much as 25% or more over the past decade.)

    @62(4) The only poll that matters is the one on Nov. 3, 2020. However, if you wish to handicap it, according to an ABC/Washington Post poll conducted about 6 weeks ago, 55% of Americans say they “definitely would not” vote for Trump in 2020 as opposed to 28% who said they “definitely would” vote for him.

    That doesn’t mean he can’t win. Russian hacking of our election results is a possibility, especially given that the Trump administration is refusing to do anything to protect our elections from foreign interference.

    @62(6) So it snowed a lot the last few winters. Weather is not climate, a distinction your ilk seems unable to make. GNP’s glaciers are shrinking. You don’t have to take my word for it; just believe your own eyes:

    https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/nature/melting-glaciers.htm

    Here’s what I have to say about climate change deniers: You have a constitutional right to believe anything you want to, but that doesn’t make it true. What’s happening is going to happen whether you believe it or not. Nature doesn’t care what you think. It doesn’t care what I think, either. It just is. Denying it isn’t dealing with it, but it’s probably too late to deal with it anyway.

  69. 69

    Huh, new troll mentions that murders in Seattle have grown over the last three years consecutively.

    So logically the law that as has been pointed out hasn’t taken effect yet is stupid because murders rose in the two years before it was even on the ballot.

    New troll is really bad at this. Dress up, did you pull that from Discovery Institute without thinking?

    It’s ok to admit you’re out of you league and go slinking back to Breitbart.

    66,
    The GOP stripped 400 points of growth out of the markets in exchange for a “statement”. That’s not figurative or metaphorical. That is literally what these shitheads did. People lose jobs and life savings over political stunts like these.

    That’s the power of the office in the hands of idiots. Behind the scenes are teams of sweaty propeller heads like Stephen Miller, cluelessly scrambling for some way, any way, to move the dial ahead of the election. Not only are they clueless, they don’t care. These are groveling careerists focusing exclusively on pacifying the rage-Tweet diaper president.

    And perhaps the saddest part of all is that in late-stage capitalism we don’t care. We’re so focused on the fucking scoreboard ourselves that we really don’t give a shit about all the injured players being plattered off the field. president stupid throws a tantrum followed by disaster followed by collective shrug. Because “this must be what everyone wanted”.

    With each month that the election draws nearer we will see lots more of this.

  75. 75

    @74 Well, if they trash the market enough, at least I’ll get to buy cheap stocks with my surplus income. Every share raises my dividend income some more, although I quit working for an honest living years ago.

    I doubt that Doctor Dumbfuck ever did work for an honest living. He seamlessly segued from sucking his mother’s teat to sucking the Medicare teat. In between, somebody gave him a ticket to med school, where he was sidetracked into radiology, as he’s obviously someone that no rational person would allow near a scalpel or anesthetic.

    So many to thank.

    Harry Reid, certainly. And Hillary, we couldn’t have done it without you. Barack also played an important role, elevating Hillary from the junior senator role she held to SoS, because he needed to keep his enemy closer.

    I’m indebted to many for this conservative judicial gift that keeps on giving, but most especially to Steve, who willingly suspended disbelief between May and November of 2016, and gamely continues to ignore reality today.

    I don’t even need to click through to know that’s Bullshit.

    There’s

    “WOW what are these price scanner thingy bobs, those are cool.”

    “Fool me once,won’t get fooled again.”

    “what a waste it is to lose one’s mind, or not to have a mind is being very wasteful, how true that is. ”

    “You spell that with an ‘e’”

    “Eliminate The department of oops”

    “Please clap.”

    “Lock her up. But me first.”

    “Fine people on both sides.”

    “#bebest”

    “Mars of which the moon is part.”

    “Man this is a long speech. I need some water.”

    “and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska”

    Just scratching the surface…

    In a most classic example of the “Politics as Horserace” journalistic form, the BYTs at Politico woke up last week and noticed, suddenly, that the Dem primary contest was featuring lots and lots of policy debate.

    So what do they do about it?
    In a season in which the front runners are abandoning the Hyde amendment, embracing MFA, trillions for Green Jobs, $15 min wage, and student loan forgiveness they write a thousand word story amounting to a scorecard.

    For all the talk about how president stupid is driving the RapeCage party off an electoral cliff, the other big story that will go unreported is how the activism his presidency has generated is taking the Democratic Party out of the hands of The Aspen Institute and returning it to the voters.

    This media will not do its job.

    Apparently, to Bob, kiddie porn is much more acceptable, as is horse fucking, than perpetrating a once in a life time hoax, so much that he has to dig back in years.

    “Not if they don’t show up when they’re needed.”

    Turnout among voters under 30 tripled (200% increase) between the 2014 and 2018 mids in Northampton County PA. Young Dems turned out at 77% the rate of all Dems, compared to 60% for young CageRapists.

    Data points like these aren’t 2020 voters. But they do indicate trend lines and demonstrate strategy. These are the counties the Dem nominee must win. And this is how it is done. And vote file data just like this is found in every one of the key battleground states in counties just like Northampton.

    @ 89

    Turnout among voters under 30 tripled (200% increase) between the 2014 and 2018 mids in Northampton County PA.

    I don’t doubt it. One reason is that there was no US Senate race in PA during 2014. Um, neither will there be in 2020, come to think of it.

    Models failed those using them in 2016 – just ask Robby Mook. One of my all-time fave HA pieces is this one by Goldy, written the day before the 2016 November elections:

    Garbage In, Garbage Out: Are Republican “Pollsters” Gaming Poll Aggregators with Bullshit “Polls?”

    http://horsesass.org/garbage-i.....hit-polls/

    I’m left wondering why the same won’t occur in 2020. The most trusted polls being wrong, I mean. Not Goldy so publicly making a fool of himself – I don’t doubt that will continue.

    Serious question(s):

    Turnout in that county in 2020 for:

    Warren would be…..?

    Harris would be….?

    Biden would be….?

    I have no idea. I suspect significantly higher if it’s Harris at the top of the ticket. You need enthusiasm to drive turnout. It wasn’t there for Hillary. I question whether it would be there for anyone older who is not Bernie, too.

    79)Too bad they eliminated bus conductors, and I believe gone cashless. The conductors ticket machine could have made a good weapon against the gang.

    @ 93

    And if the ticket machine didn’t work they could always issue knives so the conductors could protect themselves. And once that doesn’t work…

    Silly argument, Railfan. But it beats asking where all of these gangs came from all of a sudden, doesn’t it?

    Wonder if there will be hearings on ‘Fake News’ outlets.

    Donald Trump was seeking to jettison the landmark nuclear deal that his predecessor had signed with Iran in 2015, and he was looking for ways to win over a skeptical press. The White House claimed that the nuclear deal had allowed Iran to increase its military budget, and Washington Post reporters Salvador Rizzo and Meg Kelly asked for a source. In response, the White House passed along an article published in Forbes by a writer named Heshmat Alavi.
    …
    There’s a problem, though: Heshmat Alavi appears not to exist. Alavi’s persona is a propaganda operation run by the Iranian opposition group Mojahedin-e-Khalq, which is known by the initials MEK, two sources told The Intercept.
    …
    Alavi, whose contributor biography on the Forbes website identifies him as “an Iranian activist with a passion for equal rights,” has published scores of articles on Iran over the past few years at Forbes, The Hill, the Daily Caller, The Federalist, Saudi-owned al-Arabiya English, and other outlets. (Alavi did not respond to The Intercept’s requests for comment by Twitter direct messages or at the Gmail address he used to correspond with news outlets.)

    Are we sure Piddles hasn’t returned from the hereafter?

    Consider @57, Completely incoherent post linking a thing to some other thing.

    Consider @62, list of FNMM items that were ‘missed’

    Consider @58, 59, 97 Embedded links with little or no explanation directing to fringe right wing web sites as if hoping someone will get him paid by clicking through just to find out what a simpleton is trying to prove.

    All have a familiar ring. Maybe all the trolls are really as stupid as Piddles (RIP) or maybe reports of his demise have been exagerated?

    Maybe he was just serving a sentence with no internet access for a while.

    Are you referring to people living on Native American reservations who have to drive 60 miles each way to vote in counties run by Republican election officials?

    They just might surprise you and show up anyway. People will do that when you piss them off enough.

  105. 105

    @90 “I’m left wondering why the same won’t occur in 2020.”

    Maybe because people are waking up to the fact that our country may be permanently taken over by a crime family in hock to Russia if they don’t vote them out?

    Somehow I get the feeling that nuances of policy differences between various candidates won’t make any difference to voters in 2020.

    In a discussion that began with turnout in Northampton County, PA, I absolutely was referring to turnout from Native American reservations.

    Because

    There are no federally recognized Indian tribes in Pennsylvania…

    92,
    You’re a Republican.

    Therefore, by definition, you aren’t interested in the answers to serious questions.

    You demand tax cuts.
    You demand the right to Roll Coal without sea rise.
    You demand herd immunity without vaccinations.
    You demand women, minorities, and poor people STFU and just take it.
    You demand somebody else pave the road to your gated country club.
    And lately, you demand all the brown people go away, but only after they pave the road to your gated country club.

    These kinds of demands will always pose very, very serious questions. And for as long as there have been modern movement “conservative” Republicans you’ve insisted these serious questions don’t matter.

    This is why the Democratic party no longer gives a shit about winning you over. The Southern Strategy battles are all long over and done with. The result? The GOP won! Congratulations. You now claim hegemony over the trailer park, the tire fire, and the entirety of Pentacostalist ‘Murika.

    It’s Sunday. Have a snake and a beer, idiot.

  114. 114

    @112 “These kinds of demands will always pose very, very serious questions.”

    Not really. The only question is: Who listens to them anymore? The answer is obvious: Each other, nobody else.

    Sure, they’re 36% of the vote; in a democracy based on majority rule, that makes Russian hackers their best political asset.

  115. 115

    How not to make up shit:

    “Earlier this year, Donald Trump told reporters that ‘some’ of his presidential predecessors had told him they wish they’d built a wall along the United States’ southern border. It was, of course, an impossible claim to take seriously, which was made worse when each of the living former presidents issued statements debunking Trump’s claim.”

    http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-ma.....eal-people

    The explanation? “The president frequently shares the details of conversations that only occurred in his mind.”

  116. 116

    @115. The Hump’s main, and pretty much only, strategy is to lie. And it works. The people that believe those lies are dumber than dumb, and that’s why he continues to lie, because it works. If it didn’t work he’d be gone by now.
