Used to be that politicians were liars, but Santos seems to have taken it to a new level. Is anything on his resume true? He must have at least had parents.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Ginni Thomas admitted to House investigators she had NO evidence of voting fraud. Thomas, a lawyer married to a SCOTUS justice, “said she had been relying on ‘news reports’ and ‘friends on the ground’ who visited polling places and ‘found things suspicious.’” Read story here, and see the transcript of her J6 interview here. Her “friends” must have spotted black voters. To Republicans, that’s “suspicious.”

So that’s what it takes to get your panties twisted into a knot? And yet when the leader of your GOP, a man you voted for three times, tried to overthrow our government with a violent insurrection intended to replace our democracy with a fascist totalitarian state, you had no problem with it other than your violent resurrection being a fucking failure.

“One way I’ve tried to just explain it to people who don’t get it—lawyers don’t get it either—it’s like I was charged with walking my dog to my mailbox to get the mail when they knew for a fact that not only did I not walk to the mailbox, but it would not have been a crime. It was my mailbox, but I didn’t even own a dog.”
I’m a lawyer. And I still don’t get it…
It just takes one jilted man and a few loyal henchmen to put a woman back in her permitted place. Everyone else is just collateral damage.

1. My mom has been dead for over 30 years, so she had nothing to do with any of those returns. The liar calling himself “PI’s poor mom” is just a troll of no consequence. He probably doesn’t even have a job, and it would give me great satisfaction to hear that he was horse-whipped to death.

@12 It’s probably just an accident that the reddest county in Texas is also the most corrupt. No, it’s probably not. Corruption, bullying, and power-tripping are a way of life for Republicans. Given who they are, shit like this is inevitable.
Gun-loving Texas being Texas, and gun-loving Texans being Texans, I’m surprised none of those assholes died in a hunting accident. From somebody who thought he was shooting at feral hogs. Which he was.

19,
I’m hoping the Latah County Prosecutor is prepared to present physical and testimonial evidence that directly ties the suspect to the murders. It’s sadly too common in sensational murder investigations for investigators to latch on to “stranger danger” and build a weak case around the nearest weirdo who can be tied to the scene or the victims.
My hope is that they have solid evidence at least showing the suspect present at the murders, and not just evidence connecting him to the location.

Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
But some shithead from the Latah County Prosecutor’s office has already begun divulging information from the warrant affidavit to “the community”. Which is not the kind of thing a well run prosecutor’s office does when they know they have a solid case. Probably wins the defendant’s motion for change of venue.
It is concerning.
Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
I for one can’t see why.
After all, he was among the many of us here who urged the stupid, impetuous, emotionally driven troll to view late poll shifts with skepticism. On many occasions we explained reasons why poll results gre consistently less reliable as voting grew nearer
Yet this silly, laughable troll continued to run away with himself proclaiming RedSweeps in impossible races and predicting a forty seat majority for Kevin and a three seat majority for Moscow Mitch.
Still the troll persisted.
And now the troll weeps.

@37 “Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit won’t talk about his asset performance had he not sold all of his losers.”
I’m happy to talk about it. Up 2.4% from 1/1/22 – 12/31/22, losers included. This includes all tax-loss sales. Dividends add another 3.5%, so I made 5.9% last year.
My top gainers in 2022: Occidental Petroleum, 121%; Exxon Mobil, 80%; Chevron, 53%. Anybody see a pattern here?
Unlike you I don’t have to dodge, deflect, evade, or refuse to answer when asked about my asset performance. You won’t even tell us whether you did better or worse than the S&P 500.

Post Pandemic has led to exposing a design flaw with SOUNDER’s operating model. Most new North American commuter train operators have been built around the old 9 to 5 office. Very few are all day service. A few operators have a different service pattern, but they tend to own the majority of their right of way. UTA FrontRunner in SLC operates in their own track within the UP Right of Way. CalTrain owns the SF-San Jose line, and operates several types of services, Local(all stops), Limited, and Baby Bullet. The latter makes just a few stops. On SOUNDER SLine, such a service could be a Tacoma Seattle launch calling at just a few stations, for example Auburn and Tukwilla. The latter, due to it being tge closest station to Sea-Tac Airport. In 2000, when the first SOUNDER trains ran, it only made two stops between Tacoma and Seattle, Auburn and Sumner. Puyallup, Kent, and Tukwilla weren’t finished.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=newssearch&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjCnIvqm6f8AhVLBjQIHRIVCn0QxfQBKAB6BAgHEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.seattletimes.com%2Fseattle-news%2Ftransportation%2Fsounder-trains-future-in-limbo-as-ridership-is-slow-to-return%2F&usg=AOvVaw3TU91rqaeyAIx–vSpU4NW
In the article, it was suggested that it could attract more riders with mid-day and evening runs. There is a type of vehicle not available at the time SOUNDER was being planned, that has led to more frequent service on startups in Fort Worth and San Bernadino. Before the Stadler FLIRT was adapted to meet FRA Regs, use of any light Diesel Multiple Units was restricted to operations with time separation windows with Freight trains, so definitely not on the main line. The Stadler FLIRT platform has proven adaptable, whether it’s Standard or broad gauge, diesel, diesel-electric, electric, dual mode, battery, and hydrogen, and for uses ranging from Urban, Commuter, Regional, and Intercity. It’s uses are endless. Would love to see one tested up here, especially on the route from Freighthouse Square headed to Eatonville. The grade through Tacoma Gulch has been a killer for freight operators, at 3%. If this DMU could handle that, maybe a service to Mount Rainier, which was why the City of Tacoma originally bought the line when Weyerhaeuser was dumping it.
https://www.hsrail.org/blog/texrail-will-prove-commuter-trains-should-lose-some-weight
The Arrow in San Bernadino, besides the Stadler FLIRTs used on the Redlands service, also has a run-thru locomotive hauled service from Metrolink’s San Bernadino line.

Now, a commuter rail that puts the best networks in the US and Canada to shame, the Paris RER. Capacity, ridership, rolling stock, and Infrastructure, NY’s commuter trains don’t come close. Three disjointed networks, three different operators among row organizations. In the case of the Metro-North and LIRR a rivalry from private ownership(MN was New York Central, LIRR was Pennsylvania RailRoad) that has not gone away(rolling stock, especially third rail equipped EMUs is incompatible. SEPTA in Philadelphia at least avoided the Regional Rail division from having the same fate, a commuter rail subway connecting the Reading and PRR lines.
