Criminal Governor? The governor of California accepted three and a half billion dollars from the federal gov't to build a high speed railway and now..

@Bagalamaga Apologies, but this was the first link that came up.

Here is a more polite version:

Note that the second link says Newsome "doesn't plan to walk away from the money".

@4meAndyou I think he doesn’t want to give the money back because he doesn’t have it anymore. If the next government will be conservative,he will regret it.

@Bagalamaga I think you are right. I am kind of liking my "borrowing money from my mother so I can buy ice cream" analogy that I used below. If I promise my mother I will mow the lawn tomorrow if she will loan me money for ice cream today, and then I don't mow the lawn, do I need to pay my mother back? Even if I don't have enough money to do that right now?

@4meAndyou im pretty sure a contract was written before they landed 3.5 billion for the project. He can call Trump whatever he wants but that’s not going to make him immune to the law.

@Bagalamaga I hope so. I didn't research the original allocation.

@4meAndyou It’s all about publicity. Why else he would openly stand up like that. If Trump gets re-elected,it will shatter a lot of plans for some people.

@Bagalamaga I think they might want to get ready for that. The democratic candidates so far are a joke.

@4meAndyou it will get nasty before the elections. The who can dig up more dirt on the opposition will decide the outcome. The democrats are pretty much out of bullets at this point,that might be their downfall

@Bagalamaga I think it is starting already. Democrats are being mowed down at an alarming rate.

@4meAndyou and,,,, He blocked me! LOL

@SatyrService Who? Humbug?

@4meAndyou waleskinder

@SatyrService Ohhh. Well, not surprised. I think he's quite drunk.
