    Reminder that the government is spending ridiculous money like this to accommodate the absurd whims of the elite while disabled homeless people are starving to death in droves.

    Trump is way out of his depth. I fear for him dying though because of Vance waiting in the wings.

      My hope is that Vance doesn’t have the cult leader charisma to keep this maga shit together, and a power vacuum causes it to crumble.

        They’ve been planning vance as president from the start .

        They’re going to get rid of trump and invoke his name and image to get the worshipers to go along with whatever Pete , jd and whatever other gang of assholes that are waiting in the wings want done.

      Trump is a “once in a generation” level of grifter, much like Putin, Orban or Berlusconi in their respective countries. They somehow resonate with their population deeply, and they exploit this to grab and keep power.

      Vance is just a run-of-the-mill second line fascist backed by some rich dudes, plenty to go around in every country. They (luckily) lack the charisma to pull votes in the necessary orders of magnitude to win an election.

      I doubt most MAGA fans would follow Vance, the GOP would definitely start infighting after Trump’s death.

        The problem is the longer charismatic authoritarian leader is in power; the easier for the least charismatic authoritarian leader to stay in power.

        The charismatic leader is the one who shapes the State to support the authoritarian leader.

        Sure, they will be infighting between factions however the day to day running of the government doesn’t grind to a halt.

    I’m a regular kayaker. This makes zero sense. The Ohio is huuuuge. There’s nothing to be gained by raising a river so large in a kayak other than the flex of doing it.

    We’re not talking about some of the shallower rivers with rapids that you might bottom out on in sections during dry spells. This is a deep, wide river.

      it wasn’t the ohio river, it was the lake in caesar creek state park, which feeds into the nearby little miami ~ 50 miles north of cincy and the ohio.

    That can’t have been cheap. Or good for the lake, otherwise surely it would always be like that?

      Hate to disagree with you, but openning and shutting some locks and/or spillways isn’t all that difficult, and you would be amazed how often lakes and rivers swell and go down, just from a major rainstorm or two nearby or upriver. The wildlife, for the most part, doesn’t care.

    This is the bourgeoisie in all its glory : seizing the common goods, grabbing nature by the pussy as if it were its god given right.
