The Conservative Cave

How many times have we heard this same shtick from DU?

“It’s going downhill! Calamity! Catastrophe! Plague locusts! The red coats are coming!!!”

If you awakened tomorrow morning and you heard that his latest proposal would be to demolish Hoover Dam ...

Heard from whom? Your ? Your padded-cell cellmate? Your gaseous rectal emissions?

Here's what the EEEEeeeeeeeeee-vile Bogey-Trump is up to wrt Hoover Dam:

Enhancing Hoover Dam’s Infrastructure and Energy Reliability

https://www.usbr.gov/newsroom/news-release/5340

WASHINGTON — The Bureau of Reclamation is investing approximately $52 million from the Hoover Dam Post Retirement Benefit fund in critical infrastructure, operations, and maintenance at Hoover Dam, including replacement of up to three older turbines with wide-head turbines designed to operate at lower lake elevations. This determination comes at a pivotal moment as prolonged drought and declining Lake Mead elevations continue to affect hydropower generation that supports people and industry throughout the American Southwest.

 “This action ensures Hoover Dam remains a cornerstone of American energy production for decades to come,” said Assistant Secretary for Water and Science Andrea Travnicek. “By investing in critical infrastructure upgrades and advanced wide-head turbine technology, we are increasing the dam’s resilience to drought, protecting reliable hydropower generation for communities across the Southwest, and delivering on President Trump’s commitment to strengthen America’s energy security through modernized infrastructure and responsible resource management.”

It's amazing wjat you find ... if you actually look.  

The Replies to PCIntern are the drunken-pack-of chimpanzee howlings you would expect. Quite a few referenced the Trump-is-a-Russian-operative dogma, and one specifically referenced the mythic "Pee Tape". Not one of the 63 Repliers bothered to ask - let alone factcheck - whether PCIntern's claim wrt Hoover Dam is true. Unsurprisingly.

Recommend It's progressing quickly:

The rapidity of the downhill course is increasing in speed. If you listen to this week’s use of language, phraseology, the nature of the attack on his perceived mortal enemies, there is a clearly increasing lack of inhibition. He is approaching asymptotically a line which he may suddenly cross “unexpectedly”.

Many years ago in New York City, he purchased and demolished the Bonwit Teller Building. This structure contained some stone frescoes which he promised to donate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Of course, he had his men jackhammer them into oblivion. He has a need to destroy, to ruin, to defile, and likely, to kill. When I first heard of the fate of the East Wing I thought immediately of the Bonwit Teller fiasco.

If you awakened tomorrow morning and you heard that his latest proposal would be to demolish Hoover Dam for some utterly specious and insane reason, you should not be surprised. There is no limit: he is destroying the military (something I never thought could be possible), the nature of Washington, DC, healthcare and programs for children and underprivileged, and too many other things to list here. He and his henchmen are a wrecking crew -it’s like The Joker in Gotham City in the Batman films. Insanity prevails and is progressing at a startling rate which is increasing by the day.

And, like an abused family which has rationalized its abuser, we get up and go to work, send our kids to what’s left of the schools, and hope that things work out. You best better hope that there’s a Plan B somewhere, and I am not referring to the pharmaceutical. This next three months may determine the future of this once-great Nation.

After all, we are now essentially incapable of building another Hoover Dam or its equivalent in the manner in which it was conceived and constructed. The same goes for rural electrification, or any other national project such as the Interstate Highway System. We are on National Life Support right now. It’s a race against time.

Don't pat yourself on the back too hard. You might fall down.

Like most of their fantasies, DU hasn't thought this one through.

Thinking is not one of their strong traits over there!

Oh look!

Its that so-called non-partisan asshat, jack smith, at the protest concert:



Doesn't look very non-partisan to me.
