The Real President Threatens To Take Back The Panama Canal

[dmallord]

Why don't they use salt water, pumped out of the ocean?

Silly. Are you serious? Some light reading for you since you seem too busy to research this independently.

seawater and Panama

And the really sad thing is that you have no idea how far over your head that post passed.

I might have been traveling with Elon for all you know. (or suspect)

You have been having fun today. *chuckle*

 

[Lance_Castro]

Can't wait until the new military branch, Ice Force is introduced

Don’t you mean Executive Branch?
Lol

Comedy is pain relief.

Nope.

You are the one that said that

I meant military branch.

Because I understand there aren't three executive branches and that there are multiple military branches.

I'm about 5'8" most days, so your kind of shit quickly goes over it. The sad thing is you believe your comment was humorous or erudite. To be clear, it wasn't either of those.

As to you being with Elon, who gives a rat's ass?

Using one alt to praise your other alt is true lunacy. Here’s your award

That’s tall for a duck!

That’s tall for a duck!

Mallords are a bit taller than most mallards in these parts. Hence, they have more foresight on most matters regarding water.

 

[Lance_Castro]

According to J.R.R. Tolkien, hobbits are between two and four feet tall, with the average height being three feet six inches

Thanks for clarifying!

Yup. "Compromise Solutions" usually results in splitting control 2 out of 3 (Presidency, House, Senate)...btw the latter two are "Legislative" branches not "Executive".

Absolute control over the House, Senate, and Presidency is relatively rare.
It will be interesting to see how badly President Musk fucks things up.

I heard that Musk, as part of cuts DOGE will make, will get rid of the senate because it’s dead weight and costs bigly. DOGE will keep congress intact because it holds the purse strings.

The USA may be in need of a lot of comedians in the upcoming years.

Why don't they use salt water, pumped out of the ocean?

The fresh water lake used for filling the locks is ~ 85’ above sea level. To pump 52 million gallons of sea water for one ship’s passage would require ~ .8 gigawatthours of electricity. ($144,000 per ship at Panama’s rate of ~ $0.18/kwh)

According to Doc Brown only 1.21 gigawatts is required for time travel - but that’s a measure of instantaneous power, not energy.

still taller than lance.

I hope it makes a comeback.

Panama’s Leader Takes Up Feud With Trump Over Canal Control

Panama’s president rebuffed Donald Trump’s threat to reimpose US control over the Panama Canal, saying its shipping tolls aren’t inflated and that sovereignty over the waterway isn’t negotiable.

“Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent zones is part of Panama, and it will continue to be,” President José Raúl Mulino said Sunday.

In his usual petulant 4-year-old manner, Trump replied …

After Mulino’s retort about continued Panamanian control, Trump said, “We’ll see about that!” on his Truth Social platform.

It’s hilarious when Diaper Donnie tries to be “macho”.

 

[BAstoicguy]

Panama is going to win that fight. They have ALL the leverage. We really need them more than they need us.

Maybe Panama will sign a defense treaty with Russia, China, and North Korea.

Here are the real presidents dude!

Q: When was the last time Democrats held all 3 Branches?

A: the 1960’s.

Giggle at that!

IMO - ya got off easy having to answer how you don't have a clue what the 3 branches are.
I'm still trying to figure out how the repubs having control of all 3 has anything at all to do with the conversation of the canal.
No worries - no one will be waiting around for a reply to that since you've already shown you're just a dumbass cankee.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Each time a ship passes through the locks, about 52 million gallons of freshwater is used, which is then drained into the ocean. Sustainable water management is essential for the canal’s operation, and ongoing projects help address challenges like droughts caused by climate variability.

Maybe Panama can offer discounts to shipping companies and Nations who take climate change seriously.

I wanted to return to this.

Excellent idea! US flagged ships and shippers would receive the deepest discounts. That would be a bonus even Trump didn't think about.

And exactly which nation do you think would be best capable of managing the water resources? The US or Panama?

HaHaHa.

I hope AB decides to not give you his time to answer this. Me? I'm gonna just laugh at how intelligent you think you are by thinking this.

 

[Politruk]

No, they wouldn't, because they would not qualify as ships of "nations who take climate change seriously."

Yes, i can see you’re having trouble with that.
Lol

LOL - Why, man, whhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I wanted the logic behind his shit thought to stink up the thread just a bit longer.
