I can’t wait till a real adult gets in there and unfucks everything this pedophile fucked.
If he hasn’t already fucked it into submission.
This may not be reversible, some things he does especially involving painting granite, like the OEOB proposal, are not really fixable. So this thing is now coated forever unless it’s torn up and replaced, and the coating will break down within years I’m sure.
The damage he’s done in a year is likely not going to be fixed in our lifetimes with the rate that we make progress in this country.
“The rate at which we make progress”
See: Backwards :/
At the very least, this isn’t an old/historic pool, the old one was ripped up entirely in 2010 and remade with new concrete.
So if he ruins it, it’ll cost a bit to fix but it’s not ruining a historical artifact.
It’s ruined in the short term for sure. It’s a reflecting pool, not a swimming pool. It’s supposed to be dark, not light blue.
It’s my understanding it is fed with water from the Potomac, so there is no way to keep it blue, there are no filtration systems in place that they can add chlorine to. So the pool will end up turning black again, it will just look patchy and ugly.
It’s so on the nose for this asshole who is unable to engage in self reflection at all to ruin the reflection pool because he doesn’t understand what it’s for and thinks, “pools need to be blue!”.
2010 you say, so this is yet another thing that was done during Obama that trump has to mess with.
Just grind the surface like any other concrete job.
Undoing this damage will require the US to take a long hard look at itself and I don’t think there is the impetus to do that.
Why would, for example Europe, want to get back in bed with the US as long as the GOP who caused all of the problems still exist? We could have 8 years of stability and then some other insane republican gets in and it’s back to square one again. The better option is to just label the US’s politically unstable, and not have anything to do with them anymore.
If you want the rest of the world to trust you again you’re going to have to put these idiots on trial, give them serious prison sentences, and then change the stupid constitution so that convicted criminals are ineligible for office and the president isn’t God emperor, they have some limits on power. Also having the president elect court justices is obviously stupid as well, fix that.
Of course none of this will happen.
You can’t un fuck a child. Once child rape is done it’s done and I can’t believe I just said this about a sitting president in the United States
sweet summer child… nobody is coming to save you
Not just for me, my friend… this affects the entire world. This piece of shit is a danger to the entire world, geopolitically and environmentally.
yes but I’m not holding out in hope democracy, which was alnowed to be destroyed in Murica, comes to save us magically
dont think its reversible, right now they are getting thier golden parachutes ready to ditch the usa, for EU/UK/NZ/AUS when this all over. plus the DNC is totally complicit with trump on this, i dont think NEWSOME being so milquetoast would be do anything useful.
Unless, by some miracle, a Mamdani presents themselves and gets elected through ruthless force Obama-style, nothing is changing. The centrists will gladly let his monuments and statues and gold leaf stand as long as they continue to personally benefit from it all.
I thought he was foreign born which would make him ineligible to be president.
Yeah, that’s why it says “a Mamdani” and not Mamdani.
They better prosecute the lot of them this time
HEY! Prosecuting Pedophiles is TOO Political!
-Democrats!
I’m too European to understand, I get that it’s a Trumpism but what has he done this time
This is the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, a treasured landmark seen in many iconic images and films. The mad king had it drained so that the bottom could be painted blue, adding an over-saturated “ocean” color.
Why though?
So we are not talking how to dethrone a pedophile loser put in power by racist trash manipulated by oligarchs.
Emphasis on ‘mad king’
Why indeed
It does get refurbished every so often. That’s his excuse for making it tacky, the way he prefers things.
he likes anything gold, even if the gold is just a foil on a crappy surface.
This is true, but think of things on a large (soon to be bankrupt) casino scale. That’s where we get this pool from.
he has pedophelia constantly nagging at his periphery, he needs constant media distractions.
Wait? What? I haven’t seen this in the news. It’s very stupid.
I thought it was a parking lot, and was very confused.
He’s not quite king yet.
He already is king in everything but title…
- Stands above the law.
- Makes his own laws.
- Nullifies laws that don’t suit him.
- Takes “gifts” for favors (political and personal).
- Pardons whomever he pleases.
- Has his friends and family ingrained in government.
- Holds a court of sycophants.
- Plans to stay in power indefinitely.
- Meddles with election results.
- Tells the people his appointment is an act of God.
- Will choose/appoint his successor upon his death.
- Denies words of the leader of the Catholic church, as if he stands above them.
- Renames landmarks and architecture after himself.
- Refuses to be (de-?)elected out of office.
- Has his own armed forces outside of a standing army.
As long as he stays in that office, he’s immune to prosecution or litigation of any kind. That’s kingly enough.
how so
That’s the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
Which apparently benefits from having a dark bottom to aid in the mirror effect, you know, to reflect. The blue bottom is going to reduce the quality of the reflection.
These are just never ending insults to injury.
No you don’t get it, pools have blue vinyl. All the best pools have blue vinyl, anyway. I know pool experts - the best experts, and they say it’s gotta be blue.
America’s new colors are red, white and Prussian blue.
What am I looking at here?
It’s the Majdanek Gas Chamber. The blue spots are results from Zyklon B which reacts with Iron.
The new white house ballroom. Trump got a deal with trump jrs construction company to build it.
OMG that’s the Lincoln memorial people. Is nothing sacred?
On the grass, right about the spot where there’s an empty square on the left hand side, is where my wife and I had our first kiss. I bet I’m going to hate what this becomes whenever I get the chance to go back and visit.
I’m surprised it’s not golden?
Holy shit that looks bad… They’ll probably claim it’s all uneven on purpose to look more like the ocean or something.
The US really does deserve Trump. I genuinely HOPE he will add his face to Mount Rushmore.
Ah, fuck off troll.
No country on this planet deserves Trump, or anything like him. He’s not even fit to run a McDonalds.
The first time, maybe. The second time, you knew exactly what you were getting and bought it anyway.
plus there were more obvious signs to not vote for him, or doing nothing which is essentially voting for him.
Please don’t advocate further disfiguring a holy site
It would literally be less disfigured if you blew it up. Adding Trump couldn’t disfigure it any more, he’s just as good of a president as the other four fuckers on there already.
The US really does deserve Trump.
I understand your sentiment, but it’s a worldwide impact.
Don’t worry about his buddy. He’s gonna screw his buddy out of the contract. There will be a lawsuit after it’s all done.
I feel pretty surprised how much is still standing in Washington.
Can’t wait to see the advanced AI cleaning robots. Roombas on a float set to mop mode.
