Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Two more dead ducks have been found near Donald Trump's Reflecting Pool. The dead ducks were discovered floating in a pond at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall, a short distance from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, according to The Washington Post.

Paint the pool blue, causing it to reflect less sunlight, making it warmer and perfect for an algae bloom. Pour in hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae, killing ducks in the process. The hydrogen peroxide causes the paint to peel, so you blame "vandals." Drain pool, repeat.

Is Polio Bob eating the ducks killed by Pedo 47's toxic pool?

Muscovy ducks. Non-native invasive species. The environmentalist fix is culling.

Trump drove his entire motorcade over the newly finished pool before it was re-filled for a photo-op, obviously ruining the sealant.

He is directly to blame.

Some folks are now referring to pedo 47 as Algae Hiss.

Agreed!

The bride started sourcing from them during Covid. Now, it's our go-to for duck, Berkshire pork chops, and lamb. It's completely ruined me for restaurant duck.

Expensive, but worth it. And scads less than we'd pay at a restaurant for that taste.

Is thinking about Trump's sanity.

The pool reflects Trump's mental illness.

Not just a pun. Stark reality.

Which reminds me of an ancient and quite demented family member, who kept calling the police to insist that people were sitting in the trees staring at her through her window.

I don't see a fingernail's worth of difference between this and Trump's conviction that teams of ninja vandals are sneaking in to create enormous cuts in the reflecting pool no one can actually see the next morning.

An apt comparison.

The no-bid contract went to a donor.

He is a parasite being consumed by more parasite.

I had heard that, but I was skeptical if it actually happened because I didn't want to believe he would be that stupid to do such a thing.

Then this morning I saw the video of it on the news.

I also saw the video of Pres Trump saying on May 4, 2026 that the coating is so strong that a knife could not cut it.

Tillis: Pirro can't be taken 'seriously' for prosecuting alleged reflecting pool vandalism thehill.com

... Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) is blasting U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for threatening to prosecute people accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool to the fullest extent of the law after President Trump granted blanket pardons last year to people convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol.

"I don't know what's worse to you, vandalizing a pool or assaulting a police officer?" he said. "Now we got somebody, let's say they took a pen knife to a damn pool liner, you're going to prosecute them for 10 years?"

"And you've let people that admitted to assaulting a police officer go and think I can take that person seriously? Nah uh," Tillis, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said. ...
