The paint is now peeling off of the bottom in large chunks.

Like the Strait of Hormuz, everything was working okay before Trump got involved.

So much for crony capitalism, eh? Trump used his "fantastic pool guys."

Everything Trump touches breaks.

He's a Surrender Monkey! Loser!

I've always thought death certificates for people who died needlessly of COVID should include "Stupidity" as a cause of death.

Vance, 41, came on the show appearing to wear eyeliner

He's part of the "guyliner" community.

Does he stand in front of mirrors and growls "ARRR" in a Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow way?

More like high APR debt on a 144 month car loan.

And a small peter ... lol

When I see a dude driving a Cybertruck I think, "dude must have a small peter and a wasteful wallet."

The eyeliner gives him the evil look of a movie villain.

Ya. He's been promising self-driving is "months away" for years.

Trump said he hired his pool guys because they do such a good job at his country clubs.

No one from the pool company said, "we'd better get thousands of gallons of peroxide/chlorine in here or we'll have algae" ???

Good idea (PVC/pantyhose). I'm all for you taking over management of the Reflecting Pool :-)

Cuts to the National Park Service 2026 budget haven't helped keep up with maintenance at facilities they manage and maintain.

Trump proposed cutting 72% from next year's NPS construction budget, which includes upgrades to old water systems.

PS - DC is a concrete jungle. 90's aren't unusual in the summer though sometimes it cools down.

Adjust for it being hotter in DC summers now than it was 40 yeara ago.

I was there most recently summer of 2024 when it was in the 90's. No algae.

The NPS must have been doing something to prevent algae the dozens of times I've been in DC since the early 80's, including summer.

I've never seen it green with algae. Well, I hope they can fix the problems ...

To Funny Flagger LEFTHNDTHRDS:

I was vaccinated, caught COVID - my wife caught it in the hospital when none of the nurses in the surgical recovery area were wearing masks during a COVID surge and I caught it from her - and didn't die or end up in an ICU. Same genes.

You are not smart enough to understand the distinction, obviously.

I've been to DC many, many times. I can't recall ever seeing algae in the reflecting pool. Perhaps this is why:

One of the issues appears to be the water source. The Reflecting Pool usually draws water from the nearby Tidal Basin, which is often filled with algae. During periods with high amounts of algae, the water supply switches to municipal drinking water. The US Interior Department didn't immediately respond to questions from WIRED about which water source is currently feeding the pool.

"You talk about regime change," Trump said at the G7 meeting yesterday. "I never cared about regime change. It [was] never a part."

Tell that to the Iranians who were desperately incautious enough to actually lay their bone spurs aside, take heart from your incitement and rebel against the regime.

Well, actually, you probably can't- so many of them are dead, lying in mass graves, testimony to the idea that anything and everything you bump into turns to sh#te.

Wasn't regime change one of the first of many excuses Trump bandied about for the war?

I was in DC last year and saw no algae in the reflecting pool.

Since I'm not a chemist, would someone kindly explain why it's appeared all of the sudden?

Per Musk, self-driving is always "only months away."

Been that way for years ...

Without LIDAR and RADAR, I'll never ride in a TESLA using self-driving mode. Cameras simply aren't enough.

My youngest sister, a Trump-loving evangelical, refused to get vaxxed or wear a mask because she bought into the nonsense pedaled on right wing sites, died of COVID in an ICU. I begged her to reconsider getting vaxxed or at the least wear a mask, but she was adamant COVID would "quickly go away" as Trump professed early on.

(Trump would have died of COVID if not for the first-rate medical care provided by taxpayers he received after contracting COVID)

I've always thought death certificates for people who died needlessly of COVID should include "Stupidity" as a cause of death.
