There are no words on how stupid and corrupt this administration is.
Probably used some crappy house paint instead of properly prepping and sealing cement and then applying a 2-part epoxy meant for continuous contact with water.
The contractor pocketed the difference.
Now we have more plastic type waste, wasted money, wasted news cycle about the dumb job. Have no fear, though, they’ll waste no time at all auditing the job.
Everything trump touches dies.
Thanks Obama!
To be clear, that’s more my reflecting pool than it is Trump’s. I pay more taxes than he does and that’s 14mil taxpayer money.
It does look like a nice color in the pic
The very best color
A great success: the dirty, smelly, green pond with chunks floating on the surface from some cowboy MAGA contractor whose work lasted one week will be a perfect symbol of the USA on its 250th birthday.
Truly, we are a decadent empire.
Wait… they’ve been dumping bleach and hydrogen peroxide and who knows what in the pool, did they actually fuck it up from sheer incompetence?
did they actually fuck it up from sheer incompetence?
Fucking things up with sheer incompetence has been a hallmark of this entire administration. At this point, I’d be astonished if it was just a run-of-the-mill accident.
I just realized my first reaction to this was “SURELY it can’t be this shady contractor that fucked up, it had to have been the US government” and the fact there’s a decent chance that this is correct is somehow still amazing to me.
Dude, American Patriot Desert Eagle USA Coatings Inc, LLC is sooOooo legit.
Yes, permanently.
Just drain it and then clean the paint off and sand it down to smooth out the stone again.
Then you can fill the pool with water that has been treated properly.
It’s not hard, it just takes competent people being in charge of it. Not someone’s “pool guy”
I see your problem right there
You said “competent people”, and this is not only the US government, this is the US Trump government.
Competency has gone long, long ago
I’m reading Maintenance of Everything: Part One by Stewart Brand (of Whole Earth Catalog and the WELL fame) and it makes a great companion piece to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
Anyway, reading this book at the same time as watching this colossal fuckup by know-nothing blowhards like Donvict is quite interesting. For instance, I just read the part about the reconstruction of the Statue of Liberty and what was involved, and the discussion on the war on rust.
I’m sure a thoughtful writeup on the problems here and the attempts on fixing it would be a great thing for other parts in the series. I might even reach out to him to suggest it…
According to the article
No complaints have been reported, however, from the local ducks, who have been conducting business as usual.
Apparently, they don’t mind the hydrogen peroxide. But maybe that’s just the article trying to be funny.
Ha! I fucking called this not even a week ago! And two people down voted it, btw.
People are pretty shitty with downvotes tbh. They use them as a more passive middle finger. Just a quick “feel bad, because you are bad” signal. I wish I didn’t care about them but my human nature gets the best of me. If switching instances was easier I’d probably go to one that has them disabled.
Everyone called it
Just the quality you’d expect.
Another triumph for King Mierdas
Fuckero de Los Niños
As litigious as he is I’m assuming he’s suing this shoddy company for the benefit of the bargain, that is, THEY’LL be on the hook for covering the proper fixes done by a competent company?
Our lord and savior with his stunning 5D chess! This was a money saving scheme from the beginning! ❤️❤️❤️
He drained the swamp… right?
Where do you think they got the water to fill the reflecting pond?
I’d trust ACME more than I trust Trump’s people.
I guess he didn’t want to pay extra for the waterproof paint lol
In order to drain the swamp we must first build the swamp.
