      What’s wild is that he or his admin were claiming they had photo and/or video evidence of someone cutting the pool.

      More journalists need to ask him and his bootlicks why they lied about it earlier. And frame it that way: “if you are admitting you have no evidence now, why did you lie about that earlier?”

        We all have evidence of who wrecked it. This is him taking his motorcade across it right after it was sealed:

        President Donald Trump took an unannounced trip to the Lincoln Memorial to see the Reflecting Pool after he had it coated in a color he calls “American flag blue.” He did more than just see it — the president was driven across the new coating before he got out of his SUV to make a statement. The new blue coating will hide the pool’s gray stone, a color Trump said was “never good.” The project cost nearly $2 million, he said.

      Something that can be said literally every day.

      Trump nonetheless again accused Hearn – who pleaded not guilty to a felony destruction of property charge in July and has maintained he didn’t damage the pool – of intentional vandalism.

      Lawsuit.

    Our nation is arguing with a delusional narcissist about who fucked up a pool job after his no-bid contract with a two-bit coatings company botched a cheaped-out installation. Besides being perfectly emblematic of the current state of our government, it forms a perfect distraction for both the president and the people from the dismantling of democracy.

    • The surveillance society and infrastructure is built.

    • The concentration camps are built.

    • The police state is built.

    It’s a race to see if they can cut out voting before Trump’s useful incompetence is exhausted.

      They botched it, but also the worst of the damage was where Trump drove his motorcade over it.

    Aug 4: “now, we have photographs— or tapes— like moving cameras, right? we have ’em— where people are on the side, cutting it with a box knife.”

    as Donny’s cognitive collapse increases, he’s losing his words. in that clip, he can’t come up with the word ‘video’ — what seeps out of his anus-mouth instead is ‘moving cameras.’ Donny even makes a circular motion with his freakishly undersized index finger, miming — what, film in a projector?

      I mean, I’m nowhere near his age but have been losing words on the tip of my tongue since I was nowhere near my current age, so I’m not sure it’s the best indicator.

        Taken with the mountain of other publicly available evidence, I think it’s not likely to be a standard whats-the-word-i’m-thinking-of moment.
