Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.

The ironic part about every compliment we’ve gotten about the World Cup is what the guests are falling in love with is Diversity. It’s the thing that actually makes this place worth staying in and why we can’t allow it to be destroyed.

The thing about electing an incompetent buffoon to own the libs is that sometimes, you know, on occasion, it's actually kind of important for the President to be competent.

[Lyndon Baines Johnson @lyndonbajohnson]

Almost all American politics for most US history was conducted at aj excess of .08% BAC. On this matter we are staunch traditionalists and conservatives. Make politics drunk again. -OS

US Soccer's incredible improvement can only be attributed to one thing:

President Trump's transcendent leadership.

When even France is like "hey, slow down, you're surrendering too fast," you know it's bad.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

If Trump gets away with this narrative, the incentive is to always roll the dice on more wars.

The truth is he signed an abject surrender at Versailles, same as the defeated Germans and complete with reparations payments — his policy failed.

Dolan really is the owner who most personifies MAGA in that you can give him everything he wants and he'll still be a miserable asshole about it. All he had to do for a PR victory lap was smile and be happy and he couldn't even do it.

He may not be wrong!

But that's what like 99% of people were telling him before he launched the attack!

I was not keen on the war

I’m not keen on the peace

Starting the war and then surrendering to the enemy is the worst possible outcome

[Hamid Bendaas 🇩🇿🇵🇸 @HBendaas]

It is funny that some economists were vocally in distress about why a complete closing of the Strait was not having the kind of energy shock they expected and instead of the fundamentals of economics being wrong it was just run of the mill corruption and lying

[Shea Jordan Smith @sheajordansmith]

This is what happens when we build a stadium district around parking lots instead of building a destination.

If only there were bars, restaurants, entertainment venues, or just a meaningful public space around NRG where people could spend an hour or two after a match/games/concert/the Rodeo instead of standing in crowd for one or two trains.

total surrender

[Jane Coaston 🏔️ @janecoaston]

This is extremely funny.

“Why are elites more pro-immigration?”

Because you meet people like Dwarkesh. You realize how stupid accidents of birth are in determining where talented people should be allowed to live.

It’s unthinkable to elites how much stake proles put in superficial traits.

[Travis Kavulla @TKavulla]

The fact that an energy-branded stadium in Houston has more pleasant air conditioning than a typical Berlin hotel room also belongs in the pantheon of Americana, right up there with Buc-ee's & Waffle House

[Evan @evan7257]

What should World Cup tourists do in Houston?

Here's my earnest answer: Go to the Kemah Boardwalk.

And make sure to get there on 225. Look at the refineries. Take in the smell. Because everything in your world relies on what's happening at the Port of Houston.
