@Acyn Guys, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if someone can jump into the reflecting pool undetected and use a box cutter to cut through 300 ft of rubber coating we were told would last half a century, our problems are much bigger than some f’ng algae.
Reporter: Are the contractors who did the initial work with a reflecting pool, are they to blame for the current condition?
Trump: No, we had vandalism. I think 300 ft slit right through, probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind or we had people lifting up. 5 people are under investigation.
So let me get this straight: Pulling a chunk of paint out of the Reflecting Pool gets you arrested for vandalism, but trump’s terrorists who attacked the Capitol, killed cops, broke windows, stole shit, and smeared their feces on the walls get to go free?
When Trump's vanity projects go haywire—like the Reflecting Pool, the ballroom, or the Kennedy Center—he manages to look incompetent and vain at the same time.
His excuses for the Reflecting Pool disaster, including blaming "vandals" for his own failures, are nothing more than lies and conspiratorial nonsense.
And if Trump wants to turn his conspiracy theories into felony cases carrying ten-year prison sentences through his Department of Justice, he'll have to present actual evidence to a grand jury.
Good luck with that.
Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!
RETWEET if you love @BarackObama!
BREAKING: It's official — Trump's Iran war is now the MOST UNPOPULAR war in American history. And he's about to hand YOU the bill.
Donald Trump just achieved something no president in American history has ever managed: he started the single most unpopular war the country has ever fought — and now he's sending YOU an $80 BILLION invoice for it.
According to a detailed analysis of 153 public opinion surveys across SEVEN major U.S. conflicts, Trump's Iran war is the most unpopular war in American history — in not one, not two, but THREE distinct ways.
First: it's the ONLY war in U.S. history to BEGIN with negative public support. At -13% net support, Americans opposed it before it even started.
Second: at -32% net support today, it is now LESS popular than the Vietnam War was at its lowest point.
Third: at NO point — not for a single day — have more Americans supported this war than opposed it. It's the first U.S. war fought ENTIRELY underwater. World War II started at +95%. Afghanistan started at +80%. Trump's Iran war started in the negatives and only sank from there.
And now comes the bill.
The Wall Street Journal reports the Pentagon told lawmakers it needs roughly $80 BILLION to recoup its Iran war costs — money Trump will formally request from Congress this week. That's ON TOP of the $1.1 TRILLION military budget Congress already approved this year.
Even more infuriating: that $80 billion figure is NEARLY THREE TIMES the $29 billion that Pete Hegseth claimed in a Senate hearing — a number he offered with NO documentation and NO methodology, and which establishment media dutifully parroted for five weeks. Independent journalists who actually did the math estimated $72 billion. They were right. Hegseth was off by tens of billions of dollars.
So, let's tally it up:
The most unpopular war in American history? Check.
Started by a president who deliberately chose it? Confirmed.
Roughly 150 dead at a bombed Iranian school? Yep.
Gas at $6 a gallon? Absolutely.
Iran's nuclear program still intact? Check.
And an $80 billion bill landing on YOUR doorstep. Certainly, if Congress agrees to Trump’s budget request.
It’s perfectly clear that the vast majority of Americans never wanted this war. Now they're paying for it anyway.
Please like and share if you never wanted a war with Iran!
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, CNBC just admitted that the Strait of Hormuz has not been opened as much as Donald Trump has told us it is. Another Trump lie exposed.
ZELENSKYY: Ukraine has begun the process of bringing the war back to Russia.
Yesterday we struck oil refinery in Tyumen region, that’s already 2,070 km from our border.
We used brand-new drones with flight range of 2,500 km. They will soon be able to fly more than 3,000 km.
We will fly even further, beyond 3,000 km, because we know exactly where all Russian military plants, oil bases, gas storage facilities, and similar targets are located.
We need longer-range tools, and we are developing them right now. Of course, the number of our deep strikes into Russia will also increase every day.
We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack.
Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it.
So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated.
He’s weak. Finish him.
President Trump fired 19 inspectors general whose job was to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. At the same time, he’s pardoned convicted fraudsters.
Why does this administration keep protecting criminals instead of protecting you?
🚨 BREAKING: Democrats are planning “Project 2029” — a blueprint to investigate, prosecute, and potentially jail Trump, his family, and key members of his administration for alleged crimes.
Thumbs up 👍 if you want to see Trump behind bars.
trump claims there's proof of the Reflecting Pool vandalism, but it's hidden in the same vault where he keeps all his other "evidence":
- The 2020 election was rigged
- Obama's Kenyan birth certificate
- Haitian migrants eating cats and dogs in Ohio
Same old grift, different day. This clown is a walking fraud factory.
BREAKING: YES! A federal judge TOSSES OUT the Justice Department's "blatantly unlawful and unethical" grand jury subpoenas against Governor Tim Walz and other Minnesota Democrats in a scathing ruling.
This is deeply embarrassing for Trump...
"Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use the grand-jury process,” wrote U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz.
In addition to Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had been targeted for daring to stand up to Trump's brutal ICE crackdowns in his city. St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her and commissioners in Ramsey and Hennepin counties were also caught in the net.
Judge Schiltz wrote that there is "no doubt" that the Trump-controlled DOJ issued the subpoenas in order to "harass" the President's political enemies so that they might cave and begin supporting his immigration agenda.
“And, of course, this campaign played out against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s well-established history of using criminal investigations to retaliate against and pressure the President’s political and personal adversaries,” added Schiltz, who was appointed by George W. Bush.
The judge is, of course, absolutely right. Trump has weaponized the Justice Department in broad daylight, making no effort hide his corruption of what was once a nonpartisan institution into an apparatus for partisan vengeance. Hell, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is his former personal attorney.
Judge Schiltz pointed to Trump's constant attacks and threats of "retribution" against Walz as proof "beyond reasonable dispute” that the subpoenas “were a part of a broader campaign to coerce state and local officials in Minnesota to assist the Trump administration in its enforcement of immigration laws.”
Once again, we see the courts serving as our last remaining guardrail against all-out MAGA fascism. This judge deserves our thanks and we must urge other courts to follow his lead!
Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!
BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu humiliates MAGA U.S. Attorney Judge Jeanine for threatening to charge the nonexistent “vandals” dumping imaginary chemicals into the Reflecting Pool.
This is EXACTLY how you handle these lying lunatics…
“I guarantee that @JudgeJeanine will not charge anyone for dumping chemicals into the reflecting pool. Because if they had any evidence they would be parading it around 24/7,” Lieu wrote on X in response to a clip of Pirro ranting on Fox News.
“The reality is Trump screwed up the reflecting pool by overpaying on a no bid contract to an amateur,” he added.
The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become a defining debacle for the Trump administration in recent weeks. The President boasted that he was going to beautify the pool while slamming Obama for failing to do so. Trump poured $14.7 million of your tax dollars into the project, only for the algae to bloom more vividly than ever before. The entire pool turned a sickly green color, at which point Trump’s minions began dumping hydrogen peroxide into the water, exacerbating the discoloration. Soon after, strips of blue lining began to flake and dislodge from the pool’s lining.
Rather than admit that he made a mistake by handing the renovation contracts to shady, incompetent firms — including one operated by a convicted felon — Trump has begun insisting that "sick" and "deranged" vandals are to blame. Pirro has eagerly embraced the insane narrative.
"Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize will face the criminal justice system in D.C.," she said. “Look, the president has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe, but beautiful.”
Obviously, nobody is vandalizing the pool. Trump and Pirro know that, but they also know that the Republican base is gullible enough to believe anything that Trump says. They bought his lies about the 2020 election without a shred of evidence and now they’re eagerly gobbling up this Reflecting Pool propaganda.
Our best recourse is do what Congressman Lieu is doing: call them out at every turn. Republicans won’t listen to us, but the Independents who decide elections will!
Please ❤️ and share if you’re loving this Reflecting Pool saga!
