It is deeply frustrating how easily Americans moved past the reality that Donald Trump attempted an actual coup in 2021 and failed miserably.

He should have been disqualified from ever holding power again the moment he tried to overturn the election results. He is a traitor who belongs in jail, plain and simple.

Treating his actions as just another political scandal that can be brushed aside is completely unacceptable.

The Republicans who enabled this comeback are absolute traitors to the US. They had multiple opportunities to draw a line in the sand and reject him.

Instead, they acted in a pathetic manner by backing him as their candidate and enabling him to become president again

BREAKING: The MAGA bozo responsible for Trump's disastrous Reflecting Pool "renovations" is exposed — and his company is literally named "Greenwater Services."

Meet John Cafaro.

Despite looking like a 1950s cartoon mobster, this is a real, flesh-and-blood human being from Trump's inner circle. He's also a convicted felon who previously pleaded guilty to bribing a member of Congress.

Cafaro received a $1.7 million no-bid contract to install a water-purification system in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Normally, the National Park Service would have a robust open bidding process to find the most reasonably priced, most competent contractor. Instead, the job was entrusted into Cafaro's sweaty mitts without much scrutiny.

The details of that contract are murky, like everything else involving this administration, so it's safe to presume that there was a healthy dose of corruption and graft involved. It's no coincidence that Cafaro just happens to be a big Trump donor and a Mar-a-Lago neighbor. He's given at least $300,000 to PACs tied to the President.

Like everyone else in Trump's circle, Cafaro has proven to be exceptionally incompetent. The Reflecting Pool is now a cesspit of algae and looks greener than ever before. Another company unrelated to Cafaro received the $14.7 million no-bid contract to install blue waterproofing material in the pool. That firm likewise did an incredibly poor job, as chunks of the material are now peeling away and floating to the surface.

This is how things work in third world dictatorships. Cronies and political allies are awarded contracts to reward them for their loyalty to the regime and there's no expectation that they'll ever fulfill the work to proper specifications.

The administration, rather than admit their failure, has taken to posting fake pictures on social media while insisting that the water is crystal clear.

We have eyes. We can see how bad it's gotten.

Please ❤️ and share to demand a full investigation into the Reflecting Pool contracts!

@CBBCarter The 31 vs. GU was in the regular season, not the WCC tournament semi-final which St. Mary's lost to Santa Clara. Lewis will be a solid addition wherever he goes.
