The same donald trump who threatened "years in jail" for people who touch the peeling paint in the Reflecting pool pardoned 1500 people who destroyed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
As someone who works with transgenic mouse models for cancer research, this is objectively one of the funniest things I’ve seen a real life politician post
BREAKING: President Trump said the newly restored Reflecting Pool would last "50 to 100 years" before needing major work.
Less than a week later, the sealant was reportedly peeling, algae turned the water green, and federal crews were called in for emergency cleanup on a project that cost roughly $15 million.
That's an expensive way to end up back where you started.
The Texas screwworm story is a version of this. The Reflecting Pool fiasco is a version of this. The Iranian war is a very large and ongoing version of this.
Everywhere you look, incompetence is having its natural consequences, with more to come. Much more, I'm afraid.
One thing about the painting of the Reflection Pool in DC is, they didn't even sandblast or shotblast the concrete but instead pressure washed the basin.
The paint is going to peal in no time. Sand blasting and shot blasting create a surface for the paint to actually stick to.
National Park Service employees and contractors to trying hard to clean the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. So far the algae seems to be winning. As for the American flag blue paint, it’s starting to peel from the bottom of the pool — a short-lived $14 million paint job.
What are we even doing as a country?
This is the state of American “journalism.”
Biden isn’t president. He wasn’t dazed. He wasn’t lost.
He was looking into the crowd after asking where his granddaughter was.
But the headline was already written, because the narrative matters more than the truth.
Millions will see it, never watch the clip, and believe the lie.
That’s not reporting.
That’s propaganda for people too lazy to think.
Holy shit. This video of a Trump advisor saying on CNN that the White House is “not afraid” to cut Medicaid and says “everything” is “on the table” including cuts on Social Security.
MAGA is about to lose their health care. #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity
There's so many more important things going on but I can't look away. It's everything wrong with their approach.
> Ignore experts warning it won't work
> Declare early victory
> Sycophants insist the new version is historic achievement
> Total failure
> MAGA pretends its fine
