So are they going to issue an arrest warrant for some waddling old fat guy with a Foghorn Leghorn haircut?
No shit
Why does Obama keep shitting trump’s pants? It’s been like 10 years. Isn’t he bored of it yet?
SAD!
I don't think I'd ever get tired of shitting on Krasnov's grave. I would like to submit this proposal to the irb for a research grant to find out.
Edit: like I got charts and graphs and shit and everything. I was a trained economist and bullshit artist once, give me five minutes for realsies
I got charts and graphs and shit
Sounds like everything necessary to conduct the research.
It comes as no surprise that nobody in this administration understands how water works.
I mean when's the last time any of them bathed?
They should put some magnets it it
They at least understand that it is wet (from the standpoint of water).
Tremendously.
Nobody knows, Particle Man.
They have a fight. Reflecting pool wins. Bronzer Man, Bronzer Man.
usa props up genocide from israel and kills thousands in foreign countries both directly and indirectly. yet what is most important to usa people is who dumped peroxide in a national monument.
We’ve not lost sight of those atrocities.
We on Lemmy are capable of thinking about multiple things at a time. Sounds weird, I know.
don't forget about mister Duck who died fulfilling his duty for this country 🫡
I repaired pools one summer. Pools tend toward algae. Pools half-saturated with chlorine develop algal blooms. Pools with heat-absorbing paint on the bottom, absent or insufficient water filtering, and location in a literal semitropical swamp are a constant (very careful, with lots of water testing) battle to prevent algal blooms. Then you go dumping peroxide in... It seems unlikely this could have gone any other way.
It's patently obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that this was neglect and/or incompetence. There is no way to "cause" an algae bloom in an adequately maintained pool or fountain in the amount of time between when it was "taken care of" by Trump's wealthy friend and contributor and when it turned green with algae. Then again most of MAGA could be considered mentally handicapped IMO. So most of his mouth breathing followers will nod along and think "Yeah, must be them libtards dun sabotaged it".
Hey we could all pee really hard at it
Clearly all that's needed is a couple of vats of Ivermectin.
Or a reflecting pool full of it so they can lay face down in it.
Every accusation is an admission.
you're a liar!!! 😡
you're a liar!!! 😡
As if evidence actually matters.
Right? If evidence did matter, Trump would be in jail and we would have the last Epstein datasets all released.
Cue Nick Cage "YOU DON'T SAY?" meme.
The chemical is hydrogen peroxide, FYI
Insider tells world the blatantly obvious is, in deed, fact.
Is it even “lying” any more if that’s literally all they’re capable of?
It is a delusional narcissist’s false projected reality that can only be immediately dismissed, because if you take time to even consider it the intended effect of injecting doubt has been accomplished. It’s just noise; a memetic hazard fishing for a weak impressionable mind to inhabit. At this level of broad transmissibility and influence, I can only manage to describe it in the terms of a dangerous psychological phenomenon.
In the end, the reflecting pool is a symptom and not a cause. It accurately reflects the state of our country right now. If a dirty pool meant we spent the money and effort on food, housing, and schools, I’d be happy to see it. Instead, we have a fitting monument symbolic of America’s corruption, inept leadership, and Trump’s sad obsession with gaudy real estate projects built in his image by the lowest bidder most capable of fellating his ego.
It is a tidy distraction from the cold-blooded murder abroad and at home, and from bargaining away the country to America’s enemies for the low price of funneling money and power to Trump’s interests.
It defies description.

YES
Thank you. The attempts to normalize unacceptable behavior have been a big part of the problem.
Lying has not stopped being lying. Lying has not stopped being wrong.
Just to be clear, normalizing it is not my intent here. It’s to emphasize that it goes so, so far beyond simple lies - so far that I think it’s deep into pathological disorder, on a national scale. These people are literally incapable of saying anything approaching the truth. They are projecting an alternate reality that I’m not completely sure they can see outside of, to varying personal degrees.
This does not excuse their criminal behavior, it indicates that they are criminally insane. Politicians lie. Police officers lie. Pundits lie. But they at least seem to be aware of it. The stuff coming out of the Trump administration is full on delusional.
There’s lying, and then there’s remorselessly wielding presidential power to manipulate the stock market with an illegal war. The latter is a crime against humanity.
Gee what a shock.
Color me surprised with a marker that is BONE. FUCKING. DRY.
Who cares. Everyone said the algae would return, and it did because it's a stagnant pool of water without chemicals.
And fairly clear he rushed it to get it done for his birthday
Everyone needs to stop talking about what he claims, and instead openly ask him why painting the bottom at all would stop the algae. Everything else is basically defence
Scheming on a thing, that’s a mirage
...when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's a mirage
