It may not be a lot of money but it's still embarrassing.
>>537419789Because mentally ill Trump derangement sufferers are ripping it up lol.>Haha, look at all the cost my vandalism incurred>t. deranged leftists
>>537419789I'll peel it all off for like 50,000 dollars
God I can't wait for the demokikes to get smashed in the midterms. If this and muh 300 gorrbillion bullshit are the best you've got. You faggots are going to be out of work soon.
>>537419789Nothing lasts forever.
They should have made the reflecting pool deeper so people can swim in it with natural fish and and aquatic plants. Also during winter they should let it freeze over as a skating rink like the rockefeller place.14 million sealant or paint job is bullshit.
Sometimes problems are more complicated than you want them to be. Wish miggers would learn that lesson.
>>537421392they don't prevent it from freezing if it gets cold enough. ice skating would be cool thoswimming would be cool, too. gets hot in DC sometimes
>>537419789Like a jewish slumlord, Trump slapped a coat of paint on the reflecting pool instead of fixing it. lol...
>>537421392They should drain it and turn it into a skate park.
>>537421116You belong in a psychward. Who do I call to get you in one
>>537421116it's surreal how you're all fed the line and you just repeat it on command, pathetic.
>>537421992Nobody's buying your bullshit, kike
>>537419789>14 millionI really hope the DOJ uses that number when they decide what they value of your crimes are.
>>537421116How can “highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last for 100 years, applied by very talented people” (to quote Trump) be “ripped up” so easily?Use Occam’a Razor FFS. It was obviously a shit job done by Trump’s crony no-bid contractor. Then the Trump Administration haphazardly rushed to add ozone and hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to deal with the algae embarrassment which probably fucked-up the cheap/shoddily-applied coating to the point that it unadhered.
>>537421392>reflecting pool>let’s make it unable to reflect due to plants and surface disturbances caused by people swimmingPlease don’t beeed.
>>537422434Thousands of antifa agents under direct orders from Obama are attacking one of our most sacred sites with truckloads of bioengineered georgia swamp algae and bladed pick-axes and you're laughing?
>>537422434>Duurrr how can rip?>Anyway it came apart on it's own durdurr
>>537421785>they don't prevent it from freezing if it gets cold enough. ice skating would be cool tho>swimming would be cool, too. gets hot in DC sometimesShould make it a swimming pool. It is THE PEOPLES POOL after all
>>537419789>Not a lot of money>Can build an hospital with non indian staffThe problem w Americans, spend, don't think.
>>537422576>Thousands of antifa agents under direct orders from Obama are attacking one of our most sacred sites with truckloads of bioengineered georgia swamp algae and bladed pick-axesThey hate freedom and they will not be allowed to live above the red line in picrel after the USA balkanizes
Its a pool. This is one of the least consequential things in all of federal government, and yet theres like 6 threads going about it 24/7.Inorganic af.
>>53742126114 million should buy me a couple of weeks at least
>>537422645Rich Americans are willing to throw away shit pots of money on anything except wages for their own workers.
>>537422699california?
>>537422434Concrete can hold water inside of itself for decades. Even if they hadn't used any chemicals at all it would have eventually delaminated from moisture in the concrete trying to push out, just like how wet wood being painted does the same thing. If they wanted something reasonably permanent they should have concreted in blue tiles, which may have actually cost 14 million in materials/labour instead of spending like 600k of both and pocketing the rest, but then it wouldn't have been ready for that 250-year thing you have going.
>>537421116>>537421212crazy how you republiniggers, even you loser leaf ones defend such a pansy. nope, the only ones with TDS are the loser republicommunists. seek help, he is a spineless orange child raping pansy.
>>537419789the mall pond is the perfect analogy for the iran war.the situation was made worse and we are all poorer.
>>53742291314 million dollars and we can't even get some fucking pool tiles put in
>>537422622>how can shoddily-applied underwater paint come off after being allowed to dry/cure for less than one day before adding harsh chemicals and radically altering the pH while dragging vacuum suction tools over it repeatedly?It’s a mystery.
>>537422576>>537422699weak cope republiniggers, this is all due to the orange nigger who painted it dark, and then used a paint stripper to remove the algae problem he created, because him like yourselves, are low IQ nigwads.
>>537421116That's pretty bad ass you can just go to DC and vandalize it and the government can't pinpoint who does it.
Um was it supposed to do that
So it was shit before, it's shit now, what is the answer? Why can a first world country not manage a small standing body of water?
>>537423314
>>537422645It’s because the National Park Service broke the law and awarded a no-bid contract to a company that had never done such a large project before (its previous largest project was an Olympic-sized swimming pool, that’s 2k times smaller). If it were done normally, it probably would have cost half the amount and worked fine. What is happening is called “cronyism”.
>>537419789Why does it have the same shape as Israel?
>>537419789>spends absurd amounts of monies on cheap servicesThat's how this country got to be #1
>>537423172At 14 million it would be around $40 per square foot for tile. Would need another Anon to chime in to let us know if that's within the usual quoted prices for square footage of pool tiling as I don't have any experience in that area.
>>537419789How big is it and how can it cost that much?
>>537423208Does americans not understand sarcasm?
>>537422699The easier solution is to get rid of the revolutionaries and let the "moderate" democrats exist without any voting rightsMost people shouldn't be able to vote anyway
>>537421212>demokikesHow can miggers use a word like this after so much blatant jew worship with the only opposition coming from some democrats?
>>537423605Most of MAGA is either ambivalent to Israel or hates them
>>537419789Commie globalist scum spent infinite money on swamping the US with alien hordes.
>>537423246I wouldn't take that chance.Good chance you get locked up with D.C.s finest nigger rapists.
>>537421184I'll fuck your ass and kill you for free
>>537423574republiniggers sure don't, the lowest of the low IQ.
>>537421432>Talk about complicating things You're the one who turned girls into boys and vice versa
Ehhhhh just blame antifa *waves hand in annoyance*
>>537421992>I cut off my dickYou belong in a psychward
>>537422434How many kids have you raped today? Just wondering.
>>537424087>i suck the dick of an orange pedophile who hates me and claim everyone else has TDSeven the orange coward uses gender affirming care, seek help.
>>537424208sounds like less than any republinigger. seek help.
>>537421116Bro no matter how hard you ride the orange nigger's dick you will never be American
>>537419789>DC's not-so-reflecting pool is full of algae after $34 million renovation>The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool reopened to the public at the end of August, after an almost two-year renovation costing $34 million. After being recently filled back up with water, it is now full of algae. Ironically, the new pool was intended to "improve the reflectivity of the water" with tinted concrete. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/photo/dcs-not-so-reflecting-pool-full-algae-after-34-million-flna1b6120290Oh wait, that's from 2012 when Obama spent twice as much to renovate the Reflecting Pool and also had algae issues after reopening.
>>537423119No, you are poor, faggot...better sell your butthole
>>537421116>people are jumping into the water and somehow ripping paint off a flat surfaceI dont care if this is bait, this is the most retarded thing to say
>>537419789
>>537424228Wtf are you on about?>Oh yeah, mental illnessYou are useless to everyone and all of civilization
>>537421116fpbp, look at all the troons in the replies LOL
>>537419789what is embarrasing is that trump failed to take advantage of this pool.All he had to do was get people dumping algae arrested, he should have known it was going to happen and could have easily prepared for it. it would have been an absolute slap in the dems face
>>537424411Yeah and obummer didn't have antifa terrorists attacking the pool with katanas by the dozen!
>>537421116>>537421212Miggers are losing their goddamn minds. They coped too hard and too fast.
>>537424815>people dumping algaeThat never happened, you are just retarded and gullible.
>>537422728It's emblematic of Trump's corruption and incompetence. And also funny. Kinda like pottery.
>>537425083Yeah algae is fucking everywhere
>>537423047Would
>>537424815But I keep seeing multiple posts that antifa terrorists have been arrested and admitted their crimes and are gonna make a deal in exchange for admitting Obama was directly behind it all?!What do you want, LIEbrul demonrat "eViDeNsE"?!??!
>>537425083>>537425131It's on video LIEbrul trannyLook it up!
>>537424208Kek, my argument was so powerful that it seared into your smol smooth brain and is causing narcissistic collapse. Love it. >>537424411The difference is that Obama didn’t make it a signature project. He didn’t blame a previous President, brag that he will make it better (in press conferences or online), or award a no-bid contract to his pool boy. Trump didn’t all those things. Also, Obama’s project wasn’t a paint job. It was a total rebuild. The walls, bottom, plumbing, etc. so of course it would cost more than Trump’s paint job. >>537424815> All he had to do was get people dumping algae arrested, he should have known it was going to happen and could have easily prepared for it. it would have been an absolute slap in the dems faceHe would have had to false flag it because nobody dumped algae into it. It happened because of the paint job heated the water. Algae spores are in all fresh water and even the air.
>>537424420>>537424528lol, weak republinigger cope.>>537425157Fred L. "Bubba" Copeland, a republinigger mayor and preacher, very dead now though, shot himself in the head when he got outed for being a typical closeted republinigger.
>>537422728Because Trump made it his pet project and blew a shitload of money on something that failed, all while blaming Obama. If this was done quietly, normally, and without cronyism, nobody would give a shit. But when you blame other Presidents, discuss it at WH press conferences, post about it online repeatedly, and give a no-bid contract (with massive cost overruns) to your pool boy then of course it will be a news item.
>>537419789One would assume a simple phone call from the white House from the POTUS saying "Nigger you done fucked up, fix this shit" would suffice, but "LOL, Trump administration".
>>537419789Who wasted money? The loser shits still acting out their daddy issues. We get it, you had shitty parents and a shitty childhood, sucks to be you I guess.
>>537425459Yes, that justfies being a loser shit, I guess. I gather your life is shit, does vandalism improve it?
>>537425828>The loser shits still acting out their daddy issues. We get it, you had shitty parents and a shitty childhood, sucks to be you I guess.Your post is so irrelevant that I haven’t a clue which people you’re talking about. But either way, it is pure projection and I recommend you bring this up at your next psych appointment. You will be in my prayers
>>537425283>Muh, republinigger Really, that's all your tranny brain can delve out?>No surprise though
>>537423377That's not an answer
>>537419789A Trump donor got taxpayer money, and that's what really matters. Corruption is the point.
>>537425459Obama was a stuffed suit, if he'd done the same project it'd have fucked up as bad, it just would have been covered differently by the media.Trump is a fucking clown, but don't pretend that the media would not be fellatiing Choco Jesus in a similar circumstance.
>>537425828>>537425879Miggers literally have sub 65 IQs.
>>537426146>if he'd done the same project it'd have fucked up as bad, it just would have been covered differently by the mediaYeah, they would have acted like it was treason and and demanded investigations into the no-bid contract and arrests for those responsible.Or did you forget them trying to turn him wearing a tan suit or asking for dijon mustard into big controversies?Or when they claimed he was gonna round up all the conservatives in fema concentration camps?Or have Obamacare death panels that would sentence all the sick and elderly to execution?
>>537425097>>537425459I mean it really isnt, the pool has been an embarrassment for multiple presidents including Obama, this hyperfocus on trivial bullshit is a media creation. Trump just cant help but take the bait.Embarrassing is having 10 activist judges chimp out every time the president wants a bathroom remodeled. The 'right' never pulled that BS. Its so exhaustingly performative.
>>537426146Obama did do the same project and he did fuck it up. Was supposed to clean it and fix the leaks, but it leaked more after. It wasnt even news. Because its just a fucking pool.
>>537426146>>537426588Also keep in mind there's literally people trying to blame Obama for this NOW, both for the algae being the problem it has always been before and after him and claiming that he personally gave orders to the "arrested antifa agents" that people keep claiming exist without any evidence.But sure they totally would have been unfairly generous and praising of him if he claimed the pool was shit because of bush, hyped it up as some huge fix with AI comparisons, and then it all went to shit.
America simply lacks the technology and expertise to fix a pool.
>>537426146>Obama was a stuffed suit, if he'd done the same project it'd have fucked up as badAre aren’t comprehending what I posted. Obama wouldn’t have gotten personally involved in the project. Obama wouldn’t have broken to law to award a no-bid contract to someone connected to him. Obama wouldn’t have followed the law and the NPS would have put it out for bid and evaluated the Biden based on price and technical competence.I say this as someone that voted against Obama every time I could and rarely had a kind word to say about him during his presidency.
>>537426796>Embarrassing is having 10 activist judges chimp out every time the president wants a bathroom remodeled.That never happened, you liar.
>>537426588>Obamas only controversy was a tan suit and mustard!You're so broken by propaganda. Thats the first president to intentionally target a US citizen with a drone strike without a trial that you are talking about.
>>537427031Because its a hyperbolic hypothetical example, which you would understand if you didnt have a subhuman IQ.
>>537426992>Obama wouldn’t have broken to law to award a no-bid contract to someone connected to him. Obama wouldn’t have followed the law and the NPS would have put it out for bid and evaluated the Biden based on price and technical competence.Solyndra.
>>537426796It's a big stagnant shallow pool built on land that was traditionally swamp and decades ago it was switched to water from the river to reduce the burden on municipal drinking water.Of course there's always gonna be algae issues. You know algae can be carried by water in the air and shit right? Like you can get it on your house siding that people often mistake for moss or lichen. Even if you 100% stopped all leaks and made sure the water was 100% sterile you'd still probably get algae eventually.MAYBE Trump's dark lining made it worse but it doesn't really matter besides as a "gotcha" for libs because he and his followers hyped it up as such a genius success own on obama and Biden.It'd probably only be worth a week or two of mockery if coping trumptards weren't elevating it with conspiracies about Obama-directed antifa terrorism backed by fake claims of non-existent videos and arrests.
>>537427127Oh, so you’re equating demolishing 1/3rd of the White House and adding a wing to the White House that is larger than the White House itself with remodeling a bathroom? Kys, you disingenuous faggot.
>>537419789Someone tell Don I'll fix it for 5 million.
>>537421992Make sure to check yourself in first.
>>537427246>It'd probably only be worth a week or two of mockery if coping trumptards weren't elevating it with conspiracies about Obama-directed antifa terrorism backed by fake claims of non-existent videos and arrests.The overwhelming majority of new thread posting is making fun of Trump, not defending the stupid fucking pool. Its a big stagnant pool, of course it gets algae, of course it leaks, of course concrete is notoriously hard to coat. I dont give a fuck. I didnt give a fuck when the pool sucked for Obama. This is manufactured outrage from blue media.
>>537427195>SolyndraA bad investment but all the investigations showed no impropriety by the Obama Administration. The investment went bad because Chinese solar panels flooded the U.S. market. How is that even remotely comparable to this reflecting pool clusterfuck?
>>537427032So they didn't make a big deal out of the tan suit?They never called a simple fist bump a "secret terrorist fist jab" because they were sooooo overly fair and gentle with Obama?And it was mainly liberals that complained about Obama continuing our middle east misadventures and drone strikes at the time.I only saw republicans start to bring up Obama Middle East drone strikes regularly after he was gone to whatabout deflect from trump increasing drone strikes. Not like they needed to, they all fell in line and cheered for war in iran after circle jerking about "no new wars, kamala will get us into war!"
>>537427272>I made an argument that you didn't make, I win now!Subhuman IQ. The state dept got sued just for the fucking MMA event. There are suits and injunctions being tossed around for every little fucking thing. And I do think the Federal government has the right to remodel Federal buildings, by the way.
lmfao
>>537427424>We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong!Half a billion dollars was handed over to a major Obama donor/fundraiser's company despite internal warnings that the company was on the brink of failure, which promptly filed bankruptcy. Its a clear case of cronyism, which you are asserting in the no-bid pool project (which is pennies in comparison).Pure hypocrisy from you bud.
>>537427385There have been multiple all caps threads pushing the "antifa sabotage" narrative.I agree some of it is probably trolling or engagement farming but there are dozens of trumptards in these threads agreeing with that shit.Do you really believe ALL those posters are actually libs and only the anons pushing "who cares, STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS!" are actual magas?
>>537427603>Obvious evidence of antifa terrorists blatantly using specialized pool-sythes to cut up the lining
>>537427385>This is manufactured outrage from blue media.That’s right, nothing to see here!
>>537427907They bit their tongues when he pardoned israeli medicare and immigration scammers.He could pardon maxwell(and probably will eventually) and they'll still support him.
>>537427548>Subhuman IQIronic coming from a migger that supported getting to a war with Iran, turning the the White House into a late Roman Empire-cum-Idiocracy event center, and thinks that the Federal government doesn’t have to follow its own laws. Don’t breed. We already have enough low IQ people in this world without you adding to it.
>>537427907Every government in every country in tje entire world has hundreds to thousands of these exact parasites attached to it. It sucks, but it isnt an argument to vote for Democrats.
>>537427792How is it hypocrisy? I’ve never supported Obama or green energy.
>>537428035Making up histrionic fantasies about anyone who disagrees with you on the internet definitely makes you look more sane and intelligent
>>537428069>It sucks, but it isnt an argument to vote for Democrats.Not a single post in this thread is advocating voting for Dems. It’s called holding your leaders accountable.
>>537428156>you hold your leaders accountable by unconditionally voting for them
>>537428088You defended Obama right here>>537426992Despite your disclaimer, there are multiple examples of Obama doing the things that he "totally wouldn't do." Like saying giving 14mil to your donor buddy is corrupt, but giving 535mil to your donor buddy... isnt. Because reasons. Thats defending Obama.
>>537427246>MAYBE Trump's dark lining made it worsethere is no debate here, it did make it worse, and then to "solve the problem" they nuked the water with a paint solvent.>>537427385or, it's because the orange pedo and republicommies are known to be low IQ niggers and this is the left finally making fun of them as they should, because republicunts deserve it. and to be honest, if you really want to talk about "the blue media" i think you and i should have a very frank discussion about the cuckservate MSM, do you not recall this? https://youtu.be/ksb3KD6DfSI
>what do you mean you can't just paint it shut
>>537428156You're holding Trump accountable by spending your whole day whining on 4chan about how his pool turned green?
>>537419789Omens are real things. As to what or who you want to attribute them to is irrelevant, but this is a sign that the empire is dying if ever there was one.
>>537428452>his poolnope>You're holding Trump accountablenope, we are laughing at republicunts for being this retarded, i am betting the reason you're not laughing is you're butthurt because you're a red hatting communist who voted for him.by the way, cuckservative MSM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksb3KD6DfSI

>>537428452>your whole dayMaybe for you, wage cuck.
>>537428880Yeah we should, when's Trump going to start deporting people?
>>537428799Yeah local media affiliates share talking points, its gay but its not new or unique to conservatives. Technically local news is definitionally NOT mainstream media, but when they consolidate like this you can make the argument they are. Blue media is still like 5x the size of red media, including a 9:1 or greater advantage in entertainment media.
>>537428931>What’s your point, that Trump should be allowed to do it because I think Obama did it?The point is that you said Obama wouldnt do it, when he demonstrably has.
>Blue Water
>>537427907man's got aura
I've never seen a pool with sealant that peels after a fucking weekWhat the fuck did they actually put on it? House paint?
>>537429080that is rightwing media, doing the very thing you're accusing the left of doing you mindless republinigger zombie.
>>537429445Really not uncommon for concrete sealant, its notoriously failure prone. Most pools you see that are for swimming have a liner, and most pools that are like this like public installations like fountains are just assumed at construction to have some leakage.
artful bait8/10

>>537419789Drain the swamp
>>537429888your failed point is "left wingers do this thing, and on a huge scale" and you ignore that the opposite is true, that it's actually republicommies and they do it on a much larger scale. twatter, turd social, fagbook, and a whole host of republifags owned news stations and media stations, radio stations, etc.
