I've been reading they'd need to dump over 1000 jugs to accomplish their goal.

Re: Everything Trump Touches Dies
I'm surprised the don't blame the algae on the ducks. They brought it in from some algae infested shithole. I mention ducks because ABC news had ducks in their video of the pool last night. It also showed NPS workers skimming scum and dumping peroxide in the water.Vrede too wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2026 7:11 pmThe Reflecting Pool is a metaphor for the DonOLD admin*.

Re: Everything Trump Touches Dies
One excuse is that the algae was leftover in the pipes and will soon clear. If so, only the shoddiest of no-bid conies would have failed to account for that by flushing and sterilizing the pipes before filling the pool.neoplacebo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2026 9:39 amI'm surprised the don't blame the algae on the ducks.

Everyone knows that ducks are goddamn anti-gun libuls who never wipe their feet before jumping in a pool.
Only slightly more seriously, there are already MAGA conspiracy theorists suggesting online that "someone" must have sabotaged the pool in order to embarrass Moron Don.

Re: Everything Trump Touches Dies
Yeah, I'd read about the "it was in the pipes" thing. But like you noted, it would not have been hard to flush the things out with chlorine like swimming pools use. But, hell, the no bid contractor saved money and government workers are working it.Vrede too wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2026 10:01 amOne excuse is that the algae was leftover in the pipes and will soon clear.

I know what you mean about those fucking ducks; I once watched Daffy Duck get his entire bill shot. Pretty sure Elmer did it.

Re: Everything Trump Touches Dies
Weaponized hunger, it's the MAGA xtian way:
The USDA says 700,000 were removed from SNAP. Here's what counts as fraud.
The Trump administration has been cracking down on alleged food stamp benefit fraud. But how common is it, really?

Re: Everything Trump Touches Dies
I saw an unconfirmed source yesterday a truck was seen throwing algae in the pools. However, there was another piece this morning that algae has been an ongoing issue in the reflecting pools. That seems more reasonable.neoplacebo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2026 2:13 pmYeah, I'd read about the "it was in the pipes" thing.

Re: Everything Trump Touches Dies
Sure, maybe somebody would try to mess the pool by tossing in algae, but it's not fresh water going in there in the first place. Even if there was algae in the pipes (almost guaranteed) and it had been cleaned, they're pumping in river water into a shallow pool into a perfect algae environment. If anybody did want to dump some in, they'd probably have to dump it on top of the stuff growing there already.supesalemgr2 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2026 2:38 pm

Ever wonder why they didn't switch it to city water on a recirculation pump?

Re: Everything Trump Touches Dies
I'd be curious to know who that "unconfirmed source" is.....a reputable media outlet or some outfit like DailyCaller or WingnutDaily or Liarbart or Newmax or OAN or RSBN or Fox. And I wonder how this algae was hauled in a truck. Was it just gathered up from a pond and thrown into the truck or was it in buckets with turds mixdd in?supesalemgr2 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2026 2:38 pmI saw an unconfirmed source yesterday a truck was seen throwing algae in the pools.

If only someone had said something when this project was announced. Oh wait . . . I guess we now know why the Obama and Biden estimates were much higher than Moron Don's crony scheme to do it on the cheap.
