Everything Trump Touches Dies

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Wow, with as much noise as he made about this......

They have workers manually dumping gallon jugs of peroxide to kill the algae

https://thehill.com/homenews/administra ... ting-pool/

I've been reading they'd need to dump over 1000 jugs to accomplish their goal.
They obviously need to add some Ivermectin.

It's not "governmental" to incompetence. The government departments who should know about such things weren't consulted. There was no bidding process. It was all Tru*p incompetence and arrogance pure and simple.
It never fails to amaze me how cultists will tie themselves in knots in efforts to justify the shit trump does. And "government incompetence" has been the go to thing for Republicans since Reagan started the myth that government is the problem.
The Reflecting Pool is a metaphor for the DonOLD admin*. Can we get our money back? On the Pool, too. :wave:
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.

No worries, the hydrogen peroxide will kill the ducks.

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.

Everyone knows that ducks are goddamn anti-gun libuls who never wipe their feet before jumping in a pool. :crazy:

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. :roll: From your lips . . .

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.

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

No way in hell "someone" didn't do this. It's the easiest way to explain it while ignoring the serial incompetence of trump and his cult.

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.

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.

And the dark color of the bottom will help heat it up nicely. Algae loves that!

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

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?

I saw it on the FNC web site. As I commented there was no source given, hence how I posted as unconfirmed.

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.
