One of my sons works in wastewater management. One of their sayings is "The solution to pollution is filtration and dilution". I think it needs a good underground filtration & fresh water exchange system and a couple of large floating aeration fountains. I know those last would probably disrupt the mirroring of the two monuments but Scrotus has fucked it up so royally that at this point major rehab is needed.

His edict that those arrested for damaging the pool will have the full force of the law thrown at them is both scary and ludicrous.

The federal government is fabricating accusations out of thin air simply to protect one man from his own embarrassing failure. There is no sabotage.

And everyone knows exactly who is responsible for damaging the pool and it ain't some random tourist fishing out a piece of American Flag Blue plastic.

But nobody in the media or Republican Party will say it out loud.

I think Donald Trump knows sabotage when he sees it.

Algaes very good at removing CO2 from the atmosphere. A pool of that size, with the algae bloom of that size, will actually be doing a small amount of good. More than several trees actually. So yay for an accidental win for the environment

I agree about the massive filter/continual water replacement. But actually part of the problem is the wanting to keep a very large body of water in essentially a sterile/dead condition. Any large or small body of water (even a puddle in the desert an hour after rain) is teeming with life. Left to nature it reaches a state of balance (larger creatures eat the phytoplankton/algae and keep it in check, other creatures eat them). But because the ideal aesthetic is apparently "death" they are locked into a constant battle with life that they are always going to lose. It reminds me a bit of the desire to create a "perfect" monoculture lawn in places like Utah. Technically more achievable but so much effort and why?

Obviously Trump is a particularly egregious example of the impulse to force his own desires upon reality. But the Reflecting Pool feels like a much wider example of hubris than just him.

Top down government. Dear leader says something, the minions deliver.

I hope sandwich throwing guy's lawyer is advertising on a big billboard nearby.

Quite frankly I'm surprised he hasn't replaced the Lincoln memorial statue with one of himself.

There are National Guard patrolling the Deflecting Pool area. Yet Trump claims extensive sabotage by radical left lunatics under their very noses?

Witchcraft ?

My youngest is in waste water management. If I ask him he doesn't stop laughing for long enough to get a sensible answer.

Water deployment for them.

I would have thought the Marines would be better for that. Or even the Kamikaze dolphins.

Not the seals though. They are too busy in South America taking out Don Jrs drug competition.

ow.
Ow.
OW!

(we need a new thread)

Thread title?
Will Trump's Deflecting Pool be blue or green on 4th July?

Vandalism confession: have a lovely old photo of my then 3 yr old son sitting on the little wall surrounding the pool with a huge lichen-y tree branch across his lap wh he suddenly hurled into the water. Couldn't reach it to remove it so had to beat a hasty retreat

Maybe we were responsible for introducing some alien species?

"Trump's green reflecting pool is giving us the blues"?

'Tisn't giving me the blues! It is making me chortle happily.

(I mean, sorry for yet another thing that doesn't belong to him and which has monumentally fucked up, but I find it funny even so.) (Play on "monumentally" was totally deliberate.)

Green is the new blue?

I Guess He's Why We Call it the [American Flag] Blues...

There is a whole social media craze for getting songs with "blues" in the title trending with Trump

I guess that's why they call it the blues

Maybe Trump can change the US flag to Red White and Green so that it matches the Deflecting Pool

Lol
I would pit filters in and recirculation. The lot! But, well.... this is Trump, so we have to arrest some "vandals"

Have you seen Vance in this talk?

I am losing contact with the old reality, because bar his defence of Trump's threats, (which is pathetic) I think he gave a good speech. And that is surely not possible?! It is scary how quickly I am forgetting what normal used to be, back on the days fucking was not in the Presidential vocabulary! And painting pools did not cost 10 million! Can they use pool tiles in a dark colour? Instead of paint? I always thought that tiles were longer lasting.

Urgh, I am no fan of Starmer but to hear Trump claiming he’s been forced to step down because people in the UK didn’t like that he refused to join in with Operation Epic Cock-Up makes me 🤬🤮

Anti-vandal snapping turtles, that's the answer.

@CaveMum I had not heard of him saying that! I knew he would start with shit like this soon enough....

Here, this is how it is done, for Trump. A proper reflecting pool of a random back garden pond, in Wales, UK.
We are too busy admiring it to join him for war. Sorry...

In his TS Trump only mentioned immigration and North Sea oil.

Russia liked his TS

Musk had been calling for his resignation for ages
