I can't wait till a real adult gets in there and unfucks everything this pedophile fucked.

If he hasn't already fucked it into submission.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 69 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

This may not be reversible, some things he does especially involving painting granite, like the OEOB proposal, are not really fixable. So this thing is now coated forever unless it's torn up and replaced, and the coating will break down within years I'm sure.

The damage he’s done in a year is likely not going to be fixed in our lifetimes with the rate that we make progress in this country.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

“The rate at which we make progress”

See: Backwards :/

At the very least, this isn't an old/historic pool, the old one was ripped up entirely in 2010 and remade with new concrete.

So if he ruins it, it'll cost a bit to fix but it's not ruining a historical artifact.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

2010 you say, so this is yet another thing that was done during Obama that trump has to mess with.

Just grind the surface like any other concrete job.

Pre-Trump US is over. You can’t undo the damage he’s caused and go back to how it has been.

If there are fair elections and the Dems take the House and Senate investigations will begin and his crony’s will close ranks because they are just as culpable. Dems have no interest in a presidential candidate who is just going to ignore the crimes of the past administration like Obama or a wish to return to norms like Biden.

The left will want these people prosecuted and jailed when we return to power. The right will do whatever it takes to stay in power to prevent this from happening. The oligarchs will do anything to preserve their grasp on both parties so they don’t become targets.

No matter how it plays out the US will be a turbulent place for at least a decade after the 2028 election.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Meanwhile the right owns the supreme court and a lot of lower court judges, so good luck with that prosecution. It will drag out for years and result in nothing.

The lasting side effect is going to be the rest of the world continuing to think of the US as a joke and all the trade relations they are building now. When the US settles back down they will never again weild the power they once had.

It’s over a year into Trump’s term and it’s still crickets from the leftists so I’m voting democrat in the midterms so we can at least slow down the damage he’s doing.

You can't un fuck a child. Once child rape is done it's done and I can't believe I just said this about a sitting president in the United States

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Undoing this damage will require the US to take a long hard look at itself and I don't think there is the impetus to do that.

Why would, for example Europe, want to get back in bed with the US as long as the GOP who caused all of the problems still exist? We could have 8 years of stability and then some other insane republican gets in and it's back to square one again. The better option is to just label the US's politically unstable, and not have anything to do with them anymore.

If you want the rest of the world to trust you again you're going to have to put these idiots on trial, give them serious prison sentences, and then change the stupid constitution so that convicted criminals are ineligible for office and the president isn't God emperor, they have some limits on power. Also having the president elect court justices is obviously stupid as well, fix that.

Of course none of this will happen.

sweet summer child… nobody is coming to save you

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not just for me, my friend.. this affects the entire world. This piece of shit is a danger to the entire world, geopolitically and environmentally.

I'm too European to understand, I get that it's a Trumpism but what has he done this time

[–] tburkhol@slrpnk.net 103 points 2 weeks ago (10 children)

This is the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, a treasured landmark seen in many iconic images and films. The mad king had it drained so that the bottom could be painted blue, adding an over-saturated "ocean" color.

So we are not talking how to dethrone a pedophile loser put in power by racist trash manipulated by oligarchs.

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

To distract from his child rape in the Epstein files and enrich his fellow oligarchs at the public’s expense.

It does get refurbished every so often. That's his excuse for making it tacky, the way he prefers things.

Wait? What? I haven’t seen this in the news. It’s very stupid.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was a parking lot, and was very confused.

Just so you know, that's not concrete they are painting, it's slabs of granite.

Fucking fools.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's probably not even waterproof paint

That's the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Which apparently benefits from having a dark bottom to aid in the mirror effect, you know, to reflect. The blue bottom is going to reduce the quality of the reflection.

These are just never ending insults to injury.

The work was done by Atlantic Industrial Coatings from New Canton Virginia. Their website: https://vaspray.com/aic/

According to their website they have experience with liners, but there's no mention of using paint. My guess is that they placed an expensive liner in a pool on one of Trump's properties, but Trump doesn't want to pay that bill, so to compensate them, AIC got to do this cheap ass botch job for an inflated price for the us government.

With paint instead of a liner, they will have had to waterproof all the joints between the slabs as best as they could. That waterproofing will have become damaged when Trump's motorcade drove over it.

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think they have any experience I'm not even sure they have workers, no experience with that company, but the general scam is to get a dude with a contractor license to be the face and "subcontract" down to a bunch of people desperate enough to ignore the fact basically every labor law is being violated along with some other ones. I can guarantee anything removed during the construction of any of this is not going to be disposed of properly, it's just going to go where it's some one else's problem.

Holy shit that looks bad... They'll probably claim it's all uneven on purpose to look more like the ocean or something.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

OMG that's the Lincoln memorial people. Is nothing sacred?

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

On the grass, right about the spot where there's an empty square on the left hand side, is where my wife and I had our first kiss. I bet I'm going to hate what this becomes whenever I get the chance to go back and visit.

America's new colors are red, white and Prussian blue.

I feel pretty surprised how much is still standing in Washington.

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago

I’m surprised it’s not golden?

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Don't worry about his buddy. He's gonna screw his buddy out of the contract. There will be a lawsuit after it's all done.

Can't wait to see the advanced AI cleaning robots. Roombas on a float set to mop mode.
