KKKaroline is back? I missed her kkkraziness.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Slaps Panama papers down on the table Karoline, do you really want to have a conversation about fraud?

Laken Riley's murder? You only care about it because you used her death to excuse literal concentration camps in the US. On average, 14 more women have died every day in the US since then, the vast majority of them are murdered by US citizens, and you will never know their names. Let's talk about them, and what we can do to protect women in the US.

I'll agree that Trump's mental decline was not nearly as bad as Biden's, but Biden had more to lose than trump ever had in the first place.

It should be common knowledge, at this point, that every single news source in the USA is owned by like 3 Billionaires. Its not a new network anymore, its a propaganda agency.

Also: Bidens mental health decline

Something something about a burned down 80 year old black pit calling a kettle black and such

[–] Pyro@pawb.social 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That and he is not in charge anymore so at most should be a B story of "here is what's happening to someone who used to be a thing"

Oh no, an old guy in retirement is getting closer to the farm. Hope he enjoys what he has left, wait! That was Biden! Time to riot and focus on him!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 hours ago

Nope

My IP changes daily and this crap happens on the weirdest moments, sometimes in the middle of a session.

It's not a daily occurrence, of course, but it has happened enough by now to make a pattern visible, and almost always persona is involved

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 22 points 19 hours ago

I mean, even with the pool, we're laughing at it, but what we're actually talking about is the corrupt bullshit that lead to here. People were already grumpy about the way it was being renovated and who was renovating it before it turned green. It's just kinda funny that even after pulling that bullshit, the outcome was terrible. But the government corruption is the actually story.

Why would anyone need to talk about Biden's mental health? He's not President and he wasn't running for President.

[–] starik@lemmy.today 5 points 7 hours ago

They’re saying there was insufficient coverage of Biden’s mental decline while he was president. Which is ridiculous, because it got a ton of attention - definitely more than the reflecting pool.

On a different topic, does Brilyn Hollyhand have any organic audience?

My suggestion would be to rename it to Trump-Epstein pool.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 15 points 23 hours ago

Rename everything to the "Trump-Epstein thing"

[–] joyjoy@piefed.social 7 points 21 hours ago

The green water got me haha

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 63 points 1 day ago (2 children)

the national park service used arra funds and actually rebuilt the whole thing during the obama administration. and when they had an algae problem, shortly after it being filled back up... they fixed that for a measly $100 thousand to drain and clean it all, and then increased the ozone used in the filtering system to control the algae.

it should cost less than $150 thousand to completely drain and clean it today. note there's no "millions" here.. not even a single "million". just one hundred and fifty thousand. anything more than that is taxpayer money being stuffed in to someone's pocket.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Maybe more than 150k since inflation... But yeah somewhere in that order.

Also, what you described takes actual engineering and planning. Conservatives don't do that.

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

$150 thousand is already a little higher than what the inflation calculator site gave me for an adjusted, current value of that original amount.

as far as the shit they added, they can just scoop that up and put it in someone's big macs. nobody would know the difference anyway.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 hours ago

Oh alright, didn't know you adjusted for inflation

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

so is that 150 large all labor or is a lot of that supplies? like can you just squeegee it off and put it in a dumpster? or i guess, could you when it had appropriate lining?

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll say it again, this is a classic distraction to flood the zone.

By focusing on the mostly harmless gaff of the reflecting pool, were not talking about Trump being a pedophile, or the surrender to Iran, or the fucker economy and insider trading.

Making posts like these is exactly want Trump wants you to do.

[–] Erusset@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly if trump had managed to fix the pool correctly and for an appropriate amount of money that should be even bigger news than this current distraction.

Imagine how nuts we would all go if he actually become competent all of a sudden.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 hours ago

Right, but it's easier to just break things than to build

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 18 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Was too lazy to make the water for this distraction iceberg green:

iceberg meme template, words top to bottom: Reflecting pool is green, going to war to pay Iran, East wing Hole in the Ground, Unreleased Epstein Files, Cuba Blockade and Caribbean Boat Strikes, Crypto Scam Self-dealings, Threats to Canada Greenland etc, Destroyed Healthcare and Public Services

[–] themoken@startrek.website 27 points 1 day ago

Green pool Trump is blathering about vs. a manufactured immigrant crisis, the mental decline of someone that is no longer in office, or a murder that happened two years ago...

Hmm, weird.

[–] dondelelcaro@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

The pool is just memetastic and simple to explain. Classic clickbait fodder. It also has direct links to an area of Trump's supposed expertise.

The other more important things like the Epstein files, oligarchs, genocide, graft, corruption, fascism, inflation, affordability, and idiotic wars of aggression are still getting coverage and will still get coverage after this. They're just not as easily condensed up a meme.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago


i am deranged

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

It’s hilarious that those are the things they chose to contrast the algae story.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Biden's mental health? okay,

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah they just drop that casually in there in a list of things that we are being heartless for not thinking about. Because the right has been so on top of compassion for Biden’s health.

Can anyone help fill in the other lyrics?

Look at my pool. My pool is amazing.

Ohh that's nasty.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago

It's an old meme... But it checks out
