Hehehehe the video of him pumping his pool guys and then now claiming he doesn't know them is hilarious.
Watch them not get paid and this whole fiasco ends with yet another lawsuit, just like I said.

If anyone wrote a story about an awful fascist president who left behind a legacy of desecrated American landmarks, we'd be accused of a lack of subtlety. It's ridiculously on the nose.

Reagan was so awful no one wanted to name anything for him so the republican pre-MAGAts formed a kind of Daughters of the Confederacy movement to astro-turf naming shit Reagan this and Regan that. Pretty much every one is either their work or knock-on MAGAtry.
I expect nothing less from the shameless boot lickers of a demented rapist war criminal.

There was a season of '24' where the President was the baddie and that guy was a better president than Trump.
Lex Luthor was a better President.

Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho was (will be?) a better president.

New York writer Fran Leibowitz put it this way.
"I ride the subway almost every day, and I've never seen anyone on the subway who wouldn't be a better president. The baby in a stroller? Better president. Homeless schizophrenic? Also a better president."

I think Gregory Itzen was nommed for an Emmy for that role.
What's even more fucked up is he was "convicted" but served out his "sentence" on a palatial ranch somewhere in pure comfort until his batty wife, whom he never gave a shit about, stabs him in the neck for being a criminal traitor

If you go back to the Nixon pardon you'll see that even hard-core Nixon haters like Hunter Thompson were not seething over the President dodging jail.
The feeling was that humiliation was punishment enough.
Not this time.

Permanently ruined?
You know it's sinking into the potemic right? Like, in the past 100 years it's been problematic for the surface it's built on and the materials used.
Yes it's iconic.
Yes this is stupid.
It's not permanent.

It will also cost at least as much if not double to remove it. That's more of our tax money wasted.
neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works · 25 pts · 100d
It'll get paid because the US government pays its bills (at least they did before now).
Trump's fine paying for things when it's not his money.
And at this point, he's just burning through all of our money, like it's his money.

the regime is so inept, they can't take on a no risk landscaping project without making a mess… and Americans thought "these are who I want in charge of my whole country" TWICE

If it's any small consolation, a guy at work who always wore his MAGA hat finally stopped lately. I won't forget he voted for the man three times but at least even some of his most diehard supporters are starting to abandon him. It still won't make a difference now though, he's gonna try to make himself dictator to avoid any responsibility for his crimes eventually.
Jhex@lemmy.world · 36 pts · 100d
It makes no difference, that colleague will vote for Vance or Rubio or a putrid garbage bag left to rot in the sun as long as it hurts the people they hate... which is everyone that has made better life decision than themselves
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 100d
No doubt about that. Republicans will always be voted in, their propaganda game is strong and their supporters' minds are too weak to think twice about them.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca · 21 pts · 100d
No change in them though, he'll vote for Trump's successor or even Trump again if the Democrats run a candidate.
As they say.

If they were not inept, they would embezzle without it being so completely obvious

So inept that they don't understand that the Reflecting Pool isn't a fucking swimming pool, it's a mirror and painting it ruins the effect.

Now just imagine a regime that isn't so inept. That's how close we are to our democracy slipping away. That's why people should really vote no matter who against the class system, we can't afford another billionaire class stooge.

Your democracy already slipped away, stop hanging on to the left over scraps
WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY too late for that, there is literally no name or party in the ballot that is not exclusively representative of the class system... how Americans have not taken it to the street is just a glaring foghorn declaring the USA is over

Because they're embezzling money. . . .

I don't remember it in the news at the time, but the reflecting pool had a major rebuild relatively recently, in 2010-2012. In-progress photo.
That is, it was extensively rebuilt during the Obama administration.
And now I wonder if that has something to do with the president's obsession. Painting over and taking credit for his predecessor's work. Seems too on-the-nose, really.

It wasn't supposed to get done right, or get done at all. He doesn't care if it sits there, a broken mess in the middle of DC. He's a slumlord, he's doesn't even see that sort of stuff.
It was all just a standard kickback scheme. He gets his "pool guy" from Maralago to take the contract, keep a couple of mill for himself for his trouble, and the rest goes to Trump. The pool l guy will do some basic work, maybe even get it operating, but it will be shoddy work, with inferior products, every corner cut hard, no permits, no inspections, a couple of bribes, etc. He'll walk away with a bunch of money, and a nefarious secret he shares with the President, that he can call on when he needs it. .

Yeah, Citizens are going to have to get used to screaming "SHUT THE FUCK UP" at MAGAs. We don't owe them anything, no respect, no listening to what they want, etc. They are corrupt, treasonous pedophiles, and they have no say in ANYTHING that happens in America in the future. We have a civic responsibility to be as hostile toward them as possible for the rest of their lives.
