The vandalism is coming from inside the White Supremacist House.

Need to find those vandals that drained it, defaced the surface, and then tried to refill it to cover up their crime. That’s who should be held to account.

And picked a paint colour that promotes algae growth

What kind of approach would you, Guy Fawkes, advocate?

GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 74d (2 replies)

One that if carried out is final.

Will there be fireworks?

It’s the 250th anniversary. There will likely be some booms. Need to do our best for another 250. 😁

We are all trying to find the guy who did this

The moment it turned green there were dumbasses there saying how it was sabotage. These people don't live in the real world anymore.

There used to be a thing called objective reality. Reagan killed it.

Look up the Fairness Doctrine. When they were first setting up the FCC there was bipartisan agreement to do things to make sure that broadcasters didn't have a monopoly on news in any town. they had a lot of restrictions placed on them, including how many stations one entity could own and how many editorials they could transmit.

First thing Reagan did was start 'deregulating' to make sure the press would never be able to do what they did in Watergate.

Reagan had dementia, too.

His wife cared enough about his legacy to keep good handlers around him.

I'm guessing Melania is at the point where she hides the TV remote and laughs while he has a fit trying to find it.

Kirp123@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 75d (5 replies)

You think Melania can even stand to be in the same room with him when not on camera?

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 75d (2 replies)

Who the fuck cares what she can stand or not, she is every bit as bad as Donald.
This idea that she maybe is better is just an urban legend.

Wearing the “I really don’t care, do u?” jacket when going to visit a migrant child destination center tells you all you need to know about her.

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 74d

Exactly, there is no situation where that message is proper to wear by a "first lady".

DagwoodIII@piefed.social · 2 pts · 75d

I know she hates him. Pretty much every public interaction they have screams it. At this point I think she's so bitter that just leaving wouldn't be enough, she's handing in to torture him.

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 72d

She's hired help. It's part of the job.

Uranus_Hz@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 75d (2 replies)

We know. The vandal is in the Oval Office

Zier@fedia.io · 14 pts · 74d

And we know that because we saw him tear down half of the house. And just last week there was a fight on the law with a very loud party.

Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool. It hasn’t looked or worked like this since 1922, when it was originally built, but even then, it leaked badly, and didn’t work. Ours worked perfectly, including the mirror like finish, perfectly reflecting the two Great Monuments, which it never had before! What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly. We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible. What they have damaged does not even include the earlier killing of a large amount of grass which was, by far, the least of it. They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete. They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool. The Reflecting Pool was never so beautiful as it was just one week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. We are very proud of what we have done with this magnificent structure, and we will get it repaired, quickly, to an equal level of Beauty. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Fucking liberal ANTIFA BLM ninjas and their mastery of the blade.

I wish I could blame every single thing that I did wrong at work on someone else and have others be like, "oooohhh, that makes sense".

Must have been that sleepy Biden in the middle of the night who vandalized the pool.
