No bid contract to a friend of Trump's in the hotel pool industry. The idea stemmed from Trump seeing the park service scrape algae off the top because of ongoing filtration issues. That's it. He just wants to hide the algae. It's so dumb, and as far as I understand it, pool paint is nearly impossible to remove.
Hey did you know that darker colors reflect less sunlight? They turn a substantial portion of light into heat; I wonder if that will affect the algae. I also wonder how he ever thought something on the bottom of the pool was supposed to hide the surface. That's not how occlusion works.
You’re trying to rationalize the mind of a literal anus. Quit while you’re ahead
Hey, please don't insult the anus, it is a very important bodypart
he's like a haemorrhoid in an anus.
He’s more like a skid mark on the underpants of American history
More like a soiled dipe.
More like a pustulous parasite.
"he lacks the warmth and the depth"
General every
At least we don't have Harris in office, we dodged a bullet there. /s
And she might have supported Israel in an ongoing genocide!
And started a trade war!
Sure glad none of this stuff is happening.
I'm even more glad that the Democrats are moving quickly to the left and not openly attacking their own progressive party members and mayors. If they didn't do that, it would undermine the only strategic justification we have for not voting. That would mean our inaction did nothing at all except help fascism spread across the entire political spectrum.
Sure glad that's not the case; I'm going to sleep well tonight.
What do you mean by "literal" anus?
Every time a side of him opens, shit comes out of it.
He's president for the theater. People should be realizing anything having to do with him is bullshit and entertaining him and the dramas that revolves around him makes you part of the problem.
I think you got your answer right there
I'm surprised he didn't paint it a gaudy fake gold tbh
Does this imply Trump actually paid one of his pool contractors for work rendered enough times for them to be on friendly terms? Honestly surprising.
so hear me out. does this make a self-heating pool? like i do not know the pool industry. if i did this to my own pool, would i have to warm the water or would it do that to itself?
i mean i don't have a pool but it would make playing chocolate milk so much easier.
Isn't like basically every pool liner blue?
That's from all the microwater in the plastic
In a VERY loose sense of the word.
