Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I could have sworn there were articles circulating this morning that they were pouring hydrogen peroxide in there? Now bleach?
...that sounds like a bad idea, but I'm no pool expert.
Do ammonia next!
While the DC MAGAs are all having a big fundraising event with all the Sociopathic Oligarchs, gathered around the pond.
They're talking about the same thing. The term "Bleach" is ambiguous and mostly describes a result rather than a specific chemical. It could be talking about sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium percarbonate (or any number of other chemicals that make things white)
This article specifies the use of both 12% hydrogen peroxide and calcium hypochlorite powder. Hope they turned off the ozone generator too.
Sure, when used a verb...
When someone "bleached their hair" they used hydrogen peroxide, because that would achieve a bleaching effect
However the headline uses it as noun "dumps bleach in pool". And I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
The article says hydrogen peroxide, but headlines are often written by someone else and I think that's where the confusion came from.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach
It still also sounds like it could be used as an adjective in the headline. But, yea, they’re sensationalizing things.
It would be hilarious, ironically, if they ended up making chlorine gas because they just poured in whatever they thought would fix it.
Then the pool fills with dead birds and they blame democrats.
I mean, when chlorine hypochlorite oxidizes organic material, you will make some chorine gas. However, unless they used an absolute shit ton it wouldn't matter much outside.
I doubt they are measuring it well…wouldn’t surprise me
Hey thanks! That makes sense
Maybe they'll do ammonia next and gas themselves
You told people to mix bleach and ammonia, Peggy?!
Why not both
