America's new colors are red, white and Prussian blue.

What am I looking at here?

It's the Majdanek Gas Chamber. The blue spots are results from Zyklon B which reacts with Iron.

I’m surprised it’s not golden?

I can't wait till a real adult gets in there and unfucks everything this pedophile fucked.

If he hasn't already fucked it into submission.

dont think its reversible, right now they are getting thier golden parachutes ready to ditch the usa, for EU/UK/NZ/AUS when this all over. plus the DNC is totally complicit with trump on this, i dont think NEWSOME being so milquetoast would be do anything useful.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Undoing this damage will require the US to take a long hard look at itself and I don't think there is the impetus to do that.

Why would, for example Europe, want to get back in bed with the US as long as the GOP who caused all of the problems still exist? We could have 8 years of stability and then some other insane republican gets in and it's back to square one again. The better option is to just label the US's politically unstable, and not have anything to do with them anymore.

If you want the rest of the world to trust you again you're going to have to put these idiots on trial, give them serious prison sentences, and then change the stupid constitution so that convicted criminals are ineligible for office and the president isn't God emperor, they have some limits on power. Also having the president elect court justices is obviously stupid as well, fix that.

Of course none of this will happen.

This may not be reversible, some things he does especially involving painting granite, like the OEOB proposal, are not really fixable. So this thing is now coated forever unless it's torn up and replaced, and the coating will break down within years I'm sure.

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 79 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The damage he’s done in a year is likely not going to be fixed in our lifetimes with the rate that we make progress in this country.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

“The rate at which we make progress”

See: Backwards :/

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At the very least, this isn't an old/historic pool, the old one was ripped up entirely in 2010 and remade with new concrete.

So if he ruins it, it'll cost a bit to fix but it's not ruining a historical artifact.

Pre-Trump US is over. You can’t undo the damage he’s caused and go back to how it has been.

If there are fair elections and the Dems take the House and Senate investigations will begin and his crony’s will close ranks because they are just as culpable. Dems have no interest in a presidential candidate who is just going to ignore the crimes of the past administration like Obama or a wish to return to norms like Biden.

The left will want these people prosecuted and jailed when we return to power. The right will do whatever it takes to stay in power to prevent this from happening. The oligarchs will do anything to preserve their grasp on both parties so they don’t become targets.

No matter how it plays out the US will be a turbulent place for at least a decade after the 2028 election.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 15 hours ago

too late, its not even the midterms yet, texas, lousiania, tennesee, florida and other gop states already gerrymandering harder now, and cancelling elections.

You can't un fuck a child. Once child rape is done it's done and I can't believe I just said this about a sitting president in the United States

The work was done by Atlantic Industrial Coatings from New Canton Virginia. Their website: https://vaspray.com/aic/

According to their website they have experience with liners, but there's no mention of using paint. My guess is that they placed an expensive liner in a pool on one of Trump's properties, but Trump doesn't want to pay that bill, so to compensate them, AIC got to do this cheap ass botch job for an inflated price for the us government.

With paint instead of a liner, they will have had to waterproof all the joints between the slabs as best as they could. That waterproofing will have become damaged when Trump's motorcade drove over it.

I don't think they have any experience I'm not even sure they have workers, no experience with that company, but the general scam is to get a dude with a contractor license to be the face and "subcontract" down to a bunch of people desperate enough to ignore the fact basically every labor law is being violated along with some other ones. I can guarantee anything removed during the construction of any of this is not going to be disposed of properly, it's just going to go where it's some one else's problem.

[–] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I do believe that it used to be a real company with a few real employees, they show a few old projects on their website and those seem well executed. Their old specialization seems to be small scale renovations on culverts and small industrial basins with lots of nooks and crannies. They did the kind of jobs that their bigger competitors would rather not do. Which is probably also how they ended up renovating Trump's pool: the actual pool companies didn't want the headache of working for Trump org.

But then this massive paint job is like you described it. Too big for the company, done with loads of temp guys, with materials that they have no experience with ... anything goes.

OMG that's the Lincoln memorial people. Is nothing sacred?

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 10 points 1 day ago

On the grass, right about the spot where there's an empty square on the left hand side, is where my wife and I had our first kiss. I bet I'm going to hate what this becomes whenever I get the chance to go back and visit.

I'm too European to understand, I get that it's a Trumpism but what has he done this time

[–] tburkhol@slrpnk.net 99 points 2 days ago (10 children)

This is the Lincoln Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, a treasured landmark seen in many iconic images and films. The mad king had it drained so that the bottom could be painted blue, adding an over-saturated "ocean" color.

he has pedophelia constantly nagging at his periphery, he needs constant media distractions.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 77 points 2 days ago

So we are not talking how to dethrone a pedophile loser put in power by racist trash manipulated by oligarchs.

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago (2 children)

To distract from his child rape in the Epstein files and enrich his fellow oligarchs at the public’s expense.

Just so you know, that's not concrete they are painting, it's slabs of granite.

Fucking fools.

Don't worry about his buddy. He's gonna screw his buddy out of the contract. There will be a lawsuit after it's all done.
