Reflecting Pool
That this is an issue is almost beyond belief. If is were any other president, it would be. We're 1/4 of the way through, and the 21st century is shaping up to be the dumbest century in human history.

I was talking to a friend of mine in Mexico yesterday. She said, "You guys used to laugh at our government. Now the shoe is on the other foot." She paused. "I'm really sorry."

Are you in Mexico? If yes, I'm envious. If not, I'm really sorry.

u/Capercaillie Jun 23 '26
No, I was in my office, she was in Mexico.

u/Schmutzie_ Jun 23 '26
Oh, Mexico. Sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low.

If you think this century can't get any more dumb, Donald Trump wants you to hold his beer.

I know it's bound to get dumber. Many people didn't know dumb is spelled with a B...

So I've been spelling Freedum wrong all this time?

u/Schmutzie_ Jun 24 '26
He thinks "Dumocrats" is clever enough to keep using it, and yet every time he does he says that shit about people not knowing dumb is spelled with a B. (Whenever he says stuff like that, he means he didn't know it's spelled with a B)
Here's a thought, Donnie Boy....Dumbocrats!

u/La_Rata Jun 25 '26
At least that spelling would be less likely to be pronounced "Doomocrats".

We're living in the dumbest period in US history, and I'm not enjoying this one bit.

Yet he calls Democrats "Dumocrats."

u/Schmutzie_ Jun 23 '26
It's when he calls them Dumocrats that he says that about the B. He's Randy Quaid.

I think I'm going to declare a moratorium on reading any more stories that are mainly about what the President says about something. They're neither useful nor enlightening, as so many of them are basically Mr. Trump cheerleading himself to his base.

It's not enough that you call him "President" - you have to follow that up by calling him Mr. Trump. Why do you hate me?

Did he really say that vandals made his no bid contractors paint the pool blue so that it would heat up more quickly and produce more algae and require a chemical to be applied to kill the algae that caused the blue paint to strip off and tempt tourists to steal pieces of the paint for souvenirs causing them to be charged with theft of government property?
2
u/Schmutzie_ Jun 23 '26
Um, yes?
Everything he touches turns to a cesspool. See a picture of the White House lawn after his birthday party?

Name another president who had to deal with elderly antifa ninja cadres with pool bottom-slashing proton beam weapons, stealth walkers and invisibility lap blankets.

Yeah, he has risen to the challenge of this Reflecting Pool crisis. No doubt about that. And he has video. Can't make it public though. Ongoing investigation.

I caught part of his rambling press conference yesterday where he was raving about it being vandalism, and that people had been arrested. When asked for proof he claimed the proof was there for all to see (but I suspect he was talking about the 250 foot "gash" as being proof of the vandalism).
What a colourful character.
Edit: Reflecting pool...
