💼 Careercow Donald J Trump - 45th/47th President of the USA, convicted felon, Epstein bro, Putin/Netanyahu simp, serial liar, sore loser, cheat and the Chris-Chan of Presidents. Lost a war to Iran and algae. THIS IS NOT USPG2.

I also love that he goes into the full quote. Does he think: A/ his supporters are so dumb that they don't a very famous quote taught to school children? B/ He thinks he is really smart for knowing said quote? C/ All of the above.

Notice how he cuts out the "they came for the communists/socialists/trade unionists" and jumps straight for the "jews"

Still not our war, Mark.

They always forget that part, especially "Nazis were totally radical leftists guiiiiz!" sorts.

Thankfully that argument’s less common now that conservatives are basically all pro-Axis.

The median voter thinks bike lanes are communist, so sometimes they will still trot out that line about Hitler being communist, but only because everything else is communist.

I'm late to the pool discussion, and maybe this is a retarded question- but is there a reason why they couldn't just treat it with chlorine or bleach the way swimming pools are?

I know water color is dependent on the color of the pool concrete, but pool coatings that don't peel and pool water that doesn't accumulate algae are already solved issues. Literally thousands/millions of large outdoor swimming pools exist that are under direct sunlight, look blue and don't have algae problems. It's cheap enough that homeowners and for-profit public pools can maintain them, so I honestly don't understand why the government couldn't just chlorinate it and get proper pool-grade coatings.

Shitload of chlorine, and it's not permanent. In a pool, you want to go by shock-and-maintain. If you shock it (chlorine), and then leave it, the chlorine will just evaporate out of the water, and the algae comes back.

It's very big but it's very shallow, the chlorine used in treating pools breaks down when exposed to sunlight and heat. With that shallow of a depth you'd be losing chlorination very quickly along with the evaporated water. It draws from the bay so it's not treated to begin with.

It would also make it smell very strongly of chlorine around the pool.

Ok, but what stops them from maintaining chlorine levels the same way they do in swimming pools?

Not an issue for the government that fritters away billions on other retarded stuff, also this gov't is headed by a president particularly concerned about aesthetics of this particular pool.

Trump owns lots of properties with pools, and I'm sure he is surrounded by people who also have properties with pools. I am genuinely wondering if there is some other issue with the reflecting pool, because there is no way that I am the first person to think of this.

Well, either increase depth or commit to a more frequent maintenance schedule.

It would also make it smell very strongly of chlorine around the pool.

I have my doubts that this would be a undesirable thing, because pools already smell of chlorine and it's tolerable.

Since the filtration system relies on a natural source, the algae is coming from inside the house, and that much chlorine isn't good for the environment.

In that case, make it a closed system like most other pools in existence. Again, pools are a solved issue and have been for ages.

Seriously, is this administration retarded? rhetorical question

 

[cuttysnark]

They should just fill it with Venezuelan crude oil. No one would go near it and Trumptard won't have to worry about Antifa attacks on it anymore.

Woah buddy, that costs money.
And our money is going to israel Iran.

If you make it too deep you'll get too many waves.

The amount you'd need for a pool of this size with these conditions, definitely. Another issue with chlorine exposure is it causes metal corrosion and rusting.

It uses water from the Potomac which is later reintroduced to the river so adding too much chemicals is probably not an option. It also kills ducklings which makes everyone sad, regardless of political affiliation.

The pool has used potable water from the DC grid for most of its time. Obama decided 30,000,000 gallons of city drinking water each year was too much so they switched to using the Potomac water, which to be fair it filtered. But the algae problem has been a reoccurrence since that switch.

I wonder why they don't just switch back to using DC drinking water? Yeah it's a lot but DC isn't exactly in a drought area. And obviously that was working better for the bulk of the pools history.

They can’t find ONE person to sing the national anthem but we have, like, 6957363 sports games a year where there is a vocalist on standby?? Give it to someone who wins the best essay letter write-in competition for how much they love America. It doesn’t matter if it’s Susan Boyle or Ariana Grande.

Just stupid.
