Hehehehe the video of him pumping his pool guys and then now claiming he doesn’t know them is hilarious.

Watch them not get paid and this whole fiasco ends with yet another lawsuit, just like I said.

    If anyone wrote a story about an awful fascist president who left behind a legacy of desecrated American landmarks, we’d be accused of a lack of subtlety. It’s ridiculously on the nose.

    I don’t remember it in the news at the time, but the reflecting pool had a major rebuild relatively recently, in 2010-2012. In-progress photo.

    That is, it was extensively rebuilt during the Obama administration.

    And now I wonder if that has something to do with the president’s obsession. Painting over and taking credit for his predecessor’s work. Seems too on-the-nose, really.

        We went from Dan Quayle being universally shamed and humiliated for misspelling “potato” via an incorrect flash card provided by a teacher to… whatever the fuck this is.

          Honorable mention for Howard Dean getting similar treatment and exiting the proverbial stage due to “making excited noise that sounded weird” lmao

          From that to “grab em by the pussy, you can do anything” and the response being success is some wild shit.

    How the fuck is this project facing “cost overruns” when it’s just some guys spraying paint into concrete with a $100 million budget?

    I know the real answer to this question, but still… Jesus christ

    the regime is so inept, they can’t take on a no risk landscaping project without making a mess… and Americans thought “these are who I want in charge of my whole country” TWICE

      If it’s any small consolation, a guy at work who always wore his MAGA hat finally stopped lately. I won’t forget he voted for the man three times but at least even some of his most diehard supporters are starting to abandon him. It still won’t make a difference now though, he’s gonna try to make himself dictator to avoid any responsibility for his crimes eventually.

        It makes no difference, that colleague will vote for Vance or Rubio or a putrid garbage bag left to rot in the sun as long as it hurts the people they hate… which is everyone that has made better life decision than themselves

          No doubt about that. Republicans will always be voted in, their propaganda game is strong and their supporters’ minds are too weak to think twice about them.
