The US is a brilliant case study of what happens when a society takes pride in being uneducated.
Just a spot of education would tell them that saboteurs would have to carry in and dump 100s and 100s of pounds of fertilizer in there.
Did they treat the lawn and it wash in with the rain? Also, the paint on the bottom warm the pool, and the algae loved it.
Given that it’s probably the most CCTV covered pond in the world maybe Palantir can find the dastardly scooby doo villains using tax payer’s money and a rain forest of llm tokens.
These people are breathtakingly stupid.
What’s irritating is I genuinely believe most of the ones making the posts know exactly how full of shit they are. They make this crap up because Grandma and cousin GenZ Chudley will eat it up without even thinking to fact check anything. They know they are only taking advantage of stupid people for fame and money. If I had no morals, I’d do the same. Sell these fucking idiots shirts about how fluoride makes you gay and vaccines make you gay and autistic, and I could probably make a fuck ton of money.
They are without morals, compassion, and empathy.
They literally are abstaining from a huge part of humanity.
Science is fake news used by left-wing radicals with woke agendas. /s
The problem is their lies incur debts to the truth, and that debt need be paid.
The bullshit part is that we all pay for this debt, and not just the people who are racking it up.

“Are those pool vandalizing Democrats in the room with us?”
Haha, outsmarted by Dumocrats.
GODDAMN WOKE PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Satan was green with envy at god, and turned against him. Algae is green. The left prays to satan in multi-cultural public pools. Coincidence??
They don’t even stop and think about how utterly fucking ridiculous these accusations are. I bet you dollars to donuts that near the DC monuments there are cameras everywhere. Where’s the footage of these evil Dems dumping buckets of algae in the pool? Any (reliable) eyewitness reports? Any scientists taking samples and maybe seeing if the algae was recently disturbed/transplanted?
I mean, I get it, their feelings mean more to them than facts and evidence, but c’mon, man. This is a 4th grade level critical thinking exercise.
Republicans: there is literally no way to tell if something is true other than someone telling me it is
Other than an authoritative man telling them.
These people were raised wrong.
Or some random guy on YouTube. Being on a screen means you know what you’re talking about right?
As long as they project absolute confidence.
Clearly their pool guy is a dirty dem. He purposely let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low so the the chlorine was useless…
Way too scientific for them, it confuses them.
They only need “the Dems did it, they are evil”
You know more about water chemistry than most of my coworkers at my power plant. I get so tired of telling them to watch the tower pH and make sure the acid is running in auto so the hypo will actually fucking do something. It’s a miracle that our condenser performance isn’t trashed by fouling. I’ve caught tower pH at fucking 9 before when it’s supposed to be 7.0-7.5, and I’m trying to push for 6.8-7.2.
Better than when cooling water is supplied with an expensive reverse osmosis unit which then proceeds to corrode the entire carbon steel cooling water system due to pH of 5.5 since everyone is convinced water so pure can’t do any damage.
let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low
Did you mean to word it this way? Rising pH means increasing alkalinity. If the alkalinity is getting lower, then the pH is dropping.
No, “alkalinity” is confusingly another term for water hardness or buffer capacity in English (for historical reasons I guess?).
I meant Total Alkalinity as a buffer, either way the water is out of balance causing any chlorine (if any) to be ineffective and letting Alagae grow.

They are just that dumb. Half of all Americans are complete and utter morons. Like we have our fair share of idiots in Europe, but most of our idiots seem to be a lot smarter those MAGA people.
As someone born, raised and living in the US, I have to disagree with this statement. It’s clearly more then half
Well we did export a lot of our idiots there, so…
One guy commented that DOGE had saved us billions but the media wouldn’t cover it.
Didn’t they fire a bunch of nuclear waste inspectors and then couldn’t rehire them because they’d already turned in all their work phones? Sorted that mess alone out probably put them over budget
Buckets of algae wouldn’t get it. People would be dumping multiple 50# bags of fertilizer in there. Still every bit as absurd.
There is a much easier way to make algae grow in a shallow slow flowing body of water, just paint the bottom a dark color, that way the water stays warm, most algae love warm water. So all you need to do is get a company to come drain it and paint it a dark color, and Bob’s your uncle. It has the added effect of the water staying at the ideal temp for algae growth for a longer percentage of the year, just got to find someone stupid enough to sign off on the plan.
Sorry, they cut the security budget. No tapes, only word of mouth.
Also the standard that property damage (of non-vital property) and possible character defamation are evil, but so many things done by “their team” are not blows my mind.
"Democrats shit in my pants, AGAIN? Impossible!!! It had to be an inside job… These are $700 trump brand security pants with AI anti-diarrhea technology in the butt and real gold Bible verses stitched into the crotch to repel gay boners? These liberals are just too computer, someone needs to stop them from having Paramount plus subscriptions so they can’t learn from the CSI"

I’M STUPID. I’M XENOPHOBIC. I’M RACIST.
They’re like a broken record playing The Traitors’ best hits.
Autopen. Her emails.
Or maybe that whole swamp thing wasn’t just a metaphor.
It’s amazing since all I kept hearing for the past month as this was being done was that this does nothing to fix the underlying issues and that its just going to be the same as it was within weeks due to the heat and low water level. If anything it would be worse due to the dark paint used to absord more heat. Now were here and exactly what was predicted happened and people really blaming shit on more crazy lies lol. These people are beyond nuts.
Sounds like the average large project with multiple project managers.
“I want this done before the deadline and under budget”
“But , we dont have the budget for engineering or research and that deadline isnt enough time to do the work properly”
“I dont care. Do it”
*project gets done, very shoddy work, has tons of issues in the future that could have been avoided with proper engineering *
Cue the most idiotic person (manager) getting a raise because of their "hard work and being viewed as a “visionary” when in reality theyre a dumbfuck with a big mouth. The American way.
Heh, was just on a call after a big failure of a project, one where 75% of the people on the call had told the project manager exactly what was going to go wrong if they kept going the way it was going and needed to change in a way inconvenient to the project managers world view. Folks repeatedly and loudly got dismissed by the project manager.
Now as they are discussing what went wrong when exactly the thing everyone said would go wrong did, the project manager said “no one could have predicted it going this way”.
The real kicker was the right way to do it wouldn’t have cost any time or money, it just was a somewhat different than the project manager’s imagination (who did not have any actual experience doing the work, but still thought he knew better than the seasoned profesionals because of what he had been reading).
exactly what was predicted happened
In the MAGA mindset, that just makes it all the more suspicious. Curious, you seemed to know exactly what would happen and conveniently it happened the way you said… You must have done something to make it happen.
I’m no expert in artificial lake management, but apparently the reason for the algae booms is leakage of the filtration piping that disperses treated water into the soil instead of allowing it to fully circulate into the pool.
The $34 million dollar Obama-era refurbishment attempted to address this with a new system fed by the Potomac river instead of the DC municipal water system, but leakages persist. Trump’s refurbishment project has not made changes to the filtration, piping, or pumping facilities which is probably why algae will continue to be a problem.
Fake news. It’s the democrats who planted algae!!1!
Everyone knows the left has the power to control blue-green algea. We use it as part of our eviiiiil plan to produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air.
Soylent blue-green?
What’s so stupid about this is why would a president ever have any input on something so trivial? Seriously, should he oversee the toilet paper purchasing in the capitol too?
Trump’s whole thing is interior decorating.
Seriously, while the world is burning, he’s most concerned with swatches (and being in the Epstein files, of course).
There’s probably a world where Trump was a tiny bit smarter and got an education in interior design to start a new brass movement. Probably the same world where hitler went into architecture after WW1 and is renowned for being a father of brutalism.
One of his extended family members has a house in the UK and it’s really close to where I live and I sometimes have to go down there and look at it because it’s quite spectacularly tacky. They’re never going to be able to sell it on because Pablo Escobar would think the gold leaf was overdone.
Why do all these fuckers like gold leaf so much? It doesn’t look all that good and it doesn’t clean all that well.
Because it says “I’m rich” which to them means “I’m better than you”?
Does it though? Gold leaf is like 50 bucks a pack at home depot.
Because with the exception of like one person the entire family is messed up. Most rich people buy large houses and Lamborghinis, but for some reason the trumps have the artistic taste of an 18th century monarch.
…as interpreted by a Vegas mafia run casino
I feel like the mob could probably bring a level of competence and level-headedness to the situation that the Trump family have never demonstrated.
I saw a comment on reddit a few years ago that said something like, “Trump’s idea of being rich is what an 8 year old would think being rich means.”
Who else would be impressed by a gold toilet?
I’d kinda be impressed with a solid gold or gold alloy toilet, mostly because as I understand it that would be a bitch to cast and to get working without breaking.
What else is a low IQ felon rapist pedophile going to do? Actually govern a nation?
Please, let him be distracted by stupid shit like that. Instead of declaring wars, kidnapping presidents and committing numerous war crimes and other crimes against humanity.
Ha fair point
At least when he’s focused on trivial bullshit he’s not coming up with new ways to tank the economy. If there’s no adults in the room to tell him no shit like this is the best option.
Because being a president is like REALLY hard you guys! His name has been attached to renos that other people have managed, so surely he can do that to show that he’s good at stuff???
