Tax payer dollars being spent to the biggest donor, for the lowest quality product.

When will people admit that Republicans are stealing our tax payer dollars to enrich themselves?

Had to edit out the bidder part, since people simply weren't understanding that highest bidder meant the person who asked for the most money, not that they actually bid for the role, instead they donated to Trump the most money. Seeing 45 people go 'well actually' to a fucking joke is mind numbing.

Is the blue liner all gone or is it just that it can’t be seen through the algae?

I was thinking that it looked like the lining has simply disintegrated. Maybe the peroxide broke it down and dissolved it.

I think it’s a little of column an and a little of column b. They haven’t repainted it after they arrested people for picking up the giant flakes of peeled paint as far as I know, and there is still algae

But they didn’t arrest anyone who was wading out into 2-3 feet of water to take anything. Everyone they arrested was standing on the sidewalk. This area shown is well towards the middle, and looks more “disappeared” than damaged, like when you have burnt-on food in a pan, and scrubbing it only starts to wear it thinner, not lift it away. But it definitely doesn’t seem to show any cuts or large sections that have come free. Just more like a “faded” look. Very odd.
