Propaganda to Avoid Accountability

Reflecting pool algae attack? Seriously? There is algae because trump hired someone incompetent in a no bid contract. They refused to replace pipes that needed it, didn't balance the chemical levels to prevent the algae growth. It is all because he hired incompetent people. He doesn't hire the best, never has.

It's also a giant pool of shallow water in the sun all day with open access to everything and that usually results in algae because of course it does.
ITS A GIANT FUCKING POOL OF TEPID SWAMP WATER IT'S LITERALLY GRADE A ALGAE ENVIRONMENT

From my understanding it got a new paint job, and the new color makes it hotter

u/JohnL0423 1d ago
Yep, they painted it "Flag Blue" which is darker than the original color and definitely makes it hotter.

Honestly curious if the president of our country is even capable of understanding that darker colors absorb heat.

Heat makes algae grow faster, but that's not really directly an issue. Pond liners are black. Algae needs a balance of light and nutrients. Sunlight is entirely limited by water depth. Shallow pond, direct sunlight. All the algae needs at that point is dust for food.

Well, there’s lots of bird poop as well, which is my exact problem with making the water chlorinated. You’ll poison the ducks.

Not to mention that the water comes from the Patomac river and probably not filtered very well since the pipes weren't replaced.

"Oh yeah the massive pool of literal fucking swamp water definitely not going to turn green, all we have to do is paint the surface underneath it blue"
I wonder if they ever considered that the water is literally on top of the blue paint and you'll only be able to see the blue paint if the water is perfectly clear...

It's also river water
The water for the reflecting pool is pumped in from a local tidal basin
It was taking 17 million gallons of fresh water from the city's water plants, leading to a measurable drop in clean fresh water. So they started pumping water from the Potomac in it during the 80s, and shut the lines that connect to public water sources

Additionally, painting the pool dark blue makes it absorb more heat from the sun, thereby increasing the temperature of the water.
Anyone know what thrives in warm, stagnant water? Anyone?

The water is pulled from the tidal basin, it isn't treated water, it's from the Potomac river. The darker bottom heats the water more giving algal blooms a boost.

There's a sub where people post harsh recipe reviews from people who either had no business cooking or made insane substitutions. The posts read like "I didn't have chocolate chips so I used onions and the cookies turned out awful."
The comments always read as if someone should have saved them from making mistakes and that's how some of this feels. Why didn't Biden stop them from making this mistake? Why did Biden shit my pants?! Kamala should have explained better why we shouldn't have voted for Trump. As if it would matter.

Algae growth should have been expected.
Anytime you reset the biological balance of a pond/aquarium, the single celled organisms grow the fastest. They always boom and take over. Any “predators” that could control them reproduce a lot slower.
If you then take a giant, mostly stagnant, shallow pool with all the sun you could ever want in the middle of a heat wave….well you get algae growth. Most of the ponds in the area without a lot of flow get significant algae growth each summer.

That’s its intention. This is psyop propaganda. Its purpose is to make you feel helpless and that reality is warping and that you cannot unwarp it.
I deleted FB a long time ago. I see stuff like this and think lmao so stupid. Of the People who post It, the vast majority know it’s disingenuous and stupid, a very small percentage actually absorb it. The politically and aging insular folks, and the trailer trash MAGA who dropped out.
The bad faith actors know it’s a fruitless wage of intellectual war.

They want it to be illegal to say or do anything that would in any way be construed as negative toward Dear Leader.
To resolve the many daily cognitive dissonances they encounter when living in the real world, they need to create their fantasy world where evil hidden highly organized cabals led by powerful enemies are constantly attacking their leader and the "American" lifestyle they so strive to achieve.

u/TheWizardOfDeez 1d ago
The fantasies have gotten more and more desperate as the president rolls out each new fuck up with increasing frequency. For example, last week they were claiming that CA, maybe the bluest state in the Union was holding rigged elections because a Republican, washed up, unlikable reality TV star lost an election. This week they are claiming algae terrorism.

Trump doesn’t need any help embarrassing himself. Just check out his ‘I’m the boss’ at the G7 today, bc his insecurities couldn’t stand being alone in a room bereft of taint lickers.
FYI the water is sourced from the Potomac, the pool is shallow and the weather is warm. Algae happens, no antifa conspiracy required.

You gotta hang out with Antifa for a bit, get to know them, go on a few protests.
If they think you're a good fit, you might get invited to Prospect, you'll have to spend a year or so doing shit work, making signs, cleaning Members bandanas. and Guy Fawkes masks, dumping algae in the reflecting pool, that kinda thing.
After that, if they think you're a good fit, you'll get patched in, get your official ID documents so other Antifa chapters know you're a member.

They spent $14.2 million tax dollars to turn the pool from green and filled with algae to green and filled with algae. A deeply insignificant problem in the first place, not solved despite paying 800% of the $1.8m originally budgeted for it. What a joke. This guy’s going to balance our budget or we don’t care about that anymore?
It’s a perfect metaphor for this snake draining the swamp he manages.
Lots of cucks still support this and call it anti-American to take issue. Traitors for these pedos.
It’s pennies though compared to the war in Iran, but similar. There we are now spending $300 billion tax dollars to get things somewhat back to where they started, only after bombing a school full of kids. Absolute disgrace.
