You do understand peeling up the liner is damaging it and is no different than cutting it?

If you see a loose stone on the Trump-Washington Monument, I guess it's cool to just start pulling stones out until it topples then claim you were just an olympic canoeist minding your own business.

Nice try though.

Of course I understand that. It's a crime to do that, and people can be arrested and charged for that. The Feds are welcome to charge them for pulling on an already damaged liner. My guess is that it will go about as well as the guy that was arrested for throwing a sandwich at an ICE agent. But maybe they'll get convictions this time.

Probably not. We know judges have a bad case of Orange Man Bad just like those who think it's okay to vandalize federal property and that Trump funnels pool remodels to his cronies.

I do think it's funny you have the same talking points today as Jessica Tarlov. The company you keep and such…

No idea wtf you're talking about.

Trump missing a golden opportunity here to sell chunks of the liner that are coming off. He could turn them into American Blue (R) cases for his golden Trump cell phones. Although maybe that's why he's pissed at people taking souvenirs for free.

So do you have evidence of the person cutting a 300 foot gash? Do you have evidence of vandals dumping tons of chemicals in the pool? Yes or no, it is a simple question.
And not BS social media, real evidence, pictures videos that sort of thing.

Fake news. He said it was 350 feet when Jim Acosta of CBS asked him about it. It's going to be a mile long by the end of the week.

Trump said they were under investigation. Is there video of it?

Again, I really don't care if there is or isn't. If crimes have been committed, line them up and shoot them like the Hate America Party wanted to do to Capitol tourists.

Was 86 47 on the grass a hoax? Have people been arrested, detained, questioned trying to sabotage the pool?

Has the reporting by you and others been even remotely honest?

How about we start with some of those basics.

And your obsession is not venturing into badgering. It's a poor look but you do you.

The **** you drone on about.

Nevermind in that very video he said the length was maybe 290 maybe 300.

Does it matter? Do we need POTUS to deep everything and fact check himself of the length of vandalization to the reflection pool?

How did his flatulence smell this afternoon? Because that is the level of detail you are quivering over.

Wonder if they get paid extra to put in the fury costume and if it helps attract would be assassins into the program.

Of all of the election drama in CA, fraud in MN and investigative journalists choose to go in depth on a three foot deep reflecting pool?

Are Woodward and Bernstein on it yet? Lord, have mercy.

How strange that people expect the president of the United States to tell the truth. I will stand by for the "what about xxxx".

He literally said it on the CBS Evening News. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. I find it mildly amusing that it keeps changing.

It will be 600% the length of the pool before too long

Regarding how long a potential cut in the lining is?

You also understand he is POTUS and does not walk the National Mall all day looking for perps and remastering crime scenes.

I expect POTUS to be focused on all the business of these United States, not simply what Joy Reid is turnt up about today.

I can already see where this is going...because of the lunatic left trying to sabotage everything they can in that area there will certainly have to be an increased police presence (I'm sure there already is) so once everything looks good they will cry "We're living under a police state!!!!"

Wait? The president said you can't cut it with a knife? What did they use? A waterproof circular saw?

Really sad to see people on this thread who claim to be Aggies who are rooting for a national monument to be damaged and look like crap for our 250th birthday as a country just because they don't like the duly elected president who was trying to make it look better. If I found myself in that position, I would stop and question what was wrong with me...

Wow. So much goaltending for this joke of an administration about a reflecting pool.

Trump declares a month ago the paint will be so strong you couldn't even cut with a knife if you tried

Today he says it was cut with a knife. A 300 foot cut that someone was able to accomplish on the impenetrable coating


And then said he personally inspected the pool on the 21st. yes, the President of the United States walked around the Mall and inspected the bottom of the still filled with brown water pool and not a single reporter reported on this nor has a single photo or video backed this up

Why would a reasonable person keep goaltending for this conman who just makes up the most unbelievable lies?!??

Really sad to see Aggies who went to college and can't honestly debate. No one wants the reflecting pool to look like crap.

What we want is for our President to not be a complete grifter and outrageous liar nor a pedophile.

Why TF is there a 700 post thread about the GD reflecting pool?!? I won't go back to read it, but that is so absurd I can conclude with much confidence that a group of beta *****es are likely trying to make this a huge deal so they don't have to talk about all the egregious failures of their heroes.

Proving my point about how some of you can't have an honest debate

Since it seems like some of you haven't watched it, here's Trump in his own words. I know it's not a 1 minute sound bite from your favorite echo-chamber news source but please just watch and listen to this man speak for the 5 minute video and tell us all honestly that you believe everything he says here

So what is the issue with what he said? That you don't believe him? Okay.

We know with some folks if he killed cancer he would be lambasted for solving that before diabetes because he hates migrants and colored people. Why would we care if those same people think he is lying or exaggerating about the vandalism.

NOTHING Trump can do will ever be respected or congratulated by a whole swath of the America hatin folk.

But that issue is not on Trump. It's on the sad beings who stand ready to critique his every word, step, thought and breath.

The thread was started by one of Trumps biggest goalies in this forum based on the number of times the OP has responded

And the mods don't allow mixing topics so we are limited to discussing this particular Trump failure in this thread

But as you can see there are threads discussing his Iran war failure, his tariff failures, his cabinet appointee's many failures (Kash, hegseth, Rubio, both AGs, rfk jr, both DHS heads), etc

I know it's tough to keep up with all his grifting and failures so read the other threads as well

He also failed to destroy USAID, as well as Madero, and dammit, the son of a ***** only got seven moderate presidents, elected in central and South America. And he really failed when they exposed the corruption of the FBI etc. He didn't do enough. Such a failure. Oh yes, I forgot he also got your little swimming pool thingy full of algae. That's crazy because it was crystal Clear water for the last 200 years until he got elected.

Ah, the good ol MAGA straw man of "if he cured cancer, then X". Try to be a little more honest in debating and don't use what you have heard talking heads on FoxNews and Newsmax spew.

Listen to him. Try to be unbiased. Watch the entire thing. Watch him not be able to stay on topic. Listen to his crazy explanations of what happened

"no it wasn't a bad job by the no bid contact company that
Got the business. It was a vandal who jumped in and a cut a 250 foot gash all the way down the pool. No wait, it was 350 feet. Oh you want proof?? Ask the ummm, errr secretary"

Seriously if this was Biden saying BS like this, this board would be melting down wanting him out for dementia.

But you all pretend this is normal and fine because he's "your guy". And no , Biden was never my guy. I'm just not MAGA

lol there is literally video of them catching vandals attacking the pool but you Biden Bros can't even accept that.

Told my wife what kind of a fool vandalizes a pool because of the president and yet here some of you are on this thread with late stage TDS.
