I laughed right out loud....perfect

I'm sure you thought that snappy retort was clever...It wasn't.

My point was, when a road gets fixed out by me, it stays fixed.

We don't have the same problem a week after repairs are complete. Unlike Trump, who is now blaming Antifa for algae blooms everyone told him his half-ass job wouldn't fix.

Someone had to dump fertilizer to get this kind of algae growth. It needs nitrogen

Nope, all it needs is sunlight and a lack of animal life to control it.

Now one of my hobbies is aquariums. I have three of them in my house. I used to have problems with algae, until I figured out how to control it.

1) Change the filters on a regular basis.
2) Include things in the tanks that eat algae
3) Keep the tank out of direct sunlight and don't use the aquarium light unless you want to look at the fish.

Now, in the case of this pool, Trump's repairs didn't include a filtration system. That would take years to install and would be fairly expensive

And putting algae eaters in the tank (snails, fish) might upset the asthetic.

OMG...The default setting on you State worshiping fruitcakes is ALWAYS MUH ROOOOOOOADS!!

You were probably in on the Tip O'Niell Memorial Hole in the Ground, that was years behind schedule and billions over budget.

Except he did a half-ass job and someone else is going to have to come back after him and fix the same problems.

You think that President Trump resurfaced the Reflecting Pool? Wow you are worse off than I thought.

LOL You think an INDOOR little bitty AQUARIUM is the model to follow for a OUTDOOR 5 MILLION GALLON POOL? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Let's just back up and recall exactly WHY President Trump stepped in to fix and upgrade the Reflecting Pool.

Because the draperies are the only thing he has ever been able to focus on, all the way back to when his dad gave him his real estate companies.

No other President gave a damn. Its a Parks and Rec issue about 17 levels below President. Maybe he should focus on his JOB and look at the economy, job growth, inflation, the budget deficit, the quagmire he has us in Iran...

I like infrastructure when its done well. So do you. The funny thing about you rugged individualists is that none of you are in a cabin in the woods living off the land.

He's the one who bypassed the usual GSA process to award the job to his Pool Guy from Mar-a-Lago.

Normally, we non-clerics in government refer to that kind of fraud as "kickbacks".

Let's just back up and recall exactly WHY President Trump stepped in to fix and upgrade the Reflecting Pool. The initial estimates he reviewed for the repairs were OVER $300 MILLION DOLLARS and were going to take at least 3 YEARS to complete. Even with potential fixes to the initial repairs he will still at be about a tenth of the initial estimates in time and dollars.

But there's more to it than that.

The whole reason why the initial estimates were so outrageous is this was going to be the next big taxpayer scam. What better way to bilk the taxpayer out of a billion dollars than set up a bogus Reflecting Pool fraud just the way crooked road contractors work in cahoots with crook government officials to create road projects that never end.

And we could also speculate that much of that "Repair Money" would make it's way into various NGOs and anti-Trump organizations. But Trump took the punch bowl away before any of the scammers could take a sip. THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP for saving us hundreds of millions and doing a better, faster job than any of THEM could.

Well it's not done well, despite your moral preening about it.

You Marxist clods can barely maintain MUH ROOOADS! in marginally passable condition and deliver the mail...The very notion that y'all could manage anything as immense and unwieldy as medical services for all (for example) is beyond laughable,

And I am living in the woods, and could live off the land if push came to shove...So suck on that.
