The urgent, desperate need to fix the Reflecting Pool!

[Marener]

Why would we need ti fix it again so soon after Obama spent 34 million? Do you even care?

it has been over a decade and it sounds like their fix was clearly insufficient.

Painting over a problem isn’t a fix.

It's my understanding that it's not just painting there's also sealing involved.

In case no one told you, we're having a 250th Birthday party in two monthS. He's sprucing the place up.

Gott Im Himmel, the shit that triggers you TDS haters. "HE ORDERED THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN BE RAKED. IMPEACH HIM"

$1Bn buys 40,000 Hyundai sedans. Not even a price of an underground gun range. Come on man!*


*I want an underground gun range.

and 2B would buy 80,000. Yer point?

That is a metric fucktun of taxpayer money. That he is dilly dallying around like a dementia patient with shiny toys WHEN WE ARE IN A WAR. Thats the point.


The arch won't get built. It also requires taxpayer funds.
I don't care about the fountain.

I don't know much about pools, but google suggests that they need to be resealed every 7 to 15 years. Maybe it's not really a failure of the Obama renovation and just regular maintenance.

The main purpose of the Obama restoration was to stop it from sinking into the marshy soil, so that seems like it was pretty successful.

Either way, making it an expensive rush job with a no bid contract is a little weird. Especially as it went to a buddy of his.

$13M? That's not even couch cushion $.

As I said, I don't care about the fountain, other than once again Trump overpromised and underdelivered.

You're FOS, as usual.

Obama was going to RENOVATE the reflecting pool.

Trump is going to waterproof and paint it.

Cost of Trump's reflecting pool repairs balloon by $11.3 ...​

16 hours ago — Originally, the president pegged $1.8 million for efforts to repaint the reflecting pool, waterproof its bottom and mend leaking joints.

Waterproof and painting is renovating

Wow, every post of yours is another I’m reminded how there is truly nothing there

Not at all, hence they have to fix the leak before the paint job

Not really the damage needs repair now

Why would you want to let the leaking to continue to happen? And needs to be ready to go back July

What happens if it's not fixed by July?

Well it would make a mess out of the big bday party we are having for America.

She turns 250 then

Why didn't he fix it last year instead of paying a lot more for a rush job?

He started working on it last year.

The leak was recently discovered

Ask your parents sometime about doing renovations or work around the house…sometimes issues aren’t discovered til after you start

Afraid it'll make you want to jump in? How funny, Trump signs aboard dressing up the DC area a little, cut crime, add a ballroom, pretty up the mall pool, and leftists have a fit.

They are terrified that Trump will succeed and have a popular idea leaving them less than nothing to run on.

Democrats have vowed to return all filth to the reflecting pool on day one of a 2028 democrat victory. 12 dump trucks filled with dirt and trash will be lined up. As soon as the democrat president is sworn in the trucks will restore the reflecting pool to democrat degradation.

Trump, still mired in distractions, turns his attention to the reflecting pool in D.C.

Two-thirds of Americans believe the president has the wrong priorities. As he focuses on another renovation project, he keeps proving them right.

Thank "god" for a president who knows what the country's priorities should be. Put the Iran War and the Cuban invasion on the back burners. We must get the pool fixed ASAP!

PS - Trump had more people attend his July 4 speech than MLK had attend his! Wow, that sure needed to be said!

Bigly!!!

I don't mind a few hundred bridges collapsing or thousands of foreclosures or skyrocketing prices as long as I can see that reflection. I actually lost some sleep the other night worrying about the reflection.
