Hehehehe the video of him pumping his pool guys and then now claiming he doesn’t know them is hilarious.

Watch them not get paid and this whole fiasco ends with yet another lawsuit, just like I said.

    If anyone wrote a story about an awful fascist president who left behind a legacy of desecrated American landmarks, we’d be accused of a lack of subtlety. It’s ridiculously on the nose.

      Notice how the The Onion is just bereft of content because this pedo just does and says crazier and crazier things everyday.

      There was a season of ‘24’ where the President was the baddie and that guy was a better president than Trump.

      Lex Luthor was a better President.

          New York writer Fran Leibowitz put it this way.

          “I ride the subway almost every day, and I’ve never seen anyone on the subway who wouldn’t be a better president. The baby in a stroller? Better president. Homeless schizophrenic? Also a better president.”

        I think Gregory Itzen was nommed for an Emmy for that role.

        What’s even more fucked up is he was “convicted” but served out his “sentence” on a palatial ranch somewhere in pure comfort until his batty wife, whom he never gave a shit about, stabs him in the neck for being a criminal traitor

    How the fuck is this project facing “cost overruns” when it’s just some guys spraying paint into concrete with a $100 million budget?

    I know the real answer to this question, but still… Jesus christ

    I don’t remember it in the news at the time, but the reflecting pool had a major rebuild relatively recently, in 2010-2012. In-progress photo.

    That is, it was extensively rebuilt during the Obama administration.

    And now I wonder if that has something to do with the president’s obsession. Painting over and taking credit for his predecessor’s work. Seems too on-the-nose, really.

    It wasn’t supposed to get done right, or get done at all. He doesn’t care if it sits there, a broken mess in the middle of DC. He’s a slumlord, he’s doesn’t even see that sort of stuff.

    It was all just a standard kickback scheme. He gets his “pool guy” from Maralago to take the contract, keep a couple of mill for himself for his trouble, and the rest goes to Trump. The pool l guy will do some basic work, maybe even get it operating, but it will be shoddy work, with inferior products, every corner cut hard, no permits, no inspections, a couple of bribes, etc. He’ll walk away with a bunch of money, and a nefarious secret he shares with the President, that he can call on when he needs it. .

        Yeah, Citizens are going to have to get used to screaming “SHUT THE FUCK UP” at MAGAs. We don’t owe them anything, no respect, no listening to what they want, etc. They are corrupt, treasonous pedophiles, and they have no say in ANYTHING that happens in America in the future. We have a civic responsibility to be as hostile toward them as possible for the rest of their lives.

        The worst thing is the average voter will believe this and vote in a Republican next time. Rinse and repeat.

        unbased untruthful lies spread by the former administration to cover all the great things god is doing for america and the world.

        Edit: I meant Trump.

        Edit2: He didnt.
