Reflecting pool drama

[Vod]

The OLD scandal was how Trump paid his buddy millions to repaint the pool.    The NEW scandal is the terrible job they did.    Who uses Alkaline paint in wet environments?     A nice latex coat would not be peeling up like that, nor causing Algae.

Now it's killing wildlife, and Trump is claiming it was vandalized.  The capital police are investigating he says.

Serial failure president fails again. More at 8pm news. But seriously, this is so on brand that plan couldn't be more Trump if he tried.

1: Use tax payers money to overpay your corrupt criminal friend to do the job and except him to cut corners to get more money.
2: Take away the pool filters because of Obama
3: Ignore all the experts because of woke.
4: Blame others for your own incompetence, because that's Trump brand in a nut sell.
5: Hope that news cycle would be distracted from his corruption, declining mental health and redacting Epstein files
6: Profit.

When I saw that news and scrolled down to where I read that green algae were forming while the painting of not more than a month were peeling off, I was rhetorically asking myself if it was the vandals that were peeling off all that paint. Is it that easy to be peeling of acrylic painting or is the POTUS just playing some third-world politics culture of awarding of contract to cronies and friends who do whatever Job quality they can with the taxpayers money and just get away with it, just to later look for where to send blame on.

Waste of public funds. I don't know why all this keeps happening with no consequences. He just went straight ahead and said it's vandalism when the investigation hasn't been completed. Absurd. Funny enough, he pretends to care about wildlife. Just imagine. Who does he think he's fooling?

The ignorant, or should I say not ignorant but docile citizens who don't think to question anything but will readily pay their tax yo avoid trouble. I just don't understand how POTUS operates sometimes. Imagine this was another president that made this excuse, he would have swooped in like a knight in shining armor ready to defend the wellbeing of the masses from a corrupt and unaccountable ruler but he's the bad guy now and instead of being accountable, he's calling all the shots.

The modern politicians mantra is:
1) Line Your Pockets
2) Reward Your Friends
3) Punish Your Enemies

The kind of people who think they can best solve problems with other people's money, including their own, and accomplish that with lots of violence for all kinds of purposes, are the kind of people who are attracted to the highest positions of power in government.

Yet most people reading this are statistically likely to trust the government over their own family and friends with the most important aspects of life like their children's education. The same way they waste money on the reflecting pools is the same way they waste money on the public schools the world over. In the USA, it was found that there is no correlation between education spending and the education results of any of it's students. We are own or own to fix problems, the government is there under modern government structure to take your money for their personal causes, not help you in any way, shape, or form. That is the way it was set up from it's foundation, including in the USA.

Ancient manuscripts show the foundation of government to be the concept of raiding neighboring populations to plunder resources at least as much as "protecting people". How did people ever got the idea modern government in general is there to help them in any way, shape, or form. Did any before and after study ever show that to be true? Did anyone bother looking to find out?

The USA 250th year is coming up, but each and every year since founding, those in government mostly asked what more powers and funding they could get out of the population. Did they ever blame anything on them selves and ask what they can UNDO? 250 years of more government burdens to each and every person almost every single year now resulting in about 10,000 criminal laws alone in most places, plus the untold hundreds of thousands of pages of other laws in the most "modern" countries. If you see a problem, it's your responsibility to solve it, not to try to pass the responsibility to an elected president.

We cannot have a government with a corrupt foundation expected to have uncorrupted leaders at the top. Yes, much of that was actually fixed with the Bill of Rights, but not nearly enough. Government must only take people's money in ways everyone else won't go to prison for doing them self!
