Blaming Obama for his failed 16+ million dollar attempt at entering the algae-based bio fuel industry.

How sad.

    It’s a sign of a weak man, to never admit ones mistakes while constantly blaming others…

    Weak man with small hands.

    Oh and also a pedophile. Not related to the pool, just stating the facts, so we don’t forget. Pedophile with nuclear codes.

    “Advanced nanobubbler technology”? That’s what they’re calling hydrogen peroxide now?

      I’m confused.

      At one point, the spokesperson is quoted as saying, “The nanobubbler technology has successfully destroyed the algae bloom that has plagued every pool reopening since 1922 …”

      But then they call it “advanced nanobubbler technology.”

      Is it more than a century old, or is it advanced? Pick one.

        algae blooms have been happening every year since 1922, is pretty clear what that’s saying to me, and the spokesperson is claiming the nanobubbler has stopped that.

    This is what happens when you let the customer decide on the solution instead of the requirements.

      Oh, absolutely. This is a classic real estate development kickback scheme, which is Trump’s Bread & Butter. Why do you think he went on such a tear, renovating the pool, the ballroom, the Kennedy Center, the Arch, etc.? It allows him to hand pick his contractor, so he can choose a guy whom he knows will play ball.

    I used to be into aquariums, and now I’m wondering how big a plecostomus could grow if released into a tank of that size?

      It would probably get cooked. It’s very shallow water with a very dark bottom now. That’s a lot of surface area to absorbed heat compared to the water it holds.

      How deep is the reflecting pool, and how bad do winters get there? I would suggest nerite snails instead, mostly so assholes don’t try to catch and eat the plecos.

      I doubt it was this, but I hope Obama left one minor prank on his way out, like a whoopie cushion, or an upside down desk drawer.

      Obama leaves a letter on the desk for Trump’s first day. It reads:

      "Mr. President,

      On this, your first day in office, congratulations again on your victory. Although it’s clear to us both by now that we may never see eye-to-eye on many important issues, I want to express my hope for your success in this new position. Very few people will ever understand the challenges endured while carrying the weight of a nation, if not the entire free world, on one’s shoulders like we do. Along those lines, I humbly offer you my full support, putting aside whatever differences we might have, in the interest of serving our shared and highest value, the well-being and advancement of this great country. Should you ever want it, I am prepared and willing to give whatever assistance possible with utmost diligence and discretion.

      We’re all counting on you. Good luck!

      Sincerely,

      Barack Obama

      P. S. I left a little something in the upper right-hand drawer just to show there’s no hard feelings."

      After reading it, Trump opens the drawer and hundreds of marbles spill out along with a note card.

      I think this why he’s so mad at Obama.

    Do these people not understand that algae tends to grow in water unless the water is treated? For most previous administrations, this would be a rhetorical question, but in this case I’m honestly not sure.

      It also happened in 2012 when the 2 year renovation was completed by Obama and it was pretty bad. I did check to make sure that was true but anyways the algae isn’t that abnormal of an occurrence after work was done to it.

      What is abnormal is how much focus has been placed on some algae and not the blatantly obvious grift of the taxpayer through the no bid contract that ballooned in cost. Yeah, fuck the algae and it does stem from some mismanagement - that will get cleaned up in the next week or so - but the real story is the disgusting level of corruption.

      I just can’t get over how wantonly, cartoonishly, absurd “is this even real life” levels of corruption the Trump administration has right now. I mean … Fuck … Carter gave up his peanut farm and now we’re here?

      What is happening to this nation in its 250th year is so … Only older cringe AF millennials should see this so avert your eyes if you aren’t one… >!.. So so sooooooo retarded.!<

      Apparently it’s been a problem for a while not a constant issue but off and on and I also don’t get it. Just chlorinate the shit out of it? I don’t know why putting a pool liner would matter either way but just nuke it with pool chemicals? It’s not like people go in there or drink it or anything
