Long live the Supreme Leader, long live the Revolutionary Guards
“drain the swamp” lol
libs will not shut the fuck up about this and the kennedy center
The liberal mind cares nothing for human life. Merely for building ornate decadent monuments to itself. The liberal desires nothing more than to be reduced to be an exhibit in a museum of a long-dead civilization.
Don’t forget the east wing…
Their alternative is recognising that the US isn’t the great benevolent power that they imagine it is, so this is their only option.
Im surprised they aren’t just pumping it full of copper. It’s blue, it kills algae, and the president doesnt need to follow EPA regs on pesticides.
Sure, the outflow would lead to oxygen depletion and a fishkill in the potamac, but thats for the woke to cry about
They’re just dumping bleach/ hydrogen peroxide in it rn
peroxide is toxic to all life at high concentrations. But all life has enzymes to deal with it, and it decomposes to water and oxygen. Weak shit. Algae laughs at the pathetic attempt at control. Copper-based pesticides on the other hand are no joke to algae (and it eventually ends up in the sediment, persisting in the environment forever).
Theu should do the real American thing and replace the water with a constant flow of petrol
That’d make it more light turquoise blue color tho right? Trump wanted it “American flag blue”
Atp they should just fill it with some industrial petroleum dye that’ll mutate the ducks
I cant find pics, but copper pesticides are a deep blue color (because of the oxidation state of the copper). At least thats how it looks when you mix it before applying. You never use enough to actually color the body of water, and you’re right it probably turns more greenish after being applied.

Methylene blue lets gooooo! Put me in the situation room ill find a solution to this
I like the idea someone had here. drain it, fill it with a clear blue resin. done!
Pouring thousands of gallons of epoxy to simulate water would be incredibly American.
Mar a lagoon.
Put astroturf on top to complete the effect
Libs would go insane. DC stuff like a reflecting pool is very important to them.
Drain it and replace it with a mirror
Reflects better, doesn’t grow algae, what’s not to love
The focused and reflected light would death ray something to charcoal, hopefully clusters of Starlink shatellites. Oh, and “the libs” would be to blame.
Skill issue, I’m fuckin cold blooded baby, can’t death ray me
Aesthetics of solids vs flowing liquids aside, resin just doesn’t hold up very well under constant UV light. I don’t want to know what it would cost just to tear it up, nevermind replace it when that happens. Unless there’s some super resin I dont know about.
Other considerations:
- a million particles would get trapped in the resin before it cures.
- resin heats as it cures which could do massive damage to the basin at such large volumes.
- that amount of resin would be a nightmare to mix/pour evenly and cure quality would be highly dependent on weather. You’d probably have to do it in layers, which just creates more opportunity for debris to get trapped inside.
- wear and tear. I bet you would have all sorts of people and wildlife walking around on it and scratching it up.
- stains from said people and wildlife.
- yellowing and clouding over time, which will make it not so reflective plus plastics in general are a bitch and a half to buff/polish
…honestly you’d be far better off filling it with polished concrete or stone. Just commit to the bit at that point. You can even dye it.
At least it would solve the problem of the pool leaking
That reminds me, let’s not talk about the water that would collect on top lol
Either you fill it to the fill line in which case the water flows off. Or you fill it to the brim.
Maybe? Only if the surface is sloped to the sides and otherwise perfectly flat. And this is a vast surface to have the resin set like that, if such a thing is even possible without some shaping and polishing after it cures.
Only one way to find out!

A nice ingredient in the “pool” of climate change and tropical insects reproducing in the has been colder places and populations without antibodies.
I’ve pivoted to recommending mercury
This. This I like.
It’s supposed to be a reflecting pool, isn’t it?
I support the algae in their war against carbon dioxide and the American empire.
make a thousand monuments bloom
they should make it the world’s biggest ball pit
Things being done “for the public” getting thwarted by lack of regulations on growth: how very Amerikkkan
Wow Trump gone woke, even making the reflecting pool green. America truly has fallen
Think of the CO2 being sequestered
unreal tournament (1999)
And they said Trump wouldn’t be a green president. Checkmate libs.
