Long live the Supreme Leader, long live the Revolutionary Guards
just get rid of that building in the way and turn it into a canal
just make a bunch of canals everywhere
And they said Trump wouldn’t be a green president. Checkmate libs.
unreal tournament (1999)
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.
Their alternative is recognising that the US isn’t the great benevolent power that they imagine it is, so this is their only option.
Don’t forget the east wing…
Who’s fighting in that shitshow again?
Why don’t they add salt, seawater is less prone to algae
Honestly kinda pretty
make a thousand monuments bloom
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).
they should make it the world’s biggest ball pit
I support the algae in their war against carbon dioxide and the American empire.
“drain the swamp” lol

That’s a lovely green.
No one could have predicted this!
I like the idea someone had here. drain it, fill it with a clear blue resin. done!
Libs would go insane. DC stuff like a reflecting pool is very important to them.
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

A nice ingredient in the “pool” of climate change and tropical insects reproducing in the has been colder places and populations without antibodies.
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!
I’ve pivoted to recommending mercury
Pouring thousands of gallons of epoxy to simulate water would be incredibly American.
Mar a lagoon.
