No bid contract to a friend of Trump's in the hotel pool industry. The idea stemmed from Trump seeing the park service scrape algae off the top because of ongoing filtration issues. That's it. He just wants to hide the algae. It's so dumb, and as far as I understand it, pool paint is nearly impossible to remove.

Hey did you know that darker colors reflect less sunlight? They turn a substantial portion of light into heat; I wonder if that will affect the algae. I also wonder how he ever thought something on the bottom of the pool was supposed to hide the surface. That's not how occlusion works.

You’re trying to rationalize the mind of a literal anus. Quit while you’re ahead

At least we don't have Harris in office, we dodged a bullet there. /s

She would have started a war with Iran!

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And she might have supported Israel in an ongoing genocide!

And started a trade war!

Sure glad none of this stuff is happening.

I'm even more glad that the Democrats are moving quickly to the left and not openly attacking their own progressive party members and mayors. If they didn't do that, it would undermine the only strategic justification we have for not voting. That would mean our inaction did nothing at all except help fascism spread across the entire political spectrum.

Sure glad that's not the case; I'm going to sleep well tonight.

Hey, please don't insult the anus, it is a very important bodypart

he's like a haemorrhoid in an anus.

He’s more like a skid mark on the underpants of American history

He's president for the theater. People should be realizing anything having to do with him is bullshit and entertaining him and the dramas that revolves around him makes you part of the problem.

What do you mean by "literal" anus?

[–] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Every time a side of him opens, shit comes out of it.
