Guilty until proven there's a crime?

Perhaps you can share details on how these so-called "vandals" developed Magic Algae Grow, as well as how they could use telekenesis to make the pool lining tear itself away from the bottom of the pool and float in chunks to the surface.

I assume you'll be called by Jeanine Pirro as an Expert Witness. I would have to surmise you're both a chemist, a marine biologist and a materials engineer. Harvard was it? Stanford? Maybe we met at one or the other?

As imbecilic as MAGAs show themselves to be every day, and when rational people think it could get much worse, a MAGA comes along and says, "Hold my cheeseburger."

And the terrorists who tried to overthrow US democracy at Trump's urging got pardoned and Trump wants to pay them for their treason.

Major independent media watchdog organizations across the United States uniformly rate The Gateway Pundit as highly biased and severely unreliable. The platform maintains a consistent track record of publishing fabricated content and unverified conspiracy theories.

The burden of proof is yours — you need to prove your claim with evidence from a reliable source. 'Nope' from a cult member doesn't quite cut it.

How soon we forget that lefties were claiming Trump was lying about the attack on the Texas ICE facility.

Now, they're claiming he's lying about vandalism at the Reflecting Pool.

He wasn't lying then (and the 50-100 year sentences prove it) and he isn't lying now.

Edit: BTW, I hope the Dems and lefties keep protesting in favor of pond scum (and criminal aliens). It worked so well in 2024, they need to stay on that bandwagon.

This is Total B/S It is NOT a liner it is a spray on polyurea-polyurethane hybrid coating Very similar to an epoxy where two components are mixed together to make a catalyzed product. the product used is called Pipeliner 5000

Someone did not tear it and pull it. That’s kind of the dumbest thing I’ve heard in this whole situation. Try taking any paint or coating that’s properly applied and see if you can tear it up. And you cannot cut it with a knife News flash: it’s impossible.

This product is not suitable for this application as it is light sensitive

First, these coatings are very climate-sensitive. If done in direct sunlight, it could cause the product to cure too quickly and not adhere to the concrete. Also, if the concrete was not properly prepared at the time and not grinded down properly, the coating would not be able to soak in. Additionally, moisture could have been in the ground at the time of application.

Ultimately, the issue isn’t the coating or anything done to the reflecting pool after installation. The most likely cause of the issue is the prep done by the contractor who did the job. Vandalism caused the product to peel. This is impossible if installed correctly. The closest thing I can compare the products they used to is an epoxy floor in garage or commercial floor. If you know what I’m talking about then you’d understand that it is physically impossible to make it peel unless it was installed improperly.or the wrong coating chosen

And now ducks swimming in it are dying.

Can we PLEASE put an end to all this winning?

Lefties. Cheering for pond scum. Yup. The perfect metaphor.

I don't recall any conservatives vandalizing Obama's "improvements".

And I do not recall any evidence of anyone vandalizing the reflection pond currently. Let's keep an eye on "evidence" presented to the citizen Grand Jury and, if trials are held. evidence presented to citizen Trial Juries. Methinks, tempest in a tea cup that will end up with costs dismissing most if not all charges ... if it ever gets that far.

So much talk of vandalism and sabotage! For several days I was convinced that the vandalism was the work of Messrs Obama and Clinton, masterminded by Biden.

I am now coming round to the view that it is the fiendish work of Giorgia Melloni - no doubt security footage will emerge which shows a small blonde in a tan trouser suit casting spells and releasing algae into the pool.

Of course it could just be a cock up, but surely that is unlikely?

Hardly likely to be Trumps cock UP.

Perhaps you missed it, but the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution notes that Americans have the right of free speech.

Perhaps if Trump had awarded the contract fairly, to people who knew what they were doing, instead of just being donors and sycophants, this debacle would not have happened.

Also, Trump has goosed this by his childish temper tantrum and typical blame game by screaming "vandalism", despite there being zero proof.

Perhaps also, seeing that this riles Trump, folks have decided to rub algae into the Trump would by cheering on the algae growth.

For those upset triggered by the schadenfreude, coloring books and blankets are probably being made available at the White House Grift Shop. Like their messiah, MAGAs are rather snowflakey.

he just got caught lying again, this time the CNN reporter, that he insulted, provided more then enough supporting evidence to contradict his claims, poor Donnie the master of the stupid comments

On CNN’s “The Source With Kaitlan Collins” Tuesday, Collins resurrected a receipt of Trump boasting last month about how durable his controversial, multimillion-dollar renovations have made the pool — so much so that he directly bragged that a knife wouldn’t even be able to damage it.

“This will last for at least 50 years. You’ll never have a leak,” the president said in the clip. “It’s very strong. You couldn’t, if you had a knife — I don’t want to give anybody ideas. If you had a knife, you can’t even cut it. So strong, so powerful, it’s like powerful rubber. It is beautiful. Sealed.”

The company that did it seem to agree that they are at fault and not vandalism. They will repair it under warranty. If it was vandalism why would a company admit to doing a poor job?

Reflecting pool issues were known to workers before vandalism claims

Despite Trump's assertions of sabotage and the pool being "beautifully new," workers observed issues with nano bubblers and peeling paint shortly after the $14 million refurbishment was completed in early June.
