A Tragedy on “The Strait of Warm-Ooze”

Trump gave a no bid contract to a donor to redo the Reflecting Pool and turned them loose with no oversight.

Had this all been done in a reasonable manner nothing would have ever been said about it. Had  the contract been let through normal channels, had the contractor been reputable, had the work not been “done by my birthday” and had process been held in higher regard than personality, we would not be talking about this.

But no.

It had to be done by the biggest White Trash Event in American history. It had to be done the way that Trump wanted it to be done, and when he wanted, and how he wanted, and that, my friends, is the problem and nothing else.

The problem was caused by one man wanting things his way and he got it. The solution was also his, and because everyone knows he doesn’t like to be told no, staffers were pouring gallons of Hydrogen Peroxide into the pool and clearly, that didn’t work. It actually made things worse, which is also something Trump is famous for.

But things went south in a bigly way. The algae bloom turned the pool a sickly color green usually associated with horror movies and Ghost Busters. That was bad enough. But the “American Flag Blue” paint that the pool was painted on Trump’s demand, began to peel away. Hydrogen Peroxide is a paint stripper, it seems. But it got even uglier. The seal that Trump wanted in the pool began to disintegrate and come loose.

Trump did what Trump does. He at first blamed Obama, who hasn’t been in office in a decade. He then blamed Biden.

Then came the photos of the Trump motorcade riding in the pool before it was filled with water. I’m not sure what sort of sealant or paint they used, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t designed for vehicle traffic.

Having no traction with blaming former presidents, Trump then went deep and declared “Antifa” did it, and arrested people who were doing more than taking giant flakes of paint out of the pool.

Then came the fences and razor wire to protect the green pond from terrorists.

All of this, every moment of this disaster has been paid for by taxpayers. And it’s just beginning. The damage has to be reversed. In a just and true world, the contractor would be on the hook for repairs. But in Trump World, the taxpayers pick up the tab for every whim and every mistake.

Had this not been “on time for my birthday” the process would have worked itself out. And even if issues had arisen, again, the contractor would have to pay.

But Trump will make you pay again, and again, and again, for his mistakes and vanity.

Take Care,

Mike

Admin note: Does anyone else think the pool contractor looks like a movie villain?

friday firesmith – the pedophile war

by

Whatever you’ve been told you’re going to get from the war with Iran, what you are actually getting is abundantly clear by this point. Gasoline prices have soared up to over three dollars a gallon and getting higher. Four bucks a gallon, or even more, is a given by the end of March.

At the end of March, we’ll see April roll around, then May, and finally Hurricane season in June.

Imagine a hurricane barreling down on New Orleans with gas already at four bucks a gallon.

With the Gulf of Mexico rigs out of production, even for a short while, we’re looking at gasoline prices somewhere around five bucks a gallon. If the war is still raging at that point, it might be considerably worse.

Higher gas prices during the spring means farmers, those who are left by this time, will pay much higher prices to plant, and to harvest, which means we’ll be paying even more for food by the middle of the summer.

By the teeth of hurricane season in September, we could be at the point farmers, those who could afford to plants, are unable to harvest. The states pounded by hurricanes could be looking at limited help from the government, and unable to pay for fuel to do search and rescue.

Hopefully, the Pedophile War, that war of distraction from a sitting president doing anything possible to distract from his crimes, will be over, but I doubt it. Trump knows he had to remain a moving target, creating one distraction after the next, regardless of what it costs the average American, or America herself.

Sadly, even if after midterm elections, even if Trump is impeached and removed from office, the forces that allowed something like this to happen are still in place. We still have a population of voters who believed everything Trump said and willingly followed him down his path of destruction and supported him at every turn.

We still have a government that doesn’t function well at all, and the two sides of the aisle in Washington are little more than bought and sold lackeys of corporate America.

We still lack the will to put a leash on campaign funds, or prosecute elected officials who are on someone else’s payroll other than the taxpayers.

House prices, food prices, fuel prices, medical care and transportation are all priced out of range for the average American, whose paychecks are getting smaller as government gets bigger, yet not better at all.

Trump is a cancer, that needs to be removed, and everyone paying attention knows this to be true. But the causes of this disease are still in place, and recurrence is 100% unless we change the way we run elections, and our schools.

The stench of Trump’s diapers might be gone when he goes, but we’ll be dealing with the same sh!t until we come together for real change.

Take Care,

Mike
