      Every fucking thing that happens under their watch is someone else’s fault

      I wonder if The Onion readership is down since we are living in this suck-ass reality?

    3. How long before we have the national guard patroling the reflection pool for aggressive algae

      Nothing unites politicians quite like discovering a problem and immediately introducing the previous administration as a character in the story.

      He’s so enamored by Obama, he wishes so much he could be Obama, all he can do for is image is loathe Obama because he knows he will never be what Obama is.

      He’s such a pisswank because he knows he’s a lesser man and refuses to accept that.

      If the bubblers are supposed to clean the pool, why were crews dumping hydrogen peroxide into the pool?

    7. 14 million where reality contractor probably pocketed at least 12 of it and did the cheapest shit possible. The only way the reflecting pool doesn’t have all these issues is by actually having the water running and filters etc lol. Idk wtf they thought draining and painting would even do

      Obama and Biden living rent free in his mind. His mind is empty too, so lots of room for them to spread out!

      Hire Oklahoma contractors, get Oklahoma results

      Look at that state and how they rank in everything while they borrow, borrow, and never balance their budget.

      It’s an incompetent state and the only reason Oklahoma contractors got the job is because of Markwayne Mullin who sucks.

      > The nanobubbler technology has successfully destroyed the algae bloom that has plagued every pool reopening since 1922, most infamously, the Obama pool reopening that resulted in massive algae clumps taking over the pool’s surface,” the spokesperson said.

      And they didn’t know this WHY? This should have been included in the scope when putting together the proposal for painting.

      Why Obama and not Biden? Is shit for brains and his crew forgetting what year it is?

      I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that they (Trump) painted the bottom a dark blue that attracts more heat and there for more algae, no I’m sure it was Obama

      Haha Trump must’ve seen Obama’s gorgeous Chicago Community Center, Park, Museum, Gallery, Library which opens this Thursday and decided Obama needed to own Trump’s Big Green Disaster.

      This is all Trump-he didn’t shut up and took full credit for it until day two when it turned green & chunky.
