Make Algae Grow Again!
Happy cake day.
I think we’re going to see a lot of cake days for the next few weeks because there was a big exodus from the bad place a few years ago this time of year.
So he didn't drain the swamp, he created it.
The algae is still there, like the corrupt scum who gave his buddies taxpayer's money to pretend to get rid of it.
Of course! Everyone forgets that the plumbing under that pool is old, leaking and the algae is in the entire system, including the parts of it they didn't flush.
Typical Trump construction. Just the parts people can see, the rest of it - the parts that actually make it work - gets ignored.
Why would Joe Biden do this?
Kinda swampy…
Who could have known the Mar A Lago pool boy is really only good at bang Trump's wives.
Want to know how to keep a reflecting pool that size green? A couple bags of water soluable fertilizer (20-20-20) per week. Needs to be urea or ammonium based.
Free ammonia and phosphate in the water promotes the insanelynrapid growth of the algae that cause green water like that.
Also couple hundred people peeing in the pool nightly would also do the trick.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh it's stupidity that turn the water green.
The decomposing shit in the filtration system from being turned off for weeks released free ammonia when they turned it back on. This triggered a massive algae bloom.
It was easily preventable by flushing the system before they turned it back on.
In order to fix it they need to clear out all the detritus in the pool and add a flocculent. It should then clear up in around a week.
In order to keep it green all summer, it needs a little help.
Well when all you do is slap a new coat of paint on it without repairing any of the aging and broken filtration system, of course its going to get an algae bloom pretty much instantly.
Fucking morons and grifters. Goddamn bloodbath for our already fucked national finances
That’s ok, Trumps buddy gets to keep the 20% profit he was guaranteed as part of the no-bid contract.
Nono. He'll get a follow-up contract to do this weekly, now
Yeah, but at least it's tall.
