Utopia Talk / Politics / Reflect pool covered in algae days after

williamthebastard rank	Tue Jun 16 06:55:12 Blames Obama. Lol. Luckily, after the 1.5 million budget was increased by 1000% and accomplished nothing, he's going to continue breaki- renovating it in the fall.

Habebe rank	Wed Jun 17 04:59:47 why does the US reflecting pool keep getting algae, is this new? like why is this a new problem? No—algae in the Lincoln Memorial **Reflecting Pool** is **not a new problem**. It's a long-standing, recurring issue that's happened repeatedly for over a decade. The recent algae is especially visible because it appeared just **one day after the pool was refilled** following a **$14.2 million renovation** that ended in early June 2026 . ### Why algae keeps appearing: | Factor | Explanation | |--------|-------------| | **Dormant supply lines** | The algae is "residual"—leftover from supply lines that sat **inactive for 8 weeks** during construction [1] | | **Water source** | The pool uses water from the **Tidal Basin** (from the Potomac River), which isn't clean pool water and contains nutrients algae feed on [2] | | **Summer conditions** | Algae thrives in **warm, stagnant water** with bright sunlight—conditions common in Washington, D.C. summers [3][4] | | **Shallow depth** | The pool is very shallow, so it heats up quickly, accelerating algae growth (can multiply in just **3 days** in hot weather) [2] | ### This isn't new: - Algae bloomed **two months after the 2012 renovation** ($34 million), forcing officials to drain the pool again and double ozone levels [5][3] - The Interior Department calls this a **"standard part of the startup procedure"** when reactivating the pool [1][5] ### What's being done: The National Park Service installed a new **ozone nanobubbler filtration system** designed to neutralize nutrients algae need to grow [1][5]. Crews are currently flushing and cleaning the residual algae [6]. So while it looks like a "new" problem because of the timing after renovations, algae has been the pool's persistent scourge for over 10 years [5].

Rugian rank	Wed Jun 17 12:45:41 Why are we talking about a fucking pool?
murder rank	Wed Jun 17 13:04:10 Because he can't always talk about his fucking ballroom. -
Habebe rank	Wed Jun 17 15:18:08 Rugian, Well, WTB has insecurity issues which demands he constantly find ways to ket people known that he is somehow superior to someone regardless of how trivial(Im sure you have taken notice of his usual threads) Me? I kept hearing snippets about the reflecting pool, but didnt know why this algae has recently become a problem so I asked AI and copied/pasted my question/response.
williamthebastard rank	Wed Jun 17 18:34:32 It once would have been amazing that the largest news source in a Western country literally stands in front of you and tells you that green is blue. Ahhh, the good old days when sanity and insanity hadnt swapped places http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLrKS3Ym7l8
williamthebastard rank	Wed Jun 17 18:36:05 I mean: http://youtu.be/lLrKS3Ym7l8?t=65 Lol. Bottle green is sky blue! Never, ever believe your own eyes, Maga patients!
williamthebastard rank	Wed Jun 17 18:37:22 "No other president would clean it!" - Fox News, the serious voice of important Maga news. lol
williamthebastard rank	Wed Jun 17 22:42:48 Because, Rugina, as well you know but are pretending not to know, because your entire political ideology is just to lie like a stupid child - your sickeningly stupid cunt colleagues have been using this as hysterically stupid evidence of Trumps political competence and political innocence and infantile Dem trickery worthy of the mental 10-year-olds you all are, you fake little cunt. You knew this already, but since yuor creed is to always lie, I will allow 15 seconds of my time to be wasted on your Golden Globe-worthy acting performance.

williamthebastard rank	Fri Jun 19 11:43:24 He just breaks everything he touches. You know the WH will still be a pile of rubble when they finally wheel him out of there.
murder rank	Fri Jun 19 13:25:46 I hope so. It's horribly outdated and has been defiled. Raze it and build something new. -

Habebe rank	Fri Jun 19 21:04:26 I agree with Murder, we could use a new building.
williamthebastard rank	Sat Jun 20 11:49:56 The owner of the no bid-pool company is of course a buddy of trump, neighbour in mar a lago, trump donator, criminal record for corruption etc lol
Rugian rank	Sat Jun 20 12:30:35 "Raze it and build something new." We've seen what happens when the left tries to build things. No thanks. https://en...:Obama_library_spring_2025.png
murder rank	Sat Jun 20 16:33:22 I have no idea what that Obama thing is supposed to be or why. -
tumbleweed rank	Sun Jun 21 04:39:33 much like Iran: after a waste of money, things now worse off than before it began but fuckhead trying to blame vandals for the complete shit show: " Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool. It hasn’t looked or worked like this since 1922, when it was originally built, but even then, it leaked badly, and didn’t work. Ours worked perfectly, including the mirror like finish, perfectly reflecting the two Great Monuments, which it never had before! What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly. We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible. What they have damaged does not even include the earlier killing of a large amount of grass which was, by far, the least of it. They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete. They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool. The Reflecting Pool was never so beautiful as it was just one week ago, even going back to 1922 when it opened. We are very proud of what we have done with this magnificent structure, and we will get it repaired, quickly, to an equal level of Beauty. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP " https://tr...Trump/posts/116785296448420208 most likely the shit peeling as he made it a rush job... or his no-bid personal swimming pool contractors didn't know what they were doing
murder rank	Sun Jun 21 15:49:04 Trump has deployed armed soldiers to protect the former reflecting pool from vandals. lol :o) -
