    President Donald Trump drained the pool Monday, insisting vandals had left a 300-yard gash in its lining. But reporters and on-the-ground onlookers told CNN they saw no gash.

    Holy shit, trump… lying!!! NO WAY! He would NEVER lie! he’s such an upstanding old gentleman!!

    Personally, I’m just kind of surprised that there was a motorcade in the damn thing to begin with. Nobody even puts boats in that, let alone cars.

    Who cares about the pool, it’s a distraction of the most obvious kind.

    What I’m wondering now is whether the USA can recover from this utter disconnection of the executive from truth and reality.

    There is now a undeniable precedent of just lying continuously while in office, to essentially no consequence.

    This sets a new floor for what you can do while in power. How this doesn’t break US American politics durably, I don’t know.

    The only morons who will give a shit about this damn reflecting pool are the MAGA dumbfucks. Use it as a urinal until the regime changes.

    The best proof that the gash doesn’t exist is that they haven’t plastered pictures of it everywhere, and seem to have actually put black fabric over the fencing to block everyone’s view of the empty pool.

    More effort has gone to an investigation into Trump being embarrassed than Trump raping children. Never forget who sits in the white house or who continues to make that possible. They use the law for self interest, not to build us a better world.

      MSMS, its by design, they are all owned by epstein likely related ceos, and that last thing they want is reporting epstein files. they quickly quashed all news negative of trump(report it for a few days, then vanish). ELLison, murdoch, they learned thier lesson when reporting on luigi, Mandamni , and the ice raids , give it too much attention, everyone will be instantly aware, instead its flood the network with nonsense(trumps gaffes, this also includes iran wars of distraction)

          Yeah they’ve been putting out videos on the infowars YouTube page.

          In case you hadn’t heard, Alex Jones popped like a balloon in his car. Seems like other news outlets are afraid to report on it…

            It’s weird how Richard Linklater either makes movies that I love (like Slacker and Dazed and Confused) or movies that make me want to find him and hit him in the head with a brick. Waking Life was probably his worst movie ever (only Blue Moon is a contender) and it’s just bonus points that it also happened to introduce the world to Alex Jones.

    I saw some video thumbnail - can’t find it now - talking about how Donvict’s 900 foot gash was the drainage system?

    A while ago I saw the old video before it got filled…

    Literally while they were still painting/sealing it, trump full on drove his full motorcade into the reflecting pool so he could see the color and speak at reporters.

    I immediately figured that’s why it got fucked up.

    “The Beast” that the president rides in is a fucking tank and insanely heavily, driving normal SUVs would have been dumb, but there’s no way that thing didn’t fuck it up.

      I’ve heard it contested whether ‘The Beast’ was used, so I went and Found a video myself.

      I personally don’t see ‘The Beast’ out there.

      That said, I do think any of those massive Cadillacs could have caused the damage.

        That may not be “The Beast” but it’s just as heavily armored and started from a larger frame, so I think it’s a safe bet to equate the two even if that’s not officially “The Beast”.

        Like, I don’t think it’s been one vehicle thru all these administrations.

        I always took “The Beast” to refer to a heavily armored vehicle the president routinely travels in. Like how “Marine 1” is just whatever helicopter the president is using, or how trump got off Air Force 1 and got one a different air force 1 a few weeks ago.

        While a lot less official “The Beast” isn’t a single vehicle either.

        I’m dead, this is so ridiculous.

        10 pickups driving directly inside the pool for a single orange guy…

        Ever if “The Beast” itself isn’t used, I’m pretty sure a lot ,f the rest of the motorcade vehicles are all armored with various additional bells and whistles so they probably outweigh standard SUVs by a good bit. I’m pretty sure one of the motorcade vehicles usually has a mini gun turret that pops out of the roof.

        Also, I haven’t seen anything specific about it, but I do believe the beast is at or near the end of its intended service life and i saw a few months back some article that pointed out that he was seen in an Escalade-looking vehicle instead of the beast at some event, so there might possibly be a new beast making it’s way into service, but they weirdly haven’t made any major announcements about it yet (I wouldn’t be too surprised by any other president being a bit tight-lipped about it, but trump absolutely would not be the type to shut up about “his” new custom Cadillac.)

      I assumed this was some kind of typo or something. They drove into the pool?

        To be fair:

        It was while there was no water in it.

        And trump obviously wasn’t in control of the vehicle directly, but I’d put money on them at first trying to park next to it, and trump being so lazy he ordered them to drive into the reflecting pool

          I’d bet he did it as a stunt to show how durable the liner is.

          “Look, the liner is so strong, the strongest, so strong that I can drive a car, not a car really, a limo, but a big limo, a big beautiful limo, more tank than limo if you ask me, but I can drive, I drive the best, ask anyone, but I didn’t drive, I have people to drive for me, they drove my limo, tank really, onto the reflecting pool, it’s gonna be beautiful, believe me, it’s beautiful already, and I know a thing or two about beauty, well they drove my car, all my limos, onto the reflecting pool, that’s a funny word, limo, is short for limousine, did you know that, I bet you didn’t know that. Limousine, like magazine, a big beautiful magazine, this reflecting pool will be in magazines, they’ll see it and go “oh, it’s beautiful Mr. President, we want our whole magazine to be picture of your pool” they wouldn’t do that though, the mainstream media, they wouldn’t report on how strong and beautiful this pool is, they just want to attack. They want to attack me for trying to fix it. 168 million dollars. Obama had 168 million dollars and we did it for 8, or maybe 14. It’s going to be perfect, believe me. It’s perfect.”

          I want to say it would have been better if he’d driven through it while there was water in it, but it’s nowhere near deep enough for that to be true.

      as soon jean e carroll recieved 5 million judgement from trump, he does something drastic in the news.(such as the 20% hormuz toll he since rescinded), plus the convenient news of mitch and mcconnels and lindseys death and health.
