It’s a joke, referring to Trump having his motorcade drive along the pool’s surface during the project, before the water was put back in.
Actually my joke was a riff on what Horatius said (bolding mine):
Well, one less for the 7/4 cookout at our house…
Well, they would have done it right, not like Trump.
I told my wife over the weekend, if Kamala had been elected that mall would be packed.
Reading this thread and seeing various videos I can’t help thinking about the song “Our State Fair” but with a slightly altered opening lyric: “This state fair ain’t a great state fair…”
Could Obama have done that? Perhaps if he hadn’t been planning a well attended party in Chi-town that featured Stevie Wonder, Bruce Sprinsteen, Christina Aguilara, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Vedder, Common, The Roots and others.

Come on, that loser didn’t even desecrate one national monument for that! /s
NGL I did a coffee spit when I saw this post! ![]()
As a foreigner, if I was in Washington DC right now, I’d want to see the sights: the Smithsonian, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery, and so on.
Silly foreigner. None of those have Trump’s name on them (yet). How could you possibly have any interest in seeing them?
We will have a party like no other when Trump is removed.
As I mentioned before, I took advantage of the holiday to buy the second biggest box of fireworks Costco has in anticipation. It was $100; the biggest was $200 but I’m not spending that much on that asshole, even in celebration of his demise.
Just like this cockamamie parade idea: mostly wrong.
I’ve rarely felt as much Hope in the past 18 months as when the military failed to gratify Donald’s obvious wish for “Heil, Dear Leader” spit-and-polish. No synchronized goose-stepping, no turns to salute DL with precise snaps.
Well done, US Military!
Anyway, on the “Great American State Fair” debacle: many note that the odds are good at least HALF of those we see in photos and video of the concourse are actually journalists, there to document the sparse attendance.
I finally found a picture of the Oregon booth (Oregon did not participate). Maine got two chairs to our one, and theirs had cushions. But ours is a rocking chair, we have a picture of a “beaver” that appears to be a stuffed gopher prop from Caddyshack, and we got side tables to put your drink on as you sit, head in hands, pondering the choices that led you to the Oregon booth at this shitshow of a fair. So I’ll consider it a draw.
I note that there is no hint of the existence of Portland in any of the photos.
Are all states trolling him now? The displays are all really pathetic. I didn’t think Oregon was going to attend.
Once again, the states do not put up their own displays if they do not participate. They are shitty on purpose to slight them.
If that’s what it is, they should have set up a DNF trophy. Or did not participate medal.
And what about Indianas miniture golf ‘course’? Did someone in Indiana actually think that was a good idea? And I know that Indiana is perhaps boring, but miniture golf as a state symbol?
If they were told something like “You’ll have a 4 foot square space to work with”, what are you gonna do? And Indiana love loves Trump.
Looks like the Overgrown Evergreen State’s rocker next door has cushions. Don’t know whether that’s an advantage or not.
(The Soviet of Washington, like Oregon, chose not to participate.)
And Indiana love loves Trump.
This, and ISTR that another state also has miniature golf in their pavilion.

Reportedly South Carolina. Perhaps because their northern neighbor, the birthplace of American minigolf, declined to participate?
And Florida. Mini-golf is evidently the #1 attraction at the fair. It couldn’t be that these states are trying to kiss up to the golfer in chief, could it?
And as noted in the publication, this particular “President’s Own” elite band’s members are exempt from completing regular recruit training and from “secondary combat role” (aka “every Marine a rifleman”). By contrast someone joining as a regular musician in the applicable MOS or rating (depending on service), must audition to qualify but also complete the usual entry and continuing training requirements of enlisted personnel.
