We’ve already got one slimy, fetid creature rampaging about DC with a virtual army of almost equally disgusting leeches. A radioactive swamp creature could only be an improvement ---

Will it be a good Conservative radioactive swamp creature, or a radical libtard Dumocrat radioactive swamp creature? ---

hydrogen peroxide is temporary at best, the dead algae needs to be cleaned or it provides nutrients for the next batch. I care for some pools here, pump powered filter beds of substrate make ponds crystal clear…big project for a body of water that size. Chem solutions not really good for wildlife etc h202 changes ph over time, but not as toxic as othe products IME ---

> [@enipla](#): > > This is a reflection of every single project he has been involved in. Absolutely this. It’s a fable, a parable that sums up trump’s presidencies in a nutshell, emphasis on the _nut_. The reflecting pond debacle has it all–arrogance, short-sightedness, stupidity AND ignorance, butting in and breaking stuff that was working fine, leaving things in a bigger mess than before the butting-in, a mess that will cost more money and effort to fix something that didn’t need fixing…it goes on and on.

He doesn’t care much for California, that’s obvious, but it turns out that there’s an island in the middle of San Francisco Bay that’s got a terrific view of the City, and I’m sure it could be renovated suitably for him. ---

@Civil_Guy. Hmmm…as I recall, it already has a large, ummm, _residential_ structure on it that could be spray-painted gold all over, amirite? Planes in the air and ships at sea could spot it from a distance. It would be like a monument. Or even a mausoleum. That would appeal to him… ---

That’s the one. It might already be federal property, even. Regardless, I’m sure that there would be a lot of local support for the idea. ---

I think _ **Algae '28** _ would be supported by the MAGA crowd, since it’s divisive by nature… > The simplest forms multiply by splitting in two (binary fission) or by simple **fragmentation** , where a piece of the alga breaks off and grows into a new organism ---

Then: the ‘fix the algae problem’ contract will obviously be a no-bid one—a gift to some Trump supporter who will join the legions of other supporters he’s enriched. Undoubtedly this was Putin’s main piece of advice, back at that infamous 2016 Helsinki summit. _'Spread the taxpayer dollars around—don’t put them all in your own accounts. By spreading them around, you build an army of fanatical supporters who will keep you in power, because you are making them rich._’ [https://www.npr.org/2018/07/17/629601233/trumps-helsinki-bow-to-putin-leaves-world-wondering-whats-up](https://www.npr.org/2018/07/17/629601233/trumps-helsinki-bow-to-putin-leaves-world-wondering-whats-up) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-has-the-disgraced-convicted-felon-former-but-once-again-president-trump-pissed-you-off-today-part-2/1013964.md?page=253) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-has-the-disgraced-convicted-felon-former-but-once-again-president-trump-pissed-you-off-today-part-2/1013964.md?page=255)
