Reflecting Pool Party
The Reflecting Pool Saga has been an amusing synecdoche for this administration’s incompetence. Unlike everything else they’ve touched, no actual people have been killed (yet, and sorry to diminish the lives of those poor ducks), although several have been arrested for touching the paint that JJ Carafo was paid $1.7 million to slap on there before it immediately started peeling.
Somehow people manage to maintain large pools throughout the world, even in Florida, without them becoming toxic sludge within a week. But every contractor who knows what they’re doing knows Trump doesn’t honor contracts, so only grifters were left to do the grifter-in-chief’s work for his tacky 250th July 4th celebrations in DC.
Our country stinks, but I’ll be celebrating anyway, eating lobster rolls somewhere away from all the tourists in Boston for the holiday, and watching illegal fireworks neighbors smuggled south from New Hampshire. I hope you’ll be having some fun over the long weekend too.
