BREAKING: HELL YES! Trump gets hit with a massive lawsuit over his hideous "renovations" to the Lincoln Memorial Reflect

[riversedge]

This will go to the SC no doubt.
But MY hope is ==at least, if Nothing else, the non reflective pool as it stands right now--
will NOT be done for Trumps Birthday party!!==recall that trump is making the USA 250th birthday HIS birthday.



BREAKING: HELL YES! Trump gets hit with a massive lawsuit over his hideous "renovations" to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

This is what he cares most about in the entire world...

“A blue-tinted basin is more appropriate to a resort or theme park,” stated Charles A. Birnbaum, head of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, which is bringing the suit.

“The Reflecting Pool should not be viewed in isolation; it is part of the larger ensemble of designed landscapes that comprise the National Mall," said Birnbaum. "The design intent, to create a reflective surface that is subordinate, is fundamental to the solemn and hallowed visual and spatial connection between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial."

Trump wants to slap an "American flag blue" coating on the iconic installation, giving it a tacky swimming pool aesthetic better suited to one of his failed Atlantic City casinos than a national monument. For a man obsessed with buildings and renovations, it's genuinely remarkable that he's never managed to cultivate so much as an ounce of good taste.

The suit, which has been filed in federal district court in D.C., seeks an emergency intervention to stop Trump's destructive project. It argues that under the National Historic Preservation Act, Trump was required to conduct proper consultations before making any changes. Similarly, the renovations violate the National Environmental Policy Act.

The best part of this lawsuit is how it's guaranteed to enrage Trump. As his illegal Iran War drags on pointlessly and the American economy is reduced to ashes, he has become more and more fixated on his White House ballroom and the Reflecting Pool renovations. Faced with the total collapse of his presidency, he's retreating into vanity projects. Now is the time to strip those away from him too!

1. That he thought it was just dandy to drive "the Beast" & an entire convoy over it just slays me...

Did the American people (largely) not see that video or photos? How can they not be as enraged as I am. To drive over the mall and the sacred reflecting pool like that. I know he is beyond caring, but wtf? Who was with him? Someone must have thought that beyond inappropriate. Damn!

6. MLK

he has to desecrate the site of one of Martin Luther King's finest life's moments.

And yes he's that petty.

11. I lived in DC. The reflecting pond is in an area that was marshland. It has sunken

over the years. That has added to its sometimes "untidy" appearance.

Regardless, the basis of a reflecting pool is that it is dark enough underneath that light doesn't reflect from the bottom of the pool, but instead reflects whatever is seen in light from above. As any swimming pool owner can attest, bright colored sides and bottom cause myriad ripples of light reflections and does not then reflect what is outside of the pool.

Trump turned it into a swimming pool. People will treat it as thus. The blue coloring is too bright.

17. Maybe that's his plan

And charge entry for a swim.

[BattleRow]

22. And make it restricted ...

[magicarpet]

26. He intends to invite 10 year old little girls to swim there in the nude for grampy donOLD the PEDO'S viewing pleasure

Girls deemed a 10 or a 9 in beauty appeal get to nude swim free for all day long.

Those girls deemed to be in the uglier category of 1 thru 8 appeal or even slightly over weight - will be charged $100 for one hour of nude swimming then they must go home with no return invite ever.

The president will rate the little girls himself and then digitally measure their privates for firmness and tightness.

Please come to enjoy the newly refurbished but now nude swimming - - Tr-Hump Reflective Pools.

8. Shh. Don't give him ideas.

[Totally Tunsie]

20. I predict rental cabanas surrounding the pool,

complete with cocktail waiters and sunscreen vendors - products manufactured and supplied by trump Industries, of course.

19. My favorite pictures from when we took the kids to DC

a couple of years ago (Biden's term) were of the Reflecting pool taken at night from the Lincoln Memorial.

We were so glad we went when we did.

4. The reflecting pool naturally grows algae and collects silt, which is why it is drained

and cleaned annually. The blue paint will only highlight this organic material and make it look awful. And even when it’s clean it just looks crassly commercial.

[BurnDoubt]

10. BLEACH...

It’s not just for Covid 19 anymore!!!!
(Please, please realize this is sarcasm!)

[AZ8theist]

15. You didn't need to tell us.

[magicarpet]

27. Ducks and geese frequent the water of the Reflective Pool area.

So bird dropping are an issue that needs to be periodically drained out and cleaned to remove. The bird traffic needs to be contended with by the maintenance crew.

Military marksmen or snipers with sentry guns can not be stationed around the pool to rid this area of bird traffic - obviously.

5. Taste

All his taste is in his mouth , the one with the Mc donald's palate

[Moostache]

7. I am reminded of a quote from a book I've been reading...

The book is by Joe Abercrombie, "Best Served Cold" a "grim-dark fantasy" novel of revenge (similar to "Game of Thrones" in tone and material, though not as much magic or dragons)...

In the end, we all turn to shit...but we don't have to be shitty people while we live.

Trump is a rotting pile of shit in badly fitting suits with a shorter and shorter horizon on his imminent demise . I cannot wait for the blessed news to ring out across the globe - Ding dong the dick is dead, which old dick? The Wicked Dick!

[calimary]

9. What a great quote!

“In the end, we all turn to shit...but we don't have to be shitty people while we live.”

Totally!

12. The notion of ....

Reflection is so much broader than the concept of images and light sources.

It's a concept so foreign to him and his extended cadre of psychopaths that they will never have the capacity to even entertain the notion. Ever.

18. President Psychopants...

... checks every one of those boxes!
And how the actual fuck does he get to make this decision unilaterally?
Oh. Right. The most corrupt Supreme Court majority in American history gave him the inalienable right to destroy the country from within, and plaster his obscene name all over everything in sight.

13. I am wondering...

If the lining is UV stable. I would wager that they are using a polyurea. If it isn’t several things can happen which would likely result in the reflecting pool not looking like His Idiocy would want. One thing is color change.

[BattleRow]

23. He really wanted it orange...

For mirror reflection...

[FakeNoose]

14. Is there any way to see this other than clicking on Xwitter?

Asking for a million friends ...

[Rob H.]

16. I genuinely wonder how long it's going to take to de-tackify everything

once The Count of Mostly Crisco is out of office. No doubt it'll be expensive to undo all the eyesores he's leaving in his wake, too.

[ihaveaquestion]

24. Well, it takes me about half a second, give or take to spill my coffee all over my laptop...

Cleanup can go on for literally months as I find more and more nooks and crannies that have been coffified....

Not sure what that ratio is, but I bet it's about the same for the cleanup after shitzoid mcshitzinpantz.

21. He should be arrested for destruction of government property for what

he did to the White House. Surprised Susan Collins is not screaming about that.
