Wait someone dumped Trump at a golf course?

No. Dump Trumped at White House.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 38 points 3 weeks ago

I'm more concerned about the walking, talking toxic debris wandering around the White House

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 36 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

sigh. Of course they did. They've been dumping East Wing debris on East Potomac Links for months. And now they're planning to "renovate" those links. I can't figure out what incredibly cheap Trump-branded idiocy is going to end up there, but I'm sure something will. Now with added toxic waste!

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

It'll probably be his presidential coloring book library

I can't figure out what incredibly cheap Trump-branded idiocy is going to end up there, but I'm sure *something* will. Now with added toxic waste!

Well given that it’s a dump-site on a golf course I’ll wager something to do with a pit full of the refuse and a bulldozer.

[–] AmazingSUPERG@thelemmy.club 24 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Was it a Trump course or the competition?

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

Public course. Basically how Trump treats the US.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It was just Trump based on that headline

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lead and zinc are a given, if the rubble contains anything that was painted before the 1970's. Government contractors used lots of leaded paint, white paint esp.

[–] Fetus@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Roof flashings could be made of lead as well.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, most definitely for a building of that age.

[–] plz1@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago

Not reading it, but easily assumed it'd have, at minimum, lead and asbestos, based on the age.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

Don't tell me, it's a public golf course isn't it?

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

Better to dump it on the golf course than in the river or forest for example.

[–] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (7 children)

I'd rather toxic waste be dumped at a golf course than in wildlife habitat. Am I supposed to feel bad for these bougie assholes who already destroyed said habitat for their stupid game?

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

True. Golf courses are famously meticulously quarantined environments where large-scale toxic waste would never leak out into the surrounding environment. I totally forgot too that "golf course" and "wildlife habitat" were both mutually exclusive and the only options for toxic waste disposal.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago

unfortunately golf course are quite polluting thier runoffs will pollute nearby water sources.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

strong "we towed it outside the environment" energy

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's actually a national park with ~20 dollar tee fees. If you're going to access the game for cheap anywhere it would be places like this. Until Trump sells it to his buddies or builds a giant dick monument at any rate.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

They should seize the means of the five iron! They have nothing to lose but a stroke under lead!

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure most golf courses are already mostly toxic pesticides and fertilizer anyway. And full of toxic people

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

thats what ruined a nearby lake that used to have fish in it, in the west coast. a golf course which ''rich people" including trump had visited in the past.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

This is par for the course as a T* sponsored demolition.

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Did they use it to further bury the DEAD EPSTEIN VICTIMS that they buried at the golf course?

[–] buttmasterflex@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Shit, what about the giant clouds of asbestos dust that wafted through DC when the demo happened? They absolutely did not do any of the required sampling, abatement, or control measures throughout the surprise demo.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Officer Obie is gonna be pissed.
