Obama hasn't been president for a decade. This is so stupid I feel like my brain cells are committing suicide.
but the magats will eat it up. #BlameObama
You have braincells left?
At least one left to write thi

Incredible, just few hours ago I read a sarcastic piece how Trump will blame this mess on Obama. And now he did it for real.
Nothing new, but this orange piece of shit is the bigest joke the human race has ever brought up. And americans voted him into office..... TWICE. 10 facepalms a second are not enough for this epic failure....
I eat the Onion every damn time now because it's literally the same headlines as the actual news.
He cheated and rigged the election twice. Most Americans aren’t THAT dumb.
Even if, big enough of a margin would have to vote for him to hide the cheating. This sucker doesn't deserve 1 vote, but has gotten a big chunk of legit votes regardless.
I'm a bit sceptical... Who wrote this article and what were it's sources? Could it be AI with The Onion as a source? Wouldn't be the first time a satirical article was used as a source for a real news paper.
He NEVER accepts responsibility for anything. It is truly amazing.
That’s why people like him and voted for him. MAGAts see themselves in Agent Orange. They all suffer from neurodegeneracy, because of all the chemicals they have been huffing since childhood. Dementia reduces empathy and increases self-centeredness, which are very similar symptoms to narcissism. And Trump is the most biglyiest narcissist on the planet, believe me.
Also not surprising that rural folk are Trump supporters, they breath in a higher than average amount of Monsanto chemicals every year.
That's literally what narcissism is. The circuitry in your brain that is responsible for feeling shame and guilt and finding fault within yourself just doesn't exist in an affected brain. The idea that something negative that happened could be his fault is like you trying to understand how 2+2 could possibly equal 5. It doesn't even cross your mind as a thing that's worth considering as a possibility.
I don't think he has a physical brain issue, he's just an utter arse because of his god awful father, which has left him with debilitating daddy issues, and the fact that he was born into wealth and never told no. All of which is not helped by the fact that he has an IQ that a 6-year-old would be embarrassed by, and has dementia on top of all of that.
It's because the fragility is so great, any bruise to the ego, however small, would shatter their sense of self. They literally can never find a fault in themselves because it would break them and then send them into a full on rage. I think that's why he has his outbursts. Things shatter his narcissistic bubble in a way that he can't refute and he just gets violent and loud as a result.
I don't think you fully understand how narcissistic personality disorder works. If a healthy person starts getting a little too full of themselve, either because of frequent success making them feel infallible, or the Dunning-Kruger effect making them think they know more than they do, they can be brought back down by a reality check, or an embarrassing failure that inescapably shows them that they too have flaws. That's the "shattering" or the "bubble" you're referring to. That's a healthy response. His mind literally doesn't have the capacity to choose "personal failure" as an option for the cause of ANYTHING except positive results, because it isn't even in the drop-down list. It's super tempting to just say that it's because he's an asshole (he is though), but it's a mental illness just like OCD, or schizophrenia. He could probably have masked it a little bit better when he was younger, but the clearly worsening dementia just makes it more obvious now.
This should be bare minimum litmus test for any representative or even an employee yet many people are simply too naive or dumb to realize this. I just don't understand how could you ever trust a person like that unless your goal is self harm.
Propaganda. Tradition. Wealth.
It's a sign of a weak man, to never admit ones mistakes while constantly blaming others...
Weak man with small hands.
Oh and also a pedophile. Not related to the pool, just stating the facts, so we don't forget. Pedophile with nuclear codes.
This guy has Obama Derangement Syndrome.
He is struggling to form new memories so he's stuck on Obama
Obama Derangement Syndrome
$14 million to expand the Swamp. Algae produces oxygen, leave it alone MAGA morons.
"Advanced nanobubbler technology"? That's what they're calling hydrogen peroxide now?
I'm confused.
At one point, the spokesperson is quoted as saying, "The nanobubbler technology has successfully destroyed the algae bloom that has plagued every pool reopening since 1922 ..."
But then they call it "advanced nanobubbler technology."
Is it more than a century old, or is it advanced? Pick one.
Also, it's happened every year for over a century, but it's totally Obama's fault
algae blooms have been happening every year since 1922, is pretty clear what that’s saying to me, and the spokesperson is claiming the nanobubbler has stopped that.
Because of course he blames Obama.
The Aussies are on a bender and fuck Donald Trump the sex offender
Obama was last president a decade ago
His dementia is so bad he thinks it's still 2018.
Well Obama was so powerful that he still controls the nation but he was also completely ineffectual at the same time. Win win!
Yeah but that no good Barrack "HUSSEIN" Obaam-a drove over to my pond and poured algae into it! I seent it!
They probably spent $100 on that and pocketed the millions. Corrupt as fuck.
Yeah, the dog murderer obviously and blarantly did that with that stupid ad depicting her on a horse.
Some More News' recent episode on maga morons seeing a sliver of concequences was kinda satisfying - seeing a serious person confront Kristi about where the fuck the money went was chefs kiss. The DOGE guys were also hilarious in such a terrible way. It isn't often a Some More News episode is so positive, it was kinda nice for a change.
Oh, absolutely. This is a classic real estate development kickback scheme, which is Trump's Bread & Butter. Why do you think he went on such a tear, renovating the pool, the ballroom, the Kennedy Center, the Arch, etc.? It allows him to hand pick his contractor, so he can choose a guy whom he knows will play ball.
Construction is such a shady industry it's really quite amazing. I assume it's global and not just North America.
This is what happens when you let the customer decide on the solution instead of the requirements.
"Obama shit my pants"
Do these people not understand that algae tends to grow in water unless the water is treated? For most previous administrations, this would be a rhetorical question, but in this case I’m honestly not sure.
It also happened in 2012 when the 2 year renovation was completed by Obama and it was pretty bad. I did check to make sure that was true but anyways the algae isn't that abnormal of an occurrence after work was done to it.
What is abnormal is how much focus has been placed on some algae and not the blatantly obvious grift of the taxpayer through the no bid contract that ballooned in cost. Yeah, fuck the algae and it does stem from some mismanagement - that will get cleaned up in the next week or so - but the real story is the disgusting level of corruption.
I just can't get over how wantonly, cartoonishly, absurd "is this even real life" levels of corruption the Trump administration has right now. I mean ... Fuck ... Carter gave up his peanut farm and now we're here?
What is happening to this nation in its 250th year is so ... Only older cringe AF millennials should see this so avert your eyes if you aren't one... >!... So so sooooooo retarded.!<
Apparently it’s been a problem for a while not a constant issue but off and on and I also don’t get it. Just chlorinate the shit out of it? I don’t know why putting a pool liner would matter either way but just nuke it with pool chemicals? It’s not like people go in there or drink it or anything
