    What’s so stupid about this is why would a president ever have any input on something so trivial? Seriously, should he oversee the toilet paper purchasing in the capitol too?

      Please, let him be distracted by stupid shit like that. Instead of declaring wars, kidnapping presidents and committing numerous war crimes and other crimes against humanity.

    "Democrats shit in my pants, AGAIN? Impossible!!! It had to be an inside job… These are $700 trump brand security pants with AI anti-diarrhea technology in the butt and real gold Bible verses stitched into the crotch to repel gay boners?

    Alternatively, the Orange Idiot thinks that he can offset the cost overruns by skimping on chlorine.

    I can’t wait for Trump’s executive order against photosynthesis.

    "Look, nobody knows plants better than me, okay? Nobody. I have the best plants, the greenest leaves, people come up to me with tears in their eyes and they say, “Sir, how do your lawns look so beautiful?” It’s true.

    But then you look at what the Radical Left is doing. They’re obsessed with this thing—they call it photosynthesis. Have you heard about this? Photosynthesis. It’s a disaster. A total scam. They want you to believe that the trees, the grass, even the little weeds are just sitting there, working for free, taking the beautiful, glorious sunlight—which I’ve always said is doing a fantastic job, by the way—and turning it into energy. They say it’s “green energy.” You see what they’re doing there? They’re using the plants to push their Green New Deal!

    And the algae. Don’t get me started on the algae. I call them Sleepy Algae. They’re in the lakes, they’re in the oceans—billions and billions of them, totally unregulated. They don’t pay taxes, they don’t buy American-made products, and they’re out there producing oxygen. Millions of gallons of oxygen every day, totally bypassing our incredible oil refineries. It’s a disgrace.

    They want to replace our beautiful, clean coal with pond scum! They really do. Fake News CNN won’t report it, but the plants are working with the Democrats to undermine everything we’ve built. We are going to stop it, folks. We’re going to bring back real, traditional American energy, and we are going to make our gardens great again!"

    Anyone know if they use chloramine for treatment? Very likely as chlorine doesn’t do well against UV. It would be funny if they somehow pumped directly from the Potomac.

    Trump gave the algae water. Everyone knows he should have given them Brawndo. It has electrolytes.

    It’s amazing since all I kept hearing for the past month as this was being done was that this does nothing to fix the underlying issues and that its just going to be the same as it was within weeks due to the heat and low water level. If anything it would be worse due to the dark paint used to absord more heat. Now were here and exactly what was predicted happened and people really blaming shit on more crazy lies lol. These people are beyond nuts.

      Sounds like the average large project with multiple project managers.

      “I want this done before the deadline and under budget”

      “But , we dont have the budget for engineering or research and that deadline isnt enough time to do the work properly”

      “I dont care. Do it”

      *project gets done, very shoddy work, has tons of issues in the future that could have been avoided with proper engineering *

      Cue the most idiotic person (manager) getting a raise because of their "hard work and being viewed as a “visionary” when in reality theyre a dumbfuck with a big mouth. The American way.

    They don’t even stop and think about how utterly fucking ridiculous these accusations are. I bet you dollars to donuts that near the DC monuments there are cameras everywhere. Where’s the footage of these evil Dems dumping buckets of algae in the pool? Any (reliable) eyewitness reports? Any scientists taking samples and maybe seeing if the algae was recently disturbed/transplanted?

    I mean, I get it, their feelings mean more to them than facts and evidence, but c’mon, man. This is a 4th grade level critical thinking exercise.

      They are just that dumb. Half of all Americans are complete and utter morons. Like we have our fair share of idiots in Europe, but most of our idiots seem to be a lot smarter those MAGA people.

      Clearly their pool guy is a dirty dem. He purposely let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low so the the chlorine was useless…

        You know more about water chemistry than most of my coworkers at my power plant. I get so tired of telling them to watch the tower pH and make sure the acid is running in auto so the hypo will actually fucking do something. It’s a miracle that our condenser performance isn’t trashed by fouling. I’ve caught tower pH at fucking 9 before when it’s supposed to be 7.0-7.5, and I’m trying to push for 6.8-7.2.

          Better than when cooling water is supplied with an expensive reverse osmosis unit which then proceeds to corrode the entire carbon steel cooling water system due to pH of 5.5 since everyone is convinced water so pure can’t do any damage.

        let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low

        Did you mean to word it this way? Rising pH means increasing alkalinity. If the alkalinity is getting lower, then the pH is dropping.

          No, “alkalinity” is confusingly another term for water hardness or buffer capacity in English (for historical reasons I guess?).

          I meant Total Alkalinity as a buffer, either way the water is out of balance causing any chlorine (if any) to be ineffective and letting Alagae grow.
