Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I hope they don't finish on time and it's a public fiasco. I mean, more so than it already is.
Before long we'll have our own Ryugyong Hotel going up.
Yeah, at this point I'm all for Trump's various vanity projects going through to completion. The eyesore of a ballroom, the giant tacky arch, the gold coins, the signature on the money, whatever else he can come up with in the short time he has left before McDonald's finishes him.
America needs scars from all this, physical reminders of what it did to itself and what it's capable of doing again someday.
All of those monuments to himself are profoundly attractive vandalism/terror targets
There are reflecting pools/fountains near me that are this unnatural blue.
Usually at the entrance to dive motels. They look like toilet water. Gross.
That’s not how you want high-end water features to look. It’s how you hide w nasty shit goes on in there after hours (like at Mar a Lago), and the blue is meant to (badly) disguise it.
I had a private pool,
And I’ve maintained public water features (pools,
Fountains,
Ponds,
Reflecting pools,
Etc)
You can smell this shade of blue – heavily over chlorinated and dirty. It tells you do not touch. It’s gross, and you’ll definitely catch something.

😑
It’s not - the original design intention was for it to be a reflecting pool. Orangeboi hears “pool” and automatically expects to see the sort of bright azure blue square that you see for swimming pools in warm states like Florida; thus, he got “his pool guy” to come and resurface the reflecting pool, though they were sane enough to talk him into a very dark blue (which will probably be less reflective than the surface that was there before, but orangeboi doesn’t care) (also, iirc it was recently resurfaced under the Obama administration, which I’m certain plays a role in his desire to resurface it, because orangeboi is racist as absolute fuck, on top of categorically hating Obama’s guts)
Just America things 🫠
We need to add a new rule to the eligibility rules.
No Florida Man.
The biggest thing with this fiasco is that he awarded the contract to his buddy. Blatant corruption
I'm surprised he has "a pool guy". Usually you'd want to be paid.
He probably knows where the literal bodies are buried under trumps pools.
His pool giy is making a whole lot off this contract. Millions of dollars of tax payer money
Sounds like they went and royally blue themselves
Hue hue :)
They are also at risk of not being paid.
When you fail at running government harder than you failed at running a casino.
There's a very high risk for the contractors working for Trump - that they won't get paid!
shouldve blasted it orange, or gold.
Someone should dump a bag a leaves in it once it's finished. Good luck keeping that thing looking clean.
Guess how little I care about anyone taking these contracts?
Nope, you guessed too much!
It can barely be quantified by science.
