Adding chemicals to the pool didn't cause the sealer to lift.

Even if some liberal ANTIFA Ninja trans person did slash a 250 foot gash in the sealer, that wouldn't cause it to lift - at least not in a day or two. It would just scrape a line into it. If the sealer is properly adhered to the surface, it will still bond next to the cut. That said, the slash MAY allow water to work it's way under the sealer over time, and may cause it to start lifting, but not in such a short amount of time. It would be months or years later and it would curl next to the cut first. It wouldn't be huge sections like we've seen.

I've sealed several water feature ponds made of cement over the years. I've also done epoxy floors on cement (similar process). The hard part is doing proper prep work to get it to adhere. Prep is usually 3/4 or more of the entire job. Putting the sealer or epoxy down is the easy and fun part.

This is either using the wrong sealer for the job, not prepping it properly, not applying it correctly, or not giving it ample time to cure before refilling.

My guess is they didn't prep it properly and didn't let it fully cure.

No shit. Now where are the Epstein files? What you gonna do about ICE? Doge? What about the fuckup with Iran? Are you still sucking Pissrael's dick? What about the infant you allegedly murdered? SPCX? Cost of living?

Mainstream media gonna keep status quo via distraction

Edit: forgot about venezuela and cuba

Exactly. This whole thing is stupid as hell.

He hired a company without the required expertise to paint the pool. Then dumped paint-stripping chemicals to kill the algae. And when you dump paint stripping chemicals into a painted pool the result of course looks like crap. There are no 'vandals'. Just a company that used the wrong chemical on a painted pool.

AIUI he’s wrong - the chemicals were way too dilute to do anything to the paint OR algae. The paint is peeling due to lack of prepping the pool before painting it

This is a post-evidence society. MAGA is more of a religion than a political movement

You guys are basically a Rome and your capital is burning while the crazy orange lunatic Donald Nero Trump dances around and blames others for fire he started...

Surprised Raichu at this point, anyway who gives a shit, where are the Epstein files?

It doesn't matter what the evidence says, the Orange Overlord's lie has already been planted in the empty heads of his cult.

We need to call this Trumps Gash Gate

Why does Obama keep shitting trump’s pants? It’s been like 10 years. Isn’t he bored of it yet?

SAD!

Every accusation is an admission.

Please maga drink the algae water I’m so ready to be owned on his situation.

I heard the leader of ANTIFA and the hacker known as 4chan teamed up for this one. That's probably why they can't find any evidence.

As if evidence actually matters.

It's patently obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that this was neglect and/or incompetence. There is no way to "cause" an algae bloom in an adequately maintained pool or fountain in the amount of time between when it was "taken care of" by Trump's wealthy friend and contributor and when it turned green with algae. Then again most of MAGA could be considered mentally handicapped IMO. So most of his mouth breathing followers will nod along and think "Yeah, must be them libtards dun sabotaged it".

It comes as no surprise that nobody in this administration understands how water works.

usa props up genocide from israel and kills thousands in foreign countries both directly and indirectly. yet what is most important to usa people is who dumped peroxide in a national monument.

I repaired pools one summer. Pools tend toward algae. Pools half-saturated with chlorine develop algal blooms. Pools with heat-absorbing paint on the bottom, absent or insufficient water filtering, and location in a literal semitropical swamp are a constant (very careful, with lots of water testing) battle to prevent algal blooms. Then you go dumping peroxide in... It seems unlikely this could have gone any other way.

The chemical is hydrogen peroxide, FYI

So are they going to issue an arrest warrant for some waddling old fat guy with a Foghorn Leghorn haircut?

Cue Nick Cage "YOU DON'T SAY?" meme.

Insider tells world the blatantly obvious is, in deed, fact.
