No one asked you to. Stop worrying about us politics and worry about your own country. I just found out most of Europe is burning up in a heatwave. And that shit sucks. Maybe look into that. Or don’t.

He has ICE arresting “illegal aliens,” that’s being protested. ICE has killed protesters, that is also getting protested. The issue is that bastardization of our education system has lead to a large amount of the population believing that ICE is doing the right thing. Because they are racists. We aren’t fighting Rump or his administration, we are fighting an increasing in size radical white national group within the US.

Europe is also racist. It’s just that the people have learned that it is better to side with each other than the aristocrats. The US built its entire image on not having aristocrats while that group consolidated power and pinned the population into racial infighting to prevent notice. Are problems are different

Also, if you are in Europe then you have your own problems. When I look in to it there is always all kinds of fucked up shit. US citizens just don’t care because we are up our own ass. I would say you care because you are up our ass too, but the US probably has a military base in your country or an adjacent country. And you or that country probably fucking like it. If we are so bad, so far gone, fight that. You are commenting on us getting fucked and we are literallyinside most of Europe. Fight that you self-righteous cowards. If you did, it would make it easier for us to fight in our country. But you won’t because your fucking scare.

No, protests could (and should) have happened earlier. They also have.

The No Kings protests occurred but caused little social changes. Given that the US doesn’t have the same social support system of other countries, it is difficult for most people to protest for an extended time without essentially destroying their own life.

Due to rampant racism, the Black Lives Matter protests simply resulted in most white people taking personal offense instead of actually comprehending the systematic bias US society has against blacks and minorities.

Occupy Wallstreet lasted pretty long, but was co-opted by fringe social movement groups and homeless plants by police. And that happened during the presidency of everyone’s favorite Dep president darling, Obama.

My point is that protesting right now, during an election period, instead of just fucking voting doesn’t make much sense given that US society has very clearly marched to this point with everyone aware.

Afterwards, when the system clearly doesn’t work, and/if we are still fascist, sure let’s fucking riot.

With regard to the “coward” comment. If you aren’t in the US, you likely don’t have the same social political, economic, or societal factors in place so you can’t really judge.

Also, more crudely, if other countries had got off sucking US dick decades ago, it would have removed US soft power, wealth, and resources, and allowed internal social movements to have more weight. As example, we wouldn’t be able to amass such a large military if other countries hadn’t allowed the US to be their police. So, kindly fuck off and fix you own damn problems so we can do the same, though probably slower because of you cowardly enabling fucks.

Edit: I’m clearly going to get down voted into oblivion, but that doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that if you are a US citizen, protest AFTER the upcoming election if you are going to do it. Especially if you are in a “red” state We need to remove as much of the veneer of legitimate as possible from this administration. If you protest now, there is a risk your vote gets removed. Don’t listen to dumb fucks from other countries who have no concept of the social issues of the US. They don’t even understand the moral, economic, and social issues around tipping. Their opinions are invalid. VOTE. It probably won’t work, but we can always protest etc. After. This act now right before midterms bs is just ignorance or psy-ops.

Original post below: He’s doing this to create civil unrest so he can declare martial law. You are suggesting people take action that aids that goal.

Thanks for the link, but I actually do understand how pools and algae growth functions. I’m a biochemist (or, at least I was), and have been taking care of pools off and on most of my life.

It would be a fuck ton more difficult to manage a pool with tidal water as a source compared to potable water. Its not the only reason the pool has grown more algae, and its still ultimately due to mismanagement during the Trump administration (i.e. not monitoring/managing the algae level and water source). However, ignoring how the switch to tidal water effected the number and frequency of algae blooms is disingenuous.

Are we doing a “blame the right for everything and not attempt to be honest” thing because that is their go-to? I mean, I’m down I guess at this point, but can I get a wink or something when we are doing it?

Anyway, here is an article discussing it: https://cen.acs.org/environment/water/why-the-reflecting-pool-turns-green/104/web/2026/06

I mean, I agree. The changes during the PBA administration made sense and were better for the environment and Washington DC people.

Which part is allegedly?

I mean, I honestly don’t like Trump. That said, the pool was originally drinking water, and an Obama era revamp switched it to filtered tidal water. The water that fills it now has way more organic molecules, even with the filtering, leading to algae blooms. The blooms can’t really be treated with standard algaecide due to its effect on wild life.

Trump made the situation worse by painting the bottom of the pool. But the reason is was good for decades prior was due to being drinking water, which has far less capability to host life.
