Nonprofit sues to stop Trump’s changes to Reflecting Pool, a #HistoricSite
A Washington-area nonprofit Monday asked a federal court to halt Trump’s efforts to resurface the #LincolnMemorial #ReflectingPool, saying that #Trump [once again] failed to undergo required federal reviews before applying a blue color to the basin.

Look! Sealant Team 6 is guarding the Strait of Warm-Ooze. 🤣🤣
As with many people (I suspect) I can not help thinking that the great Reflecting Pool debacle simply mirrors the debasement of the US by Trump and his supporters.

#ReflectingPool Contract Has ‘#Inflated’ #Profit Margin, Government Analysis Finds
Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the Virginia-based contractor, is being paid $13.1 million, which is seven times the amount that #Trump initially said the work would cost.
The firm that was given a no-bid contract to “repair” the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, is charging 20%. The typical profit margin is 6% to 12%, internal records show.

As per someone online, the Reflecting Pool is now the Strait of Warm Ooze. Pass it on.
How tf did I not think of this?? 🤯
I've been a fan of Greek mythology since childhood.
Mind you, Narcissus was attractive and the pool was beautiful and clear.
It’ll probably be as well done as the no-bid #ReflectingPool.
#Trump is using a $500M #NoBid contract to build his White House #ballroom
The secret agreement was routed through a #WhiteHouse office that typically handles repairs & furnishings & is exempt from competitive bidding requirements.
