Mr Trump Mr Trump we caught one!

"David Hearn, a 67-year-old Bethesda, Maryland, man who stopped by the pool while on a 64-mile bike ride, said authorities arrested him and held him for five hours on Friday after he reached down into the pool"

Trump donor had $1.7m contract to drain the swamp and replace the corrupt democrat filtration system:

"Green Water Solutions was hired in April by the Department of the Interior to install a Nano Bubble system at the Reflecting Pool, replacing "the existing, failing filtration infrastructure."

Wonder how much of this is valid. The pool holds 25 million litres of water (ten-plus Olympic swimming pools worth of water) so a LOT of chemicals would be required to cause destructive damage.

I expect a lot of it is based on expert advice from the Nano Bubble machine vendor:

OK so doing some google research I have come up with following AI information:

 

NOTE: the bold - underline - italics, are mine.

 

So, are they still using chemicals like chlorine at the filtration point ??? Or did the non-tender winner, the Nano Bubble machine vendor, sell Humpty Dumpty an overpriced "bill of goods" ??? 🤣

 

----------------------------------

 

Nanobubble machines infuse water with ultra-fine, microscopic gas bubbles (oxygen or ozone) that are invisible to the naked eye. They transform pool maintenance by significantly boosting dissolved oxygen levels, oxidizing organic waste, and dramatically reducing the need for harsh chemicals like chlorine while ensuring crystal-clear water.

 

How They Work Unlike standard aerators, nanobubbles are about 2,500 times smaller than a grain of salt and carry a negative surface charge. This charge prevents them from combining and popping at the surface. Instead, they remain suspended in the water for weeks, constantly moving to break up biofilm, oils, and bacteria. 

 

Key Benefits

 

  • Chemical Reduction: By breaking down sweat, sunscreen, and body oils, they prevent the formation of chloramines (the cause of strong "pool smell" and eye irritation), allowing you to drop chlorine levels.

     

  • Superior Clarity: They act as a constant oxidizer, helping clump microscopic impurities together so your filtration system can easily catch them.
  • Energy Savings: They require less filtration and can reduce circulation energy costs by up to 75% while keeping the pool sanitized.
  • Gentler on the Body: Leaves water feeling soft and odorless, making it perfect for sensitive skin, swimmers with asthma, or those who dislike the feel of traditional chlorine.

Installation and Maintenance

 

Nanobubble generators are typically retrofitted directly into your existing equipment pad. They operate via a sidestream setup right after your filter and heater, tapping into your existing plumbing loop. Because of their heavy-duty sanitation capabilities, they are very popular in the spa/pool industry.





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

NBC News - Trump keeps bringing up the number 22

 

21 June 2026

 

Lately, Donald Trump's favorite number seems to be 22. 

 

This includes falsely claiming that Washington DC has 22 fountains (it has 18), that he had proved wrong 22 Nobel Prize-winning economists and that the military recently destroyed 22 ships in Iran. He has also discussed a swimming pool he built 22 years ago, described meeting with 22 medical specialists and complained that a possible trip to Asia would take 22 hours.

 

It is unclear why Trump has fixated on this particular number ... he is saying things that are factually inaccurate, over and over again, to conform to his 22 obsession.

 

It is notable that Trump does have one 22 obsession that could have a direct policy impact - namely, his determination to repeal the 22nd Amendment so he can run for a third term.

Various countries celebrating the FIFA world cup chant. I thought rants were supposed to rhyme?

Australia
  • Aussie boys are on a bender. Donald Trump is a sex offender

  • Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, sitting in a tree…

  • Epstein didn’t kill himself - Trump knows!
England
  • You’ve got school shootings, we’ve got VAR.

  • USA, you can’t stop bullets - la-la-la-la-la.

  • Donald Trump and Epstein, best mates forever.

  • He’s Donald, he’s Donald, he hangs around with Epstein
Scotland
  • Trump is a bawbag, he kens Epstein. (Trump is a scrotum bag. He knows Epstein)

  • You can shove your MAGA up your ar__.

  • Epstein’s island, Trump’s wee holiday.
New Zealand. Often chanted alongside Australians
  • Trump and Epstein - dodgy as, bro!

  • He’s orange, he’s loud, he’s mates with Epstein.
Ireland
  • Epstein’s list -- Trump’s on it!

  • Trump knew, Trump flew, Epstein too.
United States (counter-chants)
  • Say it to our face, not in Canada.

  • We’ve got Trump, you’ve got nothing
Australians

I also saw another England chant last week: "He's fat, he's got piles, he's present in the Epstein Files! Trump the c***, Trump the c***!"

gzt: Mr Trump Mr Trump we caught one!

"David Hearn, a 67-year-old Bethesda, Maryland, man who stopped by the pool while on a 64-mile bike ride, said authorities arrested him and held him for five hours on Friday after he reached down into the pool"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-reflecting-pool-vandalism-arrest-washington-dc/

 

Also discussed (quite humorously) in The Bulwark today: 

 

https://www.thebulwark.com/p/americas-kiddie-pool-authoritarian-reflecting-mall-green-paint-iran-negotiations-memorandum-understanding-hormuz-nuclear-inspectors-world-cup-brexit-starmer

 

These villains, it seems, were so cunning, so devastatingly dastardly, that they managed to pull off this shocking act of national blasphemy without once being visible on the cameras embedded in the Washington Monument that transmit a 24/7 public livestream of the Reflecting Pool. Plainly, we are looking at some serious criminals here. But rest assured that Trump is on the case: Many people, he claimed, have already been arrested.

 

Is that true? Who knows! At least one arrested person has already been identified, however: former U.S. Olympian David Hearn, who told ABC News he was arrested Friday after heading to the Reflecting Pool to see it for himself and touching a piece of the blue coating that had come partially loose. “I did not remove, I did not damage, I did not rip, tear, break, destroy, or harm any part of the Reflecting Pool,” Hearn insisted.
