  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Can't argue with this, there have been reports before of vandals and hooligans around the reflecting pool before.

I'm sure the no-bid contract is pending. Trump's probably just waiting for the check to clear.

A new scapegoat appears!

Obama had had his shot at doing the “fix” so it would have lasted 120 years but he botched it and so it falls to Trump to make repairs last 120 years, and everybody’s in a tizzy because it’s not done in three months!

This would have been a great excuse if there wasn‘t a de facto war playing out.

How much time did Obama actually give to his “chance”?
Or did he make a decision and let other people do their own jobs?

Workers put fence up around Reflecting Pool as Trump’s renovation chaos deepens

“The Reflecting Pool was always set to be fenced off ahead of the 4th of July,” the Department of the Interior told The Independent in a statement. “As in years prior, one of the launch pads for the fireworks is around the pool so fencing is put up to ensure public safety. With the increase in vandalism by leftist activists, the fencing is going up earlier than originally planned to ensure no more damage is done to this historic site.”

The White House claims vandals have sabotaged the project by dumping fertilizer into the pool and cutting what President Donald Trump said was a 350-foot gash into its newly refinished underwater surface.

“Atlantic Industrial Coatings in conjunction with the US Park Service has identified some areas in the Reflecting Pool that require repairs,” Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the Virginia-based contractor overseeing the renovation, wrote in a statement on Sunday on its website. “These areas are a very small part of the massive 7 acre project, and do not indicate a failure of the liner.”

“These repairs can not be made until the pool is drained,” the company added. “As soon as its feasible for the Park, the pool will be drained and AIC will be back to make those needed repairs as part of the warranty.”

YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEE THE POOL TO KNOW IT IS CLEAR AND BEAUTIFUL!

Biden got a estimate for repairs and chose not to move forward.
It's Biden who saved 300m.
Trump in Trump fashioned hired a company out of their element.
Claimed it was going to be done at one price, but that price increased exponentially.
And also in Trump fashion like the trade war, the economy, the Iran war, proceeded to muck up the reflection pool.
That's how this OP should be characterized.

Why do I get the feeling that, if Trump were to somehow cure cancer, that cure would inevitably cause something worse, a form of mega-cancer or some kind of virulent plague that would doom mankind to extinction.

I am willing to call the Trump Presidencies a “win” if only Theobroma cacao, survives both.

Wow, can even a Trump regime pass such a low bar? I wonder.

Green and gold are our national colours.

With Trump covering everything in gold and now ensuring the The Pool is a nice shade of green, I'm suitably impressed.

Wheres the 150ft, 200ft, 250ft, 300ft, 350ft, 350 yard gash?
As far as I can tell, it's the entire width of the pool.

Truyl, the destructive energy of the radical left knows no bounds.
