The reflecting pool is, like the Ballroom, a potent form of synecdoche for the overall administration's failures and corruption.
No one can deny that they screwed up the reflecting pool water because of corruption--so why do you trust them to keep your drinking water safe?
They're dumping slimy, green peroxide water from the Reflecting Pool back into the Potomac. #dc @popville.bsky.social

If America had a healthy political landscape someone as compromised as @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social wouldn’t be leading the campaign arm of Senate Democrats.
Corruption is one of the defining issues of our time & Senate Dems aren’t ready for the moment. This is one of the reasons ↘️
I mean the thing about this no-bid contract going so visibly wrong so quickly is that it's a weird coincidence because surely all the other corrupt no-bid contracts they're doing for things that aren't so visible are all producing perfect work that won't collapse or explode or whatever.
