Rewilding that ugly pool area would be an amazing project.

Just accept your inner American and make it a car park.
No not the mall at DC, one of the only car-free places in the USA along with Disney World
Only because the cars at Disney World get their own park
Cock fighting arena it is then!
How many cocks do I have to fight at once?
You could probably do four if you go middle out.
Either one hundred foot one or a hundred one foot ones.
Is this trump's the Green New Deal?
Tadpoles.
The ensuing frog plague upon the capital would be a nice little bonus.
On the plus side, no more mosquitoes!
empty it, pave it over, make a ballroom
another
platinum plated with titanium studs and diamon glass
it's just our childrens futures, who the fuck cares
clearly no fucking body
I’m thinking we replace it with a 2,000 foot long AI generated portrait of obama performing lewd acts on trump, and then for the next 100 years we can have a news cycle about democrats wasting money whenever someone suggests restoring it to the original monument
The USA still being a thing in 100 years is taking a lot for granted.
Haha, humanity surviving the next 100 years is a lot to take for granted. Just because the USA is in the lead in the race to the bottom doesn’t mean the rest of the countries in the world aren’t in the race as well.
Actually I give a lot more for humanity's chances than this organization we call the United States of America remaining as a unit for another 100 years.
You think the same billionaires that are fucking the US aren’t fucking your country?
I'm American, I think billionaires are always fucking everybody, and I think the human race has better odds of surviving another 100 years than the USA as an entity. But I don't feel like debating whatever train of thought you're on.
Not a debate - it’s easy to say the US is fucked (rightfully so, we are fucked). My point was it’s happening to almost every single “first world” country right now. Same billionaires, same fucking playbook. Humanity is in a great filter moment and whatever’s left in 100 years is going to be a wasteland
dont you mean GOLD plated, with diamond/zirconium studded along the walls. like the gaudy trump tower rooms.
Trump should be praised for using the reflecting pool to bloom algae. it's forward thinking of him to leverage a biological solution to the carbon greenhouse gas problem and attempt to replenish oxygen in the atmosphere at the same time!
such a stable genius!
I'm voting for the introduction of shrimp and silver carp!

What about crabs and snails that clean the surface
fuck yeah crabs i changed my mind from pampasgrass
Instead of dumping chemicals in the pool, they should put a couple thousand algae eating fish in there like you put in your fish tank. Maybe a few goldfish cause old drumpf loves gold things.
Yeah that's honestly a gigantic missed opportunity. Make it into a massive carp or koi pond...
Dumping chemicals in the reflecting pool meant to, you know, reflect who you are as a person and as a nation, is too fitting for this administration.
and like, you can just use 25 cent feeder goldfish. legitimately the local japanese restaurant wanted to buy ours (we were friends with their sushi chef) to use in their koi pond in their restaurant (or just take home) because once they're big, only an expert can tell the difference. a koi is a pretty goldfish basically. ours were named breakfast, lunch, and dinner because our pet oscar refused to eat them and we thought naming them after meals was darkly appropriate and might encourage him to eat them. it worked once., but not twice and then the fish were bigger than him. ours were the size of my foot. or forearm. same size.
Maybe some gators too
-
Start aquaculture farm in reflecting pool
-
Raise the shittiest shrimp in the universe
-
Brand them Freedom 250 Prawns
-
Let business partners buy them at huge markup
This is all so easy
At this point I'm surprised Trump isn't proposing that we make our flag colors red, white, and algae green.
reeds are invasive though.
There are native reeds in NA: " three separate lineages occur in North America – one endemic and widespread (the native), one from Europe (the introduced invasive), and one whose nativity is currently unclear which occurs across the southern U.S. from California to Florida and into Mexico and Central America (the ‘Gulf Coast’ type)." https://bugwoodcloud.org/mura/mipn/assets/File/Educational%20Resources/Phragmites%20Field%20Guide.pdf
Fine. Bamboo, then.
They could probably find a native cordgrass and plant a perimeter of it around the pool to pretty decent effect I'd say.
Nah we need to dump a bunch of salt and put in that red salt loving bacteria.
Get the 10 plagues of trump going
