Dems Aren't Going to Like This News About the Reflecting Pool

Democrats have been losing their minds for days now over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

The only reason they cared was that they thought they could attack President Donald Trump over the algae bloom in the pool, after he had said how beautiful it looked immediately after it was done.

They were even freaking out over three dead ducks found in the area. Now we don't know why the ducks were dead. Folks on the Left immediately tried to blame the use of the hydrogen peroxide to treat the algae in the pool.

But that didn't fly.

“I know a few more dead ducks have been found, but hydrogen peroxide remains an extremely unlikely cause,” said Brad Bortner, the former national division chief of migratory bird management at FWS. “They [would] have to pour hundreds or thousands of gallons of industrial-strength hydrogen peroxide into the reflecting pool to reach a concentration that would kill a bird.”

The Democrats didn't give a darn about when Barack Obama spent $34 million on it, had algae within a month, and didn't resolve the leaking problem. Trump had to fix it because it was still leaking 45,000 gallons a day. Now that's fixed.

Oh, and the ducks? Here's what happened under the Obama administration: 80 dead ducks from a parasite.

CNN reported on 80 ducks dying in one weekend and recurring algae problems during the Obama administration.

Now one duck dies or algae appears, and it’s suddenly treated like a national emergency.

The difference is who’s in the White House.

Bottom line? Algae is a natural process, and it can occur in any pool. It's just something with which you have to deal.

But guess what? After all that, Democrats are going to have a fit because it looks like the pool is looking "awesome" again, according to TMZ's Charlie Cotton. "The Reflecting Pool is looking magnificent this morning."

The Reflecting pool is back to blue with a mysterious jagged line at the bottom.

"Credit where credit is due," he said. Something you'll never hear from the Democrats.

The poor pro-algae leftists are likely to be very unhappy with that. Sounds like the algae they were talking to, encouraging it to bloom, weren't listening.

Cotton did see a line in the pool he couldn't identify, although he speculated on whether it was a cut or sediment.

Smarter Minds,
What is this?

Plus, the ducks were there and looking pretty happy.

Every visit to the Reflecting Pool I’ve seen 6 happy ducklings with their parents. This morning is no different. pic.twitter.com/rPrCAg9VV6

So what is the Left going to come up with next?

Looks like things may be all set for America 250.
