Several months before blue strips started floating to the surface of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a company involved in its last renovation more than 15 years ago was approached with an opportunity to do this remodel as well. But the company said no.

Specifically, it balked at two requirements – the Trump administration wanted it done by July 4, and the pool bottom had to be blue, according to two employees with the New Jersey-based Sika Corporation, which provided the concrete construction and sealing products for a 2010 renovation project to the Reflecting Pool.

According to the two employees, who spoke to CNN on the condition they not be identified, both demands made the job “unfeasible.”

    So, in what way is this not a distraction from child rape and mass murder from starting pointless wars (to distract from child rape) ?

    Back to basics ppl, unconscionable abuse and straight up murder, or, a water feature in Washington.

      You can talk about all three just fine. Not only do Republicans love a pedophile, but they also love an incompetent and corrupt pedophile.

      The owner of the Greenwater company is also in the Epstein files so it all ties together nicely.

        This is simply a lie, please be intellectually honest in such important matters. The closest link is that the pool guy’s dad hired the same law firm as Epstein once.

      Yeah I agree that this is a distraction from far more serious shit.

      Unlike many other times when the thing people claim is a distraction is in itself as serious as a heart attack.

      Yet I don’t see any “NOW where’s the Epstein files” meme here. It’s like they purposely only post it in posts about serious issues.
