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.”

    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.
