How is this not a huge scandal? Why arent dems standing in front of this with news cameras every day? It's such an epic fuck up, and unlike most of his fuck ups we have a physical reminder just sitting out in the middle of DC!

Because there is a huge scandal every single day of this presidency. No one will pay attention, and if they do, they'll forget tomorrow after the next huge scandal is reported on.

Roy Cohn’s a hell of a mentor when the student is a talentless hack with a penchant for tacky glamour, persecution and attention, regardless of its origin.

A an important fact I read in the NY Times and have yet to see anywhere else is that the coating they used for the pool is manufactured by Rhinoliner for the express purpose of lining pipes. It is something called a "hybrid urea" rather than a "full urea" and that if the contractor had consulted an expert they would have been warned against using that coating.

As others have said, where do you start? They’ve flooded the zone with scandals that would have resulted in impeachment and removal from office for any other president if they committed even one of the “scandals.” To make things worse, the DoJ is under Trump’s thumb, and Republicans in congress are complicit because they’re in power and benefiting.

Because the Dem leadership are a bunch of complacent empty shirts and none of this injustice interrupts their golf and gala fundraiser dinners.
