Blaming Obama for his failed 16+ million dollar attempt at entering the algae-based bio fuel industry.

How sad.

    Obama hasn’t been president for a decade. This is so stupid I feel like my brain cells are committing suicide.

      That’s literally what narcissism is. The circuitry in your brain that is responsible for feeling shame and guilt and finding fault within yourself just doesn’t exist in an affected brain. The idea that something negative that happened could be his fault is like you trying to understand how 2+2 could possibly equal 5. It doesn’t even cross your mind as a thing that’s worth considering as a possibility.

        It’s because the fragility is so great, any bruise to the ego, however small, would shatter their sense of self. They literally can never find a fault in themselves because it would break them and then send them into a full on rage. I think that’s why he has his outbursts. Things shatter his narcissistic bubble in a way that he can’t refute and he just gets violent and loud as a result.

          I don’t think you fully understand how narcissistic personality disorder works. If a healthy person starts getting a little too full of themselve, either because of frequent success making them feel infallible, or the Dunning-Kruger effect making them think they know more than they do, they can be brought back down by a reality check, or an embarrassing failure that inescapably shows them that they too have flaws. That’s the “shattering” or the “bubble” you’re referring to. That’s a healthy response. His mind literally doesn’t have the capacity to choose “personal failure” as an option for the cause of ANYTHING except positive results, because it isn’t even in the drop-down list. It’s super tempting to just say that it’s because he’s an asshole (he is though), but it’s a mental illness just like OCD, or schizophrenia. He could probably have masked it a little bit better when he was younger, but the clearly worsening dementia just makes it more obvious now.

      That’s why people like him and voted for him. MAGAts see themselves in Agent Orange. They all suffer from neurodegeneracy, because of all the chemicals they have been huffing since childhood. Dementia reduces empathy and increases self-centeredness, which are very similar symptoms to narcissism. And Trump is the most biglyiest narcissist on the planet, believe me.

      Also not surprising that rural folk are Trump supporters, they breath in a higher than average amount of Monsanto chemicals every year.

      This should be bare minimum litmus test for any representative or even an employee yet many people are simply too naive or dumb to realize this. I just don’t understand how could you ever trust a person like that unless your goal is self harm.

    “Advanced nanobubbler technology”? That’s what they’re calling hydrogen peroxide now?

      I’m confused.

      At one point, the spokesperson is quoted as saying, “The nanobubbler technology has successfully destroyed the algae bloom that has plagued every pool reopening since 1922 …”

      But then they call it “advanced nanobubbler technology.”

      Is it more than a century old, or is it advanced? Pick one.

    Let’s make it a true reflecting pool and fill it with mercury. I don’t know how that could go wrong.

    It’s a sign of a weak man, to never admit ones mistakes while constantly blaming others…

    Weak man with small hands.

    Oh and also a pedophile. Not related to the pool, just stating the facts, so we don’t forget. Pedophile with nuclear codes.

    I’m not a chemist or even a pool guy… but isn’t algae automatic with any long-standing pool of water that isn’t chlorinated? What did they expect? Why are they even angry?

    It was painted for maximum algae growth. they could also install ozone generators and pumps to mitigate the algae growth. I don’t know if it already has any pumping to maintain the movement of the water.

    According to data found online about controlling alge in pools with H2O2, they’d need 1800 gallons of H2O2 to treat the reflecting pool.

    Here’s one:
