A note to my friends who still back Trump: I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking. Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways. And the green water? A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water. Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper. That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it. The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own. Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about. Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought. Prove them wrong.

@0ceanblueeyes22 I’m glad Sophie had something to say about them talking shit on MHA.

Can we talk about how awful WNBA fans are to the black players on the fever specifically because yikes

@AnnieCostabile @kenswift A better question is when has her star power actually benefit her with the officials? Because the on court actions show the opposite.

@kenswift hmmm. Interesting response. I read it and thought it emphasizes how officials are getting in the way of competitive moments. Clark's star power gives her influence over these dynamics with officials. As is the case for stars of leagues across pro sports.

@AnnieCostabile @_Brian_Hamilton Is Paige bigger than the WNBA because they rescinded her tech this year?

The fascinating case of Caitlin Clark vs. The WNBA: Who controls the spirit of the sport? must read column by @_Brian_Hamilton nytimes.com/athletic/73873…

@shooter4_22 The refs reviewed it again and have decided to call a tech on Boston for having her face in the vicinity.

Angel Reese "fans": she barely touched Aliyah. Aliyah Boston's BLACK EYE!!! 👇

One person was elbowed in the head and was somehow called for the foul. The other was the elbower to the throat and was clapping at the player she elbowed.

@ericaf455 Not even her best move of the night. 😉

MHA 🤣

MHA, you will never be booed in this arena. You cemented yourself in the heart of Indy tonight.

The fact that this was from a NO CALL FROM ANGEL’S ELBOW disgusts me fr. She even had to wear a mask for a bit 😭

@brilewerke @aa_boston The refs reviewed again and found no contact. Magic black eye.

Quite the shiner @aa_boston

@nosyone4 I maintain the first quarter was a player protest.

whole team looks lifeless

@LySocial 7/8 go into the upper level as well. It’s sneaky like that. 16 is in the middle of the camera sections so some of the views are more restricted.

These are crazy low for lower bowl tickets are they not?

@kingguyo @o_aexus58219 @jeffbuff73 I screenshot where you said it. I can’t help it if you can’t read your own words. Seriously dude, get offline. You need help.

@authAlanaMurphy @o_aexus58219 @jeffbuff73 Show where i said she wasnt elbowed

I don't get into drama on social media, not my thing. Not being petty, just writing what I watched. Angel Reese had a very clear flagrant foul in the 2H yesterday on Dontas. Replay verified it and after they reviewed the play Dontas was given 2 free throws. Reese went out of the game and was sitting on the bench. Dontas missed the first FT, Reese stands up and starts clapping. Missed the second one too, Reese stands up again and starts clapping. SMH People wonder why she isn't liked or is talked about in a negative way all the time.......well there you go!

@kingguyo @o_aexus58219 @jeffbuff73 When you keep talking circles to avoid reality, apparently you forget the dumb things you type.

@authAlanaMurphy @o_aexus58219 @jeffbuff73 Please show where i said she wasnt elbowed. I swear yall should just stop. Stupidity is wild

@kingguyo @o_aexus58219 @jeffbuff73

@SnapshotKyle @kingguyo Damn, he’s going with the she touched her face thing again. Seriously eye check is needed for that guy.

@kingguyo Whatever you say 😂

“She wasn’t elbowed in the throat” Did Angel Reese elbow Dantas in the throat or was she flopping?

@kingguyo @o_aexus58219 @jeffbuff73 Dude, you’re still here arguing with reality. You’ve now claimed she got hit in the arms, that she wasn’t elbowed, that you didn’t say the things you’ve said. Just stop. The video is right there and you’re embarrassing yourself.

@o_aexus58219 @authAlanaMurphy @jeffbuff73 Never said she didn't elbow her. Yall should be quiet if you cant read and comprehend. Its getting embarrassing

@sohali2012 In no game should she ever end with 0 fouls. Same with AT. And yet, it seems to happen all the time.

A’ja whistle is on high alert. She is untouchable. Embarrassing.

@DBGyt_ I’ll check the local calendar and see if there’s another event to replace. 😭

It might be over...

@kingguyo @jeffbuff73 You’ve literally spent the last half hour trying to argue that something on video didn’t actually happen. That’s weird behavior.

@authAlanaMurphy @jeffbuff73 Emotionally attached? Lmao. Ok
