No.

The point, once again like the algae, is selective outrage.  You ignored it completely with the last admin, but now it's a thing to you.

You are being led about on a leash.

When I called I asked for a free estimate to replace the chimney cap if needed. The appointment confirmation you emailed me shows a $99 charge for a sweep and inspection. The chimney does not need inspecting nor does the metal flue. Please explain this.

I disagree with your comparison. Yes, the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool had algae during the last administration. In fact, the algae has been a problem since the reflecting pool was finished in 1923. The algae is a result of the pool's design and the Washington D.C. climate. Trump's ill-advised decision to paint/coat the pool dark blue exacerbated the algae problem because darker colors absorb more sunlight which results in raising the water temperature. Algae thrives in warmer water. Had Trump or his staff done a little research or the company Trump hired to coat the pool advised Trump of that this would happen; the whole mess could have been avoided.

The bottom line is that most people ignored the algae problem for decades regardless of who was President and would have continued to ignore it had Trump not made such a fuss about fixing up the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and blamed the algae on "vandals" instead of just admitting making he made a mistake.

It will be interesting to see what the contractors do to repair this mess. Will they recoat it in a dark color or will they go for a lighter one. I read that the reflecting pool should have some type of coating because it leaks and also removing the current coating and returning it to a bare concrete slab is extremely involved and expensive.

I see your point but = It's more a matter of degree and the diversity of the transgressions that I'm concerned about. I don't like the word outrage because that implies blind hate which I don't have.. Well it's off to pump some tiny iron. be back tomorrow,,, I hope.

Can you prove degree between the two?

Hope the workout was good - would prefer more gold weight though.
