Sane Washing

Donald’s Incoherent Rambling

Asked by ABC News if she plans to revisit the Reflecting Pool case against Hearn per Trump's request, Pirro interrupted: "Ah -- why did I know that was coming?"

Ever heard of the term sane washing? It’s a portmanteau of sane and whitewashing. And one of the reasons we are in this situation, in which a deeply corrupt, unqualified madman is President of the United States, is because for over a decade now, probably several decades, corporate media have been sane washing Donald. They have been sane washing his speeches, his off the cuff remarks, and his press conferences. And by doing so, they normalize him.

Now, what do I mean by sane washing? Well, that’s when somebody says something so outrageous and incomprehensible that, if you quoted them directly, what they said wouldn’t make sense. So, in order, I guess, to help the reader get a sense of what the person meant, the reporter or journalist fills in the blanks. That is seriously problematic because what it means is that people get the impression that Donald is actually coherent and sensical.

There’s a lot to say about the Reflecting Pool debacle, which is still ongoing. But right now, I want to revisit remarks Donald made in the Oval Office after Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, declined to prosecute anyone for allegedly vandalizing the Reflecting Pool because there was no evidence that anyone had done so. And she, of course, is afraid of losing her law license. Donald’s remarks were, at least initially, a response to Pirro’s decision not to bring charges.

Here is what Donald had to say verbatim in the Oval Office:

Donald: Jeanine Pirro made a mistake. It was vandalism. I just told you we did, I think, 78. One of the things was the Reflecting Pool hasn’t worked since 1922 because it always leaked. It always leaked from 1922. It’s the largest, longest pool ever, all that. The concept is beautiful, but it always leaked because of the size, because of maintenance, whatever. But it was built in 1922, and from the day it was built, it, like Biden, spent $58 million. Barack Hussein Obama spent much more than that. He said, I have an idea. Let’s take the water from the Potomac. So they took the water from the Potomac and it was putrid. It was putrid. It was a disaster. Biden was a disaster. I said, I’m going to get that fixed, along with Doug Burgum, Department of Interior, and we worked harder than that. Now we worked harder in all 70.

It’s actually, I think, 81 now. You saw the new horses that just opened by the bridge with the gold. That was the way they were many years ago. Now they look better than they did many years ago, but these monuments looked better than they did when they were originally built. Now, just a little fix up. We made them the way they were plus, and everyone’s so proud. The biggest, one of the bigger jobs was not really the biggest, believe it or not, but one of the biggest was the Reflecting Pool, and we did a great job. We sandblasted the stone outside. It’s granite, so it has a long life. We did a great job. We got very expensive material to put on top of the surface that always leaked because it was stone. It was a stone surface, always leaked, and we put it on and it was beautiful.

Now we have photographs or tapes, like moving cameras, right? We have them where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife. So now I’m not saying I was 100 percent thrilled with the contractor, but the contractor was rushing. We wanted to get it open for July 4th, and we got it done. But in addition, there was vandalism. Number one, look at the grass where the grass was all knocked out with a very powerful ingredient. We know very well what it is, but I’m not going to say the name because people get ideas. But they put a terrible phrase, I won’t say that either, but a terrible phrase on a massive piece of grass that we had had replaced, killed the grass, and we had to replace the grass, a lot of grass. In addition, they took knives or cutters and they cut the material, and they put their hands and they pulled it.

And there were also some maintenance things that we would’ve routinely fixed, but we had that up and it was perfect. And then you had the bubblers, which get rid of what forms in the water. And that works great, but they turned it up because of the fight, because it competed a little bit of noise during the fight. They turned it off and it grows very rapidly in the water, but that actually works very well, and that’s all. So now we’re just about set to reopen it, and we had to replace cut areas where they cut it and ripped it. But there’s a tape. And Jesse Watters, by the way, did a whole big thing on it. There’s a tape that’s out there that I posted on Truth where you have people leaning over the side, the weakest part because of the flexibility, it moves. It’s very complicated.

It moves. And the softest part has to be flexible, and that’s the stuff you can cut. And these guys knew what they were doing, and they cut all the way along the base, cut, cut, cut. Now, when you need to look at it, it was a day after the 4th of July with the largest fireworks display in the world, and the stuff was all over the pool. The fireworks, because they used the pool as one of them, it was all over the pool. It’s the day after or very shortly thereafter that was working perfectly, and it was vandalized. And if you look at the tape, now the tape isn’t a great tape in a sense. It’s a little hard to say who it exactly was, but it was people cutting this very expensive waterproofing material. Anyway, it looked beautiful, and then they cut it and they vandalized it.

We weren’t necessarily thrilled with the contractor, but they did a job and they were fixing any problems. But then it got carried away because the judge was extremely unfriendly to Jeanine. And frankly, I think she choked because the judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked. I don’t know what happened. Something happened. There was vandalism there, and there was some, I think, from the contractor, which we would fix, but it’s almost complete. And when it opens, it’s incredible. It’s really incredible. But remember this, it leaked from 1922. It opened in 1922. They never solved the leak problem because it was stone and the cracks with the stone. It’s not stone. Stone is really not a waterproofing material. We essentially used a high grade swimming pool material, which was my idea.

I’m very proud of that idea. By the way, I didn’t know the contractor, but when it was completed, it was perfect. And then somebody went in and cut, just like they did the grass. Nobody talks about the grass. They have helicopter pictures of what they did. Wasn’t it 87, right? Do you know what they did, right? Did you see what they wrote? 86, 47, 86 of them. So it’s 86, 47. They didn’t do 45. At least they left 45 out, and massive letters on the grass, 86, 47. And nobody talked about that. That was vandalism too. We had to replace all that grass. It was a tremendous amount of grass because when you hit it with this poison, it’s acid. It kills the grass no matter how. You can’t even clean it. Even if you got out there right after, it’s very powerful. So I know it well.

So people did great damage to this thing because they’re sick people. You know who’s representing the man is a man from CREW, a sleazebag who’s been suing me for my whole political, hasn’t won. He’s lost all the time. But CREW, do you know what CREW is? It’s a third rate operation that’s supposed to be a charity, but it’s not. They used it for political reasons. So we should be proud of our monuments, and we should be proud of our city. And you know that was open before they did the damage. It was open. It never looked more beautiful. It looked like a mirror, and that’s what it was supposed to be. It was a very dark color because otherwise you don’t see it as a Reflecting Pool, and it looked beautiful. Well, it looked just as beautiful. It’ll be fixed and open over the next week and a half, two weeks.

I don’t know about you, but I need to take a breath because that was something. I want to underscore the fact that what I just gave you is from a verbatim transcript of Donald’s remarks. I didn’t change a word. Now, some of the emphasis might be slightly different, but the words are almost exact to the extent that they could be.

In that stew of insanity, colloquially speaking, are a lot of lies, obviously, a lot of ass covering, a lot of excuse making, and a lot of blame casting. But I defy anybody to tell me that those are the remarks of a man who is fully in control of himself, that those are the remarks of a man who is cognitively and psychologically intact, because they are not.
