Wait someone dumped Trump at a golf course?


No. Dump Trumped at White House.



I’m more concerned about the walking, talking toxic debris wandering around the White House


*sigh*. Of course they did. They’ve been dumping East Wing debris on East Potomac Links for months. And now they’re planning to "renovate" those links. I can’t figure out what incredibly cheap Trump-branded idiocy is going to end up there, but I’m sure something will. Now with added toxic waste!

It’ll probably be his presidential coloring book library

Well given that it’s a dump-site on a golf course I’ll wager something to do with a pit full of the refuse and a bulldozer.



Was it a Trump course or the competition?

Public course. Basically how Trump treats the US.


It was just Trump based on that headline



Lead and zinc are a given, if the rubble contains anything that was painted before the 1970’s. Government contractors used lots of leaded paint, white paint esp.

Roof flashings could be made of lead as well.

Oh, most definitely for a building of that age.




Don’t tell me, it’s a public golf course isn’t it?


Not reading it, but easily assumed it’d have, at minimum, lead and asbestos, based on the age.


This is par for the course as a T* sponsored demolition.


Shit, what about the giant clouds of asbestos dust that wafted through DC when the demo happened? They absolutely did not do any of the required sampling, abatement, or control measures throughout the surprise demo.


Better to dump it on the golf course than in the river or forest for example.


Did they use it to further bury the DEAD EPSTEIN VICTIMS that they buried at the golf course?


Officer Obie is gonna be pissed.


I’d rather toxic waste be dumped at a golf course than in wildlife habitat. Am I supposed to feel bad for these bougie assholes who already destroyed said habitat for their stupid game?

True. Golf courses are famously meticulously quarantined environments where large-scale toxic waste would never leak out into the surrounding environment. I totally forgot too that “golf course” and “wildlife habitat” were both mutually exclusive and the only options for toxic waste disposal.


The toxic waste dump would create more difficulty to rewildlife the golf course. Or do you think toxic waste doesn’t harm flora and funa?

Don’t forget rainwater run off and the water table.


It also travels. Soil, groundwater, and particulate matter in the air.


As if there was any chance of said golf course ever being rewildlifed…

Bold of you to think that late stage capitalist robber barons would let activism get in the way of their leisure that is so nicely isolated from the poors and jobbies and whatnot.

I’m pretty sure most golf courses are already mostly toxic pesticides and fertilizer anyway. And full of toxic people


strong “we towed it outside the environment” energy


They should seize the means of the five iron! They have nothing to lose but a stroke under lead!
