They are suggesting ADHD people to be recruited to peel the remaining blue paint off the reflecting pool in DC. ADHD people tend to hyper focus on certain tasks and some tasks that are straight forward and monotonous tend to be soothing.

I would gladly go and do this free of charge to feel that sweet sweet satisfaction of peeling paint, and also destroying something Trump did.

And the bottom meme is a play on Star Wars where all the Jedi were being killed… except it’s RFK Jr trying to put all ADHDers in camps.

The other background: Trump paid 16 million to "fix" an algae problem at the reflecting pool in Washington dc. The money went to a friend who wasn't qualified for the job and who didn't bother treating any of the plumbing which sat dormant while they drained and painted the bottom of the pool over several weeks. When the pool was re-opened it almost immediately started displaying algae problems again which MAGA conspiracy theorized that it was a far-left op to sabotage trump's project. But really the project just did a terrible job. And now the latest development is the the paint is peeling up, because of course it is-- again, trump's friend who was paid for this was not qualified.

Thats pretty wild to me. My wife wont let me try to fix a leaky tap because im not qualified.

How does one unqualified-but-willing-to-give-it-a-go-i-mean-how-hard-can-it-really-be land a multimillion contract?

Suck up to corrupt oligarchs, apparently.
