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.

They were also putting bleach into the pool trying to kill the algae, and maybe that helped the paint peel off

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

At an impromptu press conference, Vice President Jadey Vance announced there is, in fact, no staticky hum coming from the Reflecting Pool. In fact, because citizens are not even supposed to be aware of the Pool's existence, "they could not possibly be receiving a menacing and unearthly voice instructing listeners to bring couches, gold, and nubile preteen girls to the Reflecting Pool."

if you could shave yourself, you'd shave us all.

Is that what you called me for?
Is that why you're knocking on my door?

I can not shave you! I can't even shave myself! So just shave yourself!
