The $1.7 million no-bid contract to clean the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went to a company ultimately owned by Trump donor John J. Cafaro, who previously pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving bribery and campaign finance violations. The company's name? Greenwater Services.

It never ends with this idiot if I were his physician, I would prescribe an immediate frontal lobotomy, a straight jacket, a cage, so he could press a button and get all the McDonald’s crap he wants. A shower, XXX L boxes of P pads for his bedding & a safety pin he can wrap around his waist. & a TV

There's a JJ Cafaro rabbit hole to go down and yes, it is 100% worth it. bsky.app/profile/rons...

Let's get to know John J. Cafaro, the pool company owner given a $14.2 million NO BID contract to clean DC's reflecting pool: 1) Ohio lobbyist twice convicted for bribery; sentenced to jail, probation & massive fines 2) Cafano got > 7x Trump's quoted job estimate despite bad work ($1.8m) [1/5]

It's a very deep hole. I'm from his base area in Ohio. If I had realized he owned that pool company, I could have written the outcome and trail of corruption without another note.

Would anyone expect something different. The Art of the Deal. Rob the treasury and end Social Security at every turn. Is there a refund if this guy is claiming$1.7 million Is this a bait & Switch or a Con. Take $14 million from the Treasury, the real cost was $1.7 million. Investigate, who is lying!

You beat me to it. Was going to suggest this is exactly what central casting would send if you asked for a corrupt, fat-cat Republican slime bag.

That picture is a cliche from the 50’s isn’t it? Corpulent older man in an expensive but ugly suit with a giant oral fixation, arm tightly wrapped around the waist of a young, beautiful woman. That’s exactly the kind of donor/friend Trump would have.

I thought I recognized that name. He built two of the Malls close to my hometown. Both had a lot of building code issues after a few years. In fact one will probably have to be torn down because it's literally slipping down a hillside. Great builder and contractor...not! Of course Trump chose him

Is he a charter member of the "lech of the month club"?? Certainly looks that way, how much did he funnel back to Pedolf after he got that bloated contract?

That is former reality star Kelly Dodd, from Real housewives of Orange county. She was full on MAGA before it existed and then doubled down. She was unhinged before it became popular, like wild.

No-bid contracts, political donors, and past convictions overlap, it raises the same old question: who is really accountable when public money meets political influence?
