I think the term is 'hedge your bets'
I'll settle with one month now, so I can change my username, or you can continue on but you've already lost and it's more costly.

Remember, you put the bet out there, not me.

David Hearn was arrested.
A former Olympic athlete who's Facebook page is nothing but anti Trump BS.

4 others were arrested too. Why ask when you're just going to deny everything.

The paint is peeling off all on its own. It seems like they're arresting people just for touching the peeled pieces of floating paint. They can frame it as a keepsake like people did with the Berlin wall after it fell.

Once again, the administration cares about image first. If the word is out to the gullible masses that people are being arrested, then you'll think it's n ...[text shortened]... lt that he had the brilliant idea of sealing a shallow reflecting pool with truck bed sealing paint.

I guess The Guardian, a news company that absolutely hates Trump is writing about the damage and arrests.

Stupid thread by @shavixmir he thought it was just shoddy work. And yet, crazy anti Americans were damaging the pool.

Can you not see all the made up things in this article that they have no way of knowing? I don’t think so considering that you post it.

Investigators know vandals are doing it and they are currently investigating it but y'all can pretend that isn't happening.

Whatever helps you sleep at night 🙄

Stay on topic. Do you agree or not and why? I haven’t watched anything at all about this. You are like a broken record.

Since you think they are all innocent, they must be preparing some rock solid false arrest lawsuits then right?

Or did you say guilty but hard to prove? That would imply you think they are guilty right?

Which one?

If a court is ruling that "vandals" created the havoc, I offer you a small celebration (you and me your spuose if any) the champagne is on me.

I do assume you will offer the same if no court finds any vandalism.
