John Oliver Calls Lincoln Reflecting Pool a 'Giant Duck Death Trap' and Symbol of Corruption

There are dead ducks in the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, and people are kicking each other in the face on the White House lawn. The symbolism here is pretty hard to miss.

The United States was 'dealing with a literal swamp of corruption' for its 250th birthday.

It's been plagued by enormous pools of algae, large chunks of blue sealants have been peeling off, and just this week, a trio of dead ducks were discovered there.
