Uh-oh, I think the D.C. vandals have been to Mara-Lago as well!

[tavernier]

Thick blankets of smelly sargassum seaweed are currently washing ashore on Palm Beach County beaches. Tourists and locals can barely tolerate the stench, choosing to stay away from the beach areas.

Poor Rump. Those Antifa criminals are everywhere!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. It's the Antifa Mafia!

[tavernier]

4. Obama and Biden have hired boats

to dump the weeds on his beach.

Will they never stop the madness???

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. I hope not.

It's good trouble.

[rzemanfl]

6. The boats are from Cuba and Soros is paying for them, right?

on account of because

[lame54]

25. It's Alg Qaeda

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. Another good one!

[maxrandb]

29. No! It's "Amphibfa"

Saw someone dressed like a frog with an "I Am Amphibfa" t-shirt at the reflecting pool.

I am still laughing

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. That's good!

[Blue Owl]

2. Odd... everywhere he goes there's reeking scum....

21. OMG!

BEST comment - and that’s quite an accomplishment when this Trump disaster just dishes ‘em out with shovels.

No. Not shovels. Earth-movers. Maybe with truckloads of dynamite.

8. All seaweed is a form of algae. Sargassum seaweed is a species of macroalgae.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargassum. The big brother of the reflecting pool's algae.

[Mysterian]

9. Algae-Qaeda strikes again!

[Kid Berwyn]

37. ALGAEFA!

Fighting fascist flora and fauna for fucking too long.

[surfered]

10. It's washing up on Gulf beaches of Red States, too. Trump should pay them $300 billion to stop it.

[malaise]

26. We've been having problems for years

in the Caribbean as well. Sometimes we just can’t go in the water

[LeftInTX]

34. You're in luck. Along with Saharan Dust!

[Pinback]

11. Paging Pat Robertson

or Rick Warren (or whoever the current leading messianic televangelist grifter is). This all has to be some kind of divine signal, right?

[progressoid]

13. Good ole John Hagee

From 2008

Hagee Says Hurricane Katrina Struck New Orleans Because It Was ‘Planning A Sinful’ ‘Homosexual Rally’

16. But when tornadoes hit Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, et al.

it’s the Lord “testing their faith” or some such bullshit. Anything but a scientific explanation.

[progressoid]

17. The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

It's best not to question it too much. Just put your donation in the plate.

[FakeNoose]

12. We can thank El Nino for this, I believe

There's no political agenda, this stuff happens courtesy of Mother Nature.

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. True

I just love the timing 😜

[yellow dahlia]

28. It's not nice to fool mother nature.

[Totally Tunsie]

18. OMG...did someone go into the ocean and slash the floor with big knives?

Chump better drain the ocean and call in his pool guy to lay a new lining! Damn vandals. They're why chump can't have nice things.

[OMGWTF]

19. You misspelled Merde-a-Lardo

[RockCreek]

27. More apt a name than ever!

[Initech]

20. When everything you touch turns to a sewer, and you smell like that...

It's understandable that it follows you everywhere!

[calimary]

22. Like a bad aftershave.

Or maybe what happens after serving a stewpot full of beans.

[Initech]

24. I didn't know aftershave was still a thing!

[peppertree]

32. Sargassum has become the Iran War of seaweeds:

It's good for distracting from Cheeto's own stench.

[Wonder Why]

33. Mar-a-lago attack by Auntie Far

boom

[eppur_se_muova]

35. Keep away from this stuff -- it may be releasing DEADLY H2S (hydrogen sulfide) gas !!

A number of people, a horse, and a number of wild boars have died or been hospitalized in a part of France where huge blooms of seaweed had washed ashore and begun to rot. The Guardian published a very extensive, in-depth article on the situation: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/may/12/i-couldnt-breathe-the-sinister-spread-of-frances-killer-seaweed

Lots more articles online: https://www.google.com/search?q=hydrogen+sulfide+from+rotting+seaweed+claims+lives&udm=14

Above concentrations of 50ppm*, H2S has a way of "numbing" the sense of smell, which makes it possible for people to fail to notice how intense the smell is, after an initial exposure. H2S has an offensive, rotten egg smell (rotting eggs produce H2S) which is detectable at very low, non-hazardous levels (as low as 0.05 ppm*), but after a while, it just isn't repulsive enough to keep people away, and they can breathe in a substantial dose without being aware of it, until they wake up in the ambulance or hospital -- IF they're lucky.

* marks info from the Guardian article, which is very informative, but which can't be copied !! Please see the article https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/may/12/i-couldnt-breathe-the-sinister-spread-of-frances-killer-seaweed

[calimary]

36. Yikes! I just read that article.

Very long but also very chilling! Efforts are being made to get a handle on the seaweed problem and understand how it actually can kill. And how urgently AND intensely it has to be confronted.

I guess it’s one of those “better the devil you know” things…

[eppur_se_muova]

38. Sadly, it took some shocking deaths for people to realize the nature and scope of the problem.

Apparently, there were warning signs due to wild animal deaths but people didn't investigate them thoroughly enough.
