The Trump toilet initiative

Don't worry, Kevin.  Under Trump you'll have a choice of low water consumption toilets or master blasters which use more water.  Obama wouldn't allow this choice.  If you like you toilet, you can keep your toilet.  I already explained this.

 

Kevin, are you telling me that the average family in Las Vegas flushes 129 times per day?  I suggest that this is not the case.  Is it possible that some Lyin' Lib came up with that $400 savings by low flow toilets, and that number was BS?

That choice existed under Obama. The law mandated that new construction would have low-flow water devices installed. You were, and are, perfectly free to rip all that out and install whatever else you want, if you're that stupid. Don't distort what the facts were to make a stupid political point. We already know you regard Obama as an uppity black man who never should have been President.

 

The $400 savings is an average, and is an actual figure comparing water consumption before and after the law, on a national scale. By a typical family, over the course of an entire year. It also includes savings from other low-flow devices, such as shower heads. Obsessing over the actual amount for a hypothetical family in Las Vegas is pointless. It might be $400. It might be $289. It might be fifteen cents (for a family that uses an outhouse and never showers, like many Republicans). What's the difference?

 

My point is valid regardless of the actual amount saved for any given family in any given location. Such devices save water. And if they're already there when you buy a house, you don't have to incur any out-of-pocket expenses to obtain them. So, overall water consumption is reduced. DUH!

 

 

 

 

Nobody remembers Al Gore?  VP under Clinton?  He was am early global warming guy, promoted low flow toilets.   That's why we called them Al Gore toilets.  Hotels installed them, and later replaced them.   Two flush minimum.

If the internal tank parts are in working order and adjusted correctly, you shouldn't be flushing twice.

Saving water is a desirable goal and has little to do with climate change, other than the fact that it may increase the local demand for water under certain circumstances. Also, areas subject to drought will probably see more extremes in the future, so water consumption could become a major issue in such places (like...Las Vegas!).

 

Trump has no rational reason to rescind the law. He is only trying to cancel out whatever Obama did. His mentally fogged, fumbling attempt to come up with an excuse for doing so produced his fifteen-flush moment.

 

Most of those toilets have two flush controls. If you understand when you should use one and when you should use the other, you shouldn't have to flush twice.

 

It is a pretty sick point of view to say that saving water is just another dumb liberal idea. But I remember when low-flush volume toilets came out, and yeah, everybody said that only tree-hugging pinko hippies would ever want to use them.

Here is another toilet tip for the Trumpers. If you actually take the lid off your tank, you can adjust your fill level. My 1.6-gallon toilet can easily be adjusted to flush 2.5 gallons per-flush. See you can own the libs without buying a new toilet. You can also easily remove the flow restrictor on any showerhead or faucet if you want to burn money.

Hell, you can stand there, slack-jawed, flushing over and over, just like the Orange Asshole says he does.

 

I anticipate a nationwide wave of Trump-imitation toilet flushing behavior. After all, if Trumpie-poo does it, it must be a good thing! Fifteen flushes! MAGA!

 

You might brace for water shortages if you live in a Trump city or town.

 

And Mark...please don't confuse our Trumpers with big numbers like 1.6 or 2.5.
