President Trump is right. We got new toilets that use air to push the water down and it causes slow drains and sometimes clogged pipes.

Well, sometimes I have a protracted sit-down that calls for it. Other times, I lose count because the new issue of Field & Stream arrived. I get my best reading done in there sometimes. 🤣

A bit of an exaggeration I think but his point is correct 👍👍every contractor we know advises against the dysfunctional “new toilets” because they just don’t work properly and wind up with unhappy owners wasting a lot of water 💧

There’s an even better message in this news report. Pdjt is preparing to flush pelousy’s fake “impeachment” resolution down the toilet. And he wants to make sure it will flush all the way to the Atlantic on the first try —

Toilets and showers that aren’t depressing. Gotta love this POTUS. That sort of thing chips away at your outlook on life in subtle ways and it would be good to get that fixed. If you are flushing multiple times you aren’t saving water really.

However many times I have to flush worries me not.

The city sends me the bill, I pay it. I could not care less about wasting water or environmentalism.

The drought we experienced brought on this attitude. I lost my beautiful Globe Wllow because the city said I could not water my trees...but the damn City was supposed to provide my water....so I’m blamed when they not can’t...but won’t. ...pay a higher price from their source?

The above is deeply annotated, but truthfull nonetheless.

Pretty disgusting to not get a complete flush. Even when you do in a single flush, it seems the toilets need cleaning more often than in the past. So, more chemicals to dump into the sewer.

I find myself just holding the handle down to get additional water in each flush. Seems like they could have picked a happy medium with water usage for toilets.

I heard this on the radio this evening and cheered. ‘Bout freakin’ time someone came along and wants to do something about it. This water-saver/energy-efficient crap is anything BUT.

Our 41 year old home has the old “5 Gallon Flush” toilet. I replaced a leaking flap valve with the new adjustable flush type.

It works great! Most of the time, the partial tank, reduced setting works just fine. If I notice a few “Bitter Clingers” circling the drain, I just hold the lever down to finish the complete flush.

Less than $5 at Lowe’s/Home Depot.

I saw this meeting on YouTube and he also talked about bringing back incandescent light bulbs, and joked about how these newer bulbs give off bad light and make him look orange. He said we needed to change the bulbs in a couple of White House rooms. He was really funny.

The ‘Chicago Fountain’ would dip everytime Al flushed.....

We got new self flushing toilets at work.

They flush twice before you sit down.

If you line the seat with a toilet seat liner, it will flush when you straighten up to turn around, flushing your liner with it. Had to hang the tongue of the liner out the other direction to stop the cycle.

They flush fairly well, but leave skid marks which require 2 more flushes to clear out.

Water pressure has nothing to do with toilets not flushing.

It is again Washington and its bureaucratic cesspool that have mandated these low flush crappers.

Get the government out of our bathrooms

Use 2 flushes instead of one where one was all that was needed before the gov’t got involved..
At work we have these automatic sinks. You place your hand under the faucet and several streams of water come out. You have to hold your hands under longer as the water stops then starts then stops and starts etc. and the amount is never good enough to feel your hands are clean compared to a full stream of water.
Also the faucets go on and off and the toilets flush by themselves.

Not every low flow toilet is made equal.

A bit of research before buying one is helpful to find one rated highly by testing places and actual buyers.

That’s what I did and got great ones that were engineered to properly work with a lower amount of water.

Light bulbs, water flow and changing the antibacterials in soap are three examples where the government came to “help” and has negatively impacted my quality of life. Then there’s fake clothes (synthetics) and fake food and constant badgering to take body poisons which destroy ones immune system. And technology that has us spied upon 24/7. These are not the changes would would’ve expected over the past 50+ years of my adult life.

Flushing a koran takes at least 10 tries.

Good, get rid of the AlGore legacy of the multi flush crapper.. If they change this, I’ll go out and replace every one in my house before the dumocrats change it back.
