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.

I really think that he was exaggerating a bit. Unless, of course, he tried to flush the impeachment report. Now, that sh** don’t flush.

We have one in our place, in the master bathroom. Even though we flush at least 2 or 3 times during our morning constitutional, I find I have to plunge it to unclog at least every 10 days or so. Our other toilets are the old style, and I think I've had to plunge one once in the past two or three years.

All in all, I think the old ones are just as efficient water-wise, and a crap ton more reliable!

The Democrats might as well give up. THIS is the issue that will carry the election!

No, I’m not being sarcastic. SanFran Democrats like their streets covered in poop. Trump says, Flush it down, completely, efficiently!

Which side will most sane Americans choose?

‘President Trump is right. ‘

I cannot for the life of me, convince my beloved husband to replace his old commode for a new one.

And the reason Pres Trump gave is the exact reason my beloved gives me. He’s not going to give up his old commode which decides to not work as designed because of age occasionally for one that is designed to not work.

So I really hope Pres Trump can make progress on this small nightmare.

You have a valid point. Having worked in water/sewer construction for a while as a kid I learned that solids flushed down a toilet need other waters behind them to keep them moving. That other water is a full flush followed by washing hands. Then other routine water like dish water, showers, etc.

If a solid is stopped by some imperfection in the pipe and not shoved along by water, the next solid will stop there and soon there is a blockage.

This is a rant I tell people that try to use little or no water.
