He claimed in 2019 that “people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once” as a result of insufficient water pressure.

Uhh, this sounds like a "you" problem, Mr. President. More fiber might help. Anyway, thanks for broadcasting your bowel troubles to the whole world, it sure makes you look strong.

Changing of water pressure won't do anything for most household toilets except fill the tank faster.

He's flushing paperwork because he can't read it and he doesn't want anyone else to.

Don't you have those watertanks that fill up and release the water when you press it in america?

There's no water pressure in my toilet, just gravity.

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, we do. We also have a moron for a president.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Gravity creates, that's what he means! We must require 40 story buildings with all their showers and toilets on the first floor. All kitchen sinks on the second floor. Reservoirs on the 40th floor.

He wears a fucking diaper. He's shitting his own pants. No way he's flushing toilets.

I often think about how Hank Hill would react to our current political climate. He's too pure for this shit. I think in the last election he would've bit his tongue, voted Democrat, and shivered whenever he thought about it.

He did put his foot down about the evangelization of Halloween.

[–] applemao@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Totally would have!

[–] piecat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

He decided a presidential candidate was bad on handshake alone

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

It was later determined that someone had tried to flush documents down the presidential toilet ... so ... you know.

from the available info on Krasnov, constipation is the opposite of his problem which requires a towel be put down where he sits.

[–] admin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And the smell. Dont forget the smell. Pa' Thiel and the rest of the puppeteers couldn't pick a better puppet.

[–] DarthKaren@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think he may need a presidential golden poop knife.
