    OK it is official - my gaster is now completely flabbered

    169,000 Americans dead and Trump is obsessing over that thing perched on his head. Never has his narcissism been more prominent.

    Contrast his reaction to Jacinda Ahern (Prime Minister NZ)

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08...-jacinda-ardern-auckland-stage-three/12547678

    Just four new cases and she locked the country down and declared stage three restrictions in the country’s capital

    I've been complaining about this for a while. Those new flow-limiting restrictors that contractors are required to install into the shower faucets (as well as the supposed "high efficiency" shower heads that go along with them) lower the rate of water to a less than pleasant experience. It's in all the new bathrooms, especially in certain states/provinces.

    It feels like just a tiny bit less water flow than the minimum that a regular person really wants. It takes longer to rinse out soap from your hair, with the lower water flow.

    The environmental greenies went a little too far with this latest scheme.
    If they hadn't set the flow level so low, maybe people wouldn't have complained.

    Hmmmm

    Hasn’t parts of the USA been suffering water shortages and drought?

    And this is the essence of what a good leader SHOULD do. Look at the broader picture, balance the individual good against greater good. Instead Trump has, as he always has, made it all about him

    BTW this restriction dates back to the Bush presidency

    Ummm... Wouldn't more water pressure be higher standards? Plus it's more green. Higher pressure uses less water.

    The lower standards are occurring everywhere because of Trumps executive order that for every new regulation, two must be removed.
    While I am not for complete deregulation, I do believe we need this in order to remove outdated regs that impede businesses and productivity that provide little to no benefits.

    Doesn't he have enough money to move a rainforest into his home? Why is this even a topic of conversation when people are relying on him to lead this country through a pandemic that seems hell bent on wiping out the country as we know it? I would love to say that my gaster is flabbered too, but I can't. Unbelievable.

    Are you referring to California? Much of that was brought on by too many people from foreign immigration, and the state government ignoring farmers and refusing to build reservoirs - both because the state is deep in debt and they'd rather use the money for other progressive causes, and because their extreme environmental ideology tells them to avoid messing with the natural flow of water.

    We have had past threads about that.

    All the stuff going on in the world and this is what bothers you? LOLOL. Sure, okay, right. "Orange man bad" has to "orange man bad" I guess. I say leave it up to the states to determine what water restrictions need to apply. Hell, we have our own water. We don't get it from the city or the county. It's none of their business what fixtures we use. ****em.

    Funny you use the word "obsessing" given that you are obsessed with Trump. To say Trump is obsessing over flow restrictions in showers is a bit of hyperbole eh what?

    Mandating flow restrictions in showers may be appropriate in your country but all areas in the US do not have water shortages. It is absurd for the Federal Government to issue regulations for shower heads.

    Not a COVID thread but a LEADERSHIP thread

    I was contrasting the two leadership styles. Jacinda Ahern has shown herself an impressive leader willing to make hard choices and follow through

    Trumphas shown himself to be self obsessed incapable of Thinking in terms of the larger issues


    This is a man who does not even know what the 19 stands for in COVID 19

    According to a "study" i did, I doubt your "study" in your meme. There is a covid forum, this is not it.

    Trump has on occasion mentioned this for years, raise that water pressure!

    Low flow is an environmentalist sham.

    Just like low flow toilets, which studies found resulted in people flushing more.

    After decades of building high rises, Trump knows this is a popular issue.

    Yeah

    but with all the other concerns - including not being able to fulfill his promises from the LAST election this is very self centred and not on mission

    This thread is nothing more than another "reason" to rant. What's going on where you live? Dont worry about our guns, dont worry about our showerheads.

    I wouldn't worry about it.

    Worry more that Trump is about to win re election.

    All the stuff going on in the world and Dirty Donny took the time to talk about water pressure from shower heads?

    WTF has the country come to when the president thinks that is an issue that deserves his time. And his supporters defend him for it.

    SMH.

    Start here, if even half is true..... (and I challenge you to point to some examples) Bet reading this chaps your ass...IF YOU EVEN READ IT

    Do you dislike that he made cruelty to animals a FELONY? Do you dislike he gave billions to stop the opioid crisis? He destroyed ISIS, killed how many terrorists without going to war and ohh wait everyone said we’d be in World War III by now with North Korea? Largest producer of oil? Do you dislike him because he wanted to build a wall to keep criminals and drug from coming in? Do you dislike him Because he just slashed the price for medications and some cases 50% which is driving big Pharma nuts?

    Do you dislike that he signed a law ending the gag-order on pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving options on prescriptions? Do you dislike that he signed the Save Our Seas Act which funds 10 million per year to clean tons of plastic and garbage from the ocean? Do you dislike that he signed a bill for airports to provide breast-feeding stations for nursing moms? Do you dislike that he signed the biggest wilderness protection and conservation bill in a decade designating 375,000 acres as protected land? Do you dislike that he loves America and puts Americans first?

    Do you dislike that he made a gay man the ambassador of Germany and then asked him to clean up national security and unclassified as much of it as possible for transparency? Do you dislike that he’s kept almost every campaign promise (with ZERO support from Congress who work against him daily!) plus 100 more promises because Washington was much more broken than he thought? Do you dislike like that he works for free, donating his salary to different charities? Do you dislike that he’s done more for the black community than every other President? Do you dislike that he listened to senator Scott and passed Invest In Opportunity Zones to help minorities?

    Do you dislike that he passed prison reform, which gives people a second chance and has made quite a huge difference for the black communities? Do you dislike that he passed VA reforms to benefit the very people who served our country and defend our freedom? Do you dislike that he’s winning and signing new trade deals that benefit Americans, instead of costing us more? Do you dislike that he loves his flag and his country? Do you dislike that he calls out and has shown all of us that they ARE Fake News, and they twist the truth to control and mislead the people and he is trying to protect us from this? Do you dislike that he’s ending wars?

    Do you dislike that he has made a commitment to end child-trafficking and crimes against humanity and has made 1000’s of arrests already? Do you dislike he’s brought home over 40 Americans held captive, the last one from Iran? Do you dislike that he’s proven he was right about the Deep State and he was spied on? Do you dislike that he was a Billionaire before he ran for President and now is worth at least 1/3 less... because he loves America THAT MUCH? Do you dislike that he’s making the world pay their fair share for the UN for protection? Do you dislike that he respects cops, veterans, ICE & First Responders? Do you dislike that he does not sell out America to other countries, like the leaders prior to him have done? Could it be possible that the ones who SELL OUT America to line their pockets OWN THE MEDIA AND HOLLYWOOD and hate him so much for trying to expose them and hate him for putting the PEOPLE first that they manipulate our thinking and control the information we get to steer US to hate him?

    These people benefit when you hate the man trying to stop them... so they won’t have to give up the wealth they have gotten and continue to get thru mass taxation and control. Wouldn’t you at least want to RESEARCH this possibility? Could 65,000 Americans already know the TRUTH... that he has done more for blacks in the last 20 years than our last 5 Presidents put together and is actually NOT a racist but you believe he is because it has been drilled into your head and yet you’ve never researched his accomplishments? You can start by watching those daily briefings he did during the lockdown (all on line) and then watching the coverage on the Main Stream Media and how they twisted it. Do you actually believe the President encouraged America to inject bleach?

    Did you research the effects of UV LIGHT which is used to disinfect SCHOOL BUSES and medical equipment and is also being used as a treatment for bacteria and respiratory infections by injecting it into humans (search Healight but don’t use Google... they are part of the Deep State and manipulate what we see! And they sell our info, which is why you see merchandise pop up the day after you searched for something! Use Duckduckgo)!!!

    They want you to believe he is stupid because if you figure out that he isn’t, they will lose billions of dollars and all their control. I know... it is hard to let go of what you believed to be true for most of your life. You are not alone. But your blind hatred of this man who is literally trying to save us from the far Left, radical Socialists is going to be detrimental to our country if you continue to support their hatred. They are teaching hatred and separation... even in families! You are not allowed to agree with “part” of their agenda and think for yourself; you must repeat their FULL belief system or name-calling and insults ensue... this is the definition of a cult! All or nothing! They despise LAW AND ORDER. Just look around you. He supports it, so we are safe and can live in a civilized society. He stands for unity and America first.
    You will be amazed at how much more peace comes into your life when you turn off the fake news and turn on the true America, where we focus on what unites us, not what divides us. The media hates him from day one. Impeachment was on the table before he was elected. Impeach the **********#^*r but his rhetoric is bad? He’s never given a chance yet he’s done more in 4 years than any president with zero help from the media or democrats. Results don’t lie onto the radical left.
    How dare he care so much about America. Love it or leave it.
    Do your research... I have!

    As for the recovery, he is the man who wrote the book on the Art of the Comeback.

    He told Whirlpool workers, "We are building factories now. We are building plants. You'll see what's going to be happening with the job numbers very soon. We had two of the best months ever in the history of our country, and we are going to have many, many very, very successful years, unless somebody comes along and destroys it by doubling, tripling and quadrupling your taxes, and quadrupling something else called regulations."

    The next day, July's employment numbers came in. President Trump has presided over the best three months in employment history adding a whopping 9.3 million jobs in just three months. That is more than 100,000 people hired every day.

    Maybe lots of people will be buying new shower heads soon....
