White House says order will ‘make America’s showers great again’ and ‘end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure’
All this reminds me of is that video of that guy who’s friend “upgraded” his shower pressure. And it was just one hyper-powerful stream out of the whole shower head. Wish I had a link.
Enough with the executive orders. Jesus. Is this a national emergency too??
executive orders are better than laws since executive orders have no weight and are easily undone next administration.
They are also very commonly used by most modern presidents, but most of them haven’t had much attention brought to them, while Trump’s basically all have. Mostly because they’re pretty much all stupid and/or controversial.
And that most of them exceed the authority of the President and Executive Branch. See climate change related EO.
They’re massively performative and make the plebs and cretins who think politics is WWF theater feel like things are happening. They can be hugely destructive and cause massive repercussions, but they’re not as long-reaching and permanent as actual policies and bills being passed through house and senate.
There is no next administration.
To Trump, not having every person’s attention only focused on him at all times is a national emergency.
He wants everyone to know that he did it
It makes him feel like the big boss, without any rules or opposition.
I think it’s an extreme case of attention seeking.
Remember when Obama used a few executive orders and the Republicans accused him of trying to be a king?
I’m confused, is it the turds not flushing or the skiddies that he’s withering on about?
God DAMMIT Tomtits you have to stop waffle stomping in the shower!
At least it saves water
Any chance he’s doing this so he has another excuse to try to go after Canada’s supply of fresh water?
Just another ”fascist playbook” thing. Declaring war on pointless, or almost pointless, stuff to make people feel that the country is ”under attack” and to downplay actual important stuff
Also part of the “dominionist playbook”, which states that YHWH gave the earth to humans to dominion over it, which they think mean “should deplete its resources ASAP without any second thought”.
you can always tell when an idiot watches a seinfeld rerun
A good not the onion headline
I like it
“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump said as he signed the executive order. “I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous.”
“But I think Donald Trump’s concerns are somewhat out of date, to tell you the truth.”
Back to around the '30s from what I can tell.
Those would have been his Daddy’s concerns - you know, the Daddy that gave him all that money, GREAT man.
This is a ploy from big bidet to take over our toilets with pristine water pressure that can douche-clean your asshole and I won’t stand for it, god damnit!
Because you have to sit to use the bidet?
I feel like it’s April 1st all over again.
Bill Murray should do a sequel.
A horror comedy.
The US has been in a perpetual state of April 1st since november
Every day feels like April fools except the only prank is my future getting stomped out.
Less regulation my ass.
Say that to my bidet
A powerful clean.
So powerful you’ll see Gawd when you use it in winter
I had to recheck 5-6 times while reading that this was the guardian and not some sort of mock guardian/onion news site
“shower freedom”, this has to be a late april fools right? RIGHT?!
Ngl, I checked the date on the article
Me too, it’s so absurd.
However low you can possibly imagine stupid people going, they’ll disappoint you
And Trump is their king…
Low flow shower heads have long been a talking point for him. Guess he can’t wash the grease off without a power washer.
I wonder how many of those political decoy flares he has in stock. Useless stories that ire up people just to distract them from real problems. Like the “Gulf of America” thing, or the showerhead pressure.
I might have missed the one wherein he makes electric cooktops illegal but I think that one is still coming, at least. And potatoes must use masculine pronouns. And it is domestic terrorism for Taylor Swift to be a meaniepants anymore. Something, something Dr. Seuss. Masturbation will make you blind (please self-report to the nearest blinding centre).
