I have a memory for some things, especially if they are monumentally stupid. For example, I remember when, back in March 2011, Sen. Rand Paul declared in a Senate hearing that “my toilets don’t work in my house” and “we have to flush the toilet ten times before it works.” At the time, he was addressing Kathleen Hogan, the deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency at the Energy Department. It was part of a larger rant in which Sen. Paul complained that the government was threatening him with prison if he used the wrong light bulb or dishwasher and seriously argued that women have more choices about how to obtain an abortion than he has about how to dispose of his poop. How’s that for Men’s Rights?
I mention this now because I was reminded of it when I saw that Donald Trump has an explanation for why his hair looks like it’s been treated with “rubber cement and snot” and has the color of either “Burnt-Cheetos Auburn” or “Cigar-Stained-Teeth Blonde.”
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says water regulations are making it difficult for him to keep his famed mane clean.
Asked about the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Waters of the United States” rule at a campaign event in Aiken, S.C., on Saturday, Trump said it significantly impairs his ability to rinse, lather and repeat.
“I’ll give you one regulation,” Trump said. “So I build, and I build a lot of stuff. And I go into areas where they have tremendous water. … And you have sinks where the water doesn’t come out.
“You have showers where I can’t wash my hair properly,” he added. “It’s a disaster.
“It’s true. They have restrictors put in. The problem is you stay under the shower for five times as long.”
When Sen. Rand Paul was done blaming deputy assistant Energy secretary Kathleen Hogan for his massive unflushable shits, she had a simple rejoinder: “I can help you find a toilet that works.”
Who will find The Donald a shower that can deal with rubber cement?
Okay, this is funny. Everyone other than The Donald can see that his thin mane doesn’t need more than two teacups of water to rinse away shampoo lather. Now those with thick heads of hair, like Hillary or me, could, but don’t, complain about low flow shower heads or EPA mandated crappy water (not that the EPA has ever done that). How can anyone be so ignorant and stupid not to know that the variation in water quality is — well, natural?
If what he’s saying is true, shouldn’t everyone in the nation have Trump hair?
Whatever The Donald uses on his hair can’t possibly be sanctioned by the EPA, so no wonder he’s against regulations.
So the Donald isn’t competent to select a good low-flow shower head, and Rand Paul can’t do basic research to find a functioning low-volume toilet…and they think they should be President?
Re toilets, I recommend the Toto Drake and the Drake II, even though they are made by a Japanese company in a foreign land (Georgia). I have three. I have to tip my hat to the Japanese engineers. I’ve never seen anything flush better.
“If someone wants a toilet made in the USA, then I sell them a TOTO Ultramax, or Drake II. I get asked sometimes why the Drake II is a bit more then the original Drake. It has a taller bowl, comes with Sanagloss and has double cyclone rinse. Also, the boxes say “Made in the USA”. They work great too. Made in the USA. “
Well, made in the Confederacy, anyway.
On the other hand he did say he didnt like what Scalia said. So Im feeling a bit more Grump positive today.
The thing that’s amazing to me about these kinds of comments is that most people presumably know how well their own showers and toilets work. I personally don’t have any reason to blame the government for the state of my plumbing, because my plumbing works fine.
He can always go to rent a center for a power washer.

MSM explanation: Trump’s in an exciting GOP nomination contest against the deepest bench of GOP candidates ever seen. Democrats have already decided on the nomination. Ipso facto, doesn’t matter that Sanders has more supporters and more campaign contributors than Trump.
MSM explanation GOP candidate coverage disparity: “We did focus on Carson when he took the lead in some polls, and now with Cruz moving up, we’ll get to him real soon as well. And don’t forget, Fiorina got a lot of love from us when her star was rising.”

I don’t believe for a minute The Donald washes his own hair.

It’s more damning in its entirety.
