When you flush a toilet with fecal matter

There is the paper and the “log”. Now some toilets due to the construction of the flapper take a little longer to flush but eventually the force of the descending water in addition to the Coriolis Effect eject the material into the drain-waste-vent pipe. Now as we have all experienced, sometimes the log takes a little longer to go down but down it goes: either the first flush, the second flush (often due to the smaller tank of water conservation toilets) or as a last result, with a plunger.

Trump is the log: it’s only a question of effort but down he goes into the abyss of the metaphorical political sewer.

... then I got to the punchline!

As I was reading I paused every half sentence, was looking at

Your post count, check
General Discussion, not lounge, check
Good grammar, spelling, structure, check

So I kept reading despite the subject matter. Well done!

Richard Pryor had a bit on that.

There was one in Man Who Knew Too Little, too. 'Spencer knows how to deal with floaters. Tell him to use a plunger or we're all sunk.'

We all know Trump and his cabal are sickening - even the Republicans who know Putin is paying him.

The trouble is getting enough hands to agree it is time politically to pull the lever to flush him.

Once they do, Trump will have no problem submerging to the bottom of the septic tank of history.

Americans: "What do you mean 'you missed'?"

The fact that Trump is a piece of shot is obvious, but the Senate is kind of like a big wad of congealed shit clogging the line.

As Donald Trump flows through the pipes to hell, he might destroy the pipes. But, Will they take him down there?...........
