Didn't Gerald R Ford take famously massive shits that caused so much damage to the White House plumbing that it had to be upgraded during his tenure?

The Burger Reich may have to delay their invasion of Iran because these idiots can't even build a functional plumbing system. 🀣

Since it's a vacuum system, a problem with one head can cause all of the toilets in that part of the ship to lose suction, making it difficult for the maintenance crews to isolate a problem. The crews find everything from T-shirts to a four-foot piece of rope clogging the system. But the most common problem seems to be a part of the back of the toilet that comes loose.

How'd they manage to fuck it up that badly. It's honestly impressive

Well obviously the sub contractor has friend who was sub contracting for the shell company that manages government contracts for their buddy 5star General who worked at the pentagon and died shortly after they green-lit the construction of the carrier, didn't do a good job. But what can you do? There is money to be made, and at the end of the day the functionality of what the contract specified isn't a requirement for getting paid.

But we're know for making AC and toilets that can handle large people. Next we'll find out they are also getting tropical skin conditions because its making the interior 99% humidity constantly

I don’t know why parts of toilet seats are breaking off; they cost $100,000 each so must be sturdy??
