I thought that Obama stole it.

My first & second thoughts were to the previous DemocRAT White House residents. Willey Jeff & Hilly, just their style!

The previous Duke of Marlborough wouldn’t have done this. But the current one is a bit of a…the word wacko comes to mind.

The previous one was on a British TV show showing off Blenheim Palace with dignity.

The current young one since 2014 was on a British TV show where famous people lived on the street with the homeless for several days. Even though he agreed to do it, he snuck into a five-star hotel to stay instead of sleeping on the street as agreed. Total jerk, he then quit the show when this was pointed out.

To have an extra special visit, take 4 shots of Goldschlager and eat two ears of corn before your visit.

Don’t know about the entire toilet, but the seat weighs 80 lbs accoring to this page. It’s actual 18-karat gold and works; cost estimated as high as $3 million.

Because the golden toilet had been connected to the palace’s plumbing system, police said its removal caused “significant damage and flooding” to the building, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with valuable art and furniture.

A 66-year-old man was arrested. The man has not been identified or charged.

“Thanks...I was pondering WHY a gold toilet was THERE...”

It’s Art.

The name of the toilet is America.

It was placed in a spot where Churchill would have gone to the bathroom.

The artistic meaning is very clear.

We should be disturbed.

More asinine “art”. Some people with more money than brains are now upset.
