A Golden Toilet - a perfect metaphor for what the Orange Snowflake is doing with America. If one supports the snowflake, one might be reminded of the riches the man has achieved. If one is among the opposition, one is reminded of the excess, cruelty and evil the man represents. A recent google lookup provided the following result when queried about the Guggenheim, an art request by the snowflake, and the museum's response:
The Request:
In 2017, the White House requested to borrow a Vincent van Gogh painting, "Landscape with Snow," from the Guggenheim Museum for the private living quarters of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Museum curator Nancy Spector responded that the painting was unable to be loaned, citing that the painting was part of the museum's Thannhauser Collection, which has strict rules against travel.
The Offer:
As a counter-offer, Spector suggested a long-term loan of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's work titled "America".
"America" is a fully functional toilet made of solid 18-karat gold.
This piece had been on display at the Guggenheim, where visitors were invited to use it.
The artist offered the toilet to the White House "for a long-term loan".
Interpretation and Reaction:
The Guggenheim's offer was seen as a satirical commentary, poking fun at the excesses of affluence and the art market.
Some viewed the offer as a "sick burn" and a form of protest against the Trump administration.
The exchange became a widely reported news story and sparked debate about art, politics, and social commentary.
I feel that this was a perfect response, and more appropriate today than it was several years ago, as the snowflake seems to be trying to flush America down the proverbial toilet. Without his history of bad governance, he is known for vulgarity and bad taste. Can anyone mention anything about him or his actions that is subtle? I doubt it.
As I write this, the G7 summit has started, and he has been proven to be an embarrassment there as well. I feel that it is only time that the GOP will be forced (for its survival) to push him out of power. But it will take a larger than life gaffe for this to happen. And the signs are there. At the G7 conference opening, he pushed to have Russia readmitted to the former G8. (Russia was kicked out of the group after its invasion of Ukraine in 2024.) Would any sane political leader advocate that while Russia still occupies Ukrainian soil? I doubt it. Sooner or later, the snowflake's lunacy may force the GOP to confront its biggest problem - the Orange Snowflake. Right now, it will not survive without its cult leader. And I can't wait for that day.

But enough of that stuff.
Today, I woke up with absolutely no energy to do more than go to the bathroom, then back to bed. It wasn't until I made myself some lunch and had a few drinks (non-alcoholic, of course) to quench my thirst did my energy level rise enough to stay out of bed for the rest of the day.
Through the course of the day, I received two packages - both delivered to the entryway to my group of 6 apartments, and not to my door as in the delivery instructions. This is a minor annoyance, as I had to get dressed to go to retrieve them, but not enough to complain about. (Most people leave their residences at least once per day, so they'd see their packages upon returning home.)
The package from Target contained a Blazer Dress that I don't see me wearing until the cooler weather comes around. And even then, I plan to pair it with black leggings, so that my legs aren't as exposed as they are on the woman in the photo above. Who knows, once I get a lot of travel out of my system, I might want to return to the workforce again.
Now, I have to find ways to reenter the social world, so that I can make use of all of my wardrobe.
