I will usually pick the toilet straight up and set it in the tub if there is one. Put a towel in first to protect the tub finish and then tip it front to back several times to cause the water to come out. You can set the toilet into a pan big enough to hold the bottom and then carry it outside or rock in in the pan. There is only about a gallon at most in the base of the toilet after you have flushed it.

Why after replacing the wax seal is there a water leak between the toilet and floor when you turn the water on even before you flush?

What could be wrong with a basement toilet if you have to use a plunger every time you flush it even with clean water even after you ran a snake from the top and bottom after removing the toilet?

Either the toilet is plugged or the sewer line under the toilet is plugged. At this point I would suggest calling in an expert (plumber) to determine the problem. You have not given enough information to say. Sounds like you do not have enough water pressure coming in to wash the waste away. Check out the holes under the lip of the toilet seat to see if they are blocked, causing you to get an inefficient flush. Our new toilet is much better at flushing with lesser amounts of water.
