Which is why whoever approved it should be taken out back and, uh, terminated.
The idea that honoring insurrectionists who beat the shit out of cops, who desecrated the halls of democracy and broke an unbroken tradition of a peaceful transfer of power… in some how democratic is a slap in the face of every American. Even the fake-ass patriots.
I don’t know, I reread it and that quote on the plate sounds pretty sarcastic to me. “To loot, urinate, and defecate through these hallowed halls to overturn an election” sounds more like a dig than actual reverence to me.
They posted a plaque honoring the people who broke in
There’s no indication of a bait and switch, as far as the “art” was concerned.
Whoever approved the permit and allowed that art to be installed needs to have their employment terminated. This is a severe fuck up, and no, “democracy” doesn’t need to tolerate such bullshit.
It’s political satire. Read the full plaque again. It is extremely well excuted.
I’m legitimately disappointed the duration for the permit appears to be so short.
Regarding the employment of the personnel who approved the permit, that’s uncalled for. I’d recommend reading and internalizing the First Amendment. They really have.
Yep.

We must remember what they did, as it is an antidote to complacency.
They aren’t honouring them. It’s literally a giant turd to make fun of them. That’s the whole joke.
A giant turd on pelosi’s desk?
yeah. Not a joke.

It’s an action that is celebrated by the insurrectionists and those that support them.
I have a hard time believing the artist/people that placed it aren’t supporters. It’s an extremely misguided thing.
And as for whoever approved it? It’s the freaking national mall, some decorum is warranted. “It’s just a joke, bro” doesn’t really work here.
The article quotes the permit application, which calls Pelosi’s desk symbolic of the integrity and democracy which the rioters desecrated.
And they’re being made fun of for it.

I did.
They got a permit, it was approved.

It seems like you took the words on the plaque very literally. The intent was to mock the rioters and to mock Trump.
