Poop statue ‘honoring’ January 6 rioters

This satirical statue was installed this week on the National Mall within view of the US Capitol and will remain there for a week. It depicts the desk of former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, with her phone and name plate sitting on it.

“This memorial honors the brave men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021 to loot, urinate, and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election,” the plaque below the statue reads.

“President Trump celebrates these heroes of January 6th as ‘unbelievable patriots’ and ‘warriors.’ This monument stands as a testament to their daring sacrifice and lasting legacy.”

Ha, I like Carl’s solution!

It should stay there longer than a week. It’s perfect especially if Trump wins. V

Pretty funny, though sad that this statement even needs to be made. Maybe Elon will take all of the 'believers' to Mars? We should be so lucky.

I like the humor of this statue commemorating the perpetrators/participants of this sad event with a pile of poop.

Wow, and in 10 days (Nov 05), the USA will either recover its shine and glories or ... will be changed forever. The whole world is watching intently and holding its breath right now.

Wow terrific but how did they ever get permission to install this.

Oh, this is fabulous!! Humour is great to show the idiocy of that horrible day. Great shot too. I wonder who paid to have it installed?
