Terrible headline, I assumed the statue was suggesting the people involved are shit. The fact that it’s on a desk makes it very different, this is despicable.
I mean, it happened.
Paragraph 17. (Link opens justice department public PDF on the issue.)
Edit: And it is suggesting as you said. Mrs. Pelosis name is there as it was her desk. (I think she is retired and I mean her no disrespect.)
Yeah if the point of the statue wasn’t clear, the blatant sarcasm of the writing on the plaque on it gives it away.
Kinda says a lot about this country when someone can make a statue of a turd on a desk and people aren’t sure if it supports the desk poopers. Honestly if that plaque wasn’t on the side of it I would bet a lot of January 6’ers would share it thinking it was made by their team. Hell a lot of them probably still will on account of not being able to read.
I'm just barely sure. Only the phrase "overturn an election" convinces me it's anti-Jan6'er.
All the rest of the copy, while you can read it as dripping with sarcasm, can also be read straight and sound exactly like the praise those folks get any time they come up with a maga in conversation.
Even "overturn an election" is more neutral than I really wish it was.
Poe's Law has leaked into reality.
For real!
