This is so much satire that it's a little hard to tell if it's satire.
- There are people in the comments debating on if this is supporting Jan 6 or mocking them. It's.. it's a.. you know.. turd on a desk.
  And then there's the permit of your still unsure (emphasis mine):
  This desk represents the heart of democracy, where decisions are made, voices are heard, and the future is shaped. More than just a place for work, it is a testament to the ideals of transparency, accountability, and representation. Here, the power of the people finds its expression through the diligent efforts of those who serve the public good. When rioters broke in to destroy these ideals, this desk stands firm, so too must the principles of equality, justice, and freedom that it represents
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.
Reminiscent of [The Embrace] honoring MLK Jr.(https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2023/01/embrace-1024x683.jpg)
what... the fuck....?
Like. No. seriously. What... in the actual fuck....? is this an official thing or did somebody drop it off?
Whose getting fired for it?
- they got permits 😆
  
  Yep.
  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.
- You got evaluated yet?
