The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) members of Congress told itself to F-off on the plaque honoring the Capitol police that defended members of Congress on J6.

martinlongman.substack.com - You cant visit the january plaque

The Republicans bolted the plaque in a place inaccessible to the public.

For now, the plaque is bolted to a wall in a granite hallway reached by a set of stairs leading down from the Crypt, the vaulted space beneath the Rotunda. At the top of the stairs sits a sign stating: “Closed to all tours.”

The bipartisan law that requires this plaque to be displayed, specifies that it be placed “at a permanent location on the western front,” which doesn’t sound like it means “inside” the western front, hidden from public view.

The fact that they included a QR code for visitors to download even though there can be no visitors is quite telling:

On the wall near the plaque, staff on Saturday affixed a QR code titled “Honored Law Enforcement.” A scan with a smartphone takes the viewer to a 45-page list of names.

“Unescorted visitors cannot access this part of the building, and would be removed from the Capitol if they were discovered,” [Former Capitol Police officer, Harry] Dunn wrote in a declaration also filed in court Tuesday.

It seems like a new fad with the GOP to defy court orders and the law, and when they reach a point where they feel absolutely compelled to back down, they engage in half-ass compliance.
