Of course, Marcy: tourists routinely defecate on the floor of the Rotunda and smear their feces all over the walls. Didn't you know? (the only way to deal with this stuff is to make fun of it)

Yes, indeed! I remember my last visit to the Capitol - I entered through a broken window after ramming a capitol policeman's plexiglass shield through said window.
It is if you use it that way, Reid. Individuals cannot get new words accepted by ourselves, but together we have a powerful influence on language usage.
In Windows, you can insert an emoji in any text field by hitting the opt/start key at the same time as the colon/semicolon key. A little popup box will appear that will default to your most recently used emojis - but you can also type and it will filter to those that fit. Have fun, and good luck! 😎
This doesn't work for me; must be just in some formats. But the other suggestion above (Windows key and semicolon key at the same time) DOES work beautifully!
zoo animals would poop on the floor, yes, but they would not erect a gallows, chant about hanging the VP, or attack police with sticks and riot shields.
Guess I've been overprotected. I know autistic kids may do that, and prisoners driven nuts by their captivity, but otherwise I can't see the point. What would the equivalent be in words? (I don't mean to drag this out, I'm really curious.) Would it be something like this?: "You disrespect me, and so I degrade you by fouling your stuff!"
Obviously kids with autism, the mentally ill, those in a highly agitated emotional state may defecate and smear it., My perspective, otherwise, is that the person smearing fecal matter is saying: I disrespect you and who you are/what you represent. The person cleaning up the fecal matter, (whether it is the subject or another person) is being shown disrespect by the person defecating because obviously they lack any sense of consideration for others. Degradation: the person smearing their own fecal matter is taking part in an act of self degradation - seriously, how much self respect must someone lack to smear their own excrement anywhere?

I always suspected you had a violent streak.
😇
Enough political talk. What I want to know is how you were able to make an emoji your comment!
On my phone. There's no way to emoji directly in Substack. (Is emoji a verb? Did I just make it one?) 😁👍🤪

Virtual LOL emoji! You have emoji'd me. And I am unable to respond in kind!

😮 I never knew...thanks, Diana!
😍👌👍😎 What a great discovery! Thanks for this.
Hmmm - I could do it until you asked how to do it.
🤣
Ha! I'm on my tablet. I have a little emoji face icon I press and voila! Emoji!💐🙂💐
🌺 Barbara, right click inside the text box. Up at the top is the "emoji app." Click on that to get your emoji symbols. 😉

WHAAAAT? Even on Substack on the desktop? I must try.
🤣
Thanks for the smile y'all...much appreciated!
And tourists routinely cause $30,000,000 worth of damage. But they are normal folks right and they are white so of course they can’t be extremists.
A tourist visit consisting of zoo animals!

Really! Let's not defame zoo animals. 🐵🐯🐼🐗🦓🦄
Was that really done? Whenever I hear about deliberate poop smear, I always suspect it's something someone said to dehumanize that other.
I believe it was well documented and verified by the workers who had to clean the place up--who are mostly Black and people of color.
Plus one legislator.

Yes. It was really done.
Huh. Gross.
It is the ultimate sign of disrespect and degradation.

We could smell it all they way up here in MA. VT is farther away; lucky you, Becky!
Oh yeah...it’s been an number of years since I visited.
