   A new memorial has been placed on the National Mall a few blocks west   
   of the Capitol that depicts what can only be described as a bronze poop   
   emoji atop former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk.   
      
   Washington's latest tourist attraction, an art installation, has a faux   
   stone base with a plaque that reads: "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 piece itself does not bear an indication of who crafted it, but a   
   public gathering permit provided to NBC News by the National Park   
   Service says Julia Jimenez-Pyzik of Civic Crafted LLC applied to place   
   it there from today through Oct. 31.   
      
   The permit sought to “display two works of art to express the   
   principles of democracy justice and freedom.”

   The piece is apparently named The Resolute Desk, according to the   
   permit.   
      
   "This desk represents the heart of democracy, where decisions are made,   
   voices are heard, and the future is shaped," the permit states. "More   
   than just a place for work, it is a testaments 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," it continues.   
   "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."   
      
   The permit also says there will be another statue, Tiki Torch,   
   depicting a hand emerging from a stone base holding one. That's   
   scheduled to be installed at Freedom Plaza, on Pennsylvania Avenue,   
   between the Capitol and the White House, at 7 a.m. on Oct. 28, the   
   permit says.
