Giant '86 47' found marked in the grass on the National Mall

This looks like a Plants vs. Zombies aesthetic, LOL.
Fascists are notoriously thin-skinned.
They also notoriously love a double-standard.
You dare question the corporate news sewer, peasant?!
With your . . . logic and . . . reason!
Solid reporting in that final paragraph.
National Park Service workers were seen roping off the area Thursday afternoon, and National Guard members appeared to be directing the public away from the grass. National Park Service workers were seen later roping off the area.
My family and I visited the Capitol building maybe four years ago and there were no fewer than 7 layers if fence between me and the door.
The National Guard are doing more to control the scene of the lawn than they did during January 6th.
Because orange hitler refused to call them in.
What about even later? Were they seen going home for the day?
Do the workers need to be rebooted? Or like, is the rope they’re using not long enough? Are they just walking laps with a too-short rope, endlessly attempting to enclose a volume they will never have a long enough rope to enclose? Just chasing the end as it moves away from them with each step?
Does their struggle represent the American dream? Is there a smug geometry teacher somewhere yelling “this is why you need to know the formula for perimeters!” at their news source?
Sometimes grass just do that
No. This is the work of a Hero with a lawnmower
My favorite acts of resistance are the ones that make the fascists look stupid, it's sometimes hard because they're very image conscious, but it's sometimes easy because they are in fact stupid.
And sometimes it's easy because they're very image-conscious (and stupid).
I'm sure a bit of photo enhancing will bring those other digits right out.
Enhance, damnit! ENHANCE!!!
LOL. LMAO, even.
Any news on how they did it?
My first thought was maybe a roundup or acid soaked towel? That could explain the pixelated look.
I thought roundup doesn't work on grasses? But I agree that the pixelated look suggests they couldn't directly see the process and had to map it out beforehand and follow through row by row or something.
It worked on my lawn, I sprayed some weed and then there ended up being a circular hole in the grass that took a year to close. And that was the last time I did that.
what does 86 47 mean? I missed that
86 - slang meaning "get rid of"
47 - Trump is the 47th (and 45th) president of the US.
oh, thanks. 15 years in the US and I still trip on idioms sometimes. I forgot about "86" (probably because I never understood where it comes from).
There's a folk etymology that it comes from a particularly infamous speakeasy with two entrances, one on 86th street, and unruly patrons would be forcibly ejected from that entry.
oh interesting
It's pretty old-fashioned, so no surprise! It comes from the hospitality industry, but where the term itself comes from is unknown.
It means trump should be removed from office via impeachment.

Dilute bleach. Someone did this to a neighbors yard with a large penis.
