[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]We always knew that Trump's inauguration was going to end up in the toilet, but this is getting ridiculous. A huge number of portable restrooms have been brought down to the mall for the inauguration. The largest provider of these in the area is Don's Johns. Today workers have been out covering up the name of the company -- which is printed on the side of the johns -- with tape.  [b]Apparently someone thinks it would be disrespectful to Don Trump[/b] to have his name associated with port-a-potties. But, disrespectful or not, Don's Johns likes the advertising so they have dispatched workers to remove the tape. This may end up in a literal pissing match. Also, probably not the best time to be purposely highlighting associations between Trump and urination.

Apparently, according to the Post, you're wrong.

Love all the fake news on this website, keep it coming![/quote]

And, here is the pertinent part from the WaPo article:

[quote]The answer ended up being more bureaucratic than any indecent theory. The Architect of the Capitol is taking responsibility, and says the government did it to bring the toilets into compliance with the Capitol’s restrictions on advertising.

“The AOC is in the process of covering or removing signage on the portable toilets to bring them into compliance with Capitol Grounds restrictions on advertising,” said Justin Kieffer, spokesman for the Architect of the Capitol.[/quote]

But who pushed the Architect of the Capitol to care to comply with this restriction when they've never done it before. Those port-a-potties are used all the time, and they've never hidden logos before this event. Why is it an issue now? [/quote]

No idea.  It could be yet another executive order issued by Obama, though.  [/quote]

The Architect of the Capitol doesn't work for Obama.  More likely any order came from Paul Ryan. [/quote]
