Said John Waters, adding that "The Jan. 6 people, they [expletive] in Nancy Pelosi’s office. So maybe we should go even crazier politically correct the other way and have fecal flash mobs going out there."
The quote is in the NYT — "John Waters Is Ready to Defend the Worst People in the World" — so that's why "shit" is written "[expletive]."
The NYT adds a footnote: "One of the men charged in conjunction with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was accused of defecating on Speaker Pelosi’s office desk."
I did not know that. Did I know and forget or was that just not fit to print until it was needed to explain what the hell John Waters is talking about.
He continues: "I’m just saying humor is how you fight. It’s how you make people change their mind. Everything I’ve ever done is about using humor as a weapon. I don’t think I’m mean, but everything’s touchy now. When things are touchy, isn’t that when comedy gets more exciting? Always, I was trying to satirize the rules of the world I lived in. At the same time I was trying to make you laugh and to see, What are the limits?"

Is it even true that someone left shit in Nancy's office?
First - we don't know if it's true because our media is so full of shit.
Second - If someone did leave shit in Nancy Pelosi's(D-billionaire) office - they deserve a golden statue.
The Insurrection that forgot to bring guns but remembered to shit on the regime’s desk.
"One of the men charged in conjunction with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was accused of defecating on Speaker Pelosi’s office desk."
Oh, It's a dirty job, but someone's got to poo it.
♪♪♪Whooooooooa Whoa Whooooooooooooooooooooooa♪♪♪
Very common refrain from the Left when called out: "Oh I never thought you'd take me seriously, I was just being funny, being provocative". They even pull this shit in court cases.
No one pooped on Pelosi's desk, and no one was ever actually accused of doing so. Some were heard and/or recorded shouting for somebody to do it, but no one did. Perhaps Waters is conflating the incident where someone posted a video of himself pooping on Pelosi's SF driveway (he titled the video "Poopalosi") "as a protest against a lack of resources for people living on the streets — while people in power, such as Pelosi, are able to get haircuts and live their daily lives fairly unchanged.' (I am quoting the NY Post, not the individual himself).
Shame on the NYT for allowing Waters' misrepresentation to stand without clarification.
Comic transgressive.
I did not know that.
Because it never happened???.......but it's how you get people to change their minds!!
Fart's are funny. That kind of shit not so much.
Lefty comics were long ago cancelled by the left.
John Waters movies were the litmus test for radical sexual free speech back in the 1970s and 1980s. They likely still are. [Plus, consider The Human Centipede.]
Johnny Rotten of the anarchistic Sex Pistols came out in support of Donald Trump, as the left had become too dogmatic.
NYC Jerry Seinfeld stopped doing shows at universities 20-25 years ago because students had no sense of humor.
Left-of-center The Simpsons were literally cancelled by the left for the Apu character and actors "acting" as another race.
Joe Rogan is a left of center stand-up comic facing numerous left cancellation efforts.
Russell Brand is a left of center comedian and "guru" facing left cancellation efforts.

The left is splitting into incompatible groups. The non-radicals will be ejected and forced to join the "right" because they have nowhere else to go. John Waters. Republicans today!
So, if "one who slings mud loses ground", can agree that "one who flings s#!+" is full of it?
The guy made infamous by having his star transvestite “Divine” scarf down runny dogshit in a movie is quite the arbiter…
Rub his nose in it.
so humorous
hardeharhar
Tell the real women in the 500 free who “lost” to Thomas to just laugh it off.
My youngest swam in high school. Swimming is a very tough sport. Those girls worked very hard. The NCAA is a disgrace.
The same Ukrainian Nazi who appears fighting Putin in video from the war is in video from the active violent core of the mob on J6. Who was he working for, Pelosi, their paymaster, or Trump, their enemy who was impeached over interference with their little project In Ukraine. Which is going swimmingly, BTW.
Is it so hard to believe that our country has been utterly corrupted by the huge mountains of cash our oligarchs have amassed in tech and weapon sales and backsheesh on foreign aid?
John Waters lamely attempting to rationalize being a shit through comedy by using shit as edgy mirth making. Fatuous fecal failure.
The race to the bottom.
Should get the civility bullshit tag.
Some protesters were already doing that to police cruisers in the Occupy and George Floyd block parties. Nothing like putting the BM in BLM.
No humor with our leftist mafia government +Castro-Pelosi and the corrupt and slimy Gail Collins of the world.
That’s humor?
5th grade humor, maybe.
So shitting on furniture is humorous? Since when? Well, perhaps "dropping stool on a stool" might work for grins if anyone really could understood the intent of your double-entendre.
So going forward, we just need to call a spade a "God-damned shovel" and forget the humor.
The NYT adds a footnote: "One of the men charged in conjunction with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was accused of defecating on Speaker Pelosi’s office desk."
Accused by whom? The NYT? Video, or it didn't happen.
It's turds all the way down.
Well, Waters always had a little thing for coprophilia. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069089/
I was amused to see him pop up in a cameo in the new season of "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"... I laughed & said to my wife "Wow... John Waters is still alive."
Will the pronoun protesters will also be prosecuted and threatened with 20 years or so of prison time--like the January 6 people? If so, I suppose I'm not opposed to Waters' plan.
How do they know the man crapped on Pelosi's desk. Did they do a DNA sample?
I keep hearing that the protestors smeared feces in the Capitol, but I have never seen a picture of it. It seems that in this day and age of ubiquitous cameras there should at least be some video or photos of it. Not that I want to see smeared poop. I'm not German. It just seems like one of those accusations that's too good to check.
Q: Did the Jan 6 transgressors actually shit in the Capitol? Or was that a quick, mass rumor that appeared days after the event? I note there are news stories about it posted on January 8, as if that little bit of news was handed out to the same news outlets on the same day and time. Not that that would be surprising.
But that this is the first time you, or I have heard of this happening makes me think it's a cult rumor that is being kept alive in the recesses of progressive party talk and has become 'known knowledge' even if it's neither known or fact.
The fact that it's stated in the NY Times does not help it's accuracy or make it more reliably true. In fact, today it makes it ever more questionable. But..back to John Waters who I know I should be celebrating because....GAY!...but I cannot. I've never seen any of his work. Just no interest on my part.
The NYT adds a footnote: "One of the men charged in conjunction with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol was accused of defecating on Speaker Pelosi’s office desk."
There was an accusation that the protesters had smeared feces in the Capitol somewhere, but I had never heard any details (location, etc.) to support the claim, so I had thought it was probably a lie, especially given that feces is a common left wing protest "tactic," if you can call it that (e.g., the occupy movement, or, more famously, the left wing protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention).
Now, at last, we have actual details, so I'm going to have to view it as more likely to be true. Absolutely disgusting.
People are already defecating out in public in Nancy Pelosi's district. I don't understand John Waters point and ambition.
Sounds like he hasn't heard of Antifa.
"I did not know that. Did I know and forget or was that just not fit to print until it was needed to explain what the hell John Waters is talking about."
You fail to consider the third possibility that it is not true.
It's not. Unless you wish you lean on the "was accused" language.
This is an example of why people question you when you say you know that the Times is biased.
Your first impulse was to believe it because the Times Magazine printed it.
Shit just got real.
Throwing shit around isn't "humor."
But then I remember Pink Flamingos.
Said John Waters, adding that "The Jan. 6 people, they [expletive] in Nancy Pelosi’s office. So maybe we should go even crazier politically correct the other way and have fecal flash mobs going out there."

must make Nancy feel right at home with memory triggered by olfactory essence
What are the Turd Limits? I'd say, on a good day, about fifteen meters.
So is leaving a flaming bag of turds on John Water's doorstep fair game now by his admission? I'm assuming his merde a merde comparison was saying this was now an acceptable level of expressing political dislike.
". . . was accused of defecating on Speaker Pelosi’s office desk."
A better use for that desk than her use of it to un-do the USA.
I am a little skeptical of the assertion that someone defecated on Pelosi's desk. Can't read the NYT article due to firewall, but it's odd that 1) we have NEVER heard this allegation in the news or social media, and 2) the NYT doesn't identify the charge under which this "accusation" falls. The term "accusation" doesn't have to mean that something is part of a formal government charge---it can just mean that someone somewhere said this happened.
"I’m just saying humor is how you fight. It’s how you make people change their mind. “
It’s respectful, if you stop to think, because it assumes the other person is capable of processing alternatives to their realities. It’s the most effectively disarming speech style there is. The left I remember used to be funny. Today, not so much.
It's an excretive, not an expletive, when shit means shit.
John Waters is from Baltimore (spit). His film "Pecker" was filmed in the Baltimore neighborhood where I lived for 5 years. He is most famous for introducing to the filmgoing world the transvestite (but NOT transexual or transgender) gay actor, Divine, in Pink Flamingos, including a scene where Divine eats actual dog feces.
https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/jliepx/divine_eating_dog_poo_in_the_john_waters_film/
Why are the opinions of John Waters on anything other than transgressive film considered of interest?
What???
Can't Nancy polish that turd, and pass it as a law!!
The guy accused of pooping on Pelosi’s desk is the same guy a accused of killing Officer Sicknick with a fire extinguisher.
Boy, is he ever in trouble.
I don't think shitting on a desk (if anyone did), or on a driveway, or on a police car, or on city sidewalks is humorous or a form of protest. It seems more like a sign of mental illness.
Even if I could accept it as a form of protest, it bothers me because the target of the protest is not the one who will be affected by it. Some poor janitorial worker is going to have to clean it up. Please keep your bodily excretions to yourself.
What's up with Waters 'stache? It's thinner than a pencil type made famous by David Niven.
Isn't it nice of Althouse to rub your nose in your previous treason support to take your mind off hoovering Putin's cock for one day. Thanks, Mom
About two weeks before 911, I was at Hartsfield Jackson, plowing through doors for replacement at a crazy pace because the people running the show were in a panic. They knew it was coming. I went to the bathroom, saddled up to a urinal looked over and there was John Waters. I mentioned fancy meeting you here. He laughed and propositioned me. I laughed. He laughed. Big things happened a little later.
The height of comedic power. “I offer you shit! Are you not entertained? Is this not what you have come here for?”
I din't hear this either AA.
Which means it is bullshit.
It would have been front and center in the MSM for the last year.
However, if it's true it's no big deal.
Congress spends all of their time shitting on us.
Fair is fair.
"The guy made infamous by having his star transvestite “Divine” scarf down runny dogshit in a movie is quite the arbiter…"
It wasn't runny, actually.
I would also add that pooping on someone's desk doesn't sound very insurrectiony. It sounds like you want to leave something nasty for someone you dislike to find. And Nancy Peolosi returning to her office as speaker of the house again seems contrary to what one would expect would be the goals of an insurrection.
"I’m just saying humor is how you fight. It’s how you make people change their mind. “
If you shit on someone else's lawn, the only thing you convince them of is that you are an asshole. What some people find funny, others think of as just being rude. Waters isn't self-aware enough to understand that.
>>But then I remember Pink Flamingos
In case anyone didn't get the reference, the rather large transvestite actor Divine (a Waters regular) notoriously ate an actual dog turd on camera near the end of Pink Flamingos, as part of an effort to establish that she and her cohorts were "the filthiest people alive."
Serial Mom and Hairspray were fairly entertaining movies. I have passed on the rest of the Waters oeuvre.

Careful. Freder Frederson will tell you that in your heart of hearts you were wishing for Waters to be already dead.
"Why don't you just SCREAM it?!", he'll....scream.
We’ll just tell the kids that Mr. Hankey came to visit Nancy one day to cure her fecophillia.
I think a couple of commenters here live in San Francisco. No doubt they could easily hire a fecal flash mob of fifty or so Democrat voters in the Tenderloin for a couple hundred bucks.
Howard: "Isn't it nice of Althouse to rub your nose in your previous treason support..."
Looks like someone fed Howard another hoax dossier.
Fool him once, shame on you.
Fool him 17,845 times, shame on Howard.
And here I thought Biden's sellout to Iran which will financially benefit Putin and Xi would have left Howard sufficiently content.
So that New York subway fecal smearer was actually a John Waters agent of Wokeness, responding to a wrong pronoun? No wonder he was released without bail. Presumably, the NY District Attorney will throw the book at his straight woman victim.
I have always liked John Watters anything goes movies. Serial Mom was a great satire of an ecological psycho in suburbia.
Drago the Trump Traitor apologist is disappointed that by standing up to his master Putin, the Lefty libtard Free World has China panicking because they can't feed themselves without Russian ammonia and Ukrainian wheat, Taiwan is now untouchable and their rapidly greying demographics will doom Xi's legacy.
What will you fraidy cucks do when your boogie men dry up and blow away.
No photo? No video? No DNA?
No shit.
There are some lies in the article. The Times has invented this fake footnote sidebar to explain some of them away, which is pretty funny: the footnotes reinforce rather than correct the mistatement, and they don't cite legitimate sources.
Waters is anything but unusual in his sick elevation of murderers and torture-murderers like Leslie Van Houten. He also lies about the circumstances that returned another killer to prison.
And then the Times uses its little red "footnotes" to cover up the lies.
Propaganda is the opposite of edgy. And spending decades mocking the surviving children of murder victims is a lot more banal than eating shit -- or lying about it. I didn't realize Waters had become such a dullard.
If the NYT reports it, it must be true.
Poland really did invade Germany to start WW2.
On horses.
Yessiree
Well I heard he force-fed a turd to Pelosi's dog and the dog shit on the desk.
Which sounds more likely.
