The administration in all their professionalism did not only remove this, but they replaced it with their own weird propaganda. The site now* reads:

Red banner:

The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

Weird religious quote (what the fuck is up with this shit anyway):

“God blessed us with this great nation, and together, we can increase self-sufficiency and empower Americans to climb the economic ladder toward a brighter future.”

– Secretary Scott Turner

Is this "radical left" in the room with us right now?

I can't help but associate the word "radical" with surfing. As if it wasn't difficult enough to take the threat of the radical left seriously already 🤙

Red, blue, orange, or purple?

Same here. I've been thinking about the movie Surf Ninjas almost non-stop recently.

Have I been using the wrong thumbs up emoji this whole time…?

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

🤙is clearly an extremist symbol used by the radical left and must be avoided at all cost

I'm looking at you, deputy Rafael

The red banner now says:

The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need.

https://www.hud.gov/

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 14 points 1 month ago

Oh great, and now they added a yellow pop-up window as well, also stating that "The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need.".

It keeps evolving. Good stuff.

It alternates, when I first visited I got the message you saw, when I reloaded because I messed up the html I got the message Cabbage saw.

Who is making these updates if the government is shut down?

I like to imagine it’s literally Elon Musk, ever the site admin. Ever the internet mod.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

An "essential" employee, apparently.

I actually had a MAGA tell me recently the “deep state has taken over”… when I tried to discuss current politics with them. Like… Trump is now the deep state? I couldn’t get them to elaborate. Probably something to do with reptilian shape shifters. I wish I was joking.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 21 points 1 month ago

I like to agree with them, “Oh yeah. I heard the deep state is sending the army to invade Portland”.

Here I am, been an American citizen my whole life, yet still had no idea that calling out the POTUS for kiddie diddling fell under the purview of the DHHR...

The Senate and the House are Congress.

You're the first to notice. I wanted to include all 3 words so no magats could think the leftists were controlling either/or.

[–] hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

I know what I'm putting on the aux next.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

This is what it looks like right now

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Lol, half of the houses in the background picture are not even reachable by sidewalk.
