First of all, this is the first thing that pops up when you visit the website:
But wait, it gets worse.
Once you get in, you see that Trump’s inauguration takes up the entire main page. You know what? I’m fine with that. I mean it makes sense.
What I’m not fine with is this:
As of yesterday (I’m on the Wayback Machine), these are the issues that the Obama Administration listed, leading to pages which went into detail about these issues and what the Administration was doing about them.
Again, that’s from the Obama Administration.
This is the current Issues Tab under the Trump Administration:
No, I haven’t cropped it. That’s it. That’s the entire list. All of those are the issues that Trump’s Administration cares about.
The civil rights page? Gone. Climate change page? Gone. Health care page? Gone. Disabilities page? Gone. It’s all gone. Everything is gone.
They also completely took away all of the pages on Obama’s initiatives, all of the pages on internships and involvement in the White house, all of the pages on different ways to protest (other than the We The People petitions), and for some reason, they even took out most of the pages in the history section. The famous virtual tour? Gone. A detailed history about the architecture, the decor, even theee customs and traditions? Gone.
But here’s the best part.
Most of the ‘Briefing’ section has been cleaned out as well and the tab for weekly addresses has been completely removed.
Well isn’t that just…disturbing?
It’s worth noting that this happens every presidency, the Obama administration’s whitehouse.gov will be archived and none of this was taken down by Clownstick himself. Not that it makes me feel ANY better about the next four years, but for once it’s not on DOFUS
So just for you, I spent the past half hour tediously searching through the Wayback Machine.
This was the page Obama had right after he took office after Bush:
Notice how, even though the website changed overnight, he still put in a huge list of issues including virtually every one listed on the website yesterday?
But wait, there’s more.
I went back and looked at how Bush’s page looked before the Obama Administration changed it. And guess what? Bush had an entire list of issues that resembled the ones listed on the website yesterday.
But wait!
There’s more!
Back when the Internet was new and the webpage was just a bunch of text, Clinton had an entire list of issues like the ones listed on the website yesterday.
So, no, this isn’t something that always happens. The website changes but the issues have always stayed the same and they’ve always been prominently displayed.
my favorite thing is when people from your high school who got married at 20 and have three kids at 22 post shit like “living with your significant other isn’t all fun it’s constant fighting and discomfort and never being happy! constant misery is natural and expected don’t get your hopes up! buy these pyramid scheme beauty products btw”
I was going to be like “an AU where all Leia writes all her official dispatched he exact same way that Carrie Fisher tweets,” except I think we all know in our heart of hearts that this is in fact canon, and the first thing you learn in the Resistance is a basic fluency in emoji
One time the First Order manages to intercept a few official communiques and they’re all like “wtf is this code” while Kylo Ren is standing to the side just dying inside because MOM GOD THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING
darth vader would never write like this
THIS IS THE MOST VITALLY IMPORTANT THING I HAVE BEHELD OH MY GOD
“darth vader would never write like this” Kylo is right. vader would just write orders with reactoin gifs and shitposts. Need to kill a jedi who survived? He would find a gif of some jedi being killed during order 66 and photoshop the survivors head onto them and a stormtrooper helmet on the clone trooper.
