Oh, wow. I'd like to already predict that this is going to become a talking point in the EU.

"Nicknames: Temu Obama" (and others)

"Heroes: Anyone who identifies as a radical leftist. Transnational gangs, illegal immigrants"

You want your allies and partners to be honorable and reliable. Allowing this content to remain on a presumably reputable government website long enough for people to talk about it, leaves a rather sour impression. *.gov was supposed to represent all of the American people.

And that "trumprx.gov" advertisement on the top just ticks off my fraud detector. But, apparently, it is a legit government project.

Just because it’s a legit government project, doesn’t mean it isn’t also fraud. Given the current administration, I’d assume it was both until proven otherwise.

Both "trumprx.gov" and “Trumpcard.gov” said they were created by the National Design Studio which points to https://americabydesign.gov.

Cringeworthy Quote:

     The same way a hotelier anticipates the needs of their guests.  This is the hospitality design for our nation.   This is President Trump going bigger than President Nixon.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. If only.

It's highly irregular to have a .gov domain with this sort of content.

Scroll down to the "major events timeline", its only irregular for now...

I didn't see an issue until I got to 1998, what the fuck is wrong with us? We shouldn't have allowed this to happen.

It’s actually illegal, but we don’t have laws anymore.

Yeah remember when Al Gore got in a lot of trouble for using his office phone to make campaign solicitation calls?

I remember when wearing tan pants was controversial and supposedly unpresidential. This is beyond bizarro world. In the Bible there were hypocritical "leaders" called the Pharisees. Seems there a modern day party of them.

Very inappropriate for a government website but amusing nonetheless. Makes me glad I'm not American. You guys are having some serious governance issues.

We are a deeply unserious people who deserve every drop of destruction headed our way.

I feel bad for the people involved in doing this. It’s just… sad.

I feel bad for their victims. Cruel children spending their lives hurting people is sad, but there is no way to be engaging in this sort of thing without a clear blackness in your heart. These aren't victims or fools who've been duped. These are people who signed up to go to work every day and think "how can I hurt as many people I hate as possible."

Sometimes you get shit like this. Other times you get ICE agents ripping people out of car windows and leaving their toddlers in the backseat. Still other times you get the government moving heaven and fucking earth to deport a man who everybody agrees was only slated for deportation by accident.

A majority of the electorate think this is just fine and dandy. Deplorable, indeed.

True that a majority of the electorate voted for and should have expected this, but Presidential approval rating is in the cellar.

The proof we are in a simulation, is when the White House becomes the troll account...

The man does know how to troll people, and this is sure to make people freak out. The real question is what is this trolling designed to distract from?

Really? Myspace is a nostalgia thing for a small percentage of the population and the popularization of safe spaces are but a distant memory. Everything else is just a rerun of his usual shtick like whining about autopen.

I do not believe that it is designed to distract from anything.

Trump, the leaders within his administration, and the staffers manning the switches all hate the left and simply want the left to experience pain. No other explanation is needed. Some little fascist spending an afternoon doing something to hurt people they hate is what they wake up in the morning to do.

It seems to be an attempt to push blame on the Democrats for the shutdown... in the most childish way possible.

Almost certainly a Hatch Act violation.

You could convict the minions who made the page, but the President and VP are exempt from the Hatch Act's employee restrictions. Seems backwards.

Well, either (1) you aren't a US attorney, so you couldn't, or (2) you are a US attorney, and, under this administration, you would be fired for even drafting the charges, after which, see (1).

At best you could make them admit guilt when they accept a pardon
