Wow - was the WH site always such a propaganda piece for the current administration? Never noticed before, but upon checking out the site just now (looking for the Constitution), the whole site seems to be a straight-up propaganda bullhorn.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's not like I went there often, but from what I recall it was generally very bland professional site.
But Trump is maximum narcissism, and lots of folks are leaning into it to drive autocratic sensibilities.
It's just being revised, nothing to see here.
The website or the constitution?
Yes
Don't worry about it.
Feel the efficiency
Very efficient. Who needs 3 branches of government when one branch will do. /s
Why use lot government when little government work good.
old spice is in charge. paying a multi-billionare to do routine IT and site maintenance. very 'efficient' indeed.
Totally on brand.
These people shit all over the Constitution. They just pardoned terrorists, doing something for the guy that, according the Constitution, should not even be holding that fucking office in the first place.
Can't make this shit up.
Nor that people don’t care about shit like this anymore.
Remember all those movies where America was smart, strong, and just? What a bunch of bullshit.
You're forgetting that the President is typically a decent, honorable, heroic individual in many of those films too.
A lot of movies are more or less subtle political propaganda.
Subtle?
More or less.
It has always been very striking how Americans love movies where in times of trouble disparate people overcome their differences to work together and solve problems selflessly for the greater good, but in real life they absolutely hate this idea.
The cancer that is the republicans hate it. Like real cancer, they only want to multiply, destroy, and make everything them.
fantasies, the whole lot.
Luckily my trump bible already includes a copy of the constitution!
Did they "mistakenly" leave out the fourteenth amendment?
No person buying that shit is going to read it anyway.
Everyone already knows what the constitution says:
We the people, er, can be assholes to you whenever we want and you can't do shit, and we got big guns, and trucks, and fuck you.
🙏 Amen
404 Birthright Citizenship Not Found.
Can’t tell me my executive orders aren’t constitutional if you can’t find the constitution!
Same reason they shut down tick tok. To orange wash it. Now it’s under investigation and he is recommending shutting it down again.
White House.gov had a 404 error DURING the inauguration and with a link that redirects you to the new website. I have screenshots of this I can provide.
Well...post them then?
They're in another school. You wouldn't recognize them.
Lol this was so stupid, why did it make me laugh
At this point I think anyone who gives a damn should order a physical paper copy of the Constitution.
Constitution? Never heard of her
Constitution -> her -> rape target for Orange Shit.
Fitting
The fact that its possible that this was intentional or Musk is pulling random wires again is disconcerting.
Constitution : terminated
No shit. It's not like it really means anything. I think they only use it to fill out the page count in the bible sold by Trump.
All eyes will be on it when it comes back to see what's been changed.
I was about to reply saying that there's no way they would do something that insane... Then I remembered the events of the past week.
