Seriously, WTF

The Spanish-speaking version of the White House website was taken down on Day One of Donald Trump's U.S. presidency.

[...]

Within the first few hours of Trump's inauguration on Friday, the official White House website's 114 page links had dwindled down to just 38, according to Inverse. Meanwhile, the entire Spanish-speaking website itself was no longer anywhere to be found.

[...]

The page, previously maintained by the Barack Obama and George W. Bush administrations, went dark by late Friday afternoon, as Inverse reports. Now the link WhiteHouse.gov/espanol leads to a 404 page with a message that reads "Sorry, the page you're looking for can't be found."

[...]

Still, on Monday, the president's press secretary, Sean Spicer, told reporters that getting rid of the White House page for Spanish speakers was not actually intentional. Rather, he said, the new administration is still figuring things out.

  AOL
Ain't that the truth? But not intentional? Sure.
"But we've got the IT folks working overtime to continue to get all of that up to speed. Trust me, it's going to take a little bit more time, but we're working piece by piece to get that done."
And one can only wonder what the site might include if they ever really do bring it back.

What else?






(Yes, it's still down.)



...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
