Smokey Bear must be hanging his head in shame.
"The Radical Left Democrats shut down the government. This government website will be updated periodically during the funding lapse for mission critical functions. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people."

(15,593 posts)Website, social media accounts, emails - everything that can be used to communicate, are property of the US Government, and basically, there's some Script Kiddie probably embedded with the Chief of Staff or Press Office going through all government sites and adding that message to pretend there's a powerful, united front against "Evil Democrats" who caused the furlough.
Even internal Government HR and Benefits sites are getting this spam splashed on their home pages.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
