Now the Forest Service is calling us the "Radical Left Democrats"? WTF?!

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."

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.
