    'The White House has removed official transcripts of President Donald
    Trump’s public remarks from its government website, replacing them with selected videos of his public appearances.

    As recently as Sunday, transcripts of Trump’s speeches and comments were still showing up in the “Remarks” section of WhiteHouse.gov. The next
    day, they were gone, snapshots of the site from an internet archive
    show. The only transcript appearing now is of Trump’s inaugural address
    on Jan. 20.'

    'Asked why Vance is putting out official transcripts while Trump is not, Vance’s office declined to comment.

    Historians and former White House officials denounced the move to do
    away with public transcripts that have long served as the definitive
    record of what the president says in public.

    Dominique Dansky, who was the White House director of stenography during Trump’s first term and part of Joe Biden’s, said that foreign embassies rely on the transcripts to translate the president’s remarks for their
    home countries.

    “I have oftentimes received requests from other embassies looking for presidential transcripts so that they can be translated and read by
    their own citizens and government officials,” Dansky told NBC News.

    She added that the transcripts are an efficient way to learn what
    exactly the president said, as opposed to sitting through an entire video.'

    It's almost like making it difficult to research what Trump has said is
    the point, huh?

    Thank God! Heaven forbid whitehouse.gov should post the demented ramblings
    of a vindictive, conspiracy-addled, bumbling idiot.

    No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
    Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and
    doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone
    of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
