Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

    Trump and his supporters are starting to hit their stride. This is only the beginning.

    No doubt. Undoubtedly, words like niggers, sand niggers, kikes, spics, gooks, slopes, slants, and wetbacks may now be uttered with impunity. (I probably have left some racial epithets out.) This is, after all, the Trump administration. There's no telling how low it will go.

    It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.

    Seeing as Trump's daughter is a kike now, having undergone the whole miserable orthodox Jew conversion process, the term probably isn't preferred. Well, I haven't asked her. She might like it just fine, at least in jest from others at her synagogue.

    The cabinet has a couple more people matching those terms you've helpfully supplied. Again, I doubt they'd like the terms, but I haven't asked. Let me know how it goes if you ask.
