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."

  Nope, not tired of winning yet. This could be Trump's most difficult campaign promise to keep.

  This will drive many of the worst SJWs at CDC to resign in protest, and by definition every single one who leaves will make the place better staffed to accomplish their actual mission. The problem will be the smarter ones who burrow deep and continue to sabotage the mission.

  Hint: SJWs are not scientists, rarely even pretend very convincingly at being one. The loudest "I fucking love science" types usually know less about science and the ways of the scientific method than a priest. Which makes a sort of sense because most SJWs are priests, of a fudged up pseudo religion of progressivism and social justice.

  Lol. Nobody asked if you were tired yet. But for some reason that was the first thing you brought up. Like some kinda dejected, worn-down, loser desperately trying to convince himself that he's not in denial.

  Oh, how this SJW is luvin what a beta cuck you turned out to be. Turns out liberal tears aren't very nutritious. Why don't you go give Roy Moore a handy and get yourself some protein.

  I think you are right. It looks like the only campaign promise he is going to keep this year is the one to give billionaires and bigcorps a yuge tax break.

  But what can you do, even his own wife [twitter.com] and children [twitter.com] are generals in the War on Christmas. Traitors all around him!

  Actually, turns out this wasn't the Trump administration. The words were already being identified and pushed back against in a CDC presentation pushed out in May or June of 2016 (The internal slide says May 2016, the filename says 060217).
