President Trump bans Center For Disease Control from using 'science-based' words in official reports

[ColonelAngus]

The name of the CDC should be changed. Center, Disease, and Control are all offensive terms.

Like most fake news the Post might justify it with a grain of truth in a private conversation but it's an outrageous and vicious lie to promote an unverified claim by an anonymous unverified source to be government policy.

this is insane!

CDC gets list of forbidden words: Fetus, transgender, diversity

“science-based” or “evidence-based,” are two of the banned words. "Based on the scriptures" is ok.

I also heard that Trump and Putin rigged the election.

Well, I can't argue with that.

But shouldn't they be told things like, "we will no longer refer to homosexuals with names like "gay", but the more scientific term of "fudge-packer"?

Has the CDC used the words "based on Scripture"?

Probably not, but it would be ok with Trump, since it's not one of the banned words and any government document based on the scriptures is sure to win kudos from the religious right. In fact, it might make amends for all that pussy grabbing.

FIRST AMENDMENT! Shut me up Trump as you can't.

Trump is the enemy of freedom and liberty! wake up everyone.

The forbidden words are: “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”

From the CNN article:

Alternative word choices reportedly were presented in some cases. For instance, in lieu of "evidence-based" or "science-based," an analyst might say, "CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,"
Which "community"? Does "in consideration with community standards and wishes" mean that a scientific department now has to serve the wacko cults?

The CDC should use weirdo rather than transgender.

Man what a dick.

Which "community"? Does "in consideration with community standards and wishes" mean that a scientific department now has to serve the wacko cults?

Not exactly, it means that a scientific department has been replaced by a wacko department so it can better serve the wishes of the deplorable community

All part of the plan to make murica great again

Sad!

This is a plan to make the Roman God Mithras great again.

Unsettling!

Op forgot to mention that those words were not to be used IN RELATION TO ANY BUDGET. Dumb ass.

this looks like another trump planted fake news story

to see where it pops out

leaker hunting at its best

dont be surprised if a firing isnt on its way



the stories are fake but the leaks are real

 

[jon_berzerk]

This is a crazy example of fake news. If the Trump administration told the CDC to stop using certain terms it would be in freaking writing and there would be no need for an alleged CDC informant to remain anonymous. Lefties want to believe it because they are still full of hatred and crazy disappointment over last year's election.

the admin very well may have planted this juicy item

to verify who is the leaker(s)

they very well may know who the "anonymous source" is

Trump banned diversity (also known as white genocide)?

About time.

Trump only opens his mouth to swap feet. Trump always has a foot in his mouth but I voted for him. "Get that crying baby out of here."

 

[Snouter]

Lots of funny posts. Seriously though. WHAT THE FUCK IS A TRANSGENDER and WHAT QU33R CAME UP WITH TERM? That sick, pathetic Bruce Jenner douchebag who was once an Olympian and had genital reassignment. He is simply a sick fucking eunuch, not a woman. Also, chicks with dicks do not count since they are dudes with implants, rip removal surgery, etc. It is crazy IMO!

 

[IM2]

Why is it "insane."?

Any guesses why they would do this, other than whining about it?

I understand it, and think it's about time!

So explain why you think its about time Trump decided he could censor free speech.
