Title: Snowflakes Being Triggered

QuoteThe Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation’s top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases â€" including “fetus” and “transgender” â€" in any official documents being prepared for next year’s budget.


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.”

In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of “science-based” or ­“evidence-based,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” the person said. In other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.

Quote from: Nineteen Eighty-FourThe greatest difficulty facing the compilers of the Newspeak Dictionary was not to invent new words, but, having invented them, to make sure what they meant: to make sure, that is to say, what ranges of words they cancelled by their existence.

But yes, I can expect full on ideological purity ... both WH and DNC (see recent reports on DNC to insulate itself from all ideas of Bernie-bros).

See ... ideology is bad ... but only the wrong ideology ... not the idea of being a maniac.

Apparently more than half of the US citizens voted Republican in 2016.
Mostly because of rather that than Hillary.

IMO the system allowed a nominee that they thought that there is absolutely no chance of being elected. Spectacularly backfired.

Why is this innate hate everything Republican? I do not think they are any worse than the other side.
They are all cut from the same cloth.

TDS* is strong here.

How could she have been worse????

So, I've been told?  I have checked many sources and they all agree on the vote count.  No, I don't think there is or was any conspiracy to get the vote count wrong.

About 60% of Americans voted, and 3 million more who did vote... voted Democrat over Republican. So how in all sweet fuck can you say that 50% of Americans voted Republican?

And the fuck is "...or so you are told" suppose to mean?

Can for once, can you just shut the fuck up about American politics and culture, when you have proven time and time again you know literally jack shit about us? Que chingados, guey...

Al Gore was also part of a political dynasty.  So I am not sure of the 2000 election.  John Kerry was part of the plutocracy.  So were those elections vs George W any better?  Control of the narrative, including control of any viable candidates ... is not new to 2016.

No.  Actually you are ignoring the fact that there ARE people of honorably analytical nature.  Judges are trained in such impartiality (some of them anyway.  And as strange as it may seem, professional analysts would do that fairly. 

I would too.  And I would like to.  The challenge of creating fair districts appeals to me.  The question would be whether the directive was to create balanced districts for competitive elections or if the districts should be to creat the most geograghically compact districts. 

I could go either way.  Anything so long as the districts are not politically constructed.

No Bullshit, and understand THIS!  I am too straightforward and analytical. I did my job in the Gummint for 30 years telling managers when they were wrong (and right) and I paid for it with lost promotions.  I made a job based on reality and eventually was appreciated.

Never said that, and that is too typical of you.  I merely said that, given a rational request such as fair re-districting, I would act on it rationally and without intent to give advantage.  Given a factual question, I reply factually.

You, like so many other people on the left, you have been brainwashed by the Marxist to hate your country, your culture, and civilization and you don't even realize it.

You, like so many other people on the left, are working furiously to dismantle western civilization, to self-destruct.

Here is a question - what will you replace it with?

What kind of utopia do you have in mind?


The novel 1984 by George Orwell was a warning, not an instruction manual!

Honestly, it's reached the point where even I am burned out on politics, because at the end of the day it's reached a point where my country doesn't even pretend to represent me anymore. It's like living in Italy, or Mexico... the government is corrupt to it's core, and sure there are good people... but they don't have any power. Just instead of mafioso or cartels running the country, it's corporations and "white collar" crooks.

Much better to focus time and energy on social issues rather than political, at least until election day.

I'm taking a note from my brothers book, his approach is just to focus on the stuff close to you that matters. vote on the stuff you want to see changed, but if it doesn't work out, just remember the smaller stuff. Lifes to short to get stressed over things like politics all the time, and trust me, I've had a bucket load of stress over this season to even focus on politics

Its true we don't always see eye to eye on these things, but we can agree its better to take a step back from arguing online. Sometimes its good to have differing thoughts on the way the world works, but I'd always sooner people reach a middle ground near enough or agree to disagree. I've said some stuff myself sometimes I regret, just cause it seemed easier to throw it out.

You and a bunch of people throw that word 'communist' around a lot.  Most don't know what the hell a communist is--do you? 

And there is no such thing as a 'communist'.  Never has been.  There are/were Russian communists of various stripes, Chinese communists--each area or country has it's version of what a communist is.  Basically what we have traditionally called a communist is an enemy.  And each area/country had a dictator who was called a communist.  They do not mean the same--never have; except for those who can't think or don't want to think.

Yeah--you are completely partial.  You remind me of the typical Repub of today--you love to sling labels around not caring what they really mean; create sound bytes that seemingly sound good, but are actually empty.  I hear the term 'flip-flop' and think of you.  I actually like my politicians to flip-flop--that means they can and will change their minds when there is evidence they should.  I don't see how any  sane, un-stupid person can look at any repub in office and think they are there to do a 'good' job.  What has the repub party done lately that is of any value except to their own?  And yes, I do realize you are a disillusioned Dem--so am I and probably just as bitter about it.  I do not think the Dem party is our saviour--all politicians are out to line their pockets and do what those who have bought them want them to do.  In my dream of dreams I'd like a party that actually does give a shit about the country as a whole.

And Independent from 1996, didn't vote for Trump.  Last R Presidential candidate I voted for, was in 1984.  Yep, typical Republican ;-)

Yes, if you want a party that cares for real people, you have to go out and build one.  American politics sucks because of the "wishing tree".  I wish X was true!!  What did you do, as a D-party member, if you still are one ... to make sure that the D party has good policies and good candidates?  Typical voter for either party ... "well I showed up on election day" ... and many don't even do that.

I hope you have a good day, and a good new year.  But then I am completely partial.

Everything in the public domain, is a pissing contest unfortunately.  I don't have to be correct, I just have to genuine.  True to myself.

I know you have few words, but you do use them well.  I hope you have a good day, and a good new year.  But then I am a fool.

I'm glad you realize you are completely partial.  I am not a Dem--not since the late 70's.  I vote independent; I look at the issues.  Right now I'm registered as an independent.  I have been registered as a rebup or a dem depending upon which primary I wanted to vote in.  right now I am pretty much thinking the only cure for US politics is a total removal of all congressional members and start over.

And one of Trump's favorite words is "MONEY"!  It is now clear that he ran for office, expecting to lose, and planning to use the "candidate" fame to increase his wealth.

Correct again.  I have to enjoy all this Tea Party winning, even when you are the cracked pot.

Sex maniac couple who corrupt in a way that makes Nixon look like a nun?  Uranium One.  Traitors.  If you don't like how Republicans run their party, seize power, like you want to do here, and make them have a less embarrassing primary season.

So ... you did the dance of the seven merchant banks for them?  Salome, you bitch!

Trump has connections to Epstein too, but I didn't vote for him either.

So a consenting adult, with a consenting adult...  And that's the same as teens stalked by a 30 something Moore?  I don't get the equivalency.

All politicians are criminals, and known to the CIA.  That ways, the CIA tells them how to vote.  This is an old KGB technique.

Is that you, Mr Weinstein? ;-)  Consenting adults means ... RICO.

Yes, there are a lot of sex predators who post here, over the years.  We saw that in the pro-pedophilia sting, and more recently in the pro-prostitution sting.

Vote for who you want ... but it doesn't matter when the CIA chooses the candidates, and counts the votes.  See Stalin for a quote on that.
