Ya Don’t Say?
Okay, by now everybody has heard that the Trump administration has banned 7 words.
Remember the George Carlin routine about 7 dirty words you can’t say on tv? Well, Trump has the same thing, except they aren’t dirty words. They are words he either can’t pronounce or define.
In a 90-minute briefing on Thursday, policy analysts at the nation’s leading public health institute were presented with the menu of seven banned words, an analyst told the paper. On the list: “diversity,” “fetus,” “transgender,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “science-based” and “evidence-based.”
Well, actually there are more than 7. Through the miracle of modern big time beauty salon journalism, I have obtained a list of the other words Trump wants to ban next week.
Orange monkey face
Doofus
Weird son in law
Putin
Please don’t look at your daughter that way
Puppet
Bad barber
Russian
Collusion
Steve Mnuchin’s wife
The name Robert
Also, the use of the words Trump, Russian prostitutes, and urine all the same sentence will result in a $20 billion fine to be paid to an off shore account held under the name “Not Donald Trump, Okay?”
Also under consideration: WTF
The Rethugs are simply ignoring the insanity of this (mal)administration and are rushing the Make Rich People Richer and Everyone Else Poorer Tax Bill for a vote so that they can give the Orange Moron a Christmas present.
I hope they will ALL be out of a job this time next year.
1How dare the Orange Idjit and his chosen chumps dare step into the purview reserved for Mama? She has our respect which is all the reason we need to eliminate certain words. Dolt45 and his gang have earned no respect and most of them probably can’t spell the words they intend to ban.
Too cold and too close to Christmas for a trip to Dee Cee. Maybe Mama would like to visit in the spring, when she can enjoy the apple blossoms. And, if Dotard45 is still around she can wash the taste out of his mouth and snap some sense into his twitter fingers.
2All I want for Christmas is
325 for 45!
Is that too much to ask?
BarbinDC, what’s Lyin Ryan’s plan after he raids Social Security and Medicare to cover the $1.5 Trillion added to the deficit? Who can the scummies screw and kill, when it’s time to add infrastructure to their next folly?
Little Bobby Corker, alleged deficit hawk, sure folded like a cheap suit with his little bits still in Donnie’s pocket. Donnie must have promised him he could be Sec State after Rex is shoved under the bus.
4Folks, this is getting seriously weird and scary! Now telling us what we cannot say! What the heck is going on in DC, I agree 25 for 45.
5The concepts the words reveal. They are too stupid to understand them so ergo, they are delegitimized. A certain institution went through something like this years ago. It was called the Index. Haven’t heard of it since Vatican II. what with today’s technology, the Index is irrelevant anyway.
6Is that the Trump version of fingers in the ears accompanied by “Lalalalalalala”?
7That explains why Trumps Tweets often sound like someone reading a scrabble board. With all those words banned or MIA, he doesn’t have much left to work with.
It also accounts for his frequent use of ‘Pocahontas.’ Four syllables makes it sound like he knows biggly words!
8You think he knows how to use a dictionary? He probably thinks it’s a dirty word.
9The article “Death to Democrats” covers the tax fraud bill’s goal.
“It’s death to Democrats,” said conservative economist Stephen Moore, who advised Drumpf’s campaign on tax policy.
“They go after state and local taxes, which weakens public employee unions. They go after university endowments, and universities have become play pens of the left. And getting rid of the mandate is to eventually dismantle Obamacare,” Moore said in an interview, arguing that it would accelerate “a death spiral” in the health-care law’s marketplaces.”
States that have successfully defeated Republican takeovers like Cali, NY, etc will see punishment by the Republican party using the tax system.
The national Republican party is a Terminator and those of us who are not solidly conservative, that is, with absolutely no liberal leanings, are the targets.
Redefining terms within agencies is merely a first step in controlling the conversation and changing it to a 1984 sort of thing.
10After the word got out about the banned words, a ruckus ensued, so the ban has been banned:
11https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/plan-to-forbid-words-at-trumps-fda-withdrawn-after-after-report-of-new-cdc-policy-draws-outrage/
Political correctness rethuglican style.
12“Dotard” didn’t make the list?
13@easttxdem: The article just says the FDA hasn’t received notice not to use the banned words.
The words are still (theoretically) banned at the CDC, which probably needs them in budget documents seeking funding for research into evidence-based treatments for illnesses affecting fetal, transgender,and other vulnerable populations’ health in our diverse country.
14I have just one other thing to say about all of this:
Covfefe
15@Jane & PKM: Those incredible DC blossoms are on the cherry trees, and they are a sight to see. Momma should definitely visit in the Spring, enjoy the Tidal Basin, and see if she can knock some sense into Trump.
Banning words that Donnie doesn’t like is beyond stupid. He has no idea what the CDC is or what it does; he just knows words Pence said they shouldn’t be allowed to say.
16I think what worries me about this attempt to control messages by banning word is that it isn’t too far from banning books…scary thought
17I have my New Years Resolution ready because it is my science based entitlement. I hope to share it with a diverse group of transgendered persons and fetuses. (or fetusi?) I have chosen this resolution in an evidence based fashion so it is not vulnerable to banning, or Bannon.
Any guesses? Oh wait. I’ll save it for a few weeks, build suspense for bigly ratings.

This has the smell of Penceian theocracy all over it – Imma thinking its time we start reporting the names of the messengers, no more of this “Administration Representative” crap, name dang names – you gonna participate in the Fascist takeover of this country – I want to know your name
20This REPUG administration is very close to what was done during the Third Reich, burning books, rounding up people to be sent “away”, oppression of minorities, Hitler Youth (aka Devos/ Scientology/evangelical voucher system) and doing away with “defectives”. Hope many of you have been able to watch “The Man in the High Castle” on Amazon Prime. It eerily depicts what might have happened if the Nazi’s had won WWII. with the current nutjobs in charge, it feels right now as if they had.
21Lets have a contest to see who can use all 7 words in a single sentence in the most clever way.
22“I’m in favor of “post-embryonic development” for “fetus,” because none of the idiots who are trying to ban “fetus” will know that it means the same thing without a dictionary. Well, actually, I’m hoping that the CDC tells them to pound sand and takes them on in court, because the whole idea is preposterous governmental over-reach. If they cave, there’s no place where this sort of thing stops.
23That Other Jean, cherry blossoms, of course. However did I mix that one up? After all it was the fabled tree of George’s choice. Obviously my memoria technica for history still needs work.
Banning words seems appropriate. Or, at least appropriate for a guy like Donnie who has never read a book.
24And as far as words banned, I’m assuming there’s an unspoken rule restricting anything coming out of Scotland. Thereby eliminating the need to in include Weaselheaded F**knugget.
25Almost forgot. Sorry mama.
26I volunteer in our community hospital’s medical library. And have for the past 13 years. I am disgusted by this news as the CDC has always been a reliable good source for medical professionals and consumers wanting up to date ,evidence based mediacl and health info.
The doctors and nurses who treat patients WANT evidenced based, researched based information. They want to use the most up to date
INFORMATION to treat you, your family members and your friends.
I have to ask myself why are republicans doing this. They know they are lying to all of us about ‘clean coal’ , climate change.
27They know that the evidence shows that trickle down economics does not work. They know that without EVIDENCE they can lie to us and fool their base.
I can only conclude they are trying to destroy all government services.
We cannot let them win. For our children our grandchildren and the future of our country.
“In case you’re wondering, it is possible to fit all 7 of the banned words into an Advent-themed sentence:
As the vulnerable fetus stirred within her, Mary’s evidence-based song recalled God’s work thru the ages, casting a vision of the end of entitlement for the wealthy, the end of the diversity of oppressions visited on people of color, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender people, and a shift toward care for environment that is science-based not mythologized.”
-Deb Avery
[I found this on FB. Very good, no? D]
28All of the words on that list bother me for different reasons, but the one that hangs in the air like a silent fart is ‘vulnerable.’
Imagine the damage you could do with that.
29Chuck Todd on Meet The Press yesterday did a real number in his sign off using all those words! You had o see it to believe it!
