Discussion: Trump Admin Bans CDC From Using Words Like 'Science-Based,' 'Diversity'

Keeping Amerika dumb and pregnant!

Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.

Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.

And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!

Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

“If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself.”
-President Barack Obama

“Those who would purposely mislead or seek to confuse others are bad people. Worse, they are evil.”
-Kathleen Parker

You Got To Run!

Riiight.

Puppet. Putin’s effin’ Puppet!

They’re gonna try …

Trump approved words to be used by the CDC. Good, bad, sad, fake, fake news, and everyone knows.

Diversity
science-based
evidence based…

Just to make things perfectly clear…you cannot say the word “Jehovah” either.

These things are enforced by funding levels. Researchers are stuck having to write proposals to government agencies to do their work. In this months Science there is an article about how DOE is requesting the words “climate change” be removed from their proposals.

‘C.D.C. bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes.’

“And since most red states face an obesity crisis, and in accordance with community standards, 32’/s/s is hereby annulled for all Confederate areas.”

Not all damage is reversible.

They call that entity “pre-born”. gag.

Which is funny because that is the last thing Carlin would believe. Carlin wad clearly an atheist.

Thereby hangs a dog’s tail.

Oh! Me! Me! Call on me!
Thought police!

They sense a disturbance in the Force?

You forgot the fuckin fries. Super-size this!

Isn’t this just a little like living in North Korea ?

DT’s new CDC Director. It’s also disturbing that he said he’s “going to re-build the FBI”.

From a November NYT article after the VA elections:

"In Washington State, Democrats won a special election to take control of the State Senate, establishing total Democratic dominance of government on the West Coast. Democrats took council seats in vote-rich Delaware County, Pa., in the Philadelphia suburbs, a perennial congressional battleground. Even in the Deep South, Georgia Democrats captured two State House seats where they previously had not even fielded candidates while snatching a State Senate seat in Buckhead, an upscale area of Atlanta. Chris Vance, a former chairman of the Washington State Republican Party, placed the blame squarely on Mr. Trump:

“Among college-educated suburbanites, he is a pariah.”

The current Republicans in Congress don’t give a shit, but the long-term damage that Trump and his fluffers in the GOP are doing to its prospects among the college-educated are catastrophic, just as they are with respect to minorities and women. If you poll the college-educated, you’ll find that those who do continue to support Trump or Republicans are basically the Fox News demographic: old and white.

Among young college-educated, support for Trump and the GOP is cratering. If you subtract out those whose degrees are from Bible colleges, the percentage of current students and recent college graduates of accredited public universities and private liberal arts colleges who support Republicans is even lower. The GOP is very far down the road of being a political party primarily for white nativist bigots and racists evangelicals and other conservative religious nuts without college degrees.
