Re: “Amazing: The “banned” words were never banned, and were dreamed up as part of a list of suggested guidelines for budget documents by career (non-Trump-appointed) bureaucrats who were trying to avoid ‘triggering’ Congressional Republicans through the inclusion of those terms...”

Not surprised.

When I saw the Washington Post headline last week, that was my first instinct.

My thanks to the Conservatives who had the tenacity to research this issue, and my thanks to Evening Star for posting.

AP’s style guide sways issues likes abortion, illegal immigration, etc and prohibits use of neutral or conservative terms.

These agitprop types know their own games and project the tactics as being of “the other side”.
