Call your legislators office asking about this and Epstein while pretending to be conservative
I could have sworn that "human trafficking" was the cudgel that conservatives were using to justify their ban on porn.
Or is this a situation where they get rid of the department so that the administration alone can define what human trafficking is?
And it battles illegal immigration. You'd think they want to stop that, too???
Oh wait, that kind of trafficking hurts brown people so it can stay.
Epstein who?
The thing here though to note is, they're not legalizing human trafficking, they're just massively weakening it so they can't investigate people making a lot of money on it.
De facto decriminalization. Coming to a trafficker near you (like, really near you - probably in a hotel within 5 minutes of your house)
Tbh, it's been that way ever since I've lived here. Dboyz hook them in, they can't pay the bills. One told me he was a "bodyguard." I guess if you look at it a certain way, they guard bodies they "own." This is a minimum wage, "right to work” state.
Dboyz?
Drug dealers
Im not sure what other way this headline could be interpreted.
And since it is decriminalized, it creates a constituency to make sure it stays decriminalized.
The pedophile party making life easier for pedophiles once again.
I mean that would be against the interest of Epstein and his buddies.
Buddies = governments, mega corporations, ultrarich
But Trump is the anointed one who will expose all the adrenochrone-swilling pedophile democrats.
Right?
Yes. Spot on. Exactly. Correct.
...
Or maybe, just maybeeeee, he's the one involved in a paedo trafficking ring and he is covering his tracks?
His actions pretty much explain which is the easiest to believe. So judge him on his actions...
Our government is being run by pedos.
Always has been.
It's almost like they dont want to oppose it.
Republicans: The pro-life pro sex trafficking "conservative" party.
Are you still talking about Epstein? /s
I do find this a bit odd, though. Because there's no better way to do whatever you want than to piggyback it on a "save the children" narrative. Seems like these departments could have played a key role in their authoritarian overreach strategies.
Where is the convicted human traffickers, Tate brothers? Why are they there? Who is responsible? What hot topic are they caught in??
in a game of a thousand cuts, when do we slash back??
Yup you covered all the W’s.
More evidence that someone is spinning up a new business with a certain client list that "doesn't exist".
Of course they do
For a second I misread the punctuation, IE I thought it meant "to combat human trafficking, the state department guts it's office".
Hmm, so who are they protecting by doing that?
