Acosta proposing 80% funding cuts for the government agency that combats child sex trafficking.

[EleanorR]

Acosta’s plan to slash funding of a critical federal agency in the fight against the sexual exploitation of children is contained in his financial plans for the Department of Labor for fiscal year 2020. In it, he proposes decimating the resources of a section of his own department known as the International Labor Affairs Bureau (ILAB).

The bureau’s budget would fall from $68m last year to just $18.5m. The proposed reduction is so drastic that experts say it would effectively kill off many federal efforts to curb sex trafficking and put the lives of large numbers of children at risk.

They are all monsters.

1. Enabler of child rapists worldwide.

[madaboutharry]

3. I am beginning to wonder if this is some kind of worldwide cult of sex traffickers and child rapists

that also involves those who have attained government power. I've never owned a tin foil hat, but none of this makes sense to me.

[Hotler]

28. I'm with you on that thought. This Epstein thing could be...

the Panama Papers of pedophilia and sex trafficking of the master-of-the-universe. I think there is a dark dirty secret in Washington DC involving this stuff and it goes back a long way.

[Qutzupalotl]

32. Consider that Pizzagate was projection.

Now think about the migrant children who were separated from their parents and “lost” in the system.


Not that I’ve found a connection, but I would not put anything past these sociopathic, sadistic cretins.

[Midnight Writer]

50. Remember the Finders? Look up the Franklin Saving and Loan Scandals.

Of course, it is all conspiracy theory nonsense, isn't it?

[olegramps]

8. That is how you pay for the rich assholes tax breaks. Plus it providesopportunity for exploitation.

[spanone]

2. K&R...

[real Cannabis calm]

23. recommended to publicize

[duforsure]

4. trump and the gop

Are sexually abusing immigrant kids , backing cuts to prevent child sex rings , and backing Epstein, Acousta , and trump all protecting and maybe participating with these child sex rings. When will they resign, all of them. Their is no place in our government for people who protect these people, period, or protect them from receiving their full consequences for their horrific crimes against children. 2020 will not be good for them.

[lagomorph777]

5. I think Trump is selling the girls from the concentration camps.

[dlk]

9. Florida Congresswoman, Frederica Wilson Recently Said as Much, on MSNBC

I wouldn't be surprised. There is no limit to these degenerates' behavior.

[lagomorph777]

12. Oh, wow. So it's in the public forum now. Keep asking what they're doing to the girls.

That horrifying prospect will motivate voters (and de-motivate some of the slightly less-evil republic voters).

[dlk]

18. It's Critical that Public Figures Keep Asking About and Continue Looking for the Girls

We can't forget them for a minute. The predators never take a day off. Less obvious and fewer in numbers, but still just as horrific, are the boys that are being trafficked.

[lagomorph777]

35. Yes - good point. And frankly, we keep pretending that the adults in the system aren't victims too.

We can't forget about any of them.

[dlk]

38. Yes, It's Not Just the Children Being Abused & Exploited

Every day, new horrors are revealed and the taxpayers are funding it all.

[PatrickforO]

22. In ordinary times, you'd be accused of being a tin-foil conspiracy nut. But these are not

ordinary times, I don't think you're a nut, and I wouldn't put this past Trump at all. I wouldn't have thought of it, but when you brought it up, the first thing to cross my mind was that it might be true. That just sucks that we have come to expect these vile things from our president because he does this shit all the time.

He is a total evil dirt-bag.

[Wawannabe]

47. Yes

Bad that this is plausible in America.
Terrible bad.

[jmowreader]

29. I've thought that for a while, just not to sex traffickers

There’s a minor fad among really extreme Christians that involves adopting foreign-born children. Eastern Europe, mainly Russia, used to be a huge source of supply until the Russian government decided they no longer wanted to be part of a baby peddling racket. (Which is what makes Don Don’s claim the Trump Tower meeting was about adoption somewhat believable...I’m certain Trump thought he could get the kiddie pipeline restarted.)

Then all these refugees started arriving...by stealing the children and deporting the parents, the faux-Christian adoption mills could fire up again.

[kimbutgar]

44. I've been thinking this for some time

They are sex trafficking these children.

Recently I was flying back from Arizona and saw this woman with these 4 children who didn’t look like they were her own. I commented that she had two sets of twins and she said the two youngest girls were actually triplets and the third was a boy flying into Los Angeles. I thought that was as wierd and the 4 girls were holding new dolls, the triplets were about 4 and the younger girls about 10. It was very strange to me and they were seated in first class. The 10 year old girls looked kind of dazed. It bothered me the whole flight. I looked for them at the baggage claim but they never showed up. I wonder if these kids were being transported for nefarious purposes. They could have been light skinned Hispanic kids.

[Chakaconcarne]

6. did this proposal release before or after

the Epstein story broke?

[58Sunliner]

14. According to article-in April.

"Clark grilled Acosta about the proposed cuts in April."

[Faux pas]

7. This just makes

me think that my original thoughts about all the missing children was that they were probably sold and/or trafficked might just be correct.

[lagomorph777]

13. +1. They are deliberately doing this to enable their own personal depravity.

[smirkymonkey]

17. At first I didn't want to believe it because it seemed too horrible to imagine.

However, now I think you may be right. There is nothing too low or repugnant for these vile, disgusting men. They have no souls.

[notdarkyet]

19. Let's ask Devos

About all the children she took and farmed out. Where are they?

[lagomorph777]

34. Cruella DeVos is probably making million$ on the sex trade.

Er - I mean "education of the girls."

[Butterflylady]

10. They just don't care

About children any more. It's all about money and power.

[Wounded Bear]

11. If you're surprised, you haven't been paying attention...

[mercuryblues]

15. I think it is time to consider

if Acosta is a "client" of Epstein.

[58Sunliner]

16. What is in Acosta's closet.

All these repuke men in power look like traffickers, rapists, pedos, or enablers-sociopaths and psychopaths.

[iloveObama12]

20. Gee Whiz!

Every damn day it's something with this administration...

[PatrickforO]

21. You know, the war on women is sickeningly, disgustingly, horrifyingly REAL.

I hope women are getting angry, and that they will show up in record numbers to vote Trump out of office, and turn both houses of Congress blue.

Because we are SO going backwards here.

And Acosta...he needs to be in the dock for sex trafficking himself. Funny how he's in a position to sabotage our efforts to nab other sex traffickers.

Well.............it's NOT funny. Not in the least.

I promise all of you I will be voting in November 2020, if I'm still alive.

[Enoki33]

24. I often wonder if Acosta was given that job as part of a payback for

agreeing to the initial Epstein settlement. His current 80% budget cut proposal fits perfectly with some of the speculations about the fate of incarcerated immigrant girls. No words to describe the level of criminality our present government is capable of. The disgust however is palpable.

[struggle4progress]

25. "We must think of the Epsteins!"

[gratuitous]

26. Thank goodness someone is

Why should running a child sex ring ruin Jeffrey's life? I hear he comes from a good family. Pillar of the community. Really wealthy (not that that makes any difference whatsoever, and not that there's anything wrong with that). These exploited girls are just trying to bring down Jeffrey! So unfair.

[lpbk2713]

27. No small coincidence here.

He's protecting his interests.

[Politicub]

30. And so brazen. They know their base will not only allow,

but encourage things like this.

It makes me furious. Which they probably get off on, because they’re “sticking it to another lib”.

[Eugene]

31. How perfectly Trumpian.

Acosta's depravity goes above and beyond the call of duty in MF45's criminal enterprise. No wonder why Individual 1 likes him.

[AlexSFCA]

33. talking about optics

he is de facto child sex trafficking enabler

[KY_EnviroGuy]

36. Protecting only the interests of big business around the globe...

legal and illegal.......

This is the modern GOP.

[NCjack]

37. Wiping out tracks to lead back to his buddies. nt

39. Women need to take over. Period.

I'm done with hoping men are civilized.

[Hekate]

40. Briliant timing. "Everything Trump Touches Dies"

[Blue Owl]

41. Trouble, Acosta?

[warmfeet]

42. What a surprise.

Not!

[pazzyanne]

43. So let me get this straight:

"The bureau’s budget would fall from $68m last year to just $18.5m. The proposed reduction is so drastic that experts say it would effectively kill off many federal efforts to curb sex trafficking and put the lives of large numbers of children at risk."

The party whose pResident tells us that he is stopping sex trafficking at the southern border has appointed Alexander Acosta as Secretary of Labor, who in turn is cutting the budget to pursue sex trafficking. How does that make sense anywhere except in tRump world?

[RainCaster]

45. Acosta loves little girls in a very different way...

Nobody I know would ever want to be involved with Epstein, but thus guy finds him a sweetheart deal. Then he cancels the budget needed to fight sex trafficking. Coincidence?

[Hassler]

46. Hey, Dems try a little harder to make this an issue.

[ChubbyStar]

51. A-fucking-men
