Quote:Less funny is that Trump labor secretary who cut Epstein deal plans to slash funds for sex trafficking victims.

Alex Acosta proposed 80% funding cut for US agency that combats child sex trafficking.
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.
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.

How is sex trafficking in the Department of Labor? I would have thought that enforcement, and budget, would be with various criminal investigation and prosecutorial entities ... District attorneys, police departments, and FBI (for interstate crimes) or ICE (for trafficking into our borders). Seems kind of an odd place for child sex trafficking investigations, since prostitution mostly isn't a legal form of "work" anyway and not covered by labor laws.
BTW, some of the things that the guy who arranged the "calendar girl" party didn't say, and I couldn't find any reference to, was 1) how old the girls were and 2) did any complaints of abuse result from that party?
This is just another hobby-horse that SECOND wants to ride.

Acosta's a piece of shit. At the very least he gets fired this week. If the DOJ indicts him for criminal conspiracy he'll deservedly go to prison. That is if the "so-called" DOJ ever gets off its ass with this and the Clinton-Obama FISA/conspiracy/spying case. Do they do anything anymore? Seems like all they do anymore is make speeches, go after small fish private citizens, and dine out at the finest D.C. restaurants on the taxpayers' dime. On with the indictments, arrests, perp walks, handcuffs, hands covering faces, etc., etc.

That's ASSUMING that there's even something to defend.
You've made an awful lot of bad assumptins lately SECONDRATE. And yes, I'm going to keep shoving that in your face.
But you know what they say about assumptions: When you "assume" you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me".

What I find sad is the figure of $68 million dollars to go after those trafficking children.
No wonder why they're so bad at doing that job. The government spends $5 million dollars for a single cup of coffee.

This is not the first time Trump has indicated that he’s interested in staying in office for more than two terms. He’s said he does so to troll the media, but given his open admiration for dictators abroad and repeated efforts to undermine the rule of law at home, his jokes about becoming president for life really aren’t funny.

Yeah. It's hard for me to argue against that point.
Context is everything when it comes to humor, and I do enjoy the way that Trump continually trolls and owns the MSM on a daily basis.
But that's not a funny joke.
There are plenty of other ways to get Anderson Cooper's panties in a twist.

"Iran has long been secretly 'enriching,' in total violation of the terrible 150 Billion Dollar deal made by John Kerry and the Obama Administration. Remember, that deal was to expire in a short number of years."
Facts First: All three parts of this tweet are wrong.
1) International nuclear monitors and Trump's own intelligence officials say Iran complied with the agreement's limits on its enrichment activities.
2) Trump exaggerated the amount of money Iran gained access to because of the agreement.
3) And he mischaracterized the deal by saying the whole thing would soon "expire."
Let's go through Trump's fucked up claims one by one at
