    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.

    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.

      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…

    For a second I misread the punctuation, IE I thought it meant “to combat human trafficking, the state department guts it’s office”.
