Here's how Donald Trump did child predators a solid 16SEP25


Edvard Munch's 1893 painting The Scream is sometimes associated with nihilism due to its theme of existential terror. It can also be used to represent the terror of the victims of pedophiles like the children who were sexually abused by those in the epstein files and client list.....

NOT MY pres drumpf's /trump's decision to divert THOUSANDS of law enforcement agents from the FBI, US Marshals Service, ATF, DEA and HSI to join ice in their illegal and immoral round ups, detentions and deportations of immigrants in the U.S. For all his bullshit about addressing gang violence drumpf / trump has left the FBI Domestic Terrorism squad in Baltimore, MD severely depleted, making their monitoring and investigating of the 764 group, a nihilistic violent extremist group difficult. Keep in mind drumpf / trump has frequently declared Baltimore as one of those cities overcome by crime so he wants to send in Federalized National Guard. ( IT has been suggested charlie kirk's murderer is a nihilist, not of the political left or right but one who believes in Nihilism, a family of philosophical views arguing that life is meaningless, that moral values are baseless, or that knowledge is impossible. ) The article below, from Daily KOS, has more on nihilism. Bottom line is the more law enforcement agents are diverted to ice, the safer from arrest pedophiles and other sexual predators and deviants are...

Here's how Donald Trump did child predators a solid


President Donald Trump isn't concerned with stopping child predators when there are undocumented immigrants to round up.

Criminals who prey on children are receiving a boost from President Donald Trump who, as part of his drive to increase immigration busts and deportations, has diverted law enforcement agents once tasked with investigating vile online predator groups.

The right-leaning CATO Institute released a report based on leaked internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement records that shows thousands of agents have been directed to focus on the Trump administration’s cruel immigration agenda instead.

According to the data that CATO received, nearly 20% of agents from the U.S. Marshals Service and the FBI have been diverted, along with over 40% of agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and Homeland Security Investigations.

“Agents aren’t out there recruiting sources. They are not maintaining trip wires. They are not able to keep their ear to the ground about what’s happening among extremist movements,” former senior FBI executive Michael Feinberg told MSNBC.

For instance, members of the domestic terrorism squad based in Baltimore were involved in investigating the so-called 764 group, which the FBI previously described as a “nihilistic violent extremist group.” But according to law enforcement sources that spoke to MSNBC, members of the squad were deployed in March to round up undocumented immigrants and fewer agents are available to investigate 764  group cases.

The 764 group seeks out teenagers via social media and coerces them into committing depraved acts. These have included creating graphic pornography, harming family pets, making bomb threats, and others. The group extorts its victims and deepens their control of them by threatening to release recordings of these acts.

FBI Assistant Director David Scott told ABC News in a May report that one of the group’s goals is to “sow chaos” and “bring down society.”

But Trump has made it clear that immigration enforcement via spectacle is his preferred focus. The president and senior members of his administration like deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller have demanded raids and busts that make for good television and social media posts.

By diverting law enforcement resources in favor of creating a xenophobic show, Trump and company continue their work helping pedophiles and other criminal deviants who prey on children. Aided by congressional Republicans, the administration has refused to release the full details and files surrounding sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring.

Many of Epstein’s victims, who were preyed upon when they were underage, have slammed the lawmakers’ callous responses. But the administration wants to put on a show, and it’s clearly okay with children suffering as long as Trump can provide more material for the Republican Party’s racist base.

Ralph Shortey, Oklahoma state senator charged with child prostitution, plans to resign, lawyer says


SO TYPICAL of those so self-righteous, those who love to legislate how we should live our lives. I just wonder if he considered what his punishment would be if the "christian sharia" he and those like him want to impose on the nation was the law? Maybe he would be stoned to death? Maybe they would cut off his penis and shove it in his mouth while he bled to death? Maybe he would be burned alive? This from CBS....

Ralph Shortey, state senator charged with child prostitution, plans to resign, lawyer says

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A Republican state senator who was charged by state prosecutors with engaging in child prostitution -- and who faces felony child prostitution charges -- after police say he solicited sex from a 17-year-old boy plans to resign his seat by Wednesday evening, his attorney said. 
Attorney Ed Blau said Monday night he’d recently been retained by Sen. Ralph Shortey and that it was premature to comment on the charges until he had more time to discuss the case with his client. 
“Other than the probable cause affidavit that was released publicly, I haven’t seen a single police report or talked to a single witness,” Blau said.

Blau said he expects a not-guilty plea will be entered on Shortey’s behalf when he makes his initial appearance in court later this week. Meanwhile, the FBI and U.S. Secret Service in Oklahoma City both confirmed Monday they have joined the investigation into Shortey.

The FBI conducted a search on Friday of Shortey’s Oklahoma City home, FBI spokeswoman Jessica Rice confirmed. But he said he could not provide more details “as this is a sensitive ongoing investigation.”

The U.S. Secret Service is assisting in the probe at the request of the Moore Police Department, said Ken Valentine, special agent in charge of the agency’s Oklahoma City office.

“Where we have expertise, be it in cyber or electronics, that we can assist them with, then we do,” Valentine said. 
State prosecutors charged Shortey last week with engaging in child prostitution, transporting a minor for prostitution and engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church. 
Moore Police said they were called earlier this month to a Super 8 in Moore, to conduct a welfare check. Officers said they could smell marijuana coming from inside a room when they arrived at its door, CBS affiliate KWTV reported. They found Shortey and the teen alone inside.
A search of the teen’s tablet uncovered a series of sexually explicit exchanges in which Shortey referred to the teen as “baby boy” and offered him cash in exchange for “sexual stuff,” according to a police report. Police also found lotion and an open box of condoms inside backpacks in the room.

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16, but Oklahoma’s prostitution statute applies to any person under 18 years old.
Shortey turned himself in to the Cleveland County jail after he was found in the motel and charged, KWTV reported. He was released on a $100,000 bond.
No federal charges have been filed against Shortey, who is a conservative Republican from south Oklahoma City and is married with three young children.
The state Senate last week voted on a resolution to strip Shortey of most of his power, including his ability to serve on Senate committees and author bills. The Senate also took away his office, executive assistant and parking space. 
Several Republican leaders have called for his resignation, including Gov. Mary Fallin. But senators have not voted to expel Shortey, which would take a two-thirds vote, so he will continue to draw his $38,400 annual salary. 
Shortey also will likely be eligible to collect his state retirement, even if he is convicted of the charges. Joseph Fox, executive director of the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System, said Shortey became vested in the state’s retirement system last year after serving six years in the Oklahoma Senate. Oklahoma law allows for the forfeiture of retirement benefits only if the felony conviction is for bribery, corruption, forgery, perjury or a felony related to campaign finance or the duties of office. If Shortey contributed the maximum amount to his retirement, he would be eligible to collect $9,216 annually after he turns 60, according to state retirement calculations.
