Porn industry girds for Trump crackdown on filth
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec. 13, 2018

Posted on 01/15/2019 7:52:26 AM PST by deplorableindc

Pornographers are bracing for the first major obscenity clampdown in three decades under President Trump’s new pick for attorney general, William Barr, a strident social conservative whose views threaten the lucrative industry.

Anti-porn campaigners were thrilled with Trump's selection of Barr, previously attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, noting his enthusiastic obscenity prosecutions in the early ‘90s.

Pornographers are taking the threat seriously, but argue a crackdown would be hypocritical under the thrice-married Trump. His links to the industry include softcore Playboy cameos, an alleged affair with Playmate of the Year Karen McDougal, an alleged tryst with hardcore star Stormy Daniels and an accusation of assault by adult actress Jessica Drake.

“....but argue a crackdown would be hypocritical under the thrice-married Trump.”

Yeah, no doubt, this reporter interviewed a bunch of these sleaze bags, and they responded with the above quote...

I say BS. Once again, a reporter with his or her mental masturbation regarding Trump.

The liberal MSM just can’t help themselves but to throw that in there.

Just because someone’s position is hypocritical doesn’t invalidate it.

Rings hollow if there’s no crackdown on the filth still lingering from the Clinton/Obama DOJ, DOS, FBI, CIA, etc.

I think the crackdown is going to focus on kiddie porn and dangerous global human traffickers. Not some dumb aspiring actress from Davenport, Iowa who chooses to flash her boobies in a centerfold.

One of these things is nothing like the other.

Nice try, though.

Who would buy pornography anymore?? It’s all over the Internet and it’s basically free.

Oh Jeeez, does that mean the return of the black mask and black socks? I always said America died and lost it’s soul in 1972 with Deep Throat on the theater screens. Stopping porn will be like stopping drugs and guns. It won’t go away, and the handy dandy 1st Amendment will be used as a defense. Besides,look at all those “entertainers” in the industry who will be out of work. I bet there are Unions involved. They are going to tell us that it supports our economy. Want to abolish porn, develop that orgasm ball from the old Woody Allen movie,. that would end it. It would also reduce the worlds population.

Screw this. Indict Hillary and the dozens of other Democrat criminals formerly and currently in government.

Jeff Sessions promised to crack down on marijuana. Another stupid waste of time.

Dammit. We need an attorney general that prosecutes criminals not social policies from the 1970s.

A proper attorney general should immediately convene dozens of grand juries around the United States solely to clean up our filthy, leech filled swamp of a government, *and* the damned Democrat party.

DO YOUR JOB. DO NOT WASTE OUR TIME AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN.

Multitasking.

Learn the word, then learn to comprehend what it means.

“”This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.””

JOHN 3:19

Porn IS DEATH.....and men (so many here on FR) LOVE it....they love the darkness ....the slavery of it....

They love darkness...more than light.

In bondage....most forever.

Jesus, Calvary....Grace for your sin....freedom.

Grab hold of HIM....run from the darkness of lust.
