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

Posted on 12/13/2018 4:50:56 PM 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.

The issue is how much LBGTXYZ stuff is pornographic and unacceptable for children but they consider morally necessary to expose to kids for their proper indoctrination.

LOL...”His links to the industry include...an alleged affair...an alleged tryst...and an accusation of assault.”

In other words, nothing but scurrilous attacks and innuendo. But never let that stop you from going with what you have.

Well they’ll be doing something with their loins. Girding them will probably be way down on the list.

Even worse is when you try to make government Fix It, it just leads to complacency in social fabric to fix it because everyone expects the government to fix it....

Trump didn’t do anything as bad as what BJ did in the people’s house on the Resolute Desk.

Porn is about 247th on the list of what we need to fix. And it’s international, not just a US phenomenon.

I predict that Barr’s appointment will bring about absolutely no change whatsoever to the porn industry.

I fail to see how that industry makes a profit with the proliferation of piracy and and cheap technology where anyone can produce.

The addiction became a epidemic thanks to broadband. All Trump has to do is force all pornographers to install programs with porn content that simulates downloads at 9600 baud. That will end the addiction. Can’t get off on half downloaded pics!
