Mediaite

Mike Banks, President Donald Trump’s top Border Patrol official, resigned from the position on Thursday, “effective immediately.”

Banks confirmed his departure in a text to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin.

“It’s just time,” Banks told him. “I feel like I got the ship back on course. From the least secure disastrous chaotic border to the most secure border this country has ever seen. Time to pass the [sic] reigns, 37 years its time to enjoy the family and life.”

...

So on top of the awful policies, total corruption.

1. "Sex tourism" in Thailand?

Were all these trafficked women fully consenting? Were they even adults?

3. That's the part they always leave out

People see too many movies and think the prostitutes they see in those movies that have some agency over their bodies are the norm. The vast majority of prostitutes in places like this are being trafficked, and the majority are underaged. This sick asshole was raping children overseas who were sold into sexual slavery. In other words, he's a normal Republican.

8. Surprising that they have an issue with child sex trafficking at this late date.

Possibly some of the victims were trans...

2. This country is totally screwed

None of the mainstream media articles about this mention why he's resigning. Not a one mentioned the sex scandal.

5. Freaks:

“I don’t know how he became the chief of the Border Patrol with his character,” one former agent told the Examiner, adding that Banks asked him to accompany the agency honcho on one such trip. “He’s going to third-world countries to take advantage of poor f*cking women, which disgusts the hell out of me.”

Trump is married to a Slovinian Sex Worker, rapped, sex trafficked girls, been convicted of sexual assault,
used drugs, and beat women.

Kristi Noem was flying around the world having an affair on a million plane and living with her married lover rent free on Military Base as her husband was crossing dressing and getting Dog only knows what from
a female dominatrix.

Pete Hegseth’s 2nd wife was so afraid of him and his abuse and drinking that her own sister had to
call her and have her say a “safe word” to make sure she was OK.

The President’s spokesperson married a grandfather for money.

Donny Jr’s former girlfriend is now our ambassador to Greece (?) in order to get her out of
the Country on America’s dime.

J.D. Vance loves furniture, liked to dress in drag in college and act really gay.

Trump is on tape watching a “water sports show” in Moscow 2013. Allegedly.

I have to stop.

Another agent told the outlet: “In our line of work, part of what we do is try to combat the trafficking of females, that is part of our job. It’s counter to what we do or what we should be standing for. If you’re partaking in those activities, you’re supporting the trafficking and exploitation of women” ...
