How is the Cindy Yang story not blowing up? Human trafficker donates GOP and parties with Trump.

[sarcasmo]

Snip< The businesswoman-turned-political activist founded and operated the chain of Tokyo Day Spas in 2007 — including one in Jupiter that was later renamed Orchids of Asia, and sold by Yang to Hua Zhang around 2013.

1. You answered your own question:

"Human trafficker donates GOP and parties with Trump."

[spanone]

2. K&R...

[tammywammy]

3. She sold it back in 2013.

Is there any indication that the business was using prostitutes or sex trafficking victims back before she sold it?

[RockaFowler]

4. Yes - Per the Miami Herald story

Online reviews from prior to 2013 suggest sex was for sale at the Tokyo Day Spa Jupiter location even before it became Orchids of Asia. Although the name and ownership of the location have changed, the decor has not. A photo from a Tokyo Day Spa Yelp review shows the same couch, the same wall hanging and the same faux plant as now.

“Used to be known as Tokyo Day Spa and Massage — most of the same girls still work there,” a Yelp reviewer wrote of Orchids of Asia in 2013.

5. Human trafficking.

[spanone]

6. 'the same couch'? ewwwwwwwww

[tammywammy]

7. thanks for the link.

None is the snippets I've seen so far make that clear.

[getagrip_already]

8. and she still owns spa's in FL to this day...

While she also transferred ownership of others to her mother. Like that means anything.. lol

She is a PIMP. She ran and likely runs whorehouses. She donates to the GOP and has close ties to Trump.

But you won't hear about it because across the board, media outlets are owned by rich white men who have been to those establishments. The story may get mentions, but will die.

Look, if they can overlook Putin pulling trumps strings, and open, rampat racism, the mbs murders, trying to break every relationship with have with allies and tanking the economy, why would they care about a few whore houses?

[IluvPitties]

9. Ronan Farrow should investigate this.

Dude's solid.

[littlemissmartypants]

13. He really is. nt

[Blue_true]

27. My guess is Trump didn't just recently get to know her.

In both the biblical and modern sense.

[workinclasszero]

10. Republican family values

Whoring through the week, act holy on Sundays and condemn gay families and their kids to hell.

Then right back to the "massage parlors" on Monday.

Don't forget to pass the plate y'all.

[Leghorn21]

11. Yeah, this is a firebomb of a story, sarcasmo!! It's slowly emanating outwards...

DUer George II has a thread on it:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11900528

I had hoped for at least one indictment this morning, but this powderkeg will do just FINE

[TNNurse]

12. A woman of Asian descent

involved with a business that "employs" women of Asian decent who are victims of human trafficking. Hell probably will not let her in.

18. "Something tells me this isn't only about sex but corrupt $" - have fun while doing your laundry

I sorta doubt that great bookkeeping is a hallmark of sex emporiums. Reporting payrolls, tips, witholdings, FICA, etc. is not what their back office spends a lot of time on.

So if Senator Bill comes in and blows $10,000, who reports what? And does $3,000 make its way to the RNC/trumpO?

So now we have some of the repuglicons' favorite ways to hide transfers: exorbitant purchases of worthless real-estate tied to trump, golf-course memberships that are really dumps, physical-therapy sessions in houses of ill-repute. Why can't these people just get a real job (not a blow one)?

[certainot]

15. simple answer: because they're not screaming about it on 1500 radio stations

that's the difference

[Pepsidog]

16. Exactly and that is the problem starting with Fox.

[certainot]

21. i disagree. fox is the cartoon cliff notes for talk radio.

something might start on fox but it can't sell the lies like talk radio can.

when trump got nunez to release the nunes memo they did it just before the limbaugh show so he could spin it first, not hannity later on.

fox can't do the repetition, hate, lies to the extent talk radio does.

talk radio is invisible to liberals - it's the only major medium with NO challenge or correction from the other side of the political spectrum. one click away from fox is msnbc or cnn

fox can't be locally coordinated like talk radio

most people can't watch fox while driving or working

and it just can't trhreaten or spew hate like talk radio - for eg limbaugh can make up a silly pretext to repeat "take her out" in reference to AOC, and on fox how many can call her a commie, marxist etc like limbaugh does

that gets noticed and responded to on fox

here's limbaugh recently, on omar

So Ilhan Omar, she's from Minnesota, and she won fame for demanding to be able to wear the headpiece, the hijab on the floor of the House of Representatives. And everybody, "Oh, sure, whatever you want! Just don't blow us up. Whatever you want. Just don't do any terrorism. If you want to wear it, wear it."

So she got the idea that nobody was gonna oppose her. She hates Jews. She's more than an anti-Semite. She's from Somalia. She is an Islamist. And she hates Jews. Jews are the problem in the world to her and many other people like her. And so when the Democrats have these ceremonies where they have to pledge solidarity with Israel, well, Omar doesn't participate. Screw you! The Jews are the problem! I'm not gonna swear allegiance to Israel!

and then the local blowhards repeat it and callers, maybe paid and maybe from russian think tanks, get even more shitty

[SleeplessinSoCal]

19. Rick Wilson knows how to drive this thing...

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/fox-news-analyst-freaks-hell-rick-wilson-post-pic-florida-massage-madam/

He knows how to get a story to gain traction. Maybe others will join in to propel it to more Fox News addicts.

[malaise]

20. Have no fear - the shit will soon hit the fan

This is huge!!!

[Blue_true]

28. I agree. This is how enterprising reporters make their bones.

The past will be dug up and Trump's ugly sex life will again be front and center. If rightwing evangelicals and their ministers blow it off, the center, which slipped away in 2018, is going to flee from Trump in droves. How can a mom or dad who call themselves respectable defend him before their kids and then lecture the kids on "values"?

[procon]

22. When will Trump start calling for a new border

security wall to be built along the entire eastern seaboard to stop these sex traffickers who lure unsuspecting, blameless Republicans into a massage parlor for a little rub-run and a then a tug, tug, tug.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Evangelicals love their fetuses and conservajudges. . . . nt

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. Time once again for

[dlk]

25. The Conservative Mainstream Media is Biased

[Chin music]

26. Right wing media. We need to say it out loud to everybody ten times a day.

Same way they made it the Left Wing Media. Not only do we need to learn the lessons, we need to ACT.

[DonaldsRump]

29. Because the Rethugs are far more vicious in spinning stories than the Dems

Our folks miss opportunity after opportunity to villain-ize these fools. If this had happened to BHO, they would have commenced impeachment proceedings within the hour, and the "MSM" would be having non-stop 24/7 coverage.

I have to hand it to the Repubs: they excel at smearing and are much better than we are. It's the only thing they do well, though.

[neohippie]

30. from her deactivated Facebook page

Oh man... the motherload dropped. I don't think any of these have been posted yet

She deactivated her facebook page but somebody had the sense to archive it: http://archive.is/https://www.facebo....yang.35325074

31. All of these people are such trash!

[Pachamama]

32. Vile people

[sarcasmo]

33. Thanks for this, bookmarked.

[DangerousRhythm]

34. Is that the fucking MY PILLOW GUY next to the Pirro pic?

Maybe it's someone else? This is ridiculous. Any one of these things that's happened in the past two years would have sunk any other President. This will likely continue to fly under the radar. Dammit, I'll be surprised if it gets attention.

[fescuerescue]

35. I'm guessing because she hasn't owned it for 6 years

I dunno but I think it's stretch to blame her for something that happened 6 years after she sold it.

There plenty of other things to be outraged about. This one I have hard time fitting into my outrage calendar.

[neohippie]

36. maybe there is still something to be concerned about

The latest twist in the story of the massage parlor owner/Trump donor who sold access to Trump: Cindy Yang has ties to groups directly connected to the Chinese government and the Communist Party.

Fla Massage parlor exec selling Chinese execs access to Trump at Mar A Lago


https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/03/a-florida-massage-parlor-owner-has-been-selling-chinese-execs-access-to-trump-at-mar-a-lago/

Yang, who goes by Cindy, and her husband, Zubin Gong, started GY US Investments LLC in 2017. The company describes itself on its website, which is mostly in Chinese, as an “international business consulting firm that provides public relations services to assist businesses in America to establish and expand their brand image in the modern Chinese marketplace.” But the firm notes that its services also address clients looking to make high-level connections in the United States. On a page displaying a photo of Mar-a-Lago, Yang’s company says its “activities for clients” have included providing them “the opportunity to interact with the president, the [American] Minister of Commerce and other political figures.” The company boasts it has “arranged taking photos with the President” and suggests it can set up a “White House and Capitol Hill Dinner.” (The same day the Herald story about Yang broke, the website stopped functioning.)
