    He's paid $116,000+ for political favors, which is $116,000+ more than your average American has paid.

    The idea that any American should, could or would pay $ to influence the outcome of an election is obscene.

    It's why the swamp needs continual draining.

    It's why we have shadow government and graft in every corner of "public service".

    2nd death in Democratic megadonor Ed Buck's LA apartment ruled meth overdose, report says

    By Frank Miles | Fox News

    'If he is not stopped, there will be a third body,' warns the writer who has been investigating Ed Buck since 2017

    The second man who died in the span of 18 months at the West Hollywood apartment of Ed Buck, a 64-year-old who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic Party candidates and is well known in LGBTQ political circles, died from a methamphetamine overdose, according to a report.

    “Toxicology results are back and the cause of death is an overdose,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Investigator Quilmes Rodriguez told The Daily Beast on the death of 55-year-old Timothy Dean of West Hollywood, Calif. Rodriguez later said the drug was meth. Dean was pronounced dead at the apartment in January after police responded to a report of a person not breathing.

    Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, told Fox News on Monday night: “This is a tragedy. ... Mr. Buck had nothing to do with his death.”

    Amster said his client didn't know where Dean “got the meth, and he came over to the apartment intoxicated.”


    Amster blamed the L.A. drug problem on the West Hollywood City Council, which he said would rather focus on headlines than fix the issues of its community: “The meth problem is the issue in West Hollywood. … Drugs are out of control in West Hollywood.”

    However, close friends of Dean in January said they knew him as a sober, spiritual soul who didn’t abuse drugs and wanted to stay “as far away as possible” from the California political operative.

    Fox News reported last month that Dean had warned his friends to steer clear of the well-connected donor and referred to him as a “f---ing devil” and “a horrible, horrible man.”

    [​IMG]Video
    Activists and family members have been calling for Buck’s arrest, saying if Dean and the other man who died, 26-year-old Gemmel Moore, had been white there would be more attention on the case.

    Moore died of a methamphetamine overdose in July 2017. He was found naked on a mattress in Buck’s living room, which was littered with drug paraphernalia.

    Prosecutors didn’t file criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    What's up with gay men and meth? Is that a thing now?

    There was a pretty prominent local news anchor who died of a meth overdose here in LA.

    He was on the downlow, married guy, with a kid. He met some dude in a motel after he called in sick. Dude put some meth in his ass (WTF is that), did some poppers and then got fisted with a gimp mask on. The News guy also gave the other dude a syringe of GHB (date rape drug).

    He OD', the guy that was fisting him said he made strange noises and vomited with his gimp mask on so he called the paramedics.

    Democratic megadonor Ed Buck now facing allegations of human trafficking, revenge porn

    By Frank Miles | Fox News

    Ed Buck, the California Democratic megadonor suspected in the deaths of two black men who suffered fatal crystal methamphetamine overdoses in his home 18 months apart, is now facing allegations of human trafficking and revenge porn, according to a new report.

    The Daily Beast reported that the family of 26-year-old Gemmel Moore has made the new allegations as part of an ongoing civil case against Buck, who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic Party candidates in California and is well known in LGBTQ political circles. Moore died of a methamphetamine overdose in July 2017. He was found naked on a mattress in Buck’s living room, which was littered with drug paraphernalia.

    The complaint by Moore's family previously alleged that Buck injected Moore with crystal meth and required Moore to view “hardcore gay male pornography which played loudly on a large flatscreen television set,” while engaging in sex acts, according to the Beast.

    SECOND MAN FOUND DEAD OF OVERDOSE WITH DEMOCRATIC DONOR ED BUCK WAS NO DRUG ABUSER, FRIENDS SAY

    The latest allegation from Moore's family claims that Buck “knowingly utilized interstate commerce for the purpose of recruiting, enticing and transporting” Moore from Texas to Los Angeles, for “commercial sex acts.”

    The complaint claims that Buck paid for Moore’s transportation and promised to pay Moore for the rendezvous. It also said Buck distributed a sexually explicit video recording of Moore to "one of several unnamed defendants" in April of this year.

    The case was originally filed in Los Angeles Superior Court but moved to federal court in May.

    Buck’s attorney, Seymour Amster, didn’t return Fox News’ calls or emails, but told the Daily Beast that he would "reserve our comment to our court filings and we will be aggressively litigating this."

    The second man who died at Buck's West Hollywood apartment, 55-year-old Timothy Dean, also suffered a methamphetamine overdose, according to a report.

    Prosecutors didn’t file criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence.

    Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Investigator Quilmes Rodriguez didn’t return Fox News’ email about the current status of the investigation.

    Okay, are you trying to deflect against the Trump-Epstein connection such as the part where Epstein says his modeling agency that he used to exploit young girls was modeled after Trump's modeling agency?

    There is a lively thread for that topic. Not every thread has to be twisted into a Trump thread. Take your Donnie goggles off once in awhile, for the sake of your mental health.

    Wrong, Jonny. I was asking if he was deflecting. Perhaps you would have noticed that if you had read my post. Everyone knows how much he worships Trump and would rather talk about anything that would point to Trump's problems projected onto someone else.
    In addition, I'd like to point out that Trump is the President and as such deserves some real attention.
    Could it be that you are also enthralled with the Trump cult?

    Edit:
    This may not mean much to you but I feel like I paid my dues when I got shot at nearly daily in combat. I think I've earned the right to talk about whatever the hell I want. Let me know when you come back lucky to be alive.

    Anyone can say whatever they want, I never said otherwise. I just find it interesting you deflect a random thread topic to Trump while simultaneously accusing someone else of deflecting.

    And again...

    Major Democratic donor Ed Buck arrested, charged with running drug den

    By Edmund DeMarche | Fox News

    LOS ANGELES-- Ed Buck, the California Democratic megadonor, was arrested Tuesday and charged with operating a drug house after a third man reportedly suffered an overdose inside his West Hollywood home last week and survived.

    Buck has faced public scrutiny after two black men died from overdoses 18 months apart inside his home. He was not charged in those cases.

    Buck was charged with three counts of battery and is accused of injecting the alleged third victim with methamphetamine on Sept. 11, The Los Angeles Times reported.

    Prosecutors wrote in court papers obtained by the Times that Buck used his position of power to manipulate his victims into participating in his sexual fetishes.

    “These fetishes include supplying and personally administering dangerously large doses of narcotics to his victims,” the prosecutors wrote, according to the Times.

    Seymour Amster, Buck’s attorney, told Fox News that he would not comment on the arrest and said he is dealing with the issue. Amster has in the past defended his client and insisted that he did nothing wrong.

    In July 2017, a young black man, Gemmel Moore, was found dead of a drug overdose in Buck’s apartment. Buck, who is white, was not charged.

    An autopsy report said Moore, 26, died of a methamphetamine overdose. He was found naked on a mattress in the living room, which was littered with drug paraphernalia.

    Eighteen months later, 55-year-old Timothy Dean also suffered a methamphetamine overdose. Prosecutors didn’t file criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence. Activists, however, have called for his arrest.

    In the most recent incident, Buck allegedly brought the man to his home earlier this month and injected him with methamphetamine. About a week later, the man returned to Buck's home and was injected again and suffered an overdose, according to court documents obtained by KTLA.

    Buck is accused of thwarting the man's attempt to get help. The man fled the apartment and reportedly called for help from a nearby gas station. He survived but was treated at a hospital.

    Prosecutors are reportedly seeking bail of $4 million. KABC-TV of Los Angeles reported that he faces up to five years and eight months in state prison if convicted. He is due in court Wednesday.

    He had to search past the leftist "mainstream news" that ignored this very important story.
