What tipped things over then and threatens to tip it over again, just like what happened with abortion rights, is the far right bible thumpers like Sessions, Judd and Desantis. Plain, simple and undeniable. The Heritage Foundation doesn't even try to conceal that it wants to redefine (and in my opinion destroy) the constitution under Christian principles with Project 2025. So stock up and save your condoms. It might be illegal to buy them before too long. Hopefully we won't get arrested for possession. I will DIE for my second amendment rights to protect my condoms lol.

It's worse than that. Much worse. Because now it's a kind of strange coalition between certain elements of the far left and the Bible thumpers. Many radical feminists are anti-sex-work and anti-porn. (Remember Andrea Dworkin?) Quite a few organizations that purport to be against human trafficking are run by left-wing feminists such as Derek Ellerman and are really just thin veneers over anti-prostitution.

Uncle LEO was looking at Backpage every day. A few vice officers were officially looking for criminal exploitation, but most were looking because men got to look. All of those Cops looking at BP and Craigs List would see anything that looked like underage girls and take action. They would investigate when necessary and they would also set up stings, especially on BP. The stings were always with young bait and never with MILF type bait. The shop girls all have lots of Cop friends and not a lot of Cops want to put them out of business, but just about all of LE people want to rescue a girl from being exploited by a creep. Good relations between patrol officers and hookers is beneficial to everybody. These politicians don't care enough to even think about what they are doing, beyond their own campaigns.

They HAD to vote for it since it BORE the human trafficking moniker. But which AG actually vigorously PROSECUTED Backpage? Oh and I'm a second amendment kind of guy Reap and I've got the hardware to prove it but I'd rather have pussy than guns (a decision I likely won't have to make) LOL. And I'll take a Tampa Chad Chronister (D) to a Lakeland Grady Judd (R) any day of the week.

Project 2025 gets implemented as planned with it's American version of Sharia law, forget it. You can argue it up to Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito. The hobby will be toast.

Regardless the communist who despise the 2nd Amendment want gun registration which is a far bigger issue than pussy parlors.

The actualaw that hit the websites "On February 27,2018, the FOSTA-SESTA package was passed in the House of Representatives with a vote of 388-25. On March 21,2018, the FOSTA-SESTA package bill passed the Senate with a vote of 97-2, with only senators Ron Wyden and Rand Paul voting against it. "

In addition the "Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, passed in a 401-20 vote, with all opposition coming from Republicans. "

Both bills had significant bi-partison support. People need to educate themselves on the facts.

Sex work should be legal w severe consequences for real human trafficking and underage prostitutiion.

I never post anything of a political nature and don't know if it's allowed, but this impacts all of us including the owners of this site.

If and when you're filling out your ballots this year remember under whose admin Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions shut down Backpage and nearly TER and this site. Remember how cool things were before that?.. See how shitty it is now? Also look what's happening in Florida which I'm sure other states will be modeling legislation after:

https://floridapolitics.com/archives...rs-therapists/

According to MongerMax in the massage parlor reports section:

"The Gov is hoping many places will just close up and leave the state. The new law will require take in forms whereby we have to give our name, address, phone number, and the type of massage we opted for and the shop has to record the therapist name, license number, phone number and address, for every massage, and every client and these records have to be kept for 1 year. And, a take in form is required for every massage. If the shops decide to not do it, when the get caught, they will get shut down.".

So when you hear the screed "They're coming for you" look who has ACTUALLY come for you in the past and has plans to do so in the future.

Hey at least we can all wave at each other and maybe get coffee together when our only option is cruising Nebraska lol.
