After the jokes, Robert Kraft needs to go high

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

News Friday of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s imminent arrest for misdeeds in a sleazy Florida strip mall massage parlor inspired a predictable social media firestorm of mockery. For those who have yet to recover from the Pats’ sixth Super Bowl triumph three weeks ago, the episode was a delicious continuation of the tawdriness that is stuck in the franchise’s flesh like a porcupine quill.

West Palm Beach police say Kraft was videotaped in the parlor having sex on two occasions. He was charged with solicitation of prostitution in connection with an investigation of a large international human trafficking ring.

The fact that Kraft, a billionaire who could afford all kinds of higher-priced company in seclusion, was allegedly caught by a police camera in a sting where the going rate was $59 for half an hour, is just one of the episode’s several screaming absurdities.
But the same national bewilderment attended similar misdeeds by Bill Clinton, Hugh Grant and former Seahawks star Eugene Robinson, to name a few among many.

Amusing at it is, the desire of well-off men to risk so much for so little is a secondary palm-to-forehead moment. The bigger, unfunny deal is the victimization of the women forced into the sordid business of sex slavery.

“The story is not Bob Kraft,” William Snyder, sheriff of Martin County, said in a phone interview with the Boston Globe. “The story is that dozens of women in Southeast Florida along the Treasure Coast are living in rudimentary living conditions and being coerced into acts of sexual conduct.”

That’s why after the sports-world snickering fades, the soaring problem of human trafficking remains. The women, mostly from China, South Korea and Thailand who speak little English, are lured by the promises of real jobs, then sequestered in the small spas. They see from seven to 15 men a day, in many cases leaving one establishment only to be shuttled to another.

1. First, I am not aware that Bill Clinton was ever caught raping a trafficked woman. Did I

miss something?

Second, raping a trafficked woman is not a misdeed.

2. I didn't quite get the comparison either

3. You see this kind of stuff said in the press so often. People just don't get what is going on.

5. juanita Broderick claimed Clinton raped her. He denied it.

It was probably consensual but I can't remember the details...anybody who knows this better than I can probably explain the whole thing. But that is where Trump got this...

4. How will tRump's wall

affect this human trafficking? Will it stop the Russians and Chinese coming here to give birth to American citizens? If the Latinos trying to enter through the southern border were involved in prostitution, would that be alright with tRump? Kraft should have called his good buddy tRump and asked if Maleria could recommend a good agency.
