There is something funny about a 77 year old billionaire being arrested at a strip mall rub and tug in Jupiter, Florida. To add to the comedy of the situation he was dropped off by his chauffeur and the cost was $80/hour. Curious to hear some Friday thoughts.

The only thing that caught me by surprise is that some lady on the great Twitter, says something like, "Donald Trump's friend Kraft is caught paying for sexual acts from trafficked sex workers, wonder if he Tweets back".
In other words, she wants to mock Kraft and the whole prostitution scandal, but is scared of offending her respectable "sex worker" friends. Cringed a lot when I saw that. SJWs are in a crisis.
I hate obnoxious headlines as much as the next guy, but this wasn't just prostitution, it was an investigation into sex trafficking. So the "SJW" may be right in that they weren't sex workers, they were trafficked sex workers, which makes this situation a whole lot worse. Also 80/hr is super cheap what is this place.
But that’s not what they found. Least I didn’t see that type of report. I’ve just saw they busted him after monitoring the place
Ha! Love it.. How will they find a way to condemn Kraft and entangle Trump without saying that sex work isn't work and isn't immoral.
In almost every well-documented case of prostitution legalization, the instances of sex trafficking are markedly increased as a result. It's really hard to support a policy of legalization while also opposing sex trafficking.

I saw a s3x worker protest not too long ago in my city, around the time backpage was shut down. Not against it, but for it! A bunch of scantily clad females were holding signs that said s3x work is real work. Unsure who they were trying to appeal to, but I was blown away.
phrasing
he likes his Kraft Dinner over Michelin stars - truly a man of the people
What's crazy is that apparently, he's not even the biggest name that's been caught..
Indeed
A man of the common people!
I get this is news, and draws more eyeballs than anything else. But I don't get how people are shocked about news like this? Dude is a billionaire, his wife passed away, what do you expect?
I have friends doing this shit all the time whose net worth is like $15 and change.
No one is surprised that some old billionaire is seeking a prostitute.
These are the surprises:
1.) He got caught at some cheap hole in the wall place meant for the toothless when he can more than afford "higher-end". $89? Dude is a billionaire why would he even go to a place that cheap for his sexual needs. 2.) He got caught as a billionaire when he could easily hire someone whose one and only job is discretely setting him up with the best prostitutes money can buy.
I honestly never thouht to weigh the merit or lack of merit in his decision. But you make excellent points in that regard.
You're forgetting point #3; Robert Kraft has a lot of money so it's surprising that he went somewhere so cheap.
Too bad that strategy didn't work for Trump.
Glad they finally nailed this bastard on something, really comes in handy for every other NFL team
Which is HILARIOUS
Yikes. This can't have a happy ending...
Rough week for all things Kraft
Best comment I've seen all day +1
Adam Schefter is now reporting that Kraft is "not the biggest name" in the sex trafficking investigation. Given the amount of wealth in the Jupiter area it will be interesting to see who could be a bigger name than a billionaire NFL owner. Very interested to see what other names come out. (Tiger)
Odds on the 'more prominent people'?
I'm guessing either: wall street guys bob barker michael jordan howard stern tiger woods
1/5 so far...
Wall St guys: John Havens, John Childs
Def not Jordan or Woods.
What do you think the odds are its Brady, and Kraft was the fall guy?
Brady going international is kinda his thing. But I doubt he spent valentines getting an 80$ happy ending. That seems more like a cheap old dude thing.
I don't get it. If I was a billionaire, I would pay top dollars for the best out there, but this dude went to a discount shop and paid only $89? I mean doesn't he care about a quality experience???
I feel everyone is getting a little crossed here.
Discount rub and tug and high class prostitutes are mutually exclusive. I'm sure Kraft is ether into that sort of grimey thing, or has had so many top ones he wanted to mix it up.
It's like if you grew up on McDonalds, and now can afford to never eat there again. Sometimes you just enjoy the taste. Or if a PGA tour pro enjoys playing a shitty muni once in a while bc they grew up on it.
Lol. What a millenial quote. The emphasis is always on a “quality experience”. Bring me top shelf sex slaves please.

Here's Robert Kraft, 77, with his 39-year old girlfriend of 6 years, at the Super Bowl together three weeks ago. He's worth $6 billion. Did he really allow himself to be videotaped at the $59 per session Orchids of Asia Day Spa in a strip mall in Jupiter, Florida - twice? He categorically denies the charges.
PS: Could everyone please NOT automatically believe the media until we see the evidence? We've been conned 500 times in the past two years. Time to start questioning everything.
If a man denies charges of this type of behavior, it must be fake news... Perhaps, they had him mixed up with some other old billionaire. It must be a slow news day when the media has to report that a old billionaire solicited a prostitute.
If it's on the internet it must be true. Silly me for conducting minimal due diligence.
Agreed, I'm all for innocent until proven guilty.
However, you lost me with sharing the photo. Since when does having a younger/good-looking spouse/S.O. preclude someone from cheating on them, and in this case, with someone they paid for sex?
Might be before your time, but actor Hugh Grant, who'd been dating actress Elizabeth Hurley long-term... got busted on Sunset Blvd for getting a bj from a hooker.
for sureeeee, the list goes on for bros who cheated on absolute smokeshows
jay z cheating on bey tiger woods cheating on elin tony parker cheating on eva longoria jesse james on sandra bullock brad for cheating on aniston ben for chearing on garner whoever halle berry married a-rod on j-lo
now, that doesn't account for all of the actual good husbands out there (sure there are a few), but I'm trying to make the point that if you're the type to cheat, it doesn't matter what your wife/girlfriend looks like, you'll cheat regardless.
The fucking police said they have him on tape, take the "liberal media conspiracy" elsewhere
Yea, but I think she is the definition of arm candy. Didn't she get pregnant by some dude who was not Kraft when she was apparently dating him?
Also, people have to remember, dating occurs in different class levels right. Kraft might like a certain type of woman, but he also needs a certain, possibly different type, when he goes to events or mingles. It's all about the image.
I realize I'm in the minority, I will never understand why my fellow men pay for strippers and hookers
"Parking at a garage is like going to a prostitute. Why pay for it when you can apply yourself, and then may be you can get it for free." - the great philosopher George Costanza
Probably a breath of fresh air, prostitutes are some of the few to admit to trading sex for money.
This leads to the great argument though of whether to lead with the front or back when sliding in
Classic Kraft, very interested to see how this shakes out in the league and who else enters the fray.
Anyone else repulsed by how blase the reaction from the general public is that sex slave rings are operating on such a large scale with the patronage of such high profile figures? Open market slavery, in the land of the free. And there's no massive reaction. Kind of makes you wonder about this country.
If you're an idealist, you want better enforcement of the laws so the world is a better place.
If you're a realist, you realize the law is a joke, and you just have to not cross certain lines in order to get away with stuff.
I think everyone knows that the wall is the only solution to stopping sex trafficking and all other crime, so people are mostly focused on that. No need for outrage when we're so close to eliminating crime altogether.
