Robert Kraft is MAGA.
Right, that is the reason Kraft donated more money to Democrat PACs.
He supports trmp. He's a sex criminal. And he's the owner of the Patriots.
I think I just hit the happiness trifecta
ALL of his information is prior to Trump running for president.
Kraft is a Trumper.

Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Charged in Florida Prostitution Sting
Robert K. Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots ... Mr. Kraft is also a vocal supporter and friend of President Trump. Earlier this month, Mr. Kraft said on …
Kraft or Trump?
You're just becoming aware of how rich assholes spread their money (read: influence) around? Yeah, and as others have pointed out he's a scumbagger now however he spread his money around in the past.
You will never expect your heroes to adhere to any sense of morality and ethics, while continually slamming the left.
I call that hypocrisy.
Whomever Kraft supported in the past is now irrelevant. He's a Trumphumper now:
Kraft Gives $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Committee
That would be the inaugural committee that's one of Scumbag's big criminal operations.
I appreciate it when you lot make such absurdly false claims like that so we don't even have bother showing what a lie it is.
Now I'm sure what he's done is ok with republicans.
Bullshit
Kraft is a Patriot. That's the problem.
That pretty much sums it up for me. I don't hate the Patriots quite as much as the Cowboys, but it's close.
I doubt he knew for sure that those girls were trafficked .. but this is the problem with the illegal sex trade. Anyone who goes for a prostitute should realize there's a decent probability she's forced against her will, especially if she's young. Anyone his age who goes after someone who he pretends to think is of legal age ... knowing damn well she probably isn't .. is a creep and is supporting trafficking.
Because we have a huge effort to fight trafficking in my area, so many of us have educated ourselves on the issue.
Many airports even have posted information to help people identify girls who may be being trafficked. There's a section on the State Department website about it, as well.
It's sad that you have no interest in educating yourself and doing anything to help, but not surprising.
Trump's BS claims about the women and duct tape are just that - bullshit. Most of these victims are transported by air; hence the posters and such at airports.
No personal offense intended with my removed comment.
Appreciate that.
I saw it earlier on Deadspin and was waiting for a more moderate source before seeding.
and after reading the comments here,
boy am I glad I didn't seed it............
NPR was running it on the radio at lunch.
I know, right?
Turning a hand job into a political discussion for Christ sakes. I'll pass.
That suggests you have first-hand knowledge of this event. And this is really both hilariously and disgustingly hypocritical coming from the side who made a blow-job an impeachable offense.
Talk about fairy tales.....that one's a beaut.
Unconfirmed reports say he asked the hooker to wear a Tom Brady jersey and cut her hair the way the QB does.
Kraft also asked her to deflate his balls the way Brady deflated balls prior to the AFC championship game a few years ago.
Kraft asked the hooker to deflate his balls to imitate the way Brady deflated balls before the AFC Championship game a few years ago.
It's not like he was cheating on his wife !
Why was "Kraft" Singled out on this ? I'm hearing there were "OTHER" big names in this too !
Why weren't those names put out FIRST ?
Could it be, his "Patriots team" is waaaaaay too successful, and he needs to be cut down to size ?
I didn't say anything about "Arrests". I specifically noted that they were saying there were other BIG Names "Involved" in this mess, which means the authorities already know "NAMES" !
Oh FFS, you aren't new to this rodeo,
Where did you hear it? Do you have links? Please be specific. and all of that rot...
Where are you "hearing these 'names'" and if people are not being indicted why would you expect them to be named? In fact, the investigators should make it a point not to reveal names of people who aren't implicated in any unlawful activity.
Reading is fundamental !
Apparently, the entire "Parlor" was under investigation for 8 months, INCLUDING everyone going there to "Get a...…?"
Oh FFS.....……… .
"Robert Kraft Isn't 'Biggest Name Involved' in Human Trafficking Scandal: Reports"
"Is there an even bigger name than Robert Kraft in the Florida sex sting? Billionaire Patriots owner may NOT be the only famous face to be charged with soliciting prostitutes at a massage parlor, reports suggest"
"Patriots owner Robert Kraft not even 'the biggest name’ involved in Florida prostitution sting: Report"
Get the Jist yet ?
And................? Are you now suggesting you know the details of that investigation?
You're really risking a hernia trying to make a case that the treatment of Kraft is "soooooo, wahhhhhhhh.......UNFAYYYYERRRRR!!!! " He's only been charged with misdemeanors which means all he's going to get is a fine and you're having a hissy-fit over it. It might be that Kraft is the only one named so far because the other bigger fish might have more serious charges coming up. MAGAs really have bigger worries as yet another racist, Jew-hating domestic terrorist MAGAscum faces multiple charges for plotting mass political assassinations. They need to conserve their strength to complain about how UNFAYYYYER his treatment is.
If they can name "One" name, they can name them all at the same time !
I guess I did the wrong thing again.
I love the trump meme "I'm hearing".
Just another thought....going through the "Liberal" playbook:
Isn't Kraft an Adult making Adult Decisions, that shouldn't be questioned because he is an Adult making a Decision ?
Yep, but it is illegal, as stupid as that it.
That depends on what the definition of “is” is .....
Sex between consenting adults does have it's limits in some things though. Buying a hooker on your own time and on your own dime, shouldn't be one of them me thinks.
Are you now going into "making up shit that Dems or liberals never said" mode, right? Specifically, cite when any Dem or liberal said sex trafficking and forced prostitution shouldn't be questioned. You people seem to have a real problem understanding the word "consent."
Dems and Liberals don't think adults should be able to be adults and do adult things ?
He broke the law. Maybe it's a bad law but be sure and let us know when you're going to cut liberals any slack when that happens to them.
Are you speaking of Liberal Politicians,,,,,,,,,,, or just everyday folks.
I think that prostitution should be legalized and a lot of this type of shit would not be an issue.
Especially when one is "Single" !
It should be. It would be far safer for everyone, too.
He could vacation in Nevada.
I never understood the big deal. As long as no one is forced into anything they don't want to do.
Except and apparently this 'case' involves involuntary servitude and underage employees.
It did. I think that legalization would reduce things like that.
I believe it would also. Inspections, W2's, everything.
Legalized and unionized
as long as they are here legally, not smuggled in from China under false pretenses to be sex slaves...
I volunteer to be the BA of the T&A
I've been saying that for awhile. Legalize it, slap it with a sales tax and regulate it.
If pot is teaching us anything in California, you'd still have a black market. People don't want to be regulated and pay taxes. Legalizing prostitution unfortunately doesn't relieve cops from having to chase hookers.
Marijuana black market thrives despite first year of legal sales
Back Story: Legalization's effect on the marijuana black market
I would agree with the first part but I don't think the second half of that sentence true. There will always be scum who will find a way to trap vulnerable and powerless women (and men) into a non-consensual arrangement.
Having lived in Vegas for quite a while this is how it works in Nevada....Prostitution is not legal in Vegas (Clark County) nor is it legal in the Reno area....There is a law that states specific rules for a county or city to have legal prostitution. Population is one of them.
There are probably more prostitutes working in Vegas where it's not legal then most of the rest of Nevada combined. It's big business there and a truly sordid situation.
There was a very good article the other day about the seedy underbelly of the Super Bowl...A lot of prostitution during that time period.
The second thing is that how frickin' stupid is he. He goes to a massage parlor for sex with a prostitute...Why didn't he just hang a huge neon sign around his neck saying...I'm going to a prostitute, catch me if you can.
For someone that runs a really successful business that is really a stupid move.
I wonder if he pulls up in a limo, with driver and private security. But just one bodyguard cuz he's keepin' it on the DL.
No cheer leading squad while all of this is taking place?
"Every time America spells cheese it's K R A F T"
How interesting how the right leaning people love to excuse the misbehavior of their demigods.
What's really interesting is how much left leaning people can hate everyone they perceive as being with Trump.
Go Pats!
I think God got tired of bailing out Tebow & the Broncos. You guys are gonna have to work for it!
For real? For whom is the owner of the Patriots a demigod?
And this from the guy with the Broncos avatar. I mean if anybody here is worshipping someone in professional football . . .
Do not understand why Mr. Kraft, considering his wealth, profile and notoriety would place himself in such a position. After all, money can bring the best discretion of indiscretion to your door.
Something is not right here. Or, there is a bit more to Mr. Kraft than meets the eye.
Hugh Grant cheated on Elizabeth Hurley with a hooker. The fact that beautiful women throw themselves at rich men doesn't keep them from paying for it.
I know that. But, this...…….situation does not fall even remotely close to the parameter of 'women throwing themselves at rich dudes'.
That was my point. That some men who have beautiful women throwing themselves at them like to pay for it sometimes, as strange as it seems to me. I guess they figure it's cheaper than an expensive dinner? Or they're paying them to go away afterwards?
Sure, except this 'cheaper' is going to be far more costly than an 'expensive dinner'. You know what I mean?
the only thing that should be a legal issue is, were the prostitutes in this country legally? all the rest is just silly
They were forced into it. That's not silly. That's what the main focus was and why the investigation was taking place.
they were here legally it would have been harder to force them.
They were most likely brought here illegally .. possibly kidnapped, but more likely with the promise of a green card and honest work, and they thought they were legally entering the country with hopes for a decent future. Don't blame these women. If you truly understood about what they go through, you'd throw up.
And actually, it's not that hard to force legal residents and citizens when you threaten their families (or they have no decent family), beat them and keep them isolated, rape them for weeks .. you have no idea.
I like you a lot, but this is pissing me off. Please do some research on human trafficking.
Agree, the bigger problem is we do not have control of who comes in and stays here. These poor women are example of this, if they were smuggled in and kept hidden.
Also the problem of supply and demand of things that are considered illegal. If something is prohibited and people want it there will be high profit and other illegal things will be done to make lots of non taxed money
It might be helpful to look at forced prostitution in the same vein as pedophilia in order to understand the outrage.
I don't google the sex trade because I don't want the crap on my computer, but do you know if there are women in the US demanding the right to sell their bodies?
Somehow, I figure it is mostly men demanding that prostitution is made legal, but I am having my doubts that there are that many women really wanting to service them.
In a state where prostitution isn't legal, Mr. Kraft and other patrons are participating in human trafficking.
Lol, let's see what a shitty job the NFL does in handling this one!
Will the NFL get Giuliani to handle this?
Muller handled the Ray Rice case for the NFL
Yes Mueller did. He issued a 65 page report suggesting what the NFL should do concerning abuse cases. It appears, because of the financial factors, the NFL more often than not used the report only for convenience.
Why would you risk arrest by getting tossed in the strip mall? If you have that much money, don't you have your own private place where the massage hookers come to you?
