The Senate voted 97-2, who were the 2 who voted against it????? Answer that please, must have been the only democrats who voted.

Seriously, what did you guys expect? I knew way too many people who supported Trump because he claimed to be "tough on crime." Well guess what, that includes us. Now I'm against trafficking. I hope everyone here is. But as far as the fucking government is concerned, paid sex between consenting adults is also illegal. They've been cracking down on CL and BP for a long time. I fully expect BP will follow suit soon and take down their ads too. The thing is, this doesn't make it any safer for the providers. It just forces everything further underground. I have no problem with them going after people who are exploiting others, but they're going to go after everyone. My advice is to stay low. Stick to your regulars if you have any. This isn't something that's just going to blow away. In fact, THIS site may disappear too so be prepared.

...The House previously passed FOSTA and it was combined with the Senate's version - SESTA.

Have bellowed My Body My Choice for years .  

Rand Paul and Ron Wyden, with McCain abstaining. Democrats did not make stand against this.

In February, the House version of the bill, Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), passed. Eleven Democrats and 14 Republicans voted no, with 18 abstentions. The American Civil Liberties Union, The National Center for Transgender Equality, and Freedom Network USA, an alliance of advocates who say they support a human rights-based approach to human trafficking, all opposed the bill.

Just look at the Hollywood types supporting it e.g. Seth Myers and Amy Schumer. Also Kamala Harris is the one who started it all. She was the main champion of the legalisation. This is not a red vs blue issue. Workers are completely isolated on this.

This will just make women even more dependent on the State.  Instead of earning income from consensual activities they will have babies to get support from the State.  I predict an exponential rise in single moms.

The bill was drafted and introduced by a GOP congresswoman from MO. Democratic attempts to water it down were soundly resisted by the majority.  The GOP owns this.

SESTA passed in the House with 388-25, and the Senate 97-2 (McCain was not present to vote). This is bipartisan assfucking, not just something from the right.

now has her eyes on the WH . Hey moron, what party does the mayor of New Orleans belong to. You know , the mayor who is hellbent on closing every strip club in the quarter . Hey moron , what party does the DA in Gwinette Country , GA belong to .  

All of that shit has nothing to do with what is going on now.  Stop trying to make a point by calling me names when you’ve already lost the game.  Loser.

Is this like getting fucked by your FOSTA SESTA??

this one has to top the list. So your saying a SW will supplement lost income due to SESTA by having babies and collecting financial aid from the government. Lol.

Remember the term "Welfare Mom", isn't that a republican term??

was my pick.  I feel so sick knowing that he didn't have a chance because he is too good for the blackmail game.  We no longer have a democracy.  We have wolves that want to send us to federal prison or kill us for gods sake, if we don't want to play the pharmaceutical game and wish to treat our own bodies with an herb that is not near as dangerous.  The real drug dealers are CVS that send me text messages everyday wanting to know if I need a refill.  Fucked up world we live in.  "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"  Republicans have nothing to sell but fear, fear and more fear.  As a fair-minded individual, I have never felt so powerless over my own body.

My baby machine was shut down after 1 child which was enough.

But your attitude is one of the main things wrong with our country.  There are just too many takers.

And "whiney ass crybaby"....isn't that a Dem thing.?

Lefties need to wipe the drool off their chins and finally come to the realization that Bible Thumping Righties, while not exactly friendly to the sex trade, are NOT the ones leading the charge against us.

It was already bought up by some that the dem are just as responsible for this mess. Piling on??, No not you....lol.
But much thanks to Rob Portman for introducing the bill....

except for Meet and Greet –hard to believe that one is still up. I do think they will all have to be moderated, however, to protect against users who post “Thread ads” or the "pick me" posts on the Vegas Board.  To the extent that users post “prostitution should be legal” or discuss the sex trade abstractly etc that is clearly protected political speech as opposed to the lightly protected commercial speech of the ads. Ironically, the much maligned P & R Board is probably the one board most likely to survive unaffected.

yes I was upset when I wrote that.  I realize I should not have said "soon".  In fact, I see that option as a last resort.  My business is still okay right now and I let the fear get to me.  This is really scary stuff right now.  And by the way, I have never been a "taker" my whole life.  I actually overpaid my taxes last year from having a horrible year in business.  And according to at least one of my clients that owns a car dealership, this has been his worst year in business in 17 years.  Every single month.

It clarifies things a lot!
