Why would she want to legitimise Trump's extra marital proclivities?

Trying to keep the oldest profession illegal is like trying to ban rain.

She is looking for a fallback position when her political career tanks.

Opens up a whole new pandorras box and creates another govt bureacracy. If you legaize prostitution you have to have govt oversight and medical testing regulary to test for sexaully transmitted diseases, once they make it legal it becomes the govts job to regulate it.

I think she just thinks she's making history, not an ass of herself, But could be that next she'll push for a law requiring husbands to pay wives for sex.

Probably her real job now but she is getting on in years.

I don't know because I'm not that smart, but it does work on some level or another.

Why doesn't Gov.t just chose to not enforce the laws on the books on sex work? Turn the other cheek, so to speak.

That's much easier than regulating!

Trump does that all the time!

Don't look like she is gaining much momentum at all.

Because of the human trafficking aspect along with the abuse involved.

But seriously how would we feed the prison industrial complex without victimless crimes like drugs and consensual sex?

Like with drugs, legalizing prostitution would hurt, not help, the underground market. Including cartels and sex traffickers.

I know, I didn't say it would. I only answered your question.

Something needs to be done. Even in modern times the police haven't been able to stop it. I sometimes think that they only keep up the pretense so they can get money by fining "johns" and taking their cars away from them. The police know that most of these women are at the mercy of brutal pimps who terrorize them and addict them to drugs and often murder them to terrorize their other girls. With no real protection these woman are targeted by the sickest most brutal men on earth who also torture and murder them. They are a number one target of serial killers. They couldn't possibly be worse off than they are now.

Maybe in the future sex robots might take over the prostitution industry. Like Gigolo Joe and Gigolo Jane in A.I. Artificial Intelligence. :smiley: "What do you know Joe" and "Hows the game Jane."

Where do you get that info from? Although after the non-violent offenders are there with the real criminals a while, relatively unprotected by the people in charge of them: Of course they revert to basic survival and violence. That's what keeps the revolving door open.
Also the prison industrial complex includes country jail and probation. Also job search killers, by the way.
We are the most incarcerated society on earth here in the "Land of the used to be free". Much of that is due to silly laws against victimless crimes that merely serve to grow government, feed megacorps and make unemployment rates look better than they really are.

I have posted the data for you in detail at least twice yet you keep repeating this canard. Do you own research. US prisons are full of people who belong in prison. Roughly half the offenders have committed violent crimes. Do you know why prison is an awful place to be? Do you think it's because it's full of innocent people who were victimized by "the prison industrial complex" (whatever that is)? Seriously?

No, county jail is not prison. Jail is where you await trial, sober up etc. Prison is where you go when you are removed from society because you're an animal who does not deserve to live among the rest of us.
