If the prostitutes were adults he will have moral high ground over most of his colleagues

For real, if it’s legal in those places and he’s not married then honestly that’s not that bad of a thing. having to pay for it’s kinda sad but where it’s legal and if they’re adults why not? I’m an advocate of legalizing brothels in the US. Makes it easier to track who’s working there and gives reason for regular inspections on their money flow.

Making it a regulated industry with mandatory free STD checks for all employees (and ideally clients) would completely eliminate most health concerns. Plus, being a legitimate industry would allow the hiring of legitimate security, which also makes the workers safer in general.

I think the why not is because he is an individual in power and it can make you extremely vulnerable to blackmail from foreign government if they find out you like prostitutes and they can find a way to get evidence/pics. You might not have a moral issue with it but I'm sure this guy isn't pleased with his friends family and the world knowing this information now and for the rest of his life and he might have done things potentially harmful to keep it a secret. This is why certain intelligence positions will not hire you if have debt or financial issues. To avoid coercion.

The OP article says this is alleged to have occurred in Thailand and Colombia. Prostitution is VERY illegal in Thailand (despite the fact that it’s pervasive). It’s legal in Colombia in very regulated locations—anything outside those locations is illegal.

I've never been to Thailand because of the terrible image built up in my mind by my High School sport coach, who would spend the entire summer vacation there then come back and tell us stories about all the sex he had with girls our age and that we needed to screw around with a lot of the girls in the high school because this was the best age. One year he actually came to the last day wearing beach shorts and a hawaiian-style shirt with all of his luggage because he was flying out to Thailand that evening directly after the farewell event. This is still the image I have of adult men who visit Thailand alone or with bro friends. People try to tell me it's family-friendly and all the Thai people I've met have been wonderful people, but I just can't get over that first impression.

Lower-Calligrapher98 16 hr ago +29
Well, there is, I'm told (I've never been there) a lot more too it. I can say, my dad's best friend goes there because he has a dental clinic there, with a UCLA medical school graduate who keeps up all of her American credentials, but operates out of Thailand. All very above board, transparent, and traceable. But because she's in Thailand, she costs FAR less. He says that, with flights and hotels and the like, it costs about the same as getting the same dental work in the USA, plus he gets a nice vacation to Thailand. He has a bunch of friends all over Asia, so he'll make a trip of it, and stop in Japan and Indonesia as well. If he brings his guitar and plays some shows, he can sometimes just about break even on the whole deal. And he brings his wife most of the time, so I'm pretty sure he's not seeing any prostitutes while he is there. So, while the sex tourist thing IS real, it's far from the only reason tourists go there.

roehnin 16 hr ago +36
Yeah I know there is, but if I go there as a solo middle-aged man, the rumours at work about my trip are not going to be about dental work and guitar shows.

People talk about Epstein Island because its genuinely wild how many powerful and scandal surrounded figures seem to overlap in the same elite social circles around Trump and his associates At a certain point the constant connections, photos and relationships stop looking like random coincidence and start making people wonder how all these individuals ended up knowing each other in the first place.

The context of this quote is also important. He’s talking about how they don’t leak information to the press *because they’re family*. The one time the republicans shunned a member was when Madison Cawthorn talked about how other GOP congressmen had cocaine parties.

Also Thomas Massie, from my beautiful state of Ky. Also known as the slime from an egg hatch of McTurtle. Massie still goes down on Trump, even when he’s spent millions on his opponent. Massie got popularity by voting for the release of the Epstein files. The only vote that was anti-Trump. Too many sane people praising him for doing the limbo under the low bar.

He's catching a lot of flak in campaign ads for VoTiNg WiTh ThE dEmOcRaTs against the "Big Beautiful Bill" too. Thing is, he didn't vote against it because he was siding with the Dems, he votes down every budget bill because it's not austere enough. He's still largely a Trump guy. I'm still convinced he championed releasing the Epstein files because he thought it'd bring down members of the left. You'll notice he never says much about Dear Leader's involvement with Epstein.

All of the messed up pedo shit in the files was just the “fun parts” of their meetings, not the main reason for them.

The rest of it was both a reward and a way to make sure they wouldn’t talk no matter what.

It also makes you wonder where this business shifted to, and why the powers that be want to pretend like Epstein's island was some one-time situation. Epstein and Maxwell went to prison and so this close-knit group of rich elite pedophiles who believe they're above the law stopped raping kids forever? Hell no, those Epstein customers are now someone else's customers in a different locale with shady law enforcement.

I don't think it's surprising at all. People's social circles for the most part consist of their own socio-economic peers. When you're a billionaire, the number of peers you have shrinks dramatically, so there probably really are just a few social clusters at that level, in the world. That's not even accounting for the fact that it is very much in their interest to socialize and coordinate among themselves in order to maximize their influence and power (and to prevent outsiders from challenging them).

IAmRoot 22 hr ago +23
It's not just that. It's also that they're so used to being at the top of a hierarchy that they're used to all decisions ultimately being up to them. Same with movie directors, who literally order people to fulfill fantasies every day. It's not hard to see that if that becomes routine, they lose sight of the boundaries and that the people they hire are not there to fulfill their *every* whim. They lose sight of the fact that other people only follow their orders because the coercive system of vastly unequal resource distribution means most people must engage in servitude to survive and don't get to work together as equals.

(Pedantically, prostitution is technically illegal in Thailand, but it's not really prosecuted.) Don't get me wrong, anyone who is in charge of the border under trump is pretty obviously going to be a piece of shit human. But that's not a crime.

Replace super authoritarian type with men in ranking positions of authority and you’ve got it. As someone with an adjacency to the sex industry in the earlier 2000s, you could randomly canvass any pool of girls working in world class area known for strip clubs and sex work (and professional conventions) and they could tell you the really dangerous ones were were the judges and government types and there were a disproportionate quantity of judges represented in the clientele. Doctors were just c****, clergy was c**** but fun, engineers and tech workers were generous, lawyers were generous but super unpredictable, network exec types were extremely polite but transactional and expected oral sex at the very least, actors/signers were hit or miss for generosity (even from one night to the next), and judges and senators were crazy scary territory and their people always moved/impeded/or shut off cameras. Those are the guys you had to really worry about pissing off.

You don’t even have to frame it as “right and wrong” - it can simply be “law and order” vs “rule of law”. The vast majority of people imagine the second when the first is mentioned, but the “order” part of law and order specifically refers to the selective application of law in order to maintain the status quo. “Rule of law” is the notion that the law ought to be applied equally to everybody.

Back in high school my friend’s soccer team went to Brazil on an exchange program. The host families took them to a w**** house.

No. That was the new acting ICE chief, not border patrol. From the article: "Banks took over as border patrol chief in early 2025..."

Is it legal to patronize a prostitute in those countries? Or did he cross into a foreign country to break their laws, like the people he targets?

Engaging in prostitution is a disqualifier for most if not all law enforcement agencies in the US. Doesn't matter if you do it where it's legal.

I get what your saying because our government seems perfectly fine with having a child rapist as a president. But pedophilia is protected even when traveling. Jared Fogal was busted just for that. He was charged with child sex tourism. Now if only we had a big enough spine to hold Trump and his cronies accountable.

Unless you're an undercover cop doing a sting on prostitution. Then you can have sex with them and arrest them after.

I don’t recall where or when specifically, but there were police that would go undercover to catch prostitutes. Now logic says once the act has been agreed to that would be enough, but these officers took it upon themselves to not only set up the transaction but actually go through with the sex and cash parts, making their arrests after.

"disqualifier". The Trump administration doesn't like that word, it's called making an exception to his rule depending on who you are.

I wondered the same..... so In Columbia , it is legal for adults. In Thailand, it is illegal, but not really enforced. If both are consenting adults, I could care less. Once there are kids involved, these people need to see a jail cell.i would even agree with castration.

This was the public reason but for ICE under Trump this doesn’t seem that much? Is anyone else wondering what he did that isn’t being publicized? Like the ages of the girls he needed to travel to another country to sleep with?

““It’s just time,” Banks told Fox News in an interview. “I feel like I got the ship back on course from the least secure, most disastrous, most chaotic border to the most secure border this country has ever seen.” Rodney Scott, the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), commissioner, said: “We thank US Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks for his decades of service to this country and congratulate him on his second retirement after returning to serve during one of the most challenging periods for border security.” This scumbag is getting a hero’s send off, his resignation officially has nothing to do with these allegations. I’m sure he’ll collect a full pension and get a “job” with a private defense contractor making even more money.
