I find it plausible that Iran influenced the Hamas attack on Israel at the behest of or at least encouragement of Russia. Not only does it create a distraction from Ukraine, it helps boost the narrative to influence the 2024 election "Things were great under Trump, no wars, etc. and now look at the world under Biden." Putin knows that a vote for Trump is a vote for Russia.

I assume you're looking to play, not just look. If so, the more efficient approach is to go directly to the massage and escort websites in those countries, do some research, and find a destination with several chicas that meet your criteria. You can probably find at least a few in almost every country. Statistically, Argentina and Paraguay probably have a bit more of what you're looking for. I agree DR is likely tops for Central America.

Somewhat agree with the OP. Appreciate the effort but prefer the prior look and functionality. I liked the photos on the profile page, the quick link panel on the left, and the icons for the clubs and for the members which livened up the appearance (vs. just plain text). I guess wait patiently and see...

OP's comments about the protesters are spot on - sure some of them are anti-Israel, and some even pro-Hamas, but most of them are likely not. And many of those people are probably pissed that the agitators are getting most of the attention and changing the story.

Flying in just for one night ? Could be exciting or depressing depending on your perspective lol. Sounds like you are going to make the most of it.... please post a detailed review, I'm sure there will be many interested readers !

Dances are $20 each. The girls don't go full topless, but as noted some will whip them out (or allow you to) and you can go to town. Some have great racks. The overall range though is more like 7-8, a few 8.5, haven't seen anything close to a 10 for ages.

>Guess what.... The min wage law he pushed and got passed is EXEMPT from the places he is part owner in. HMMMM... trying to make an unfair advantage? He EXEMPTED a major donors chain of businesses because of the clause "sells bread" (paraphrasing). HMMMM I looked into this post from crsm27 because it just reeked of right wing anti-Newsome distortion. It turns out that is just what it is. The first line is blatantly false because Newsome is not himself an owner of businesses impacted by the new minimum wage law. The hoopla on the major donor connection, a guy who owns several Panera bread stores, appears absurd because this same person owns several other fast food restaurants that clearly are not exempt. Almost certainly, Republicans saw the exemptions in the law, did research to find at least one person who donated to Newsome who benefitted, and then concocted a story that "Newsome did this to help a donor". Another shameless attempted con from the right wing.

Interesting - New York Post is widely known as a trash newspaper, and the term click bait does fit well for them.

Very hard to believe over a hundred college students each spent 2K on that... it doesn't compute unless they are completely ignorant of what else they could have done with 2K.

I'm wondering if gamma is a homo, with all the creepy references to his genitalia when referring to me in recent threads. That's OK , we're good with the LGBTQ on my side of the political spectrum, so I hear.

Lotsa deflection and whataboutisms from gamma there. But the key takeaway is he doesn't deny that Trump is in it for himself first - which was the point of my response to Pussylicker2.

Running for president was a continuation and extension of Trump's brand-based business empire.... casinos, hotels, golf courses, university, bottled water, TV shows, etc. He needs to be in the spotlight. Look at all the stuff he has continued to try to sell and make money off of. The notion that somehow along the way he became more motivated by serving his country than serving himself is the funniest thing I read all day. If he was a true patriot he would have respected the results of the 2020 election and not tried to con people it was stolen.

A very tough question Ron, though an intriguing one. My head is spinning with the possibilities lol. Impossible to settle on one clear top choice, but it would be along these lines: 2000 plane 3000 upscale hotel or airbnb 1000 food/misc 2000 general club expenses - club setting for warm up, or scouting for in-house or take out 12000 for 6 nights over the week (3 on, 1 off, 3 on) @ 2000/night for company with 2-3 ladies ITC or OTC or outcall escorts. Potential destinations: Sao Paulo, Madrid, Toronto, and I'd even consider blowing it all on a trip to the top Florida clubs which I've read a lot about here. The one common requisite is it would have to be all 8.5s and 9s.

The Hotel Del Rey was indeed legendary, but never came close to 500 chicas. 200 max. It closed for a couple years when Covid started in 2020. It was back open in 2022, but the chica selection was a shadow of it's glory days - about 20 when I stopped in one evening. Though I did pull one very attractive young lady. Now though, from what I read the HDR is being repurposed under new management and the chica scene may officially be done.

You can pull a chica from Taormina out to another hotel, no problem (as long as your hotel is chica-friendly). No short stay rooms there AFAIK, but might not hurt to ask if they can make you a deal. There are some nice love motels in town, the chicas should know them. Hotel de Paso Estrella was super nice.

@longjohn81 For clubs focus on Alcazar, Pantera Rosa and Le Grillon. Alcazar has the best rooms, PR the largest selection of dancers. For freelancers, Taormina is the top spot, better than Sportsmen, best selection in the evening.

Tango India has been reviewed here several times, though last review was in 2020. I went there once in 2019, it had been on my bucket list for awhile. I'm glad I went, but I never returned. PROS: Huge, impressive club; has an actual plane inside; private area for lap dances; numerous large themed-rooms for on-site action (I got a tour and saw them up close, really amazing); and the hottest girls in town. CONS: Long drive from Barrio Amon and the downtown area; very expensive if you are looking for action (think 3-4X the going rate in town). I also thought the lighting was too bright when I went. FUN FACT: I did a Tango India dancer once, but not in the club. I met her in 2020 in the middle of Covid when the clubs were closed. She was working as a freelancer at the Cocal in Jaco. She was smoking hot and we made a deal for 100. Not a chance you could get that in the club normally.

Uncle Leo, or some journalist or activist, etc. Or more likely applicable, just the sheer point of doing some research, visiting a club and contributing a review before expecting intel from others. The OP did the opposite and unsurprisingly has now vanished without a review.

>I asked about scanning and he said the license was scanned when he held it up to read it Complete douche move, shows zero respect for the customer without their consent. If it's not illegal it should be.

@Palm great review. Lots of good details and observations. The negatives you mentioned are not uncommon, but I wouldn't say common either. I think your experience tilted on the negative, less common end. Friday afternoon is probably the busiest and most competitive time; another slower afternoon would likely be better. IME the bartenders are usually reasonable, not pushy, but could be different story if it's packed. I like the music, and occasionally there is some rock too. Your worst dance ever dancer is in the minority, there are a few like that but most are more fun. And your Latina clone dancer is also in the minority, most are good with 10 songs and 7-8 songs is also doable with several depending on your negotiation skills. I would agree with "This place is good if you have long pockets and like to play the long game."

Will gladly opine on Sydney Sweeney's tits. As suggested by my board name, I am uniquely qualified to weigh in on this debate lol. After careful review of her photos and videos, I conclude that Sydney Sweeney's boobs are indeed big and fantastic. Pushing the upper limit of being too big, without exceeding it. Not the greatest, but I'd put her rack within the range of the top 10% I've enjoyed. For comparison, this one I met recently would be in my top 5%. https://tuscl.net/photo/13915

Someone at Slate posted that her boobs are not that big. A right wing radio host tweeted in reply that "Left wing media outlets are mad" and "Left wingers hate boobs" A right wing strip club board member posted that this tweet is one of the top 10 truest of all time. LMAO !

Celebrating Steak and Blowjob Day early? Hopefully you will be able to repeat again on Thursday.

^ What wealth was transferred from which opponents for student debt relief ?

The example provided was a teacher in Massachusetts, a state in the top 5 for most expensive to live in and highest teacher salaries, making 135K and living in a house valued at 1.1M. This is clearly a skewed example, most Americans have lower income and net worth (when I said lower, I meant lower than this teacher in MA). An analysis by Penn Wharton showed the original proposal had about 2/3 of the benefits going to households making 88K or less per year. https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2022/8/26/biden-student-loan-forgiveness For what's actually been implemented to date, I can't find a good breakdown by income but reports indicate that the lion's share went to the middle class (vs. high/low incomes). We know a large chunk went to borrowers enrolled in Public Service Loan Forgiveness programs, including teachers, law enforcement professionals and social workers. Nationwide, the vast majority of these people have lower incomes than the 135K example of the MA teacher. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/student-loan-forgiveness-9-billion-125000-borrowers-who-they-are/

More Republican government overreach trying to control what an adult woman can do with her body.

Sounds like a fringe example, and not representative. A look at the distribution of beneficiaries likely shows student debt relief skewed more to lower incomes and lower net worth. Contrast this with the Trump tax cuts, which gave huge windfalls to millionaires and billionaires across the board.

Biden did well. Lots of good stuff in that speech. He reminded Americans of the significant legislative achievements of his first 2 years and how they help average Americans. He reminded Americans that Trump's biggest legislative achievement was a huge tax cut to the wealthiest Americans. He pitched the idea that resentment and revenge are outdated, regressive ideas of the past that won't move the country forward. No doubt we'll hear this theme again. Biden has arguably failed on immigration to date, but now the bipartisan Senate bill provides a serious path forward. He rightly hammered this home and called on Congress to pass it. Trump gave Biden a gift when he intervened. Biden and Dems will keep hammering on this all the way through to November.

@shailynn - the intel on spas in TO is kept under wraps when it comes to details like FS. The guys on the local board actually do an amazing job of being discrete and respecting the code, and it won't be obvious to most readers. It's also enforced by the mods. I was kind of amazed that it took me so long to clue into this, but some backchannel with a couple of local punters filled me in. From then on when I read the reviews with fresh eyes I could pick up on various clues and comments. I remember going to a couple of the top-rated high mileage spas on my next trip and bingo the mileage was great. The downside is the girls here often expect the upgrades and sometimes won't provide a good experience if you don't upgrade. So if you just want a lower-mileage session you go to the lower mileage places, such as Allure and Flirt which are two of the best.

I concur SalaoLikeSantiago, the Toronto scene is indeed underrated. The P4P infrastructure is immense and diverse. Just using the three categories you mentioned - there are probably 10-20 good spas, and similar numbers of clubs and agencies, which if you add it all up probably comprise at least 50 spots and 500 workers available on any given day. All within a 30 minute drive of the GTA. Lots of indies there too, but like in the US they have gone the way of deposits and screening and high prices, which puts them in the "too much hassle" bucket. I don't know the clubs well, the few I visited were OK but a visit to Atlantis a couple months ago was actually a bit of a disappointment. Conversely, I love the spas, and had great times again on my last visit, including Allure. There are numerous agencies offering both incall and outcall, many having 30 minute incall options at 160 CAN which is just $120 US ! They all have websites with photos and descriptions, and the local forum is a tremendous resource for reviews and Q&A. The local punters with free time and cash have almost endless options. I am up in TO and Montreal at least once a year, sometimes twice. I'd go more often, but it would be at the expense of other favorite destinations, which isn't an option I'd consider right now.

This threat against Lankford pretty much sums it up: “I had a popular commentator that told me flat out, before they knew any of the contents of the bill, if you try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you, because I do not want you to solve this during the presidential election,” the Oklahoma Republican continued.

>1) Pelosi: You can read after you vote for it; LOL you probably got suckered by the Fox News spin on this like many others. Pelosi was referring to the fact that the House didn't have a Senate bill yet, they were urging the Senate to pass a bill so they (the House) could see what's in it. And importantly, show that it wasn't about death panels and a jobs killer and all the lies that Republicans tried to throw at it. Years later, the ACA/Obamacare became so popular that Republicans not only couldn't repeal it, but they have now abandoned it as part of their agenda.

HR2 wasn't a bipartisan effort. It was just a Republican vision of their own preferred approach, with no effort for bipartisan support, and therefore not a single Democrat vote. The recent Senate bill was bipartisan. Those who worked on it deserve kudos. If Republicans are serious about making progress on illegal immigration they should be looking at it. When you have a divided government, sometimes you need to compromise to get things done.

The right wing sure is trying to get a lot of mileage out of this story. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the Senate that would have imposed tougher immigration and asylum laws was rejected by House Republicans. Apparently because Trump told them to, as it would hurt them in the election. I conclude from this that Republican's main interest in this topic is for political gain.

Eh it depends. If I want to settle in and not get pushed for dances too soon, that's what I'm gonna do. Sometimes you miss out, but there's always another time.

We need to support Ukraine and bring Putin to justice.

I had to read this review because of the title lol. Looks like you know your way around this place. Sometimes waiting it out works out, but not always. It can happen to anyone.

@londonguy I posted a review of the Hustler Club in Warsaw, it was a good experience but I read some clubs can be scams so need to do your research. https://tuscl.net/review/387981 By far the best recommendation I can provide is to go to Mero Massage Salon. Hot young Polish girls, good mileage but not FS. I went three times.

"Norman Eisen, a former special counsel in the Obama administration, said it was common for the White House Counsel’s Office to become involved when the testimony of officials from former administrations is sought, because there may be issues of executive privilege." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/11/us/trump-biden-fani-willis-nathan-wade.html

Nathan Wade was seeking witnesses for his investigation, and the White House Counsel’s Office had to be involved as testimony of officials from the Trump admin was being sought. Biden wasn't involved.

Nice review thanks. I'm a bit envious you got Brianna lol, had very good times with her before but she is hard to catch, usually tied up with regulars.

Biden isn't trying to get him locked up.

Thanks for the review. I saw Tatianna several times before Covid, I don't recall ever tipping. Things might be different now but 70 seems crazy.

Nice review, thanks. Vanessa short with the great rack? Been with her several times, she is usually fun.

>Next we found out that an incredibly high number of athletes Let's start here. Claims baselessly link COVID vaccines to athlete deaths https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-covid-vaccines-athlete-deaths-1500-989195878254 No evidence COVID-19 vaccines are linked to athletes collapsing or dying from myocarditis https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N2SK160/ And plenty more articles debunking this crock promoted by Elon Musk.

Given Trump's willful retention of documents, and refusal to return them after repeated requests (unlike Biden), I assume there is agreement that Trump should be convicted as well. Probably jailed too, as his offense was far worse.

>You don't really believe that, do you? 100% >The saddest part is that if Trump had done it, you'd be up in arms and calling for investigations. You know it's true. Totally false and laughable, delusional bs. Trump was originally a big supporter of the vaccine. Remember "Operation Warp Speed" which he bragged about? But when he lost the election, he and some of his followers tried to spin it into yet another crock about the government taking away our freedoms and trying to control us. Trump actually got booed when he got the booster shots. Just a slick huckster looking out for himself. Meanwhile, Biden acted responsibly, making major efforts to encourage vaccine education and adoption based on the best available science and data at the time, all with the goal to minimize future spikes in morbidity and mortality that had swamped healthcare systems in 2020.

Agree on the two biological sexes. As far as censoring, I'd support some degree of countering the misinformation, just like with covid.

Based on scientific merit including peer-reviewed, published research.

Not enough details here to judge. We know there was a lot of horseshit floating around during the peak of Covid. Seems appropriate the government took some measures to address misinformation during a pandemic.

Sounds like good 'ol Clancy's. Nice review. Did you really hit 5 clubs in one run? I think my record is 4.

Nonsense, we love strip clubs. Most of us don't host at home, and don't want the cost and hassle of arranging an appointment OTC. Drew has a great list there.

Ouch bad timing man lol. There are a few decent lookers here, but most seem < 8. Rosemary is nice, great tits.

Trump's net worth is estimated to be $2.6B, so the $83M award is 3.2% of his net worth. Given the principle that the fine should deter future similar behavior, what initially might seem like a crazy high amount is more understandable.

I love Taco Bell, but only once a month.

>Gamma-nu is a women’s sorority Oh man that's the most fantastic thing I learned today by far LMAO. A black women's sorority to boot ! How the heck do you explain choosing a board name like that?

Wow cool read.... thanks for the write-up.

5foot perhaps you are assuming you're in the VIP all paid up for a FS session. In that scenario, an extra charge for a titfuck would indeed be crazy. The other scenario is where the house fee is paid separate from the dancer tip, which can usually be negotiated at any level between the dancer's absolute minimum (which might be as simple as heavy petting or a HJ) all the way up to the most expensive item on her menu.

I got hit on the change to the SALT deduction too. Meanwhile Trump’s tax cuts helped billionaires pay less than the working class for the first time.

Countless times. Generally, it's at the same level as a handshake or else just a bit higher. Never on par with FS, which is great because it's just as enjoyable if not more, depending on the girl and her assets. Baby oil is a must.

>I do and have worked every day to improve the quality of the character of everyone I have ever worked for, alongside, or employed. LOL and yet online you're a keyboard warrior with a nasty and malicious attitude to people with differing political views. If your online persona is a reflection of the real you, I'll have to flag your post as virtue-signaling bs. BTW, Happy New Year !

^ that's a hot move for sure

Brilliant

Same as James. Just got back home from doing that an hour ago.....

#7.... I would have instantly and spontaneously burst out laughing in her face (then got up and walked away). Thanks for the heads up !

Nice review, love the Dead Parrot Sketch reference lol

I've been to 4. Including the top rated strip club in the world - the Allure Erotic Massage Studio. LOL

>What you need for a good US club: >2. Cubans No thanks, I'd rather have Americans, Europeans, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republican, many places. Cuban dancers are good for sure (I know a couple). But given a choice, I'd rather not have the dancers from a communist country that considers the US an enemy and is friendly with Iran and Russia. Yeah one might argue the dancers don't have any part of that, but they are probably sending money back home.

^ Agreed, the list is a joke because of lack of oversight

$350 for all night. And a bit more for dinner and drinks.

Nice story Drew, I've had moments of appreciation like that many times. "pooning smarter not harder" good one. It would be the definition of impossible to have had all the high quality poontang I've had without spending some money.

All Latin women, mostly from Dominican Republic. Range from slim/fit to thick to slightly overweight. Quality 5.5-7.5 range mostly. Gems are possible but rare. On top of all that, they don't make much effort to get your business. My last couple visits I drank half my beer and left.

L'enfer c'est les autres ? Famous words from Jean-Paul Sartre, a bit extreme but some truth to it.

I think it's standard MO for some girls to always ask for a tip, they figure it works 50% of the time so why not always ask. I don't encounter it much, but when I do I'll judge based on the time and money already spent, quality of service and interest in repeating. When you don't tip it's worth watching how they interact with you on future visits - very often they're still friendly and wanting to go with you again.

Thank you veterans, I will be on the lookout today for anywhere I can express my appreciation

>I get not buying drinks for dancers you're not interested it. But engaging by joking and chatting and then not giving them anything is a douche move. Eh that's far too absolute a rule, it depends on the duration. If a dancer starts up a convo with you and you chat and joke for a couple minutes, there's no obligation to give them anything. It's called being friendly, and maybe an opportunity to get to know a dancer a bit who you didn't know, who you might spend more time with in the future. On the dancer's side, it's a small investment of time for a potential future customer. Furthermore this is a really US-centric perspective. In clubs in other countries, it's often normal procedure for the guy to chat up a few girls (again, for a few minutes, without tipping) to narrow down his final choice.

A recent report shows that migrants were more likely to be released by Trump than Biden: https://www.cato.org/blog/new-data-show-migrants-were-more-likely-be-released-trump-biden Aside from the obvious negatives of Trump, the astounding ignorance of facts on the right is another reason why I'm likely to vote for Biden in 2024.

I don't know what clips you saw funonthaside, but I searched on YouTube and all the clips that came up seemed mostly neutral/normal or slightly favorable on Biden's speech. For fun I went and looked on Breitbart, here's a quote I found: "Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said, “I think it may be remembered as one of the best, if not the best, speeches of his presidency. He was firm, he was unequivocal, he was strong, as he has been particularly in recent days before he went to Israel and while he was over there.”"

Biden did well in the address to the nation last week, from the clips I saw. He is striking the right balance (or pretty darn close) for a complex Middle East situation, and is 100% correct on Ukraine. Many Dems would likely prefer another 2008-Obama type of candidate, if there was one. Until then, critical thinking people will grade Biden on substance and not just style.

Here's what I would have done, likely. Go back to Hong Kong the next night, hang out for awhile with a drink, and casually chat up who you think is the most influential person around, manager or owner. Or even two of them. Include someone who knows you spend a lot of money there. In a calm manner, explain you won't be taking any chicas tonight, and it will be your last visit to Tijuana for a long time, perhaps 2 years. When they ask why, you explain what went down with the policia. It won't solve the problem, but you will be registering a data point and reaction that will get the attention of management, and may also get back to their policia contacts. And you'll have the satisfaction of having done something. Don't go back again for 2 years.

Nah Brahma2k, just adding some more facts and information to the discussion. Electronman had a good analysis. I had read those FLSA numbers before but forgot about them. FLSA has a federal Minimum Cash Wage of 2.13, and a Combined Cash & Tip Minimum Wage of 7.25. There are 15 states that use the 2.13 minimum, and they are all red (including Indiana, Wyoming and Kentucky mentioned by the OP as high tipping). Employers in these 15 states can pay as low as 2.13 as long as the minimum of 7.25 is met with tips combined (or slightly higher in 2 of the 15). These levels are well below most blue states. The higher tip% in these red states is potentially influenced by lower meal costs and recognition of the greater importance of the tip to the worker.

Per the Toast website: Delaware was the best tipping state at 21.5%. In the top 10 states, 8 were red. California was the worst tipping state at 17.4%. In the bottom 10 states, 5 were red. Overall the list tilts to red states tipping better, but not as lopsided as the OP implies. The spread low to high is only 4.1%. We are not talking about huge differences here.

>You know what I appreciate research. Then do more, and stop extrapolating fringe views to be representative of the majority. Widen your news consumption beyond NY Post.

>zero will be expelled; people being apprehended are being released into this country Comments like this reinforce that skibum is truly the dumbest low information voter on TUSCL. DHS Conducts Dozens of Removal Flights Every Week https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/04/27/dhs-conducts-dozens-removal-flights-every-week Release Date: April 27, 2023 DHS conducted over 1.2 million expulsions, removals and returns in first half of fiscal year 2023 U.S. to restart deportations to Venezuela in effort to reduce record border arrivals https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-venezuela-deportations-reduce-record-border-arrivals/ October 5, 2023

>the terrorist government of Biden admitted to 210,000 last month. 210,000 too many, @skibum - Those are 210,000 migrant apprehensions. A key question is: how many of those have or will result in expulsion, deportation or repatriation?

Trump for Prison would be more like it. The federal charges are sound and serious. It would be the appropriate outcome for Trump to join those whose lives have been ruined by their association with and support of him.

^ Name one lie, or be known as the liar yourself

Yeah crazyjoe has not signed on since January. One of my favorite posters here...

@rattdog - numbers from government, obviously. Federal, state or local as the case may be depending on the stat. They are the ones tracking it. For awhile now I've been trying to find some kind of article like "The Immigration Issue Shown in 9 Charts", with government data from this year (or last) and going back two decades, covering a range of statistics including border encounters, deportations/expulsions, border guard numbers, illegal immigrant population growth, public funding costs, etc. I haven't found exactly this type of article, but various different articles with pieces of information. It's a complex issue to connect the pieces together. Clearly, recent reports like those out of NY show there is a significant issue, but it's important to try to put it all in context. Only a fool would take the right wing narratives at face value.

>lol I'm stunned some of y'all are still down with cause What "cause" ? That Dems are intentionally encouraging and allowing illegal immigration to get more blue votes? Do you have any evidence of this age-old right wing conspiracy theory? See this is the problem with the discussion, many right wingers are so indoctrinated by the spin from Fox News, Breitbart, etc. that they can't step back and look at all the facts and come up with different opinions. I agree we can't afford to support an endless number of immigrants with public dollars. 100%. But we need more data and facts to understand how current numbers are trending vs. historical, and what unique events are happening today to explain the numbers. There are many efforts being taken to reduce the number of illegal crossings, so we know the "open border" rhetoric is a lie.

Of all the political topics that get the least amount of intelligent discussion, illegal immigration is probably at the top of the list. Every time there is a Democrat president, like clockwork Republicans dust off their playbook and howl that "illegals are flooding the country". No doubt, stats have proven this is an effective rallying cry to get Republicans to vote. Rather than provide a wholistic view of the issue, the right wing peddles a narrow set of facts and their commentators pile on with various narratives, some of the results of which are on display here. Brain-dead comments from the OP, and emotional rants like the last paragraph from gammanu. You would think the left would counter these narratives with more facts, stats and counterpoints to the discussion, and get more of the story out. But they haven't done much of that. So on this topic, I'd have to give Biden and most other elected Dems an "F" on the messaging.

LG, If there are more clubs like I described in Europe, they don't seem to have received nearly the same attention as the FKKs. At least from what I've read over the years, though granted I have not researched Europe extensively. Zurich is on my list somewhere, and the top class club you mentioned would be another reason to go. Though I have a feeling the prices might be double those in SA. We'll see who gets there first ;) I believe your comment on Dubai is spot on. I learned a bit about the scene there from talking with a gorgeous girl I met a few times at a top club in Brazil. She worked in both Sao Paulo and Dubai, and filled me in on the places and prices. Another destination on the bucket list. Alas, I've been visiting a few South and also Central America cities and rotating them regularly in recent years, and have a few favorites who keep me coming back. So it's hard to fit in new places, but I "force" myself to visit a new destination every year or two.

This guy TheeOSU talks about useful posts, but all he's done in the last month is chase around other posters and make disparaging remarks about them. I haven't even posted much lately, but every time I do this guy seems to pop up with his crap. His post above has an element of a compliment, but the swipe is still there. He's done it with another poster too. I'm putting him on ignore (mute), joining Icee as the only two I have on my ignore list.

Hey LG you definitely have a ton of experience with the FKKs, thanks for the latest report. I did a few FKK tours many many years ago, mainly Oase, Atlantis, Palace, Pascha and Samya. They were all fun. But around this same time or soon after I discovered the clubs in South America and never looked back. A few main differences I found were the women in the FKKs just weren't as sexy walking around naked or topless, the FKKs felt more transactional with less opportunity to hang out and socialize, and no take out or OTC options for dinner, dates, extended hotel visits or overnights. In contrast, in many SA clubs the attire is classy but sexy, social time w/ drinks first is the norm, and take out or OTC options are fairly easy to arrange (at some places take out is the only option). So you have a much wider spectrum of options, depending on your mood. So I'm wondering, did you ever visit some of these other types of clubs, and conclude that you still liked FKKs the best? Perhaps the options in Europe are limited though. I'm not aware of these other club formats in Europe, except for Lisbon and Madrid.

Nope, it's compounded so 80%.

It has been reported that autoworker wages dropped by more than 20% over the past two decades when adjusted for inflation. Compensation grew by just 18.1% from 1978 to 2021. This is frankly jaw-dropping. Nowhere near the fairly consistent 3% annual pay raise I've had for the past two decades (80% raise over two decades). Meanwhile, profits at the Big 3 increased 92% from 2013 to 2022, totaling $250 billion, and the companies paid out nearly $66 Billion in shareholder dividend payments and stock buybacks. I hope they clean house with the CEOs and boards who are completely shafting their workers.

Of course Biden and Dems are going to weigh in on the strike, this is exactly the type of issue that is at the core of the Democratic Party - ensuring the wealth created by capitalism is more evenly shared and less concentrated at the top. Which is precisely the opposite of the core Republican position of cutting taxes, under the guise of "letting you keep more of your hard earned money" while providing massive windfalls to the top 0.1%.

I wouldn't fuck her, she is not worthy

Well done, sometimes you have to seize the moment.

The indictments are not about helping Biden win in 2024. If anything, Dems would rather have Biden run against Trump than some of the others. The indictments are about bringing justice to Trump's attempts to undermine our Democracy, which most Americans feel strongly about.

While I generally consider him a slimeball, Greg Gutfeld does make me laugh sometimes. In his post-debate recap, discussing exchanges between Haley and Ramaswamy, he said: "Wow, talk about some hot Indian-on-Indian action right there. If Joe Biden had just turned on the debate, he'd think 7-Eleven started a talk show." LMAO

^ Exactly, and the other candidates see right through it.

I didn't watch it, I don't have those cable stations. But from what I read, Christie had a pretty good line: “This is the great thing about this country, booing is allowed, but it doesn’t change the truth.”

The smearing and suspicions will come from the right on this one, and it's already happening if you see the article on Fox News and the comments people are posting there. The left doesn't have any major problem with Soros, who the right have painted to be a bogeyman.

We have DEI where I work and it gets its 5 minutes of attention, but at the end of the day hiring decisions are based on ability to do the job. I have never been unduly influenced in the slightest on any hiring decision I've made. And I can't afford to hire someone who can't do the job. This DEI topic seems like any other Fox News overblown programming effort to create a distorted version of the country for low information voters.

I saw that Soros article earlier today and had to LOL. Vivek Ramaswamy is now linked to Soros, one of the biggest villains of the right wing. 50:50 odds someone brings it up at the Republican debate tomorrow.

^ Haha good one

Muddy is trolling on the topic of DEI, portraying it as something unreasonable and to be mocked. What I'm curious to know is, is this based on actual first hand experience or just what he reads in the media?

>sweet caroline - bah bah bah gawd i fucking hate that shit!! Even worse is when you're sitting back in a club enjoying a talented high mileage service and this song comes on. Happened to me in a small go-go club years ago (presumably, somebody using the Touch Tunes machine) and was maddening beyond belief.

It seems massively dumb to say a man being sexually attracted to hot women they don't know "falls under the umbrella of the asexual spectrum."

Recommended reading for anyone who thinks Trump was just "complaining" about election results. 27 Donald Trump election lies listed in his Georgia indictment https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/politics/fact-check-trump-georgia-indictment-lies/index.html

Clearly, guns are going to have zero relevance in the indictments against Trump. They will only continue to be involved in 40,000 deaths every year.

The Bragg indictment does seem more political. But the other 3 indictments are all about justice, and showing there are some things you just can't do to undermine our democracy and expect to get away with it.

In NJ I would say it's tilting slightly on the slow side right now.

>He makes sense for most Americans Lol speak for yourself. VR seems to be pandering to several red meat conservative issues (who knows if he really believes what he says), which make him wholly unfit for office in my opinion: - scale back support for NATO and Ukraine, ceding parts of Ukraine to Putin - gutting several agencies including FBI, IRS, CDC - playing up attacks on the largely imaginary enemy "Woke"

Not US, but Sao Paulo has one of the best night club scenes IMO. I posted some reviews within the last year.

>These indictments are about MAGA/his supporters - support Trump and this too will happen to you. Kool aid in full effect

sfeteh122 is correct that decriminalization of sex work is more likely to come from the left. The religious pro-life base on the right isn't going to let that happen.

>The left wants central control by the anointed elite in federal government. More stupidity

Trump's latest outbursts are an embarrassment, these statements have to be absolutely cringeworthy for many Republicans. Implied threat against witnesses: "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU." About Nancy Pelosi calling him a scared puppy: "She is a Wicked Witch whose husbands journey from hell starts and finishes with her. She is a sick & demented psycho who will someday live in HELL!"

The far right wingers are hurting with the latest indictments against their hero. If it was all politically motivated, you wouldn't see prominent Republicans joining the condemnation against Trump.

Some of us never had that experience, but always suspected it might play out like this at an upscale club. Thanks for taking the time to write it up and share with all of us. The VIPs I usually do are 90 for the house and 200-250 for the dancer (that's what I negotiate). No stupid champagne and tips, except I give the floor manager 100 for the house and he keeps the 10 change.

>Not sure what the source of this "news" is Mark is a prolific copy and paster from his "reliable sources" = posters he trusts on X and Truth Social

We'll have to wait and see what charges stick with alleged influence peddling in the Biden family and Trump's alleged crimes. But documented facts around the latter are abundant. The former will have a harder time getting traction in part due to the right wing cesspool of conspiracy theories and lies, such as blaming Biden for the war, inflation and crime, and the Republican top agenda item of revenge.

And yet the only evidence of election malfeasance appears to be the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen, which has now come home to roost with the findings of the Jan. 6 committee, the $787M settlement against Fox News, and the recent indictments against Trump.

Biden supposedly had dinner with a company exec - is that it ? Nice try. Keep trying to pin something on Biden, meanwhile the evidence against Trump is becoming overwhelming.

Maybe he finally went to Mongolia

All this Hunter Biden stuff is largely a desperate effort at distraction from the right, and pales in comparison to Trump's offenses. I hope we can see a speedy resolution to Trump's remaining legal issues (i.e., jail), defeat in 2024, and get this turd out of the news cycle once and for all. We'd love to be not talking about him anymore.

>They all have Presidential Libraries Huh, the issue is taking classified documents and obstructing efforts to return them when requested. Only Trump did that as far as I know.

I don't find a lot of misinformation in the media, it's more bias. Where it gets to clear misinformation is in some of these conspiracy theories, which the right wing often push. CNN is my main go-to for reliable information.

Never been to Tijuana, though I know it's popular with some guys. I always wondered if it was because it was actually really good (affordable with lots of 8s and 9s), or just some people are not aware of what other options are possible in other countries.

I see many discussions where the OP posts about some topic or issue, gets a lot of good feedback, but never replies back. I wonder if reverendhornibastard will reply and tell us whether the feedback here might have changed his opinion about his money being "wasted". I'm impressed that he covered 6 continents. I'm "only" at 5 but will get Down Under at some point. In fact that sounds like another goal to add to the list. I've spent twice the amount he has in half the time, and like several others have no regrets. Not only the women and the physical aspect, but the social aspect, the travel, the new cities and cultures and languages, and the occasional company of like-minded fellow punters, have enriched my life.

>I'm being a dick because you're posting FAKE NEWS that makes you feel good about your uninformed opinions and incorrect assumptions. Try being an adult, doing the research, doing the work, challenging yourself, and accept when the facts are against you and your position is unsustainably wrong. We already have too many dithering old fools on this site who make up the truth as they go along. Don't be them. LOL this is absolutely wild. Gammanu lecturing someone about what he himself needs to do, after his lies about hacks into Hillary Clinton's server were thoroughly discredited: https://tuscl.net/discussion/82923

Sort of interesting, but will agree it means very little. Apple News has a somewhat click-bait feel to it, so I'm not a fan. Reuters is a respected news company that doesn't generally buy in to conspiracy theories, hence the understandable attempts to discredit it from the far right.

Did you really say you were on a strip club journey at the Canadian border ? LOL They have threads on other boards dedicated to what to say at the border crossing. Anyways, sounds like some great adventures there Muddy. We salute you.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcWXCaXQmKI

Nixur, I can't speak for all of Canada, but in Toronto/Mississauga and Montreal (and some of the cities in between) there are numerous places like Allure, with the offerings I described. I believe they are licensed as body rub parlors in the bylaws, so there is no pretense that it's just a professional massage. They advertise openly, including websites with photos of the girls and rooms and list of options. 4-hands, Nuru, and various fetishes are available depending on the spa. Some have "sampler" options where you can divide up the hour between 2 or even 3 ladies. You can check out some of the websites to get an idea. In Toronto I have used Allure, Flirt, Muse, Seduction, Premier, Steeles Royale, Airport Golden, etc. you can see there are literally hundreds of hot chicks working at these places. In Montreal, LePenthouse and Avalon are a couple good ones. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

There is a vast spectrum of massage, and the US massage scene IMO is in the bottom quartile. If you can travel outside the US, there are many countries with better options, spanning all manner of massage settings and experiences, some you probably don't even realize exist. I have been in the hobby many years, and clubs and massage places have been equal drivers of my adventures. Massage places can have some of the hottest girls, because they offer a format for those who want to keep things very private and/or to make good money without having sex. That's funny Allure is the #1 club on TUSCL, lol. It's an MP, with hot girls and among the nicest amenities you will find anywhere. Decent massage with HJ, but edging and Russian are often available too. There are another 10-20 good places in Toronto like this, some with higher mileage. While Allure is lower mileage, it has a reputation for consistent high quality of service and girls.

>In late April, I put about 80% of my life’s savings into Tesla stock. It’s up 60% since then. A bold and great call Mark. Up another 14 bucks today so near +70% since you got in. You must be thinking about taking some off the table.

Tetradon's last post = right wing deception Inflation has been a global issue, due to a combination of a historic pullback in spending during Covid and disruption in supply chains. Net result = tremendous imbalance of demand outpacing supply post-Covid. Biden's spending was a real but minor contributor in the US. The CPI is now down to about 4%, from about 9% last year. We've done much better than Europe. The Price Is Right: U.S. Inflation Hits Two-Year Lows In May https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/current-inflation-rate/

Thanks The Harris poll from June 14-15 (which they link to) shows the abortion poll results on slide 31: 47% (not 64%) of voters favor a law that would ban most abortions after six weeks They only get to the 64% number when they lump several questions (such as taxes) together. Of course, most people want lower taxes. Looks kind of sneaky.

>Bad stuff that happened from 2016-2020: Trump fucking things up Mark again you are spreading false information. I never said that. He didn't fuck things up, he had it easy and the main thing he did was help rich people like himself get richer at the expense of the federal debt.

^ No, I was transparent that Covid was not Trump's fault and to focus the argument on pre-Covid, which is clearly what Republicans want to do. The deception here is squarely on the right wingers, who want to conveniently ignore Covid as they try to pin inflation, etc. entirely on Biden. Oh, and ridiculous statements like Biden "destroyed the economy".

>64% of voters say they would want to live in a state that cuts taxes, encourages public charter schools, does not allow gender surgery for minors, and restricts most abortions after six weeks. Mark, where do you get that 64% of voters favor restricting abortions after six weeks ? Link please.

^ That list is mostly the result of Trump riding Obama's coattails. There are many charts you can pull up that show it was a continuation of strong trends in place for many years under Obama. It also ignores Covid, which while not Trump's fault, turned many things upside down and lead to metrics that show the country was in much worse shape when he left office, the standard metric for judging a president. So to play along with the narrative above, we must focus only on pre-Covid. In this context, Trump had it easy, inheriting a strong economy from Obama, no wars and no fallout from Covid. What can we truly attribute to Trump? - A giant tax cut where 70% of the savings went to the richest 5%. - Meanwhile, the federal debt went up from $14 trillion to $21 trillion. - Global opinion of US sank to historic lows. Trump was a one-term president for a good reason, and he only got that one term with help from a sophisticated Russian campaign of interference approved by Putin, who had determined that a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives. That alone should give Americans pause. Trump's conduct since he lost in 2020 has proven him wholly unworthy of serving as President again. Republicans should pick another candidate like Chris Christie, who did a nice job in the CNN Town Hall last week.

I agree with 25 that gammanu is a glutton for punishment. >from wld4cocks own article link: "DOJ IG: FBI Failed to Review Classified Info ‘Potentially Relevant’ to Email Investigation before Exonerating Clinton" How "low-information" can you get than to not even read past the headline, and link to 5-7 year old articles that disprove your own claim? That is a "related article" on the 2nd link I posted, and has nothing to do with the topic of hacking. The search term "hack" doesn't even show up in that article. What a total red herring. The article is also from 2019, 4 years ago. The only 5-7 year old articles are the multiple articles gammanu posted from 2016, which can be easily verified in the URLs without even clicking on them. I would say gammanu is math-challenged too, but the more likely explanation is that he is backed into a corner and flailing. Anyone following the back and forth and checking the links can see that gammanu has lied repeatedly.

>Wildforpenis just got flicking smashed lol. Skibum just outed himself as a low information voter lol

The problem with gammanu's articles is that none of them have substantiated evidence. Most of them are speculative with statements "probably hacked", "subject of hacking attempts", "hackers really did try" etc. The hacker Guccifer later admitted his claim was a lie. None are supported by the later reports from Trump's FBI in 2018 and the Republican Senate in 2019. Gammanu continues to lie and ignore the facts to save face. Truly pathetic. If he had a shred of integrity, he would admit his claim has never been proven.

Nice find LDK

>...unsecured server which we know to have been hacked and repeatedly accessed by our enemies > ^ It's common knowledge, just Google it you lazy bastard All gammanu needs to do is provide a link showing evidence of his claim above, which he double-downed on. Otherwise, he'll be known as a right wing liar on TUSCL.

^ ha good one I approve as well

Judging from recent posts, nothing that gammanu or mark post is to be believed. They have reverted to the slimy far right wing strategy of posting false information without substantiation, and seeing how long it "sticks". The Trump defenders are on their heels and getting desperate.

As someone in the center-left lane of politics, this trans stuff is boggling and certainly not in my top 20 list of important issues. My best guess is there have been various pockets of activism on the left, that the right magnified into some big issue for the entire country, and the tide of political correctness has allowed it to progress farther in some cases than it should. Letting "women" who used to be men compete against biological women is crazy. It's hard to tell the real scale of the issue though, with Fox News finding some new trans story to run on their front page every week, in a country of 330 million.

Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Lois Lerner - Mark I had to do some googling on those names to get their stories straight. Turns out the first two were Trump appointees or hires, that later became critical of him, like countless other Trump appointees did. Lerner never worked under Trump. As expected, the notion from Mark and gammanu that Obama carryovers obstructed right wing objectives and worked to expand government under Trump is all right wing horseshit, if these are the best examples they got.

The cabinet level, and (to a lesser extent) other positions the President controls, run things and determine policy. mark and gammanu would have us believe there were still lower-level staffers in these departments, carry-overs from Obama, that continued to expand government, further left wing objectives and obstruct right wing objectives, despite reporting into Trump-appointed, Republican leadership. And somehow, Trump was unable to stop it. Care to share a couple of examples?

Actually, Trump cleaned house and made his own appointments, just like every President does. The idea that only Democrats staff the government to their liking, and that most of Obama's appointees are still there, is laughable. This example of right wing misinformation gets a "pants on fire" rating. IRS- Charles Paul Rettig, appointed by Trump in 2018 FBI- Christopher Wray, appointed by Trump in 2017 DOJ- Jeff Sessions, appointed by Trump in 2017 DOJ- William Barr, appointed by Trump in 2019 CIA- Mike Pompeo, appointed by Trump in 2017 CIA- Gina Haspel, appointed by Trump in 2018 SOS- Rex Tillerson, appointed by Trump in 2017 SOS- Mike Pompeo, appointed by Trump in 2019 DOD- Jim Mattis, appointed by Trump in 2017 DOD- Mark T. Esper, appointed by Trump in 2019

Tetradon, this thread was #bait, you weren't supposed to reply to it lol

Trump is where he is because of his giant ego. And because he learned from his casino and other businesses that you can sell a dream to some people and they will buy into it hook, line and sinker. Despite solid evidence against him in the indictment, he's got some of his followers believing that it's all about government corruption, for which there is no evidence in relation to this indictment. And now he's fundraising off his followers yet again.

When there is compelling evidence, authenticated by credible sources, then I'll believe it and support an indictment based on the seriousness of the offense. Until then, it's all "more right wing bullshit". Just like the Hillary Clinton emails which the right wing is now reviving and peddling as comparable to Trump's crimes, which is complete bullshit intended to manipulate MAGA voters.

Trump is toast. The indictment is very compelling. It's not just that he kept confidential documents after leaving office. He was given multiple opportunities to return them, which would likely have avoided this outcome had he complied. But he didn't. Instead, he repeatedly evaded, stalled and obstructed efforts to have them returned. Basically, he gave the justice system a big middle figure, which isn't very smart. Now we learn there were national defense secrets involved, with information that could have harmed our troops and our country had it got into the wrong hands. He knew they were classified and sensitive, and still lied and obstructed efforts to return them. As the saying goes, "The cover up is worse than the crime".
