Its not right to equate porn stars and criminals. Porn Stars are much more upstanding people than Donald Trump.

Convicted felon, rapist and second term loser Donald j trump.

Don't forget twice impeached!

But soon to be two times president of the us.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

You want a felon, rapist and pedophile as president? What's wrong with you?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I mean haha okay, but there's nothing wrong with being a porn star, and this almost kinda equates sex work with being a rapist. There's nothing wrong with sex work. Stormy Daniels has nothing to be ashamed of. Like yes, I wish every media outlet wasn't owned by pro-Trump billionaires, I wish they would drag him through all the shit he deserves, but that's nothing to do with her profession, either.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I don't think anyone is saying it is a problem. I am pretty sure they know a certain shrinking group of conservatives view it as terrible dirty deviancy and they are using that to turn them against voting for trump...or at least get them to turn into the left's version of the "I'm not voting for genocide Joe" spoiler voter. Both sides are trying to make as many spoilers as they can and the dumber voters fall for it every time.

Puritans would likely call her a witch and burn her on a stake or drown her in a lake.

One’s a respectable position and the other is a crime

CNN and NBC are still running headlines “Democrats doomed” “Biden Campaign in crisis” while being absolutely silent that the republican nominee is a convicted insurrectionist, rapist, and fraudster who has an army of corrupt judges to suppress cases where is about to be found guilty of treason.

BotH SiDEs, YaLL!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I mean when the convictions happened they were running those headlines, problem is the news moves on and right now its focused on Biden and his performance at the debate, instead of you know focusing on the horrific lies and policies Trump talked about during the debate.

Because the media is complicit in the rise of Voldemort. He gets them more clicks and views.

Underrated part of the Idiocracy plot

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Shouldn't that be convicted rapist Donald Trump?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

Convicted Felon and civilly convicted rapist.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The first time I saw this meme, the main counterargument I saw was that he wasn't actually convicted so it would be biased for media to call him a rapist. I'm glad the legal system was able to put that excuse to rest.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

It was (generally, some of them still do this shit) put to rest when the judge in the case said, "no, he's a rapist."

Who tf reads this comment and downvotes? Like, where is the lie! Edgy-ass Lemmings, I swear to god.

Because her persona as Stormy Daniels is a stage name she specifically uses for porn and live performances at clubs.

She has a civilian identity she's mostly kept out of it because she has high society hobbies like equestrian sports where being introduced under the name everyone associates with a lurid presidential scandal could lead to more than a little awkwardness.

Pornstar Stormy Daniels is basically her version of The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

This is an answer but not likely The answer

I’ll bet Monica Lewinsky wishes she had a porn name too, like… “Pete jones”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Monica Lewinsky wasn't doing porn, though, she was being pressured into sex.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Prince was also a stage name. Wouldn't Hannah Montana be a a better comparison?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I mean it's not like it's an alter-ego like Hannah Montana was, she just performs under a different name than she goes about her day and personal funzies in.

I prefer to call him "Beloved friend of Jeffrey Epstein"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

I think there's room for both. "Rapist Donald Trump, beloved friend of Jeffrey Epstein."

These 24-hour news networks need to fill time, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Bosom buddy of Jeffrey "did not kill himself" Epstein

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Pedophile rapist Donald trump

Because one is an occupation and the other is a hobby. He is frequently referred to as President or Former President Donald Trump.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The thought of being a rapist as a hobby is funny. Like, oh, just a weekend murderer, no biggie!

Just blowin’ off steam after a rough week at work

Cheating so much is actually kinda hard.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

And yet a judge never clarified that Stormy Daniels is, in fact, a porn star.

That should count for something, shouldn't it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

They say "former president trump"...it was their careers.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)
