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

    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.

      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 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.

    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.

      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.

      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?
