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

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 60 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

They don’t keep boxes of classified documents in their bathroom.

Shouldn't that be convicted rapist Donald Trump?

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago

Convicted Felon and civilly convicted rapist.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 11 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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 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.

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

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget twice impeached!

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But soon to be two times president of the us.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 39 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Underrated part of the Idiocracy plot

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 34 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 17 points 4 months ago

This is an answer but not likely The answer

[–] MrFappy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 6 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Deello@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 3 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.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 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.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 32 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.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 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.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 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?

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

Bosom buddy of Jeffrey "did not kill himself" Epstein

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Pedophile rapist Donald trump

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

You never bite the hand that feeds you.

[–] cornshark@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 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!

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just blowin’ off steam after a rough week at work

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

After a rough week at golf

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Cheating so much is actually kinda hard.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 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?

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

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

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because under capitalism your labor is your worth and if they can shame your labor they can shame your everything

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago
[–] Gerprimus 2 points 4 months ago

Because you're reading the wrong media.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The lady should run for Congress!
