Part of charismatic dictators has always been to distract and hypnotize their followers to believe all of their bullshit. It is an old playbook and sadly we are watching our country being pulled apart and hopefully not destroyed by this lunatic in power now. Very sad to watch all that is happening now.
Pornstars who are Republican POS.

Those are the 2 main ones. I’ll add more as I discover. I actually think Hatler is an ignorant idiot.
ADDED: It’s just porn and you can watch anybody you want. However, I’d refuse to pay $.01 to any porn site or onlyfans that featured these two idiots.

This post is for anyone interested in the New York City race for mayor. Today is Primary Day and I just got home from voting. It is a very interesting election to determine the Democratic candidate in November. Traditionally in New York City, whoever wins the Democratic primary wins the race, but this is not a traditional year. Incumbent mayor Eric Adams who was up on federal charges for taking bribes from the Turkish government had the charges dropped by the Trump administration when he agreed to work with ICE agents and so he lost all support by Democrats. He is not on the ballot today but will run as an independent.
Former governor Andrew Cuomo who resigned with sexual harassment charges by former female colleagues and employees pending is the leading candidate but Socialist-Democrat Assembly member Zohran Mamdani, who has the support of young people and has been enforced by Senator Bernie Sanders and AOC has closed the gap and some projections show him winning the race when the rank choice voting is revealed next week.
This is how the rank choice voting works:
“In New York City’s version, voters get to rank up to five candidates, from first to last, on the ballot.
If one candidate is the first choice of a majority of voters — more than 50% — that person wins the race outright, just like in a traditional election.
If nobody hits that threshold, ranked choice analysis kicks in.
Vote tabulation is done by computer in rounds. After the first round, the candidate in last place — the candidate ranked No. 1 by the fewest amount of people — is eliminated. The computer then looks at the ballots cast by people who ranked that candidate first, to see who they ranked second. Those people’s votes are then redistributed to their second choices.
That process then repeats. As more candidates are eliminated, voters’ third, fourth and even fifth choices could potentially come into play.
Here is a simulation of how the voting may go, The first candidate to get 50% of the votes in any round wins the nomination.
Rounds continue until there are only two candidates left. The one with the most votes wins.”
I voted for Cuomo. Stringer, Landers and Adrienne Adams because Mandami is polarizing and could lead moderate voters to vote for Adams or the Republican Curtis Sliwa who supports Trump. It will be an interesting election today, next week and in November.

Mamdani Wins Stunning Upset in Democratic Primary as Cuomo Concedes Race
The democratic socialist state Assembly member from Queens is on track to be the Democratic nominee for mayor in a ranked-choice election.———————————————————————-
Zohran Mamdani did not receive the required 50% of the total votes required to be officially the Democratic nominee, he received approximately 44% with Cuomo getting 36% but third place choice Brad Lander with 11% and he aligned with Mamdani and so his votes will mostly go to the first Socialist-Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City. It will be a wild race in the fall with Mamdani, Adams, Republican Curtis Sliwa and possibly Cuomo all on the ticket. It’s too early to project a winner but it sure has shaken up New York City politics.
