What is interesting is how many people accuse the "other side" of hypocrisy without criticizing the original behavior of their own fellow travelers. lets take a look:
Avenatti says something incredibly misogynistic Deluded supporters: So does Trump. The response is fallacious, of course, but given the fact that our correspondents have criticized trump without criticizing the actual misogny from Thirsty Avenatti, what does that make their argument? yep, you guessed it. And that is so, even where the supporters come right out and admit that their arguments are misogynistic, like ""She should have been flattered." |

Trump is President.
Avenatti hasn't been elected to anything, or even just endorsed . I know the distinction is lost to some. |

You do know that this thread is about Avenatti, right?
And that he is posturing himself to run for President on the Democratic slate in 2020, right? say, if you don't feel that you can discuss him, please don't feel that you are obligated to post. Anything about the judgment he just got hit with, or the fact his firm is falling apart? (Every thread is not a Trump thread, golly, I know that might be a shock.) |

What I'm trying to get across is that the President should be held to a higher standard than a celebrity lawyer.
TBD seems to disagree. |

I do enjoy that Avenatti's response is to make up some total bull **** about the person he was ordered to pay committing fraud against Avenatti. What an actual fraud. |

Yep Avenatti pulled a lot of **** with his firm, quite possibly breaking the law.
Of course he has no shot at the nomination. Which makes it all the better if he takes the heat of actual contenders. |

Who here would vote for Avenatti in a primary against an unknown random selection from the phone book? Not me.
I don't vote for slimy ********. It wouldn't solve our current problem. But watching him rile up the other side? Now I know why they enjoy it so much. They just ****** up and voted for the entertainment by accident. Ouch. |

In July, Eagan Avenatti paid the monthly rent of $52,235, but the check bounced, according to the landlord.

Avenatti political star, if ever he really had one, is sinking fast.
I enjoy him giving Trump a bad time, but would never want him in the White House. He seems a classic of the kind of guy who gives lawyers their bad reputation. |

Notable right wing publication (lol!), The Daily Beast rips thirsty a new one:
Big Loss for Michael Avenatti as Judge Orders Him to Pay Up $4.85 Million A day after The Daily Beast revealed that Avenatti and his former companies owe millions in unpaid taxes and judgments, a judge orders the lawyer to pay $4.85M to former colleague. |

I note that Avenatti tried to fraudulently remove the eviction suit to Federal Court, what a scumbag.

Could you point me to the Michael Cohen thread?
I think this one is done. |

Seriously though, what are we doing to each other?
When did we suddenly expect lawyers and politicians to NOT be scumbags? |

Weird how so few people outside of GOP fever dreams have ever thought of this guy as anything other than a playful foil to the **** heel that the GOP accidentally let into office.
We didn't hitch our wagon to this "star" because all along he was just the entertainment. He gets under your skin and makes you scratch that itch, but for life of me I can't understand why you give him so much space in your head. You should be charging rent at this point. |

Golly, i see your confusion, you think I am the leader of the Iowa Democratic party that gave Thirsty the top billing in an event that leads up to the Iowa primaries.
Full disclosure: that wasn't me that was the leader of the Iowa Democrat Party. Not sure how you got that so wrong, of course y'all are busy running as far and as fast away from this ******* mutt as you can. Should have listened to me earlier when I pegged this runt as a next level democrat... errr... scumbag. |

We've known for months that Avenatti used dubious tactics to avoid paying a former partner. It was pretty clear that he just didn't have the money.
Hence my constant reminder that Avenatti would never be a credible candidate. But please, keep bashing him, if it makes you feel any better. |

weird, you think that defending based on "old news" is better?
It isn't. He got evicted TODAY; TODAY he falsely claimed that the person that he defrauded, defrauded him. He did that today. And, yeah, I am going to continue bashing the scumbag. The keynote speaker at the Iowa democrat campaign event.... |

I've never defended Avenatti.
TBD, this is getting eerily similar to your China Atheist thread, accusing everyone of supporting someone/something that no one does. But please, keep attacking the target no one cares about. |

What I'm saying is that the election markets have long priced in Avenatti's legal and financial troubles and therefore dismissed him for 2020.
You are correct that on the surface, the man who delivered Cohen and as a result others to Mueller on a platter should be a hero of Democrats. But most on the left have long seen him as the showman he is, and don't want him as politician. Maybe it's time for Clifford to drop him, too. |

HAHAHA! Wait wait wait, wait! You are not defending Avenatti, but you are claiming that HE delivered Cohen to the Special Prosecutor who raided Cohen’s office?
I am equal parts curious about how you are not defending the scumbag, while at the same time repeating his absolutely idiotic lie that he took down Cohen. Walk us through that will ya? |
