It related to the discussion in the thread at the time - people were talking about the Starbucks manager's 911 call and he jokingly facetiously speculated how the call actually went down (he didn't claim he was reporting what an anonymous friend told him).

We’ll just skip over the constant lies, crying, hypocrisy, and general awfulness of his act that we get on a weekly basis. It's so freaking hypocritical to cherry pick specific actions by Dem supporters as proving the awfulness of the party but, when presented with daily evidence of the leader of the GOP outright lying, being disrespectful to Americans and others across the globe, numerous evidence of corruption and tax fraud and just generally behaving like a 6-year old would and it's brushed off like none of it matters. It only matters when the other side does it. And, if they acknowledge their own crappy behaviour they excuse it in the next breathe with a "whataboutism." It was horribly bad when a Den did something but when a Repub does it to a worse degree later it's okay cause "whatabouts." And the dolts lap it up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squistion 8,966 Report post Posted October 13, 2018 I am not sure Avenatti's message of fighting fire with fire and engaging in the same tactics as Republicans will resonate with Democratic voters. We will see... Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti 8m8 minutes ago “Establishment” kinder gentler Dems like @PattiSolisDoyle are the problem. They are why we continue to get beat and why we are presently in a fight for the survival of this republic. Their weak approaches are why we lost 2000, lost 2016, never got Garland a vote, etc. etc. #Basta We must realize that the other side has no interest in playing nice. They laugh at approaches like those of @PattiSolisDoyle because they ensure that Rs will continue to prevail and destroy what makes this country America.

Rove! 1,513 Report post Posted October 22, 2018 Ouch Less than an hour after his defeat in the Los Angeles lawsuit, the firm, Eagan Avenatti, suffered another setback at a trial in Santa Ana: The Irvine Co. won a court order evicting Avenatti and his staff from their suite at the Fashion Island mall for failing to pay the last four months of rent. The twin blows came as Avenatti was heading to New Hampshire for his third visit to the state that kicks off the 2020 presidential primaries. He is exploring a run for the Democratic nomination, and his troubled financial history could emerge as a significant campaign issue if he joins the race. http://www.nydailynews.com/la-na-pol-avenatti-eviction-20181022-story.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squistion 8,966 Report post Posted October 25, 2018 Here is a different take on this: Palmer Report @PalmerReport 1h1 hour ago Chuck Grassley just screwed up BADLY by referring Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick to the DOJ/FBI for criminal investigation on imaginary charges. Trump & GOP tried desperately to keep FBI from talking to Swetnick for a reason. Now it’ll happen. Grassley is a moron. Not only will Chuck Grassley fail in his efforts to punish Avenatti and Swetnick, he’s bringing the Brett Kavanaugh sex assault scandal back into focus. If Dems win House, this’ll make it easier for them to take Kavanaugh down. Grassley is unwittingly laying groundwork for them. Chuck Grassley is still sore because he didn’t get to be king of his committee during the hearings. He’s a very petty and very unintelligent man who’s foolishly seeking revenge, without understanding what he’s just set in motion. I love stupid criminals. Side note: Chuck Grassley is doing this just BEFORE the midterms, which suggests he’s not all that confident his party will still have majority control after the midterms. In other words, go vote! https://twitter.com/PalmerReport/status/1055515979407605761 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He just opened up Pandora’s box as it relates to Justice Kavanaugh’s conduct. It is Christmas in October! It is ironic that Senator Grassley now is interested in investigations. He didn’t care when it came to putting a man on the SCOTUS for life. We welcome the investigation as now we can finally get to the bottom of Judge Kavanaugh’s lies and conduct.

The Indestructible 2,891 Report post Posted October 25, 2018 Avenatti is right that a white male voice is still the loudest for a portion of the population, but I disagree that the Ds are better served by pushing a white male. There are 2 reasons why I don't think his quote matters much. First, his role won't change. He was never a serious contender, but is at his best when serving as the aggressive response to Trump from the left. Avenatti will continue to push those buttons, which is why I hope he runs. Second, Grassley just reignited the whole Kavanaugh debate, which will give Avenatti another chance at the podium. Dumb move by Grassley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
