These Avenatti post have got to be trolling! [View all]

I just do not do OPs because I don't normally have anything that I think is of value. But all the post about this guy for the last 6 months is really pissing me off.

So this dude represents a porn star that Donald Trump fucked. And then in public defense of his client he goes on a twitter war with Trump and all the talking heads have him on because, you know, Porn Star. And he loves the publicity as defense lawyer do, for good reason.

So now he is representative of the Democratic Party? Total Bullshit.

I can't believe there are still so many post about him on DU, and even people here talking about him as a Democratic candidate for president? It boggles the mind.

Meanwhile, we have real public servants like Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Marcia Fudge and so many more fighting to right this totally fucked ship of state?

I for one will fight against the attempt to turn DU into a reality TV talking platform. I am going to post a version of this post on every Avenatti OP that my time allows.

I love DU because it is a group of serious thinkers talking about serious subjects.

Stop talking about this clown.

Add a spoon with this OP and one could freebase some Democratic Party descension from it. TheBlackAdder Nov 2018 #19

What if he's being falsely accused of domestic violence? Yosemito Nov 2018 #3

Not sure why all the haters. Anyone who calls out Trump is a friend of mine. nt USALiberal Nov 2018 #7

There is that. He deserves credit for dogging trump. But, running for Prez? Hoyt Nov 2018 #35

My post and discomfort with him has nothing to do with that GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #12

Most threads about him today are about the allegation Yosemito Nov 2018 #14

My beef is that the guy gets so much air time representing or positions GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #16

Who is tying YOU to the guy? No one. He is a voice against trump, a loud one, one Squinch Nov 2018 #43

Then he should go after whoever did it. But he's still got all the OTHER decisions against him. 7962 Nov 2018 #21

I totally agree. He's a complete dirtbag. Oneironaut Nov 2018 #4

Why? Because he's bald? luvtheGWN Nov 2018 #59

Defense attorney? jberryhill Nov 2018 #67

Exactly, and that will get at least an alert. n/t Hoyt Nov 2018 #36

Hoyt. You are one of the reason I love DU. GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #42

Oh well. It would put to rest the idea that he is not a Democratic figure GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #37

Lots of hair on fire hysteria over how awful it is that a two day old Squinch Nov 2018 #72

WTF. It's right there in black and white. Squinch Nov 2018 #91

I thought this site was to discuss all kinds of things. blueinredohio Nov 2018 #15

It is. And I was discussing how tying ourselves to a guy like this is a bad idea. GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #17

I beg to differ. Fuzzpope Nov 2018 #20

The dude has flirted with running for President on our ticket GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #39

So what? If he can put a campaign staff together... DonViejo Nov 2018 #44

Well of course. GulfCoast66 Nov 2018 #47

His campaign bid is DOA blue cat Nov 2018 #63

Any American can run for President. He's a Democrat, nothing stopping him from running on the Autumn Nov 2018 #74

He's not a defense lawyer. He generally represents plaintiffs in civil cases, The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2018 #85

OMG OMG OMG sheshe2 Nov 2018 #61

He's just angling for his TV show down the road. Likely on MSNBC. 7962 Nov 2018 #28

I bet he just blew his chance for that. NBC, maybe. Hoyt Nov 2018 #38

What I find really depressing jberryhill Nov 2018 #70

Avenatti is also an example of why so many people don't like lawyers. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2018 #73
