It's been crickets on leftist hero Michael Avenatti
It's been crickets on leftist hero Michael Avenatti
Its interesting to note that most on the left thought that Michael Avenatti was a great guy when he was harassing the POTUS and a SCOTUS nominee unjustly. Hell, it wasn't that long ago that he was showing up in presidential polling! Now that it cannot be denied that he is nothing more than an extortionist, I don't see lefties running out to denounce him.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

I'd pay Stormy Daniels $20 for a lap dance.

Ewwwww
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Matt, you idolize a casual member of the American white supremacist movement without any pause or ethical dilemma. Doesn't that sort of equal thing's out when discussing Progressive activists?
Of course the big difference is anyone was found a bigot within the progressive ranks is ostracized immediately.

“Most on the left” - can you define that, please? I love how “the left” is some sort of organized group, like “mainstream media” or “ANTIFA”. Michael Avenatti was a blip on the radar screen of history and certainly a hero to some Anti-Trumpers who saw his as some sort of ... well, Anti-Trump. He was easy to find, easy to book on TV and always said something outlandish, making him the perfect cable TV guest. His many appearances upped his recognition and polling possibilities but right now, a bologna sandwich could “show up” in presidential polls depending on how the question was asked. No serious person ever took him seriously, EXCEPT “The Right” who needs an opponent so they can tell all their frightened flock what might happen to them if they actually started paying attention. (More on that later..)

No one here is more leftist than I am. If you'd care to review my posts over the past year or so, I've always said he's a slime ball.Matt wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 9:48 amIts interesting to note that most on the left thought that Michael Avenatti was a great guy when he was harassing the POTUS and a SCOTUS nominee unjustly.

I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

The Republican Party is the party of whiny victims with no ideas and no desire for solutions... oh and tax cuts...
Currently the only ideas are coming from the Democratic side of the aisle... the Republican side is simply reacting to everything with fake outrage, flailing about, scaring their base into voting for them and tax cuts.

Unless it involves a Jew.

Re: It's been crickets on leftist hero Michael Avenatti
I'll be happy to answer this without playing the "whatabout???" game, straight from the keyboard of someone on the so-called "left" (like it's some kind of naughty word or something).
Dude's an asshole. Plain. And. Simple. Here we watched him on Bill Maher awhile back and he was flapping his jaws and yapping that they were gonna bring Trump down! They had the goods and it was just a matter of time!
And now look at him. I keep thinking of that meme that says "congratulations. You played yourself". I'm starting to wonder if this is just a thing people with power and a voice do. I'm really starting to look at things not as left and right, but more as powerful and powerless. So as far as this guy goes, asshole is as asshole does. Thought you were shit hot, making your rounds on TV, all the while you had your hand in the cookie jar, too.

Has Rep. Ilhan Omar been ostracized? She has repeatedly shown bigotry and anti-Semitism,
The left seems quite comfortable with religious bigotry in general.

Re: It's been crickets on leftist hero Michael Avenatti
I would need to see those conversations. The right media has a particular fondness for taking things out of context and blowing them up into something completely different. In other words, I'm skeptical that what she has said was contextually bigotry.

Re: It's been crickets on leftist hero Michael Avenatti
As soon as Stephanie’s lawyer said he was considering running for president it became clear as crystal that he was a head case - like his obvious nemesis, Trump.
Before that the media was already becoming leary of the guy. Certainly by the time it came out that he and Scaramucci were being considered for starring roles in a reality show.
There were also stories - if I remember correctly - that Avenatti had abused his wife.
I feel slightly sorry for Stephanie because he used her as a way to promote himself. But she learned that herself finally - and said goodbye. Maybe it was a mutual use.
At this point Avenatti could almost pass (psychologically) for Trump. But without the loyal enabling family and “always excuse him” fan base. When you’re around guys who constantly throw caution to the wind and do or say things that place them onto jeopardy - seemingly because they’re driven to do so - that’s a head case. Look out.
