Michael Avenatti Is The Democrat We Have Been Waiting For
From refusing to unequivocally endorse Medicare For All to promising to find common ground with Donald Trump, the Democrats have had a very hard time convincing their base they mean business when it comes to rescuing American democracy from the grips of a madman.
This theme has been hammered home by the likes of Bill Maher and Michael Moore, who have been pleading with Democrats to find their voice and, you know, fight. It isn't good enough to denounce Trumpism, and it isn't good enough to offer piecemeal solutions to systemic problems facing the country. There must be full scale resistance to Donald Trump and his gang of thugs in the White House, and there must be a bold alternative to the horseshit policies Republicans have been ramming down the public's throat for decades.
To rally the troops around these basic principles, the left is in dire need of fighters -- men and women who are unafraid to tell Republicans to go fuck themselves and do whatever is necessary to win. And that is why I believe Stormy Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti is the Democrat we have all been waiting for.
Sure, he's a bit of an ambulance chaser and a shameless self promoting blowhard, but my God does the man fight. From battering Tucker Carlson on his own show to humiliating Rudy Giuliani on Twitter, Avenatti relishes going to war with Republicans. And he is very, very good at it.
Take for example, his recently issued threat to anyone attempting to discredit a new accuser of Brett Kavanaugh. Speaking to Chris Cuomo last night on CNN, Avenatti claimed the new victim he is representing, who apparently had security clearances issued by the federal government, will speak out in the next two days. He issued a chilling warning to the president, saying "So let this be a warning to Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh and other surrogates on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Be very, very careful if you launch some smear campaign against my client because you will ultimately be shown to be a fraud.”
Avenatti also reminded viewers that so far, he has consistently delivered on his promises.
"Let me just be really clear about this," he said. "Anyone who has been paying attention over the last six or seven months, they know that I do not traffic in rumor and nonsense. I state facts and I have evidence to back it up."
You might not want to have Michael Avenatti round for dinner, but you'd definitely want him representing you in court. Or in this case, committed to bringing down a morally bankrupt megalomaniac who has no business being in the White House. Avenatti is not directly comparable to Trump, but it is clear he is comfortable swimming in the same murky waters the president bathes in. He has no problem fighting Trump and the unscrupulous Republicans supporting him on their own terms. And for the most part, he gets the better of them -- a rarity for Democrats who are too often afraid to fight fire with fire.
"Buckle up, buttercup" Avenatti told Rudy Giuliani after Michael Cohen agreed to flip on Trump.
More of this, please. Much more.

One of the things the Trump "phenomenon" has done has made instant presidential contenders out of a Michael Avenatti.
I have my doubts, but he is right about the Democrats needing to fight back against the right wing bamboozling , corruption , and racism.
Right now there is a big part for Avenatti to play. Hopefully he won't be as needed by the time the 2020 presidential election gets going.
I've got the exact same reaction. I love Avenatti's attitude and his strategy but that's not the same as being a good politician who could be effective in office. Trump himself is absolute proof of that. Plus we know nothing about what policy positions Avenatti holds, if any. But there's no doubt that he's a very, very smart guy who's fighting on the right side (at least right now).
On a side note I wonder what ever happened to the corrupt lawyer who previously represented Daniels while secretly actually working for Trump. What was his name?
I wouldn't worry about his inexperience. I'm sure that, as President, Avenatti would not pretend to be a foreign policy expert, or an economics whiz. He would hire, decent, law abiding, experienced people to help him, he would LISTEN to them, and Avenatti has the most important trait of all. He's a decent, moral person who cares about right and wrong, unlike almost EVERY Republican.
AVENATTI FOR PRESIDENT!!
Your new hero is a porn lawyer? Democrats must be so proud....
Better a 'porn lawyer,' which he is not--than a 'porn banger,' which is the Trump.
I would love to see him debate Trump. I think it would be funny and he would take Trump apart.
"The democrat" democrats were waiting for has already been there and the democrats stood by, said and did nothing while the GOP assailed his character and permitted 'Birtherism' to breathe.
So, you have been waiting on a Democrat that is easily fooled by 4Chan? At least that is what I am hearing. His so-called 3rd witness was actually a prank by 4Chan, from what I am hearing, and caused him to take his Twitter account private and he is throwing a fit now.
AVENATTI FOR PRESIDENT!!
Hmmmmm. I for one think not, personally I have had enough of the celebrity of the week suggestions as the last couple of years have driven that notion from my mind (not that it was ever there).
The type of politicians we need no longer exist, they have been replaced by shallow, self serving small people elected by dopes like us.
Well his 48 hours are up and the great charlatan has ZERO! Now claims he was fooled. How about whoever it was he was trying to convince to make allegations?
The thing I like about how Avenatti "gets low" is that he seems to be 100% correct every time. So far he's under promised and over delivered on each of these cases.
Perhaps you're not aware that his most famous client is losing her defamation case against the president. The judge has already said the president's words are protected by the 1st amendment and observers expect him to dismiss her case.
U.S. judge suggests he may dismiss Stormy Daniels lawsuit against Trump
I doubt you actually understand the various issues in her two lawsuits but the defamation lawsuit she filed on June 6th was primarily to force discovery which would benefit her March 6th filing. That issue is moot now that Trump has proven that he repeatedly lied when he said he didn't have sex with Daniels and didn't know anything about hush money paid to her.
Plus she's already de facto won her March 6th lawsuit to rule the NDA unenforceable since Trump himself has stated that he wasn't party to the agreement. As a result her book "Full Disclosure" will be published on Oct 2nd.
Michael Avenatti Is The Democrat We Have Been Waiting For
John, its great to know Avenatti is the Democrat you've been waiting for. He owes $ 440,000 in back taxes. Avennatti agreed in December to pay $4.85 million to Jason Frank, a former lawyer at Avenatti's Newport Beach law firm, but missed the first installment of $2 million, according to a suit filed in state Superior Court in Los Angeles.
"Avenatti has no valid excuse for failing to perform this obligation," Frank's lawsuit says.
A document filed with the complaint reveals that an arbitration panel of three retired judges found in February 2017 that the firm, Eagan Avenatti, "acted with malice, oppression and fraud" by hiding its revenue numbers and failing to give copies of its tax returns to Frank, as the panel had ordered.
Avenatti's pattern of unpaid taxes has yielded millions of dollars in IRS liens over the last decade.
Yeah John, it's nice to know the Democrat you've been waiting for stiffs his former partners and doesn't pay his taxes. No wonder Democrats look up to him he's such an honorable man

Fine. We shall assume your post #10 is true. Well, at least his tax liabilities are out in the open and public knowledge.
What about the Trump's? And why is it that many---thus far---in the Trump orbit have plead or been found guilty of tax evasion, bank fraud and money laundering? You know, there is that too.
