Avenatti is loving this. Both he and Stormy will get thrown out of court. He is now claiming there is eight more women that have contacted him.

The next woman Trumps sleeps with will ask him why he's got a smudged photo of his face on his arse.

The real Trump supporters I know don't give a crap about who he had affairs with. They are thrilled he is going to stack the Supreme Court with right wingers to advance their agenda. ie ending abortion.
The fact he is 'stirring things up' is a positive to them, not a negative
Yeah, i know. It's the "everything is ok bar fecking liberals, even if Trump is a fecking idiot" propaganda.

Reasons why big law firms have told me they won’t rep Trump: 1 Already repping subjects in investigation 2 He’s a “difficult” client 3 Could hurt relationships with corporate clients 4 Could hurt associate-recruiting 5 Key partner is “busy” 6 Trump attacked judge/rule of law

I called my colleague out on the Christian fundamentalist hypocrisy in supporting Trump today. We were at lunch and she was giving the “why does anyone care?” and the “what about Bill Clinton?” lines and I couldn’t take it anymore.

Hit her on the fact that it’s the Fundamentalists fault that this is “news worthy” because they constantly use their morality against Democrats whenever it is politically convenient and that the “liberal” news sources are just proving a point by showing the hypocrisy of the Christian Right.

She tried a “well it’s a lesser of two evils” to which I responded “not to your God it isn’t. All sin is equal according to Christianity. Abortion doesn’t supersede Adultery.”

She got quiet at that and other more moderate GOP voters at the lunch table agreed with me.

Avenatti had better be squeaky clean and not make a single mistake.
Yeah. Seeing the guy appear on TV he looks like he's done nothing else in his life other than participate in TV panels. Paired with the constant 'banter' tweets which imo is very uncharacteristical for a lawyer it all seems a bit odd to me. But maybe he has just a natural flair for things like that.

He was barely on TV before this. He simply seems to be out Trumping Trump at his own bombastic game of keeping people hanging to see what will happen next.

The guy apparently spends much of his time as an amateur race car driver when he isn't busy getting over 1B in settlements.

I think he's risking going a step too far and people switching off. I'm happy for him to remain hardline and on the offensive but would prefer it not to be a circus every day and it all to lose credibility.

Yes, there is a bit of oversaturation going on, but you have to look at why he is doing all of this. He is trying to goad Trump and Cohen into having to make public depositions. Once he has them there, he likely feels confident he can get them under oath at which point they will have to tell the truth then use their comments against them to legally release Stormy from the contract.

Surely that makes it all the more surprising how well he is doing.

He’s passed the bar so I think he knows a little bit.

(Enough to know Trump can’t illegally silence Stormy’s skit)

I mean he was on TV (including on 60 minutes with Anderson Cooper in 2014) as well as on local LA area tv, but obviously nothing on this scale. He reminds me a bit of Johnny Cochran during the OJ case. Great nose for how to leverage TV to his advantage on behalf of his clients.

Be careful when she may be packing heat, after following the instruction of her saviour, Lord AC (Ass Clown) Trump.

I can't remember why I joined this war.
I don’t know how to have faith in humanity anymore.
The problem is that Fox and the right wing media managed to create an alternative reality in which everything is fine. Roughly 42% of Americans live in that reality.

That being said it's not like that bubble doesn't exist on the left either, at least when it comes to the person Trump it all now focuses too much on nonsense non related to politics.

My brain can't get pregnant!
He’d be banned on here by now for all caps alone
He's just being disingenuous, divisive and outright dangerous too. The majority of Dems don't want the 2A repealed at all, more just wanting sensible gun control.

Him Tweeting this just riles up his base and causes more hatred towards anyone wanting sensible reform as Instantly Trump supporters think that really every one just wants to take their guns!

This Tweet alone shows why the demented fool is completely unfit to be President. He's disgusting and an embarrassment and I honestly believe a danger to the entire world. I don't think that is being melodramatic either.

Dear God, Kim is getting everything he wants out of this. His rule and power get legitimized, he is likely going to agree to halt nuclear enrichment owing to reduction in sanctions and re-opening trade routes to China. The nuclear bluster worked perfectly for him.

Don't think so, Kim knows very well that nuclear capabability is the best repellant you can have, and most likely a free ticket for him to reign in infinity.
