Michael Avenatti thread

[The Great Zaganza]

It's awesome, and he was a darling for a lot of Dems...some even in this thread. Of course, revisionist history will not allow them to admit it. Got famous representing a whore, and was celebrated in the process. Typical Dem delight.

Now gets to do a decent prison stint.

Delicious.

keep telling you that story, because it's only that - Avenatti was never popular with any significant number of Dems - unlike Republicans, Dems can usually spot a showboating conman.
We only liked that one conman was getting into a fight with another conman.

Thanks for proving my point.

Thanks for proving my point.

why don't you search his forum for past posts on Avenatti to ACTUALLY prove your point?
or, as usual, should your gut feeling be proof enough for everybody?
You will certainly never find me ever approving of him.



you fell for his con just like to keep on falling for all the other grifters.
Unlike Trump, Avenatti never had a chance to get Nominated, and you only have his word that he had widespread support.

was there ever any chance of Avenatti getting elected to anything by Dems?

No.

Quoting yourself to support yourself is a bold move. Cuts out the middle man, cuts the debate in half.

Thread bump...

From: CBC Canada
...Michael Avenatti was sentenced...to 14 years in prison and ordered to pay $7 million...after admitting he cheated four of his clients out of millions of dollars. The sentence should run consecutively to the five-year prison term he is currently serving for separate convictions...

Good. That means that the 14-year sentence doesn't begin until he completes the 5-year sentence. So, 19 years in total.

Nothing upsets a fanbase more than when a hero fails them. One minute he was a darling for pursuing Trump, next he is an outcast.

Well, that's life in the fast-paced, slam-bang, live-on-the-razor's-edge, laugh-in-the-face-of-death world of junior-league politics.

You are still making unsubstantiated claims.

But that's your MOm

 

[Doubt]

Thanks for proving my point.

No, he was never popular as a figure of anything. The only reason he got any attention was because he was, supposedly, sticking it to Trump. He had nothing else in his favor.

The funny part is the demonstrated inability to grasp some simple concepts. Remember why I started this thread in the first place? It was a bright, shiny object to stop this BS from contaminating another thread where a more serious discussion was going on in the first place.

If a fish had much mental capacity it might get embarrassed if it bit on the same hook more than once.

You're the one practicing revisionist history. I liked Avenatti because he stood up against Trump. I liked that a lot.

But that doesn't mean I or many Democrats supported him for public office. In fact based on a few remarks he made on politics I wouldn't support him. He believed in lowering taxes on corporate America and the wealthy. Avenatti, never won a single election. He wasn't supported by the DNC. He talked about running in the Iowa caucus. But he didn’t do much more than talk.

When it became clear that like Trump, Avenatti was a con man he was tossed on junk pile.

What's sad about this isn't that Avenatti is being held accountable for his misdeeds, scumbags like Trump and Alex Jones haven’t been.

You need to look back at the early days of this thread. There was a LOT of love for Avenatti. Hell, there were people saying they would definitely hire him.

I went back and looked at the first few dozen posts.

The best you could say is that reaction to avenatti was mixed. The most "praise" that he seemed to get was "seems like a competent lawyer". But there seemed to be just as many posts stating "seems like a scumbag but so is Trump and you need to fight fire with fire" (or similar comments). Not exactly a universal outpouring of love and admiration for the man.

I took a trip on the Way Back Machine, too. I agree with your assessment. As things started to come out about Avenatti, condemnation followed pretty quickly. I'd say claiming there was "a lot of love" for him is more than a bit of a stretch.

I certainly didn't.
and AFAIK no one in the thread ever said they would vote for him or donate money to him.
Most of the time, people just compared him to Trump.


your standard for "love" is not very high.

It is highly enjoyable to watch how much Avenatti infuriates Trump supporters.
Since he has no chance of getting anywhere with a nomination for 2020, I fully approve of you or others wasting their time and energy railing against him.

The real reason why you are so upset about Avenatti is that he is a mirror image of Trump - only younger and better looking.

As far as I can tell using the search function, this was my first post in this thread:

http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12632854&postcount=784

It isn't pro-Avenatti in the slightest.

I think there was another thread about the whole stormy daniels thing, but I was never a member of his "fan club" and it's probably overstated how many people actually were in that club or their degree of enthusiasm about the man.

I wasn't bothered by the fact that he was Stormy Daniels' lawyer. It turned out he screwed her over too 8stole her money), just like he did to his other clients, and his business partner(s). The initial line of attack was "he is sleazy because his client is a porn star". That never bothered me. It was when other facts about him started to come to light.

I have to admit, I rather enjoy the super cuts of various pundits fawning over Avenetti ending with his sentencing.

Love for aggressively taking it to Trump is NOT NOT NOT the same as loving Avenatti. I would have probably hired him too. Avenatti was a successful attorney. What I didn’t know about Avenatti was that he was a con man and a thief.

Yes, spend time searching the thread because someone whose opinion you don't give a rats ass about typed something and you don't believe them.

You'll win 'em over any day now! Honest!

Well, according to your ethical standards, Warp, Avenatti is a failure because he didn't get away with it.

 

[Warp12]

You've just got to love it:




But yeah, no liberal support at all. Revisionist history at its best, as Dems continue to try to wash the stench from their hands.

 

[Warp12]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that Trump won't, even if convicted of something, do anywhere near the jail time of Avenatti. If any at all.

Ironic, as Avenatti was so recognized and praised for his attacks and condemnation of Trump.
