Horrible speech. Lots of threats and talking about his shitty destructive foreign policy.

Do you know the USA gives out more in foreign aid than it receives? SO UNFAIR

Trump must really despise Avenatti, he's on a crusade against this administration :lol:

Doing some impressive work! 8-)


Or he was duped by 4ch*n: https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/09 ... h-accuser/

He was either duped or is deliberately sitting on bringing the third accuser forward to tactically cause pressure for a delay to Friday's vote.

Avenatti is a grandstanding wannabe schiester using liberal hate to further his own political goals.

Until he brings forward proof he's hurting the cause rather than supporting it.

I follow his Twitter, he's tweeted about that:
I was just forced to make my account private because the bots and Trump trolls are out in full force due to my representation re Kavanaugh. I will change this back as soon as I am able.

Here is a sampling of emails sent to me over the last 24 hrs (some screenshots were taken yesterday). Trump and Kavanaugh must be so proud. Every time I receive emails like this, it fuels us more - we double our resolve. We will not stop until the truth is known.

[lots of bile from 4ch*n]

This is what it has come to now, people like Bill Mitchell creating fake tweets and trying to incite people to hack and attack me. Bill Mitchell is a disgrace and a fraud.

There is a rumor being floated that I was "duped" or "pranked" by a 4ch*n user re Kavanaugh. I have received multiple inquiries about it. This is completely false. It never happened; it is a total fabrication. None of it is true. The right must be very worried. They should be.

Nothing has changed. Our plan has been consistent since this weekend. We surfaced the allegations before the client was ready to reveal her identify in order to give the committee and public a heads up.

Let me be clear: We will disclose the client’s name and accusations only when SHE is ready and we have adequate security measures in place. And not a moment before that. It is her choice and hers alone as to when to surface bc it is her life. We expect it within the next 36 hrs.

The right is spreading a lot of lies.

He's actually done good though, from the Michael Cohen stuff to working to reunite immigrant children separated from their families.

Are there any other crimes where “the victim was drunk” is used as a get out of jail free card?

“Sir, we appreciate that your house was burgled, but you were at the pub so…..”

“We found a body but tests showed that they had drank 3 pints so this is obviously not a murder”

“Your honour, this case needs to be thrown out of court, the accused may well have pretended to be a Nigerian Prince and asked for bank details, but we think that the so called ‘victim’ had a glass of wine before checking their emails”

So, Avenatti's client has come forwards with her name and claims and...it's pretty, pretty strawberry floating bad

The GOP also announced they're pushing ahead with the first confirmation vote on Thursday, one day after Ford is due to testify.

It's almost like...they're desperately trying to rush this through before more gooseberry fool like this comes out. Weird.

Surely they're going to have to deal with these accusations properly and forget about voting him in on Friday.

I suppose the biggest tell was when the GOP did not have Mark Judge come out under oath and deny the initial allegation as the other person in the room. Instead he was hiding out by the sea. It all makes more sense now the "sworn affidavit" says they were both in cahoots all along.

It’s fine, it’s not like it’s a lifetime appointment....
