Still don't see Avenatti "screaming", and he's been awfully quiet of late.

This is one major problem with "Avenattism" or Trumpism for that matter, or extreme fighter personalities of any kind, this is why I don't think it's a good thing: the hatred quotient is ramped for those that don't happen to like the personality. While it is usually a minority that reacts this way, the intensity of the anger affects the whole zeitgeist:

I think this goes for all sides. It's not good for those of us (probably a majority) who dislike Trump intensely to have him as president in our face all the time, it's not good for our mental health. "In yo face" style is basically high blood pressure misery 24/7. A few rare people thrive on it and the rest around them suffer the consequences.

Especially in such a position as president of the U.S. It's supposed to have a calming effect on the entire world. Leader doesn't mean screamer. Conversely, a body like the House of Representatives or a lower house in Parliament is created for the screamer types, to fight it out there. Not surprising that these are also the government entities that have the lowest approval ratings and the reason many people hate "politicians" (and "lawyers" for that matter)

Till that day, then.

I gave you my opinion and we will both have to wait for the lack of evidence that it is an accurate report. It's a bit difficult for me to keep up with multiple comment thread attacks and demands but I'll remember you when any new news about this bogus report are published.

Still waiting for that

Still waiting for that evidence that the report is false.

No, they're not selling to a community sympathetic to BLM. They're trying to sell a caricature of who white people think black people are; how they think and speak. It's really too bizarrely awful to take seriously - especially when you consider the super PAC behind it is "Black Americans for the President's Agenda" based out of (this hurts) NC.

I'm almost sorry I'm adding to anyone's knowledge of this absurd outfit.

This one boggles the mind. I don't know what you would call it. It's obviously a jaw-dropping attempt to sell Kavanaugh and the GOP to a community sympathetic to " Black Lives Matter":

Apparently it's crunch time, so: surprise! No "Avenattism" here nor anything like it. Rather, this guy has clearly been instructed on which demographic he needs to court and he is (for today) trying his bestest:

I don't understand how

PeraclesPlease — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 06:09:00 +0000

In reply to Well, honestly I didn't write

I don't understand how "Avenatti is like Trump".

Avenatti is calm and articulate, he doesn't talk over people and interrupt, he doesn't insult women and minorities, he's a skilled lawyer, he's thorough, he's a self-made man with a track record of real trial successes, he does what he says he's going to do, he doesn't blatantly lie continuously, he doesn't change what he said he said even when filmed, he has no problem putting someone else (his clients) first in front of the camera or wait his turn at a roundtable, he comes across as mainly polite, I don't see him excessively bragging, I don't see him talking about his personal life or making disgusting comments about his daughters, I don't see him surrounding himself with criminals and sycophants.

And as a lawyer, he comes across as much more professional and truthful and ethical than Cohen, Giuliani, Dershowitz and Trump's other lawyers.

So I simply don't get the contention. Saying he'll fight back against Trump doesn't make him "just like Trump" - it's 1 piece, 1 strategy. And he notes that people like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz and eb Bush just took Trump's insults and came away bruised and humiliated, so it's not even a solid working strategy to stay passive and "play nice".

Regarding "The Spectacle", Avanatti has a client who was wronged by the President, and he's simply done his job - combatting the lies that Cohen & Trump were telling, forcing evidence seizure, and other tactics directly related to his client. That he went on TV is simply part of a PR element to defending a client *WHO'S BEING ATTACKED IN THE MEDIA*. Most of the Democrats are very poor at handling PR, as Elizabeth Warren and Eric Holder just showed this week. (Hillary's timing to respond to "abuse of power" was probably poor as well - but Avenatti's approach wouldn't have been to just shut up - it would have been to tenaciously blow the issue open so they had to listen to the answer - 2 horny people in an office is not by itself "abuse of power" even if one is the President, and it's far from the abusive 1-sided relationships that #MeToo was founded to expose.

The problem here is not Avenatti's - it's the relationship between the lazy corrupt media organizations and these political powers. Talking reasonable gets you nowhere, swallowed up in the mush - re-watch "Network".

[I will say Stormy's description of Trump's penis was gratuitous and unhelpful and one kind of shaming that cuts against being progressive, but this is more her schtick and profession, & not Avenatti's - and of course it's why half the people will buy her book]
