Silly thread but Michael Avenatti gives me LIFE!

[nolabear]

I know he’s got his flaws but I have laughed more at his fearless baiting of that fool who hijacked our administration than I have anything else in this entire nightmare.

You GO, Buddy!

[Kali]

1. he's a pretty good troll fighter

and since that is basically all tinyhands is...

[Ilsa]

16. That's what I like about Avenatti!

He's willing to stoop a little lower to troll IQ45 in his territory. He's a fighter. Good for "Stormy"!

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Hell yes

[dameatball]

3. Agreed. Harder for the bad guys to fight on multiple fronts.

The guy seems to really know how to get under their skin as well.

[BigmanPigman]

26. Today he told MSNBC that he doesn't see the moron finishing his term.

I don't want to see the moron finish the month!

[poboy2]

4. Avenatti on TV equals T getting his ass KICKED. Why some posters are jealous of him I do not know.

[poboy2]

5. Second thought, maybe there's overlap w/the pearl clutching crowd. -nt

[procon]

6. And -- as if we needed more excuses - LOL -- he's not bad looking either! nt

[nolabear]

17. I wasnt going to bring that up. 😄

Stephanie Miller even admits to having a big ol’ thing for him.

[calimary]

28. I bet his looks, smarts, and articulate way of speaking will earn him his own TV show.

[Solly Mack]

7. He's fun to watch.

Very good at what he does.

[Lisa0825]

8. And to top it all off, he is also HOT, so

he's easy on the eyes when he's all over the networks!

[hlthe2b]

9. yup... easy on the eyes, but even better for his brains!

[mopinko]

10. and here i thought i was gonna have to be the one to say that.

so very hot.

cant help but hold center stage. and brings the shit.

[Lisa0825]

24. I said on Twitter that his cheekbones should have their own Twitter acct.

Also his jawline.

[smirkymonkey]

30. Trump must be insanely jealous of him. He is everything that Trump is not and he's got him by

the balls. I just love the way he taunts him.

[rainin]

11. I keep missing him. Why won't he post his appearances on FB or Twitter in advance?..

I never want to miss him.

[HipChick]

13. That would be great...I can't catch enough of him...

[rainin]

15. Did you see this one? Bam!!!!!

12. I have a kinda love / hate relationship with him

And really both love and hate are huge exaggerations of how I feel.

I think he's great in many ways, but I also recognize that at the heart of this, no matter how worthy the legal issues (and I have some doubts about that), he is a first-class showman, and sometimes his hucksterism gets a little overly so to me. Or even a lot overly so.

BUT, he's extremely competent, extremely disciplined, and I love the way he handles himself in an interview. Very even-handed, professional, well-spoken, reasonable, etc.

I also like the way he sticks up for Stormy Daniels at a personal level. That speaks well of him to me.

So -- I'm of two minds on the guy but definitely eager to see more.

[nolabear]

19. Thats why I mentioned flaws. But Id hate to be on his bad side.

And I expect that if you can go toe to toe with him and he’s on your side it’s quite the ride.

[maddiemom]

21. He's REALLY just what is needed to counteract Trump.

More and more behavior that's "a little over the top" needs to catch on with those who have to deal with the Orange One.

[RandomAccess]

25. Oh, no argument there. Whatsoever.

In fact, if that's the question, he's just about perfect. Doesn't mind getting his hands dirty, but still highly principled, articulate, firm, hard driving and unbending. Yup, perfect.

[pnwmom]

14. Isn't it funny? Stormy's the "porn star" --

but the lawyer is the one everyone thinks is HOT!

And part of the reason is that he looks so damn smart. That expression of his, even when he's standing by her side at a press conference. It's like he's scanning the whole scene, taking everything in. Not letting anything get by.

[nolabear]

20. Its a libtard thing. We know smart is hot.

[malaise]

18. He really throws some serious bait

and then eggs him on

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. We can follow his wit on Twitter here....

see: https://twitter.com/MichaelAvenatti

The best line I've seen so far: "I'm going to make a prediction now: I do not think the President will serve out his term".

...... ...........

[flibbitygiblets]

23. My favorite thing about him is that he gets under Dolt45's skin bigly

He knows a con and a bully when he sees one, and he's more than up for the challenge--he's actually enjoying it.

Plus he's standing up for the type of woman (those in the sexuality biz) who normally get belittled, taken advantage of, and not taken seriously by even the best of us. It's another form of sexism that's totally condoned by puritanical, pearl-clutching Americans, and it needs to stop. Stormy's a human being, a mom with an unusual job that the vast majority of men (and many women) are fine with in private, and then ostracize the very women whose product they so enjoy (albeit in secret). It's a bullshit double standard made so much worse because sex work is mostly illegal in the US.

[BobTheSubgenius]

27. It's about the best entertainment we can hope for these days.

He is, as you say, both hilarious and fearless...and his contributions to the common weal, as it were, more the cause along a little bit more. He quite likel won't ever shake the earth, but incremental progress is still progress.

[FM123]

29. I love how he just "goes there"

[gibraltar72]

31. Professional race car driver

He's not afraid to go in deep. He has actually been on the podium in American LeMans series. Also he sued the company that stole the Apprentice concept and won credits and money for his client.

[nolabear]

34. Read about that Apprentice theft. They've got history!

[samnsara]

32. WHEW!

[gademocrat7]

33. He has rattled the orange buffoon.

I admire his intelligence and his toughness.
