Wtf kind of logic is it to blame avenatti for kavanaugh getting confirmed?

[unblock]

The supposed logic is that there were stronger allegations against him but he brought forth a comparatively weak one and that made it look like the whole thing was a frame job.

Hillary is laughing hard somewhere. If one weak, unproven allegation made all the other allegations go away, she'd be president for life.

Kavanaugh is getting confirmed because he was always going to get confirmed. He was so crazy bad that we somehow had a small glimmer of hope, but republicans have a majority in the senate and don't care about what the majority in the country thinks.

1. I don't get it either

[Iliyah]

2. Right wing talking point.

[watoos]

26. You bet it is.

All one has to do is pay attention to the same thing being repeated across cable news and one can find the right wing narrative.

Avenatti is one of the rare Democrats who can change the narrative, who can fight Trump blow for blow in the gutter. There is a concerted effort to smear Avenatti, especially since he talked about running for president.

Go get em Michael, they are afraid of you.

[dalton99a]

3. It is divisive bullshit

[global1]

4. It's Repug & Trump Logic....

anything to discredit Avenatti - a person that has the guts to take on Trump and the Repug Party.

[rzemanfl]

5. Russian logic. They call the shots and own the Fascists. (I am no longer saying Republicans or even

Repukes).

[Greybnk48]

17. Bingo n/t

[Kingofalldems]

6. Right wing and their internet trolls working hard trashing Avenatti.

[bitterross]

24. They want us to throw him under the bus like we did Franken

The right-wing wants us to throw him under the bus the way we did Al Franken. Then they don't have to worry about him anymore. They're just trying to manipulate us again.

[WhiteTara]

7. They don't want him to get too powerful

because he's not in the club. Not that I want him as a president, but that's just my thought on their reasoning.

[MoonRiver]

11. If he could defeat Idiot I'd take him in a heartbeat.

But he wouldn't be able to get past the Dem primary, so my point is moot.

[watoos]

27. Why not?

I will vote for Avenatti in the primary, if he loses I will vote for the Democratic winner.

[eleny]

8. The right wing hates his effectiveness

They'll go after anyone who is effective against their goals. He just keeps putting one foot in front of the other.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. (OT) and that explains their 25+ year hate of Hillary

She got shit done in spite of everything they threw at her.


Oh, back on topic...

Avenatti annoys Daddy's boy Donnie because, and I have this on good authority, he effectively dispels covfefe!

[eleny]

38. yup, he's always in the ring

[FreepFryer]

9. Right wing talking point. (n/t)

[FarPoint]

10. He is the Greatest Threat to Trump Crime Family and GOP.

Mueller is also in the same league...

DU always gets negative posting/ flaimbait when an opposition Democrat becomes effective.

There are sleepers amongst us...It is a price for free discussion. .

[watoos]

28. You got it

I have seen people trash Avenatti here.

[questionseverything]

47. i wish i had faith in mueller

[Newland56]

49. This is true

I implore all of DU to ignore/disengage all divisive post.
If your unable to disengage limit your comments only to defense of all of our fighters.
We need gutter punchers, high minded idealists, purists
We need them all
Today is not the day to fight amongst ourselves
We need a united front
We must embrace our collective strength and disregard our differences
We can fight among ourselves later
This is not the time or the place
“We must indeed all hang together or most assuredly we will all hang separately”
Benjamin Franklin

[Doremus]

12. Repuke talking points that we love to buy into.

One day maybe we'll wise up but I doubt it.

[qazplm135]

13. the impotent self-loathing we on the left do

when we lose.

The right gets mad at us when they lose, we get mad at each other.

It's so tiring.

[Squinch]

14. Republican, Russian and troll logic.

[violetpastille]

15. Doing my best Ari Melber imitation:

"Don't believe the hype, its a sequel-
As an equal, can I get this through to you?

Don't (pause).Believe (pause). THE HYPE. (Meaningful look)."

/arimelber

[Thrill]

16. That's coming from the wimps who don't have the guts

To fight these people with the same toughness, they destroy Dems with.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Ignore it...BS GOP nonsense to shift the real blame.

[George II]

19. I avoided all news today, just didn't want to listen to all the "analysis" crap. Who blamed Avenatt?

[watoos]

33. C'mon man

bashing Avenatti is a top 3 right wing narrative. The reich is afraid of him, they have a full blown negative, Swift Boat campaign launched against him.

I'm happy as hell he is on our side. He has my vote, he is not perfect, but he walks the walk.

[Pathwalker]

21. Think of pretzels, and you'll understand.

It's as straight as a right winger gets.

[Jopin Klobe]

22. Wtf kind of logic is it to blame avenatti for kavanaugh getting confirmed?

... Republican ...

[RockRaven]

23. It's victim-blaming of the sort abusers foist upon the abused, or the abused take up on their own.

If only I had had dinner ready when he/she got home....
If only I hadn't made him/her angry...
If only I had worn a different outfit...
etc.

The parties deserving blame for Kavanaugh's confirmation are the Senators who voted to confirm, the POTUS who nominated him, and everyone who voted for them.

[weissmam]

25. Avenatti for president or atorney general

[EffieBlack]

29. IKR?

[vi5]

30. The logic of the same folks....

...how have been insisting for decades now that if we just play nice and be "civil" and "reach out" and don't be shrill that it will start paying dividends by bringing all of those mythical unicorns known as "undecided moderates" over to our side.

Any day now that's going to happen. After all, mealy mouthed, middle of the road moderation can never fail, it can only be failed by shrill folks or dirty hippies.

[malaise]

31. Divide and rule logic n/t

[watoos]

35. Exactly

They are afraid of him malaise. I was clicking channels and came upon bow tie boy, Tucker, on Fox, just bashing Avenatti. I could only listen for a few seconds, but I was smiling the whole time.

[dlk]

32. Russian Trolls?

[watoos]

37. Russian trolls and the GOP are one and the same.

Of course Russian trolls and bots are bashing Avenatti, they also were involved in supporting Kavanaugh. The GOP loves its Russian friends.

[Turbineguy]

34. GOP Logic.

The GOP can fix the election, they can't control Avenatti.

[-Steph-]

36. Kavanaugh getting confirmed has nothing to do with Avenatti, although Republicans would sure love

it if we start blaming him.

I still don't understand why Swetnick's claims were just automatically dismissed by so many to begin with. We know from Ford's assault that he doesn't mind assaulting in a team with at least one of his friends. Mark Judge's ex-girlfriend of 3 years said Mark told her flat out that he participated in running a train on at least one inebriated girl during his school days. So why does it seem so outrageous for Swetnick to have seen that and been a victim of it herself? She claims to have reported it to the police. NBC said the police officer who she said took her report has since passed away, but they verified that he did work there at that time and NBC said they were currently working on trying to obtain the police record, which they were told could take up to a month.

I think she should have been taken just as seriously as any of the other accusers. If what she alleges actually happened, then what she suffered was unimaginable and to then come forward and not even be believed by many of the same people actively supporting Dr. Ford and Debbie Ramirez, I just couldn't imagine going through that.

[watoos]

40. It's more about Republicans taking down Avenatti

than it is about taking down Swetnick.

Just because Republicans are saying that Democrats are blaming Avenatti doesn't mean that is true. I don't see any Democrats here blaming Avenatti, do you?

[Nitram]

39. It makes no sense at all. Avanatti bears no responsibility. The GOP bears it all.

[DallasNE]

41. Avenatti's Case Is Actually Solid

He even presented corroborating evidence. The FBI didn't speak to any of them.

The problem was that the story was so horrendous that nobody wanted to believe it.

Then there were the dozen or so lies he told on top of that but Collins decided he was a moderate in her own mold. So now we have a serial liar and sexual predator on the bench.

[ananda]

42. No logic whatsoever.

This is ALL on the Reeps and Joe Manchin!!!!!

[marble falls]

43. What kind of logic? Russian bot logic.

[DrDan]

44. senate democrats do not want to admit to their impotence

[Tavarious Jackson]

45. I like Avenatti.

He's fighting for all women.

[redstateblues]

46. We haven't heard the last of him

[ismnotwasm]

48. There is no logic

It’s dumb
