agreed entirely. i think we as a society should just do way with this harass-for-attention shit. we all know that if you treat someone shitty it will get attention. but it's, as you correctly pointed out, generally not good for one's own cause. no one's donating for BLM because they got stuck in traffic. no one's going to hate cruz because you interrupted his dinner. no one's going to not get an abortion, if anything they'll just pull their hood up or reschedule the appt. im not gonna get converted by some whacko with a sign on campus. its antithetical to success. but it does get press. i think in the long run we'll see people have so little success that the harassment will kind of fix itself. not where it will stop ,but when you are the one being harassed you'll feel a bit bad for them and recognize they're making themselves look silly. we're already there with westboro baptists, BLM would do well to not follow the same path, but they will. or at least their most fervent will lead the flock in that direction often enough that they remain a joke of an organization generally. it's a shame i'm not black, they've forgotten how to win, i could show them the way.

well you're missing the point

since Ted himself showed it as one of his weaknesses in the Fox interview

they made a tactical mistake by attacking Cruz in this fashion, with no substance behind it - and Cruz is trying his best to exploit it for political gain. does the man even have humanly feelings that could be hurt?

no

Michael Avenatti has accused a sitting judge of lying, and called him a gang rapist. The ABA's rules are kind of prickly about that, at least in every state but California, so there's a question of whether this results in his disbarment when the dust is settled

I can see the Promo for his new CNN show now: "Bad boy former lawyer, willing to lay it all on the line in search of the Truth." Nike Kaepernick "sacrifice everything" ad unironically plays.

where does Avenatti blame the woman??!?!


extremely disingenuous reporting by Breitbart, they're no better than the outlets you criticize...

brietbart is shit but you're looking at it in a silly way. MA shouldn't have come forward before confirming that's what his clients want. He jumped the gun on standard procedure. Then later said that it's up to the women. which is him blaming them for not coming forward to honor the "drop" he made before he was supposed to. as Goom says, that's potentially ground for disbarment. by saying it's up to the women to come forward he's pre-blaming them for expectations of his announcement not being met. he should have stfu until the second they consented to come forward, at least with a story if not the full monty.

you realize of course how serious disbarment is, right?

he blocks his twitter on and off

I find it pretty disturbing a lawyer involved (in some capacity for some unknown reason in every thing around Trump) is throwing around gangrapist without damning evidence shown at the same time

no honeydicking with serious accusations like that

It's an absolute injustice to suggest anyone was involved in that without submitting the evidence as soon as you make the accusation as a figure like Avenatti

to me, it doesnt look like MA wants to work as a lawyer any longer anyway - imho, he's trying to get into politics or the media, with a talk show on CNN or something like that.
