    Oh boy...
    Doesn’t sound good at all. 

    That was an odd comment about “calling her ‘ungrateful’”, though. Not sure why that’s relevant to allegations of abuse.

    Maybe some old fashioned "Old man can't handle that he can't control his young girlfriend as he thinks he should be able to because of him having her for her looks and she should be grateful to him and do as he says" frustrations

    The idea of him as president was always laughable.  Though not Donald Trump-laughable.  

    The silver lining to him getting the nomination would have been watching him run up the score in the debates.  (On the way to losing 45 states)
    Trump was a popular public figure for decades, had a hit TV show, and flirted with running several times... Avenatti is a johnny-come-lately scumbag lawyer, that is actually WAY more laughable as a candidate then DJT
    When was Trump ever popular?
    Since the 80's
    And he got especially popular once The Apprentice started airing (or he more had a resurgence of popularity, because yeah, he was a pop culture icon in the 80s... and that slumped in the 90s, which is probably why he decided to start his own network show. The guy needs his fans.

    Yeah, but George Clooney, Taylor Swift, Steph Curry, and Aaron Rodgers are also popular and the idea of any of them as president is laughable.  The fact that Trump was famous (moreso than popular) doesn't make him any less laughable than Avenatti.  Oh well, Avenatti has assualted 1/19 of the women that Trump has, so it's a moot point.

    I certainly wasn't suggesting that Trump being POTUS isn't laughable. It totally was and still is. It's fucking ridiculous. More so than all of the other people you names, since none of them are fucking demented and senile as far as I can tell, and I think they all have a shred of morality too. I also think Avenatti is far more suited to the job than Trump. That doesn't mean I don't think the idea is idiotic... But nobody as POTUS is as idiotic as Trump being POTUS. I'm not sure a 12 year old being in the Oval Office would be more ridiculous than Trump being there.

    WOW!

    Attorney Michael Avenatti charged with extortion by federal prosecutors in New York



    Michael Avenatti, the high profile critic of President Trump, was charged Monday by federal prosecutors with trying to extort Nike by threatening to issue damaging allegations against the company unless it paid his client millions.

    The charges mark the latest and most remarkable chapter in the strange public saga of the California lawyer who has represented Stormy Daniels, an adult-film actress who was paid to keep quiet during the 2016 presidential campaign about her alleged sexual tryst with Trump several years ago.

    That case catapulted Avenatti to cable television news fame, but prosecutors now say he threatened to use that platform to extract money from the company.

    Authorities charge Avenatti threatened to hold a press conference on the eve of the NCAA basketball tournament to reveal damaging allegations against the firm unless it paid his client $1.5 million and agreed to hire Avenatti and another lawyer for $15 to $25 million to conduct an “internal investigation” into the allegations.

    The charging document said that Avenatti proposed another alternative to hiring him to conduct an investigation — “a total payment of $22.5 million from Nike to resolve any claims (the client) might have and additionally to buy Avenatti’s silence.”

    Who exactly loved him? I ask this because other than Fox News suggesting he was the Democrats' new darling, I never heard anyone say anything positive about him. 

    I remember Hannity once suggesting that he could be the Democrats' 2020 nominee! I couldn't help but laugh. I think Hannity is good at what he does (brainwashing morons) but even the dumbest of the dumb wouldn't buy that one.

    Avenatti was signaling he would run. 

    Trump became president. 

    Don't see what's so crazy about that "fearmongering" from Hannity.

    He's a pornstar's lawyer...and that's about it. How could anyone think he could really run for President? Even Hannity himself had to laugh about that one after the cameras stopped rolling.
