Not surprised smh.

Some yinz really need to raise the bar. Just because someone dislikes Trump doesn't mean they're the second coming of Christ. No one likes Donald to begin with, raise the bar.

Keep in mind the cops already framed Stormy, and he has not been charged, or even booked. He's being held.

Smelled like baloney, and that response from his wife adds some fuel to that fire.

TMZ, and really all tabloids, are pretty closely linked with Trump.

That did come to bind briefly too (well, not specifically Surefire, but some people actually capable), but it's a bit far fetched this would all be a setup as his wife could so easily deny it, as she has. Right now i'd wager perhaps a girlfriend and the initial reporting was mistaken, but this is all an interesting development.

I mean...that is all he was doing. Slinging barbs on Twitter. No policy, just gotchas on Twitter. He wouldnt even make it past the primaries. You realize Dems understand what hangs in the balance already yes? We don't need a Tweeting barb slinging lawyer to show us that.

I don't have faith in the Democratic party at all in dealing with this situation the way it needs to be dealt with, particularly when high profile democratic politicians keep yelling and screaming about bipartisanship, seeing Michelle Obama being snuggled up to war criminals, and hearing Bernie Sanders (not a democrat, but loved by some leftist voters) showing his ass AGAIN when it comes to racist ass white people.

Avenatti is apparently a piece of shit. Fine. I'll vote for whoever the democratic nominee is, but I don't have any faith that they're going to fight this motherfucker effectively, and I have even less faith that they're going to represent me and the issues that are most important to me.

I'm tired of the Status Quo, and I want someone who's going to at least PRETEND to oppose it. Returning to business as usual Democratic politics isn't a "win" to me.

Wow, the replies in this thread are something. Will await further details before forming my opinion on the matter.

Suspicion of domestic violence would suggest someone was reported to the police via a 3rd party, not the actual victim themselves.

Possibly a doctor or hospital called it in?

Not that I trust Avenatti to be anything more than a self-promoting narcissist it's a little unbelievable that he would attack anyone when he's considering a Presidential bid. I feel like it's the alt right trying to stir shit up like what happened with Stormy and Mueller.

I would imagine they are a bit riled up after getting their shins kicked after the Midterms.

Ok. The tweet does say SUSPICION of domestic violence. That would have me assume and outside party made the call? IDK. Gotta let this shit play out.

It really just means that the felony wasn't commited in the presence of law enforcement, there isn't a separate charge for suspicion of domestic assault.

This is a bit of a tough one though, isn't it? A woman accused him of beating her. I'm inclined to believe most women who come forward and report domestic violence.

Then again, Avenatti does have a lot of enemies right now.

Here's hoping the evidence is sorted quickly.

Well some red hat cops already tried to setup Stormy, so this could also be another attempt at intimidation. We're gonna find out what's going on in the next few days, but if SI is involved, then I'm definitely gonna err on the side of caution.

What made you think Avenatti of all people would be the person to represent you and the issues most important to you? What policy has he laid out other than opposing Trump? If that's whats most important to you then great but is that it?

This Nation's problems wont be solved by electing the Democratic equivalent of Trump, which is essentially what you're asking for. There's nothing you can do but speak the truth when the other side speaks lies and hope that the masses can see through the bullshit. Thats how its been and how it always will be. Someone slinging sick burns on Twitter wont change that. The people that realize the sick burns hold truth will understand their relevance, the people who hold firm to their brainwashing will not, and the people who are in it just to watch the Status Quo be turned on it's head will snicker. And nothing will change.

Why would the cops go at someone who is no threat to Trump? Literally 99.9% of liberals who liked him dropped him and turned on him after he really hurt the Democratic argument during the Kav hearings

The cover up of Trump's affairs are still around. Hard to make misuse of campaign funds or shady money movements go away.

I'm not sure where those presidential rumors even came from. He's not the kind of guy that gives people hope for the future. Now it's definitely over.

I'm pretty sure he sorta implied it or something along the lines of that. It was over when he said that stuff about white males being the only hope for dems and with this his whole actual career is over since I'm pretty sure a felony can get you disbarred.
