'Buckle Up Buttercup': Avenatti Fires Back at Don Jr. Troll with Federal Prison Warning

[DonViejo]

by Ronn Blitzer | 8:52 am, October 9th, 2018

Attorney Michael Avenatti has the Trump family back in his sights. This time, he’s taking the attack to the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., in response to a snarky Tweet that was directed at Avenatti on Monday. Don Jr. tweeted an article about disgraced Democratic politician Anthony Weiner possibly getting out of prison, and sarcastically suggested that we could see an Avenatti/Weiner ticket in 2020. Avenatti has been floating the idea of a possible run at the presidency.

Early Tuesday morning, Avenatti fired back, saying that Don Jr. shouldn’t be joking about people in federal prison, since he’ll likely be headed there himself someday. Avenatti referred to Don Jr. as “Bif,” likening him to the “Back to the Future” villain.

In recent weeks, Avenatti had focused his attention on combating the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh by representing Julie Swetnick, who accused Kavanaugh of possible sexual misconduct in high school. Avenatti faced criticism that Swetnick’s allegations did not come off as credibly as those of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, undermining Ford’s accusations and helping Kavanaugh get confirmed. Avenatti has called such claims “baseless.”

1. Idiot Jr. can't even spell Avenatti's name correctly...

Buckle up Buttercup....

Hahaha - that's one of my favorite sayings....

[Hokie]

4. Trump Jr. is a chunk off the old turd - NT

[lastlib]

14. "The turd doesn't fall far from the asshole." eom

[iluvtennis]

24. Love that descriptor - puuurfect.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. It's the same playbook GWB tried with Sadam Hussein, call him Saaadam. Disrespect of a 13 year old.

[Trust Buster]

2. An unwise post from an attorney IMO.

[watoos]

12. Maybe he should have just ignored it, ehh,

like John Kerry did with the Swift Boaters?

Taking down Avenatti is one of the main right wing talking points right now. If Avenatti wins the presidential nomination I'm all in for him, you?

[lastlib]

15. YES--I'd back him 100% if he wins nomination.

But I don't want him to win the nomination. I have doubts that he would be a very effective president, and I'd rather have him running loose as our #1 attack monster, not with the constraints of the presidency.

[shanny]

20. I'd be happy with him at AG...

a girl can dream.

[lunatica]

32. Now that's something I can definitely get behind!

I don’t know why everyone thinks being President is the only job there is.

[LenaBaby61]

31. Maybe he should have just ignored it, ehh?

Hell no. That's how Dems get into trouble.

As you said, John Kerry allowed himself to be labeled a flip-flopper and to be Swift-Boated. Just thought people would see through it, not believe it. Yeah, and Michael Dukakis also took on too much water from the master race baiter Lee Atwater and never recovered from the Summer on during his campaign. Susan Estrich told him to fight back, address the lies etc. but there he sat like a bump on a pickle thinking people would see through the lies, Lee Atwater and that crew heaped upon him. Then there was that commercial he did in a tank that ended him. Let me let that go He lost to Bush Sr. Moral of the story, Dems need to fight back with TRUTH and not just sit there and take it when thuglicans lie on them or misstate the facts on purpose. It's not like most in the corporate media will hold thuglicans accountable when they LIE. DEMS themselves have to hold them accountable when they LIE.

18. Why... just claim the "Kavanaugh Exception". No laws apply including perjury.

Or does the "Kavanaugh Exception" only for people that are sitting in judgment of others while wearing a black robe.

[Ohiogal]

3. I'll say one thing...

Avenatti seems to really push their buttons, which, to me, is a good thing!

[cwydro]

5. He loves that phrase "buckle up," doesn't he?

[Pachamama]

6. I love that phrase too....

And I love Avenatti....

[lastlib]

16. makes sense--former race-car driver.... eom

[ProudLib72]

35. Bif needs something more substantial than a regular old safety belt

He needs a five point harness to keep him securely locked in his high chair.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Avenatti is what we need down the home stretch here

He has nothing to lose - no voters to alienate - because he's not running for anything in 4 weeks. He is balancing the harsh, snarky, sarcastic, distorted pile of finely honed PR lies that are dribbling from the Trumpian White House and family BS mill. Avenatti takes no prisoners, he hits as hard as he can, you can just feel the impact and hear the thuds. He will keep them on their toes and his tweets are as much inoculation as haymakers, the Trump targets hardly know what's hit them, and the tweets help keep our own committed voters from straying, and from falling asleep.

In this brass knuckles election atmosphere, Avenatti is a prize fighter of major proportion, he's a champ to want on our side!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. hope Daddy's Boy Donnie tries to rescue jr.

It would be grand to see all-out tweet war with Avenatti taking on both Dons.

Keep 'em both from hogging tv time until after the election.
Might also depress some cultists.

25. You bet bucolic,

the right fears Avenatti because he has the ability to change the narrative, to block out the right wing talking points.

He is the subject of a right wing smear campaign and we need to have his back. He would make a good president because it is going to take someone strong to take on the right wing money machine, including the corporate media.

Honestly, I hope he gets our nomination because that will mean that the American people have seen through this right wing smear campaign. Go get em Michael.

[Grasswire2]

29. your use of the word "dribbling"...

...associated with Trump is fairly disgusting. LOL

[William Seger]

8. "Bif:"

[GoCubsGo]

9. I would prefer to see him go to state prison.

Federal prisons are too cushy--unless they were to send him to ADX Florence. Otherwise, I'd prefer he rots in some place like Attica or Sing Sing.

[Taraman]

13. Reminded of "I'm your huckleberry"

Doc Holiday to Johnny Ringo in "Tombstone."

[Pepsidog]

17. Avenatti is a bare knuckle street brawler. I want him on our side. We tried going high when they go

low, but now we need to change tactics. The gloves are off and Dems can’t take the high road any longer, look where it has landed us. Remarkably, a rich, thin skinned puff-cake has become the champion of all the anger and resentment in the country. What is remarkable is that he offers all those malcontents ansolutely nothing but a voice of anger. People connect to that anger so we must tap into it as well along with presenting solutions that will work. I love the Obamas but sure hate Michelle’s motto about the high road. Until we restore the order once again in this country, it’s the low bumby road for me. Sad but true that “Nice people finish last”.

26. The time for civility is over,

it's time for civil disobedience.

[Grasswire2]

30. He worked for Rahm in Chicago.

Doing opposition research, I think.

Creds.

[libdem4life]

19. How I love this man...Michael, that is.

There isn't a Dem on the planet who could/would say that. I think that they are in shock. Good.

[oberliner]

21. Back to The Future Villain?

Is Ronn Blitzer an idiot?

[AlexSFCA]

22. he is the one trump afraid the most

not a politician but a brilliant lawyer.

[watoos]

27. I agree,

throw in Andrew Weissman and Robert Mueller.

[vlyons]

28. Well what would you expect from the toilet mind of Don Jr?

Hey there! Aren't we glad and ever so grateful that we don't walk around all day with their kind of vicious mean-spirited filth in our minds?

[backscatter712]

33. I thought Daddy Choadstool was Biff.

After all, didn't the writers of Back to the Future base the "Hell Valley" alternate 1985 version of Biff on Donald Trump?

[Scurrilous]
