Michael Avenatti for US Attorney General! Oh, wait. He's in prison. But someone brash LIKE Avenatti

[LaMouffette]

should replace Merrick Garland. An honest Avenatti, with the best interests of all Americans at heart. Avenatti turned out to be a loser, but he did have a certain toughness about him that we could really use in an attorney general right now.

And, now that I think of it, if Traitor Trump should happen to be the Republican candidate in 2024 (shudder!), we need to find someone just as loud, just as in-your-face as TFG, and then some. Again, an honest Avenatti, male or female, doesn't matter, as long as they have an impeccable character and can get loud when it's demanded of them.

I love, respect, and admire almost all of our Democratic elected leaders, but most of them are way too polite for the smack-down free-for-all that will be the 2024 election.

1. Why are you assuming Biden won't run for re-election?

[leftieNanner]

5. Where is this concept located in the post?

It just talks about TFG running in 2024. Doesn't say anything about Biden.

[Elessar Zappa]

8. The OP says we need someone similar to Avenatti to run in 2024 against TFG.

[LaMouffette]

9. I adore Joe Biden, was an early supporter in 2020, and would love another Biden term, BUT

can he get elected at age 80? That won't be as much of a factor if he has to run against TFG, who will be 77 in 2024. But if the Republicans pick some young Trump clone, I think Joe will be at a great disadvantage. Plus, let the poor guy retire and enjoy his life and family! He's gone above and beyond for his country. He deserves a wonderful retirement after all he's done.

[Elessar Zappa]

11. If he wants to retire, sure, I'd support his decision.

But he may very well run again.

[Hekate]

26. It's a little early to retire Joe, don't you think? Any hint from him, & he becomes a lame duck...

… from that day onward.

I think we should be supporting Joe and Kamala as hard as we can, every day.

2. Glen Kirchner would work

as a possibility.

I do wish AG Garland were doing more.

It's difficult to be patient.

[LaMouffette]

10. I can see that! He would be a good choice, I think.

[BlueLucy]

3. Nope.

Most people who vote for Democrats do not like that style and it's one reason why they vote for democrats.

[LaMouffette]

12. I agree, at least for "normal" times. But I think after all the BS we've had to endure the past five

years, that someone with intelligence, integrity, and a natural talent for getting loud and expressing righteous anger when the situation calls for it would really resonate with Democratic voters. I'm thinking Michael Bennett in 2019 when he excoriated Ted Cruz and his "crocodile tears":

Probably should have said Michael Bennett in my original post!

[hamsterjill]

22. I disagree.

I think most Democrats want to see some action and are tired of the years of “we can’t do that because it’s what they do”.

I would be quite happy with an AG who would push the envelope a little to get Trump, et al in some real trouble. It’s way over due in my opinion.

[Bev54]

4. No thanks I will take very smart but aggressive

Sure as hell do not need a showboater like Avenatti.

[LaMouffette]

13. Agreed. Smart, aggressive, but not a self-promoter.

[samsingh]

6. i agree. Garland is not doing what's needed to protect Democracy when the repugs gain power.

[LaMouffette]

14. Nope. I really hope he surprises us and imposes real consequences for TFG and his fellow traitors.

[JanMichael]

16. And if he doesn't how will you feel then? Burned or just ok?

I only ask because as time goes by the odds of it happening get lower and lower and lower.

[LaMouffette]

24. I would feel burned. I hope he acts soon or the six who just got subpoenaed will be sure to follow

Bannon's lead.

[BlackSkimmer]

17. I agree. Wait a bit and I'm sure our resident "expert" will soon be along to tell us we're wrong.

Surprised she hasn’t shown up yet actually.

[hamsterjill]

21. Me, too.

Must have slept in today!

7. Adam Schiff for AG. Nt

[LaMouffette]

15. That would be most excellent! During the impeachments he did show he was capable of expressing

righteous anger. Love, love, love Adam Schiff.

[samsingh]

23. that would have been awesome

[Corgigal]

18. I still like Preet Bharara.

How he wouldn’t talk withTrump on his phone calls, tells me he honestly believes in the law. Also, he’s not a fearful man.

[Polybius]

19. Alan Grayson is just like Avenatti

Honest though (to my knowledge).

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. An overly aggressive AG would be neutered by the SC. n/t

[Raine1967]

25. An honest Avenatti is still a toxic man.

Seriously, I am tired of these tropes.

Avenatti was toxic before he was found guilty. Toxicity isn't against the law, before anyone jumps on me for the comment.

I don't want ANY Dem AG that acts as he did. He acted like a republican. He's in jail -- like many republicans should be.
