Hey, wait a minute! Wasn't Avenatti at one time considered a possible 'future' Democratic candidate for office???

Avenotti's fans were just...more easily impressed than most and eager to be enthused about someone -- but had the sense to dump a shiny object that turned out to not be "rock star" presidential material. By now they're a few years older and more experienced also.

(279 posts)She is in a profession where she gets paid to "screw", Avenatti does look like a walking dick, he fucked her over (financially) and now she is going to get paid. So I guess by the power of comedic logic, I would agree, she got "screwed" again!

(11,932 posts)Avenatti is broke and owes multiple people he stole from. She will never see any of it.

(67,807 posts)At least morally if not financially.
And lets consider . . . . the fact she makes her money in various facets of the sex industry should not be, but all too often is, the measure by which she and people like her who make their living that way are judged to be somehow inferior to the rest of us.
That's just plain WRONG.
I am solidly on her side.

Look, I'm happy she won her case - the guy was a cad and looking back it was amazing to think that at one time some people thought he would be a good person to have in a public office.
While 'politics' can be dirty, it is also a 'profession' - a place where people with experience and integrity can have the chance to make a career while serving others. EXPERIENCE counts!
Look at how much better off we are having a 'career politician' leading our country now - as opposed to the "he gets things done" crime lord that we just voted out......
Her 'getting screwed' was based on poor choices - twice. Just like WE got screwed by one of those same 2 choices...........
