The Morning Briefing Readers Have Spoken (Sort Of)
Yeah, another “debate” happened and the world is a bit dumber because of it.
Those of us who spend a lot of time reading and/or writing about politics are obligated to acknowledge the various Democratic primary goings-on but — thanks to you dear readers — I realized that we don’t need to dwell on them.
Debates are the worst parts of these interminably long modern presidential primary seasons. They’re farcical affairs moderated by faux journalists who think they should get as much attention as the candidates. Last night’s nonsense was so bad that the far-left Hollywood publication Variety wrote a debate wrap-up with a headline saying that the questions from the far-left CNN hacks failed both “the candidates and the electorate.”
Full disclosure: whenever I write about the primary these days it feels like an unavoidable trip to a crappy dentist who won’t even prescribe painkillers after an emergency root canal. You lovely readers seem to be less-than-enthused on days we lead with primary stuff here, as well.
So…we’ll still talk about it, but maybe not as much. I’m not going to ignore the debate news, I’ll drop some links from my colleagues’ coverage of it below before the other links begin.
I feel better already, how about you?
Area Democrat Scumbag Forced to Move Into Bargain Lodgings
While the nation had its bleary eyes semi-focused on the Democrats’ “Charge of the White Brigade” in Iowa, most missed the news that bald bottom-feeding sleazebag Michael Avenatti was hauled off by the Feds while he was being taken to task by the California State Bar.
Attorney Michael Avenatti was abruptly taken into federal custody in Los Angeles Tuesday evening, following a day-long disciplinary hearing in which the California State Bar is asking a judge to prevent Avenatti from practicing law based upon their belief he poses a “threat of substantial harm to the public” if he continues to perform legal work.
Avenatti was on the stand when the court took a break and IRS agents placed him under arrest. Multiple sources told ABC News that Avenatti is accused of violating the terms of his pre-trial release.
There is nothing about Avenatti that isn’t execrable.
He’s also the poster boy for why half the country hates the media and why the Democrats should never be trusted with anything.
Just two years ago, Avenatti was being celebrated by the Trump-haters in libmedia, constantly appearing on MSNBC and CNN. It sometimes felt that he was on both at the same time.
We can never forget the fact that there was also serious talk of Avenatti running for president as a Democrat. They were so blinded by their hatred for Trump that they were celebrating a skeevy lawyer who’s meal ticket was a porn star, all the while he was running a side hustle as an extortionist and withholding settlement money from a paraplegic client.
But Trump’s morals or something.
