1. I never really liked "Greek Tragedies" and the lore of the fatal flaw (hamartia)...

but hubris, thy name is/was Avenatti. What a waste.

[Ocelot II]

5. The sad thing is that he started out with pretty solid academic and professional creds

and could have had a long, respectable and lucrative career if he hadn't gotten greedy and full of himself. Hubris, indeed.

17. Always thought hubris would nail Don-the-Con...but

[Cha]

20. It has.. it's an ongoing NAILED..

nobody with MORE HUBRIS than TFFCG.

2. I saw Stormy Daniels on CNN this morning and she seems to know more

about the law than Avenatti. I remember when DU members wanted him for POTUS.

[MineralMan]

3. Yeah, I remember that, too.

Hmm...

Here's one of the threads:

8. Hey, MM

I remember back when Avenatti was all over the press and I thought he was on a righteous path.

You set me straight about this shyster.

Thanks.

Hope your winter isn't too uncomfortable.

10. It's just Winter. I dress appropriately.

No big deal, really. But, hey, it's up to 8 degrees F. out there right now.

12. It was -3F this morning

We're in the Lower Catskills in NE Pennsylvania.

[MineralMan]

13. Yeah. Winter. Time to work indoors, I guess.

[EYESORE 9001]

18. AKA Poconos?

I’m not an expert on that region. In NE Pennsylvania, the mountains are spelled ‘Allegheny,’ but across the New York border, they’re spelled ‘Allegany.’ Though maybe it was something similar with the Catskills.

6. The Shiny Object Syndrome.

"Ooh! Ooh! Michael Avenatti is on TV dunking on Trump! He should run for President!" Same thing with Oprah: "Oprah gave a great speech and she's famous! She should run for President!" Avenatti fooled a lot of people, including several MSNBC talking heads who should have known better. But Americans are so in love with celebrity that we often mistake it for competence (Exhibit A: TFG).

9. I remember people here liking him for going after trump agressively, but...

but not for president.

[Effete Snob]

4. You left out "again"

He's still got another set of criminal charges from stealing from his other clients in California.

7. "student with limitless potential" - well, goes to show what TURLEY's acumen is worth!

But AVENATII went out giving Stormy one black eye more than she already had.

[Ocelot II]

11. He did have potential; he was clearly a bright guy.

But he was also greedy and narcissistic, and that was his downfall. His character flaws overwhelmed his intellect and he fucked himself.

[UTUSN]

15. So character cannot be discerned through the surface razzle dazzle?

I can discern that TURLEY is a weasel!1

[Thomas Hurt]

16. limitless potential...well maybe, but what has been in the news in last year or two...

was his potential was to stick it the Pig, and he effed that up.

[Cha]

21. Look like his Limitless

Avarice and Arrogance left his "potential" by the wayside.

19. I like lawyers... but this guy gave the minority of lawyers, known as "scumbag lawyers" a poster boy
