But the Senate is a friendly body. They're all friends that go out and eat lunch together. "My Friend On Other Side Of The Aisle."
We're like the guy in Animal House...."THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?!"
Their side tries to sound mature and act like they're making their case in a respectful manner. While their actions portray a GIANT FUCK YOU to our side.
At least we have someone like Mr. Avenatti who can see through all the Bullshit, and responds in kind to the lame statements by the other side.

(16,083 posts)of not being a senator and not having to consider his language very carefully. He's a great attack dog, but that is because he isn't a sitting senator or congressman.
Our Senators on the Judaical committee have done a great job in pushing back. I'd like to see them in the media more often, but they have been doing a great job in this whole debacle.
And I am generally one to complain about them not being vocal enough...not this time. They are doing what they can.

(872 posts)Avenatti does not take no shit. I realize that we're supposed to take the high road, but sometimes I feel like we don't fight fire with fire enough.
If this were the Democrats' nominee, and they controlled the Senate, I feel like the repubs would have been so brutal that he would have been done long ago.
I guess being on DU gets me riled up, and sometimes it seems like our Congressmen & Congresswomen are too subdued and cautious when going after the repubs. Yet meanwhile, the repubs basically say FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU..... We're going to get him on, regardless of what comes out.
The Democrats are indeed bringing a gun to a gunfight, but it's a handgun, and the repubs have an AR-15.
Just my opinion. I'm optimistic that this is snowballing for the other side, but I'm still worried since they still seem to be putting up a fight, when clearly they should have cut bait days ago.
