Bad News, Bastaettes.

Becca ReeseDecember 5, 2018

So, bad news. Mr. Stormy Daniels won't be running for President in 2020. In an announcement which was clearly penned under the delusion that he ever even had a snowball's chance. Avenatti talked with his family and decided not to run. Otherwise, he'd obviously win the nomination, of course.

In other news, I've decided not to run for Prime Minister of Canada and won't be hosting the Oscars this year. After careful consideration, of course.

Who? Michael Avenatti, of course. He was going to be your best chance to beat Trump in 2020.

Such a loss!

I look forward to who-ing HC’s announcement that she won’t run, should she be so gracious.

As is typical of the fickle Left, they forget you exist if you're no longer useful.

We hardly knew ye, Creepy Porn Lawyer.

Kavanaugh keeps getting the last laugh, and he deserves every single one.

To think that Avenatti would actualy have ever run for president is a delusion. We've got enough sleaze in the WH right now, don't need any more.

Trump is sleaze, who is the personification of sleaze, who slept with sleaze. And he is President. Seems to be what republicans prefer in their President.

You'd think the hate would ease up and a little happiness exist that he isn't YOUR President.

chase, Avenatti was taking himself and his run very seriously. I know the Trump haters like to act as if they were never enamored by CPL, but they were indeed.

Avenatti is just the latest lefty road kill so it doesn't appear they've got egg on their faces.

Riiiiiiiiiiight, ann. Let me see if I can find all those posts where the heaving bosoms were elated that their handsome porn lawyer might run for President.

I get it. It's embarrassing now that you've finally caught on to what the rest of us saw from the very start; Avenatti is a CPL loser.

Another one bites the dust. Now, they don't even know you, CPL. Remember when you were their hero during Kavanaugh's witch hunt? Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

Is this a Big Nothing thread, or am I just not able to understand because I don't live there and am not steeped in all this. For me, a conversation on this subject would go, on either side of the party line:

A: Avenatti says he's not going to run for president.

B: Oh. Sounds like a good decision. Tea?

Thanks, mayflowers. I had no idea what Bastaettes meant either. Never heard the term before.

Also, I spent too much time trying to look up what "CPL" meant in Becca Reese's posts. Finally, I re-read Becca's posts and noticed that she capitalized "Creepy Porn Lawyer."

I would request that when participants fist use an uncommon abbreviation, that they please tell what the abbreviation stands for.

Avenatti's self-ascribed "tagline" was "BASTA!", as in #Basta, as he evidently tried to get it trending.
