After Grassley rips John Roberts, Avenatti tells the former to "go to law school"

[Yosemito]

Chuck Grassley yesterday joined Donald Trump in his attack on John Roberts, SCOTUS judge.
The response by Michael Avenatti was priceless:

1. This is why I like Avenatti

He will say what everyone else is thinking.
Grassley should have been named Assley.

[True Blue American]

4. I will never forgive Grassley for being

One of the 3 who cost us Single Payer. Grassley, Lieberman and Baucus!

[In It to Win It]

35. Joe Fucking Lieberman

closeted republican...

[elocs]

12. That's also what Trump followers love about him...

he tells it like (he thinks) it is and says what they are thinking.

[malaise]

22. The problem is that the vile MAGAcretin does not know anything

about anything.

[samnsara]

26. me too...hes the attack dog we need.

[oasis]

2. Grassley is about the most ruthless backstabber in Congress. nt

[LittleGirl]

3. Grassley is one year younger than my Mother

and should not be working much less "serving" in Congress. We need to stop this nonsense of 85 yr olds still performing a dis-service to our Congress. Ugh.

[Harker]

5. Age isn't an issue.

His fitness is.

[JI7]

6. yup, paul ryan, rubio, cruz etc are no better

[Harker]

7. Right. And if there's an age limit...

There's no Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Some people ripen nicely, improving with age. Others are like Grassley.

[dragonlady]

33. I really like this post!

[Harker]

36. Kind of you to say so.

I've spent much time with wonderful elderly people, so I feel very strongly about this.

It's true that one cannot reliably equate age with wisdom, but it's certain that we shut them out only to our collective detriment.

[True Blue American]

8. Grassley was

Almost disoriented at the Kavenaugh hearings.

I do understand Lindsey is taking over that Committee.

[Harker]

9. He's unfit to hold office.

I'm sorry he ever got into politics, but his age alone is, or should be, in my opinion, irrelevant.

When you start telling people to butt out at a certain age, you lop off a lot of wonderful people with those that have become increasingly addled.

Is Jimmy Carter too old to be involved? I think not. I'd welcome him.

[True Blue American]

11. I agree

Are you a relative of Tom? My favorite Senator of all time.

[Harker]

15. I backed Tom Harkin over Bill Clinton.

But, no... my user name honors a fictional Bram Stoker character.

It's one of my nicknames, though there have been people who thought it was my true name after knowing me for months.

[True Blue American]

17. Oh,right

I am bad with names. Tom came to mind when I saw your name. My bad.

[Harker]

20. Never a bad thing to think of Tom Harkin.

I am sure he would've been a fine president.

[True Blue American]

23. Made me sick

When the bull ball buster won his seat.

But we are stuck here with DeWine and Husted. DeWine out lied Trump before the election about Cordray but the areas that are most in need of welfare and Medicaid voted for him. Never mind he does not want Medicaid in Ohio.

[Harker]

27. No shortage of sheep lining up

to vote for butchers.

[vlyons]

14. Hey, I'm 71 yr

You should be so lucky to live so long.

[Harker]

39. I'm chugging along, thanks!

About a decade behind you.

I'm hopeful that my mind won't stop working before my body does.

[brush]

29. Yep. Years of institutional knowledge can be lost.

Pelosi is a good example. She knows all the ins-and-outs of House procedural rules and how to use them and she is still on top of her game.

[Harker]

37. Agreed.

I spent much of my day at work thinking on this matter. It's complex in some ways, and many of us own a very personal perspective on it.

One thing we can all likely agree to is that the fewer republicans there are in government, regardless of age, the better our government will be.

[brush]

40. Yes, they are scum only our for themselves, no concern for the general welfare.

I need to amend that. They have disdain for the general welfare.

[TNNurse]

28. yes, those elderly long serving members of Congress

HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AWFUL. Age is not the issue, look at RBG.

[LittleGirl]

32. He's not fit because of his age! eom

[Tipperary]

38. You feel the same about RBG?

[LittleGirl]

44. I do in a way

I think she should have resigned during Obama's tenure so that he could recommend someone like her.

I really believe that if you have to withdraw money from your retirement funds at age 69 or whatever the age is, you should have to retire then too. And I'm 59 so I know what age discrimination is and have been living it for a decade because I can't find a job. I don't know anyone that lays on their death bed and wishes they could have worked longer. Nobody.

[Harker]

41. Grassley is 85.

As a supporter of Bernie Sanders, you probably know that he's 77.

Where do you draw the line?

[LittleGirl]

45. see my post above #44. eom

[Harker]

46. Thanks for responding.

It helps me better understand your views on this matter.

I'm also 59, and I've seen many jobs for which I've applied go to younger, less experienced applicants who aren't very good at what they do, and don't care.

I hope something greatly rewarding comes to you soon.

[Stinky The Clown]

42. His age means little. His beliefs are the issue.

[pdsimdars]

10. He is TOOOOooooo good.

[vlyons]

13. Thank-you Michael Avenatti

If there's anyone, who deserves an ego reduction, it's Grassley.

[democratisphere]

16. Grassley is a very old fart that needs to retire to the old miserable

wreched redumbliCON's home.

[True Blue American]

18. Did you know

As a registered millionaire farmer Grassley got a cut from the bailout?

[democratisphere]

21. Yep. Sure did. redumbliCONS represent everything wrong with America

like wealthiest farmer welfare.

[True Blue American]

24. Well, you never know

Any of this by watching Faux.

[The Wizard]

30. Grassley is happy causing harm

rather than helping the least among us. We all should feel lucky we're not Chuck Grassley.

[gademocrat7]

19. Grassley is a trump cabal member.

The rethugs only care about themselves and to hell with everyone else.

[duforsure]

25. Gassley will just be

Another one involved and shown what the rule of law really is when he's indicted with many others in their gang.

[Bucky]

31. Haha, Avenatti slapped Grassley around like he was

(won't finish that thought)

[dalton99a]

34. Don't forget Grassley recommended Whitaker for U.S. Attorney with little legal experience

On June 15, 2004, Whitaker was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa by President George W. Bush. The appointment was at the recommendation of Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, in spite of Whitaker's minimal relevant legal experience.

43. Grassley knows these are different, the context of both instances are not related
