Scapegoating Avenatti is just ignoring the reality that it didn't matter how much substantial evidence the Dems provided -- hell, they could have produced a handwritten letter reading, "I am a Republican and will always support corporate interests and protect the powerful against the weak. Fuck the Constitution!" -- and the Repukes would have still shoved him through.

Unless we win the House the Repukes will keep giving Mushroom Dick everything he wants, including destroying the nation's intelligence and enforcement institutions. Unless we win the Senate, the next liberal or moderate justice who leaves the bench will be replaced by someone even more blatantly a political right wing than the child molester who took over Kennedy's seat.

I would love to see if there was some relationship between Justice Kennedy's sudden decision to retire and Deutche Bank, which lent Trump $1 billion for real estate projects while Kennedy's son led the bank's real estate division. "Hey, Pops, have I got a deal for you! How would you like to retire rich?"

Let's see how Anthony Kennedy's net worth changed once he retired, shall we?
