(602 posts)One does what one can, even if it feels like it's impossible to think clearly under the constant Trump carpet bombing.
I have a slight advantage I'm not particularly proud of, in that I spent ten plus years fighting for the life of a spouse hell bent on destroying it, and mine by way of circumstance. She was/is a borderline personality disorder sufferer, and quite a force unto herself, so by necessity I inured myself to thinking under pressure, at times extraordinarily so.
I only mention this because to me, it's become clear that Trump has had a profound effect on our collective psyche, and each of us are forced to find our way to logic and sanity in the face of irrational madness radiating like a living cancer from Trump himself.
I once read a brilliant description of what trying to think coherently can be like under the [gas-lighting] assault of a sociopath/BPD individual; the woman said that it was like trying to think with your head stuck inside a running washing machine.
That's where I've personally found myself every day since Trump's election.
It's essential that we stay on the same side. All we have is one another. In times of War, and we are indeed at War, we find strange bedfellows. Without Trump, Michael Avenatti would never have had the oxygen to rise to national recognition, and it's tempting to tear this person down, he's not an exemplary ally, but he IS an ally nevertheless that has managed to disrupt the Trump sonic blast successfully.
Nature frequently provides natural antidotes to lethal toxins, I like to think that Avenatti is an example of this in practical effect, and I believe it's important to not allow ourselves to be manipulated by the typical forces that destroy adversaries of the republican/trumpian factions.
I certainly am not privy to information law enforcement is not, or an eventual jury. Let his fate be decided there where it should be, in the meantime there are much more important things to apply focus towards.
Sorry for the short novel.
