It was blindingly obvious from the start that Avenatti - like so many #Resistance stars basking in attention and profit - was a charlatan. The only people who didn't see this were those who didn't want to.

CNN & MSNBC should reflect on why they gave him such credence:
The US news media in all its glory
"Like the Holy Spirit”: @ananavarro - lifelong GOP operative, supporter of contra terrorism, and #Resistance hero - about (and to) Michael Avenatti

All of the career GOP operatives - who cheered Bush/Cheney and the neocons and Reagan’s Central America wars and then became #Resistance icons for being angry at Trump for displacing their jobs - now want to dictate who the Dem nominee is, & they’re universally opposed to Bernie.
That these GOP career operatives turned #Resistance icons are using Cold War Russia fear-mongering scripts to smear Bernie - by wildly distorting the video clips they’re maliciously spreading - reveals so much about the last 3 years:

Here’s more from @KFILE on how the Bernie-talking-about-Russia video being spread by all the career GOP operatives who now posture as Democratic Party Voices of Reason and Conscience is completely distorted and manipulated to the point of being fake:

Maybe we’ll now see that Russiagate relied on exactly the same Cold War script wielded against the left and even liberals for decades, and that elevating the NatSec purveyors of jingoistic & nationalistic patriotism attacks into heroes was not a wise or constructive thing to do:
Anyone who has visited Moscow or St. Petersburg or other Russian cities knows they’re rich in culture, history, architecture and art.

Demonizing Sanders for acknowledging that - to try to humanize Russians at the height of the Cold War - is vile but of the Russiagate mentality.
Good job, Democrats. Keep re-tweeting him and putting him on your shows:

This is a very good @DouthatNYT column on why Bloomberg is so appealing to the rotted, craven Democratic establishment, and it's particularly good on comparing the relative dangers posed by Trump and Bloomberg: nytimes.com/2020/02/15/opi…
@DouthatNYT Also, even absent Bloomerg's incomparably dangerous presidential run, the great NYT article on his political spending revealed just how easily corrupted and purchased the Democratic/liberal establishment is with Bloomberg's money. He basically owns DC Dems nytimes.com/interactive/20…
@DouthatNYT Not just the headline from this 2012 NYT article but also the first two paragraphs underscore just how craven and rotted the Democratic Party establishment is for being even mildly receptive to a Bloomberg candidacy, let alone as excited as many are nytimes.com/2012/07/27/nyr…

A journey under the hood of the ongoing media attack on .@realDonaldTrump

This article, by .@candidamoss, weaves a dramatic tale of Trump destroying what’s left of the Garden of Eden,...
thedailybeast.com/here-are-the-b…
and is a classic example of activism disguised as journalism.

Interestingly, it fails to mention the risk that Iran might use its own cultural sites as shields behind which it can hide military assets, and that if Iran does so, THAT ACT ALONE would be a war crime against its...
own people, under the same international law, or that it wouldn't be the first time the Iran regime has committed war crimes against its own people, and the people of other nations.

Or that Iran offers financial rewards to the families of terrorists, etc.

THREAD: Yesterday a CA judge ordered @MichaelAvenatti’s super complicit ex-wife Christine @AvenattiCarlin to pay $715K to creditor Jason Frank. Here’s a screen grab of an overview article. AND here’s Mr Frank’s motion:
docdro.id/Km6I6tp
The details are insanity, as usual. Both Michael & Christine pled the 5th.
If you follow what a fraudulent worm #Avenatti is, you’ll find this funny but not shocking. Where to start?
First, #Avenatti 100% funneled over $700K to his ex via cashier’s check to dodge creditors to whom he owes millions. He claimed the $700K was back spousal pay.

Alright I’m going to take @vgr’s bait

1 like = 1 take on Trump 😬

The takes might be hot, the takes might be cold, but the takes will be correct.
@vgr 1) Trump represents more of a continuation of various trends than a clear, radical break from the past.
@vgr 2) Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing, but it's a subset of Generalized Political Derangement Syndrome, which affects both left and right to different degrees.

1/The Mueller Report: Reality Check and Morality Check refusefascism.org/2019/03/24/the… via @refusefascism Excerpts:
2/Now people who are disappointed with the anti-climax of the Mueller report are already being urged to wait for the next bombshell to come out through investigations from the Southern District of New York and other U.S. Attorney’s offices.
3/And many sections of the #resistance are speculating, with absolutely no evidence, that there must be something damning in the Mueller report since Trump hasn’t tweeted about it. These are absurd terms and an absurd basis for resistance.

THE RESISTANCE: Obama did massive celebrity outreach. Absolutely massive. Lots of favors and awards handed out to Hollywood 'icons' desperate for accolades and attention. Now all those favors are being called in. Recognize these #Resistance leaders?

#Trump #MAGA
THE RESISTANCE II: Obama was shameless. He recruited celebrities by giving them the one thing they desire most. Awards. And now they do his bidding. Recognize these #Resistance leaders?

#Trump #MAGA
THE RESISTANCE III: Is it a coincidence so many #Resistance leaders were awarded the Medal of Freedom by Obama one week after #Trump won the 2016 election?

Kareem: Trump is a Racist.
Spielberg: Trump is Nixon.
James Taylor: Trump is Mussolini.
Lorne Michaels: Producer of SNL.

Dear #Resistance,
Brace for battle.
As we turn the corner to 2018 the war for the hearts, minds, and votes of America will get more intense and target Resistance members directly.

Our grassroots movement is now the biggest threat to the goals of some very powerful special interests and people.

PSYOPS (psychological warfare) is a style of warfare that targets the minds of the adversary hoping to control thinking & behavior. It is VERY well understood in Russia (also by the Far-right) and it uses a range of proven techniques such as disinformation, and memetic warfare 3/
