That falls in line with celebrating MS-13 members as great examples of humanity.
That question is one of the regular great stumpers in WoV. Gee, all of us should scratch our balding scalps and wonder out loud just who could have posed this thoughtful question of the week:Quote: ams288Quote: SanchoPanzaHow about a couple of million?
“Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn actress Stormy Daniels, broke his promise to make a $2-million payment that was due Monday under the settlement of his firm's bankruptcy, a new lawsuit alleges.
Avenatti agreed in December to pay $4.85 million to Jason Frank, a former lawyer at Avenatti's Newport Beach law firm, but missed the first installment of $2 million, according to a suit filed Wednesday in state Superior Court in Los Angeles. "Avenatti has no valid excuse for failing to perform this obligation," Frank's lawsuit says.
A document filed with the complaint reveals that an arbitration panel of three retired judges found in February 2017 that the firm, Eagan Avenatti, "acted with malice, oppression and fraud" by hiding its revenue numbers and failing to give copies of its tax returns to Frank, as the panel had ordered.” --LA Times
What on earth does this have to do with the Stormy Daniels case?
And why are you responding for EB? I see he's in red, but I'm sure he'll be back in a few days.
"Ooooh this should be fun:
What has Avenatti lied about?
I fully expect EB to ignore the question, because he can't answer it. Maybe he'll claim he was "exaggerating for effect." lol"
OOOhh, another regular stumper for WofV forums. I can't imagine just who might have posted this. Let us all scratch our balding scalps for a responsible answer to this impenetrable query.
As for "responding for EB," maybe you have never stepped in and "helped" someone else. But I don't think so. Anyway, for my part I will most definitely await any comment, either pro or con, from Even Bob. In the meantime, let us all continue to try to solve the unsolvable enigma above.

It wasn’t just her. It was also her slimy and corrupt Democrat party and what it now represents.
The justified killing of Michael Brown in 2014 started anti-police movement, built on a lie, and perpetuated by the main stream media.
Despite forensic evidence and a grand jury finding supporting the police, Black Lives Matter used the Brown killing to promote their anti-police message. Always playing to the black vote, the dems seized the opportunity to never let a good crisis go to waste, and passed a resolution supporting BLM.
Even as BLM marched in the streets shouting 'Pigs in a blanket', 'Fry em like bacon’, to inspire the killing of police, the dems and their media continued their support for BLM.
After the ambush attack that left five officers dead in Dallas, Trump called it an 'attack on our country'. Hillary called the murders ‘an absolutely horrific event’. Using the murders as evidence of the need for ‘more love and kindness’. and vowed to fight 'systematic racism' in police departments. Same old bs we’ve been hearing for the past fifty years. NYT
Those BLM chants inspired a 167% increase in the number of ambush style killings of police officers on 2016.
Due to BLM and their pandering democrat overlords, shooting deaths of officers rose 56% in 2016.
They’re at it again. Mustering their clueless snowflakes for another go at destroying the USA.
This time playing for the Latino vote. Saying Trump is a racist for calling MS13 members ‘animals’.
Pelosi, who suddenly found religion, believes they're all 'children of God', with a 'spark of divinity'.

Let’s say Obama did “set this up” for instance, do you think the investigation would keep going if he [Trump] didn’t get elected? I think it would’ve fizzled out pretty quickly, since it wouldn’t be worth the effort to “find” evidence when their goal would have already been met.
If someone is being investigated, they should absolutely call out the investigators who/if are crossing the line and not doing their jobs properly/fairly.

I must always point out that a 'tax cut' just means the company is paying less to the federal government than it did the year before per dollar it earns. It DOES NOT mean that the company is not paying an appropriate amount. Democrats ALWAYS want the company to pay more, no matter what. Are you aware how much HD pays in taxes that you are now complaining about? (I'd bet the answer is a resounding NO!)

Thanks Tanko. ams just doesn't like your facts, so he deflects as usual. Pro business legislation and tax plans are good for business.... and those that work for them.... and those that own them.... And if you look at the April tax collection link it is good for the IRS as well.....
I've been a part owner in a business.... when we did better, our employees did better. Be it from decreased costs (lower taxes) or increased sales (more operations).
If you’re working a job making $10/hr and get a raise to $11/hr, you’re not going to immediately see a gigantic difference. But over time, slowly but surely, that difference is going to add up.
