KEK he's such a tool.

 

When adult film star Stormy Daniels sat for an interview on 60 Minutes a little over a month ago, she brought her lawyer along for the show. And thus began Michael Avenetti’s ascent from workaday attorney to darling of the resistance. His compelling client and, ahem, telegenic looks have kept him in the spotlight since, and so far, he’s acquitted himself well, scoring points both on the cable news circuit and on Twitter, where he regularly racks up thousands of likes and retweets.

 

There is one small arena where’s he’s been unable to duplicate this hard-charging success, though: in his quest to create a movement behind the hashtag #basta.

 

What the heck is #basta, you ask? It’s an exclamation that means “enough” in Italian (and Spanish too, actually). Colloquially it translates to something like “Stop it,” or “Enough is enough.” It’s the kind of thing I picture a mafia don in a movie saying to his underlings when they get out of line. Avenatti appends #basta to each of his tweets dealing with Daniels’ case against Donald Trump and Trump lawyer Michael Cohen as if to say, “That’s it, you jokers are on notice now.”
