“…A cheap deck of cards”? As compared to the sturdiness of an expensive deck of cards.
Strange simile.
…with the emphasis on the “cheap.”
“Cheap deck of cards” is the wrong analogy. Cheap lawn chair under a fat man would be better.
Stormy, and others who want to talk about folding with some tawdry connotations, it’s “fold like a cheap suit.” Cheap cards fold about the same as less cheap ones. Sheesh!
Bad comparison! Weak language! Sick!
(I grew up with folding like a cheap card table… I’m learning today that there must be a lot of regional variation in this saying)
Cohen would clean up the mess
Deposited by Trump’s excess.
Shades of Dick Nixon!
Trump’s fixer needs fixin’.
It’s time for them both to confess.
I think he was reaching for cheap suit.
Avenatti puts more in one tweet than trump puts in an entire speech.
I don’t rate Avenatti’s pleadings much, but I highly rate his litigation management.
I would have preferred “Cohen will fold like the Minnesota Vikings,” but I’m still bitter about the Cowboys-Vikings game in '75.
And truth be told, you really can’t fold a card. It doesn’t stay folded. You have to put a paperweight on it or something.
You fold a losing hand in poker. Even if the cards themselves are expensive.
I have to admit, as an attorney myself, I did not take Avenatti seriously for a long time. I didn’t realize he was an actual lawyer, as opposed to playing one on TV. I like the cut of his jib.
“Gonna collapse like a cheap Teak Chair sat on by Trump.” ?
My fave:
Gonna fold faster than Superman on laundry day.
That being said, is Avenetti gonna release the sketch or is he saving that for slower news days?
“Fold Like A Cheap Deck Of Cards”
Huh? I expect better creative turns of phrase from my fellow attorneys. Language is our bread and butter.
Avenatti’s card simile is weak, but that Tweet is ON POINT.
I would expect Stormy’s lawyer will want Cohen squeezed, but not so screwed as to been unable to reach
a settlement in profitable terms.
Trump’s Queens/Jersey/Bronx punk-ass corporate bitch lawyers are getting the shit kicked out of them in the public prints. #basta
