Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

One the one hand, fuck Rudy, hope they find every cent of his and he ends up living out the rest of his days in a dingy, shitty apartment wallowing in his own piss while barely being able to afford food.

On the other hand, if you lent him money it's because you are either an amoral leech, or your expected favours from Trump in return.

Fuck everyone involved in this I guess?

Is Six that time he smeared snot all over his face?

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

Yes 👏👏👏👏

Rudy lied about what an EMS crew did when they were treating a patient. He tried to make himself out to be a big shot and a hero. He slandered a bunch of hardworking civil servants.

I could cite plenty of other times he was a pig.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 9 points 8 months ago

Also when he blew his nose and then wiped the snot all over his face using the handkerchief

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In total fairness, there was no indication that the character the legal-age actress was portraying was 15, that was just simply shouted at Rudy by SBC when his hand is down his pants. It's not much of a gotcha when it was all staged. All of those other things, totally valid!

I mean… okay— but what did he think he was going to do with that girl? And how old did he think she was?

That creep is 79! He was in his mid 70’s when that occurred . 🤮

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 64 points 8 months ago

This sparks joy

The far-reaching order is only possible thanks to allegations that Giuliani participated in “discovery misconduct”—that is to say, he failed to spill all the beans the first time around

Giuliani’s incompetence is going to expose all his allies to intense financial scrutiny. I wonder how tight the Russian mob’s security is to human failures.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I assume he'll trip while taking a stroll around the rooftop of a tall building sometime soon ..

[–] Nobody@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Unless Giuliani turns state’s evidence. The FBI might have all those windows locked down.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I find it interesting that you think it won’t be fbi agents helping him to the window,

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

Yes, Jeff Epstein definitely echos here.

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 7 points 8 months ago

Sudden onset defenestration. There's an epidemic over in Russia.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Oh no! Where will he find that kind of money?

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Bout to drop the hottest kicks of 2024

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Pre-order your pair of Shoe-lianis for just $299 + shipping!

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

It's too bad he didn't have an important client he was tethered to for years, at least then he'd have the funds to pay his debts

[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

He only got $199 for this so he'll have to make a few more

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago

No worries, once they release the Kraken, it's all going to turn around for ol'Rudy. Any day now.... Any day

[–] suction@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
[–] moon@lemmy.cafe 15 points 8 months ago

Just put him in fucking jail, he's been caught on so many crimes

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Is there going to be another bailout? I need to know which corporations to boycott.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

That is Dr. Evil amounts of money.

I'll never unsee that picture where he was melting with booty juice coming out the side of his head.

[–] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Booty juice comes right from the source. And what's the source?
