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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

He destroyed his legal career to defend Trump. He went on news channels and pointedly said that it’s normal for a lawyer to pay off hush money and never tell a client. His own law firm fired him because nobody wants a lawyer that spends such massive amounts of your money without telling you. Then he told so many lies that his law license was suspended by the bar for unprofessional behavior and disgracing the legal profession. And after all that, Trump refused to pay him because he didn’t like the outcome of the case.

NOW Giuliani is being sued by the poll workers he slandered and had their lives threatened, and Giuliani admitted to the court that he doesn’t have enough money to fight the case and won’t put up a defense. That’s in addition to the lawsuits against him by Dominion and Smartmatic which are still in progress.

I'm imagining Rudy going bankrupt and ending up in prison for the rest of his life, with his entire legacy reduced to his failure to defend an orange-skinned pig.

And now I can't wipe this smile off my face.

Only thing that would make it better is if he had to listen to said orange pig all day every day for the rest of his life because they are bunkmates

He's also being sued by his former employee whom he sexually assaulted/harassed (I'm not saying allegedly because he was recorded doing it). I believe she's looking for a couple million dollars. And then of course there's the criminal indictment, with probably more to come. I'd imagine his only source of income, apart from any investments he might have, is speaker fees from shitty Trump aligned group events, maybe he can write a book to raise cash. America's mayor is fucked.

There's likely a bottomless pit of gullible neckbeard R's that will contribute if he starts a gofundme.

It's like he watched too much Boston Legal and thought he was Denny.
