Rudy totally lost his shit in his old age and made terrible, terrible decisions.

When he handcuffed himself to the dead hooker, that is DJT, it was the beginning of the end for “America’s mayor.”

Wasn't he always a slimey career politician ?

He was a career prosecutor, famous for going after the mob, in New York, back in the 80s.

Correct me, but isn't that also an elected(political) position ?

Edit:
Not in his case

I was wrong

I had a look at Wiki

Not too pretty in my opinion and does show a .. populist character

This one gave me a chuckle:

In a well-publicized 1982 case, Giuliani testified in defense of the federal government's "detention posture" regarding the internment of more than 2,000 Haitian asylum seekers who had entered the country illegally. The U.S. government disputed the assertion that most of the detainees had fled their country due to political persecution, alleging instead that they were "economic migrants". In defense of the government's position, Giuliani testified that "political repression, at least in general, does not exist" under President of Haiti Jean-Claude Duvalier's regime.^[49]^[59]

...what with various appeals and other legal delays, I doubt he'll pay the ladies a dime while he's alive...and what his estate will be worth after his death looks vanishingly small...

**helge** · 16-12-2023, 06:37 AM

Trump will pardon him

**katie23** · 16-12-2023, 07:06 AM

I think in general, he's considered to have been a good mayor of NYC?

But yeah, to say that "political repression does not exist" is just nuts. I had a good opinion of him (as good as one could view a politician) but then he cjose to become Trump's lawyer....

And if Trump gets reelected, then the Merkins deserve that fate...

Try to read up on him

He is as narcissistic and populistic as Trump.

Probably been friends for decades

He’s got a $6 million apartment in New York, as well as various other properties. Nothing that comes close to $150 million. I think it’s funny that he tried to hit Trump up, to cover his legal expenses, and Donny declined.

Maybe Sasha Baron Cohen will bail him out, with another Borat movie.

He got brownie points for his handling of 9/11.

But that long ago evaporated.
