Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

This is probably a delay tactic. But he's also old as shit and I think a cigar smoker so it very well could be COPD.
Either that or he’s so poor he needs the medical reimbursement.

Well the bankruptcy was actually evidence to me that this is a delay tactic. But idk he also owes a lot of people a lot of money.
He asked Trump to pay for his defense attorney and Trump said no. I think he’s in the hole.

...as they pleaded with a bankruptcy judge not to let someone else take over his finances.
Just in case anybody was wondering what legal consequence he was trying to weasel out of.
"Am I going to fight this case until I die? Yeah,” Giuliani said. “I’d rather die poor with my principles than cave in to a destruction of my country that I love so much.”
Da fuq is he talking about?
Well we saw his brain melt out of his head on live tv Edit: just trying to be funny. Didn’t mean to imply he had a brain before that
You son of a bitch, I was so close to getting to make that joke.
Fuck it, I’m going to the Four Seasons
The dumbfuck thinks he's actually important and is trying to cosplay as some kind of persecuted martyr.
He has principles?!
He really thinks he's going to setup a martyr narrative? I mean I'm sure Trump fans will think ThE dEep StAte is involved with his death regardless but ..
Ok, fine, one good thing came out of 9/11
Can't say I feel bad. Tough shit.
Who cares. Couldn't happen to a bigger POS.
As far as I know, Rudy did not show up at a single funeral held for any victim of the 9/11 disease.
Most of the 'Ground Zero' workers were there without respirators because George W. Bush's people claimed the air was safe.
It's interesting that even now whenever there are major fires or explosions officials continue to make claims that the air is safe. I feel like out of everything that's happened in the US that 9/11 would have taught us about the dangers of fires and explosions...but here we are. (I would have said everything that's happened in the world but we all know that the US doesn't learn anything from international events)
New York City didn't learn anything. The biggest change after 9/11 was that the Fire Department and the Police each sent one captain to sit in the other's headquarters. Too much toxic pride to actually put them together under one roof. And don't get me started on the patchwork quilt that is EMS.
Without**
Thank you. Edited for clarity
This man would blame routine constipation on 9-11.
Huh, my money would have been on syphilis-related brain disease.
Unless it’s some kind of disease that takes over your brain and involuntarily makes you a bullshit artist, I don’t see how this is relevant to anything.
How convenient, make sure to wheel him out in a chair with an O2 tank to really get them sympathy points.
Wait… Rudy is trying to benefit from 9/11?
Color me surprised!
What does that have to do with him being a crook? All I care about when he is mentioned is when will he go to jail where he belongs?
Like he was ever at ground zero for anything more than a photo op.
Bit of a delay there, Rudy.
Well, if this is the case, we should hurry up & get his ass in the hoosegow. With his present finances in such disarray, the poor guy won’t be able to afford getting any sicker without a dedicated nurse.
and not to forget stains on his clean record too.
