Among the amusing followons:

UPDATED. Rudy's spox gave me comment on this story. I followed up and asked if he'd stay on as spox given the cost to keep him. Spox said his work isnt contingent on paycheck. I asked again, are you being paid. He told me now he's "never referred to himself as his spokesman" https://t.co/mfPNvp1cTM

Doing it for love

But I won't do that

"The best current estimate is dated, but puts Mr Giuliani's net worth around $50m, with approximately $15m of that from his business activities, including his worth with his Giuliani Partners lobbying group, according to CNN. At the time of the estimate — about 15 years ago — he was earning approximately $17m a year.

But that was more than a decade ago, and a lot has changed for Mr Giuliani. On 21 December, Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy."

I hope he dies broke, homeless and alone.

a huge insult to the many people who die broke, homeless and alone every day.

There are very few, if any, of those people on whom I would wish that fate.

Relistening to Blowback S1, was reminded that he was one of the finalists under consideration for "Viceroy" of Iraq after the invasion. What a shit show.

he is thinking "Jesus take the wheel"

does this mean the women who sued him get nothing?

I think they'll be first in line for a bankruptcy court-determined chunk of his current assets, and maybe a piece of whatever he makes on his continuing grifts while he's under Ch.11 reorg?

DENIED

A genius at work:

I don't why Ted Bundy didn't try that genius defense strategy

I don't imagine Rudy can afford competent counsel anymore

oh well this thread title is disappointing

But think of the fun we'd have missed if he'd actually died in 2019.

Sigh

"fun"

Oh come on

FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING

Have you forgotten?

Not to mention his sexual harassment lawsuit quotes

Borat scene

Bankruptcy

Dripping hair gunk

Shaving in dining area

Farting in court

ok it's fun. not the fun we want, but the fun we deserve

It's really hard to believe how hard he's fallen since his halcyon days in the 80s

He was always a shameless attention-seeker, he just crashed and burned when he came within Trump's orbit.

forget the 80s, the 2000s americas mayor, he was mayor of the whole country, because of terrorism

yeah all he had to do once he was done as mayor was chill out and shut up and he'd have been set for life, but trump tempted him to his own self-destruction.

not that he wasn't an absolute piece of shit through and through the entire time obv

Booze and age have clearly taken a toll, also.

judgment, competence, reputation—

one of the greatest, most hilarious, and most notable crashes ever

forget the 80s, the 2000s americas mayor, he was mayor of the whole country, because of terrorism

i didnt know shakespeare became the villain

so good fwiw

and bur yeah, so many things demand re-inspectation really, amirite

That's Giuliani's voodoo: he turns Shakespeare into a villain

Astonished by that Time cover. Did they really superimpose him atop a tower post-9/11? Sometimes I forget how insane and on-the-nose everything was back then.

Yeah I think anyone who wouldn't know Rudy Giuliani pre-trump just has no idea how people responded to him at the time of 9/11, he had it all for a minute

rudy lost a plum gig

John Catsimatidis, a New York billionaire, Republican donor and owner of WABC, told the New York Times: “We’re not going to talk about fallacies of the November 2020 election. We warned him once. We warned him twice. And I get a text from him last night, and I get a text from him this morning that he refuses not to talk about it.

“So he left me no option. I suspended him.”

Giuliani later said he had been fired.

what the hell is he doing

If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes. pic.twitter.com/iOv6cB0xXD
