RIP Rudy Giuliani

It's too late for that.

(xp)

every day I open this hoping he has died

xp
I figured that would be the case, but you could be forgiven for thinking this guy has never actually practised law before!

The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis in 1998 opposing plans by the city to locate its emergency command center at the World Trade Center, but the Giuliani administration overrode those objections. The command center later collapsed from damage in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

til the racist bald fuckwit aka "America's Mayor" managed to make the 9/11 emergency response more ineffectual and chaotic, by ignoring good advice.

the title of this thread is finally appropriate

Very cut and dry case, well deserved.

das alotta cash bb

What is Rudy worth these days?

not seventy five million dollars

$75

You can't even go on tv and tell lies that put private citizens in danger these days without the woke mob coming for your loot

Is he really gonna have to pay any of this out though? Or Alex Jones, for that matter? I'd bet that the Goldmans have seen about 400 bucks from OJ after all these years.

he's not cooperated with discovery on his earnings so I guess it's time to take his real estate off him to cover it, then work the rest out in monthly instalments, forever until he dies - love this shit!

he's on TV now still lying

Total damages is $150 million according to CNN.

Maybe he can get a million or two shaved off on appeal.

his lawyers basically wanna yank him off the mike with a cane

OMIGOD he's SHUSHING the press

bringing his pinky rings to the pawnshop

RIP

awesome lawyer talk

“I have no doubt that Mr. Giuiani’s statements caused harm; no question about it,” Sibley said in his closing remarks. “But just because these things happened, it doesn’t make my client responsible for them.”

Hopefully he got paid upfront

gonna have to think that one over

I'm sure there was at least a small part of Rudy that thought the damages number might be $2, or whatever the amount that Trump was awarded in his NFL suit was.

Maybe he forgot that you can't get a pardon for civil suits damages.

he should have done the bravado Sting thing from Quadrophenia.. pull out his checkbook right there in the courtroom

Lawyers will just keep delaying everything and Rudy will probably keep living his lifestyle somewhat until he croaks, but if the world were just the mf'er should have to hand over his house and car keys right there and now. Got to wonder how much of his assets have been moved into other hands in prep for this all happening.

He's not going to pay a dime. No one ever pays a dime, not any of these particular assholes. Trump, Jones, Rudy ...

i feel stupid asking this but like, poor people are basically thrown in jail all the time for legal stuff like unpaid traffic tickets and etc. if these motherfuckers don’t pay damages that they’re supposed to pay, why are they not thrown in jail?

(and i ask this not because i like jail— fire to the prisons— but mostly because i actually just don’t understand this)

(if it’s really just about race and money then that’s what i expect but still)

i mean at some point they do have to pay, like its not true that trump has never paid judgments against him, but hes also wriggled out of a lot of stuff

he's still got millions in property assets and apparently a significant income from podcasts etc for the picking and this is the verdict, I'd rather be them than him at this point.

even if it is pennies to the dollar shit, it's still a victory of sorts. Hopefully all the stress of it causes him to die.

The reason was rich in the first place was that his father put money under his and his siblings names to avoid judgments and whatnot

Calling, I think he already has dyed.

*calzino. Autocorrect besmirched my joke, rather like shoe polish running down the sides of Rudy's face

Giuliani can’t even afford Four Roses now.

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?
