    Quick history lesson.

    After he won the election, but before being sworn in, Rudy was on scene when a car hit a child.

    Rudy abused the ambulance crew, who wanted to take the victim to the nearest hospital, against the mother’s wishes.

    Rudy won, and then tried to play off that he’d “rescued” the kid, when in fact he’d put the kid’s health at risk.

    Rudy is, was, and will always be a pig.

      Rudy abused the ambulance crew,

      I wish that I could be confident that was an autocorrect from “sued”…

      But you never know with Rudy

        No it was really verbal abuse

        [Giuliani] said he challenged the lieutenant, James Ayuso, for resisting the woman’s “perfectly reasonable request” and leaving the boy “shivering on the ground” while arguing for 10 minutes before acquiesing.

    The finacial courts do ocassionally do really funny things. Like forcing Musk to buy Twitter and now making Rudy sue Trump

      It was funny seeing him Find Out after Fucking Around with them, but it’s considerably less funny now that it’s Truth Social 2.0

        Yeah it was looking like Twitter was going to collapse for a few months… But now it’s obviously not going to.

        Having the most money in the world helps with even the worst businesses, unfortunately.

        • It kills me because so many of my peers devote so much time, love, and energy into community-based businesses that struggle to stay afloat. Meanwhile these fuckers stay enriched while running absolutely despicable businesses, only because they have so much seed money to start with.

      I bet the reason Gulliani doesn’t want to sue Trump isn’t loyalty. It’s because he knows, deep down, that any attack on Trump is going to be seen by the MAGA hats as a threat. Nuance isn’t their specialty.

      Gulliani knows he’s going to get death threats if his creditors sue Trump.

    I fucking hate how these assholes can run around with millions in debt, yet some average Joe will be in prison because they can’t pay a 500$ fine…

    Lmao that is honestly kinda fuckin’ hilarious. Doesn’t that effectively mean that he’s forced to pay the legal bills of his creditors, thus only increasing his debt?

    Delicious.

    There’s no blood in the Trump turnip. If Giuliani is smart he’ll wait until the RNC commits to covering all Trump’s legal bills and debts. So, like, a week or so?

    Ofcourse, you cannot claim you have no money and then have a lot of outstanding debts you can cash.

    Also, they gotta pay was the credo right?

    How can they force him to sue Trump or anybody else? Genuinely curious.

    And he obviously doesn’t want to do so because he damn well knows that the skeletons that would be coming out of the closet would be exponentially worse for him than the ones we already know about.

      If in bankruptcy he can lose control over his financial matters. If the ones in charge of his estate (bankruptcy liquidators) think there is value in filing a suit, then they will as they are just trying to get all the funds they can to pay creditors.

          His estate, and in the court case his dealings would be fair game. This aspect of bankruptcy is not common but is a thing that can happen.

      If he doesn’t comply with the bankruptcy court, they won’t let him declare bankruptcy.
