Rudy Giuliani screwed up his professional license in 2021. This is the year of his financial ruin. Next year could end with him in prison.

Rudy Giuliani, the disgraced politician once known as “America’s Mayor” and now known as a punchline, is about to face the most disastrous court ruling of his life—and it will only get worse from there.

Giuliani is poised to get hit with a multimillion dollar ruling against him in D.C. over his baseless accusations of election fraud against two poll workers. After that civil trial concludes, he’ll turn around and begin preparing for a criminal trial in Atlanta, where he’s facing many of the same racketeering charges he once wielded as a federal prosecutor against mobsters in New York. And throughout it all, Giuliani has a long list of creditors, from former associates to contractors, who are also hounding him for money.

Honestly, I'd rather hear about it when it actually happens. I'm getting tired of all this teaser justice headline crap.

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

I agree, but then there are the cases that go under the public radar and without scrutiny something shady invariably swings the decision towards evil. Public attention may not do much of anything, but I'd rather err on the side of too much vs too little just in case

I guess the good news for him is he won't be able to pay millions of dollars from a jail cell. :)

I wonder if they’d be allowed to do an OF page.

You know. To earn some cash for sardines and stuff.

Weird how they always end up worse off than him.

Not weird at all. They’re just too fucking stupid to realize it.

Damn, I didn't know about this original version. I only knew the Sublime version and the Specials version. Thanks for posting. Love this song. Damn Amy Winehouse, too.

What would be terrible is if he ends up in prison, but donnie does not. Not that I think Roodles should not go to prison, mind you.

Beginning? This is at least the midpoint.
