That top comment cracks me up

No one should be applauding what has happened to Trump or his associates. Our country is so divided that we should all be sure we are standing for the "traditional" rule of law and we should not be accepting any ruling that has politicized the law no matter what side of the political spectrum we are associated with.

Lmao

It has to be right?! A large portion of that generation lacks fundamental critical thinking and empathy for others.

"traditional" rule of law

Wherein white men aren’t held to account and you can buy your own justice with enough money.

Wherein women who are victims are told to shut up lest their own reputations are ruined for accusing any white men.

Yeah. That’s what we should strive for. /hard S

Rudy wanted to be known as a "law and order" mayor who was going to clean up New York by strictly enforcing every law. He went after beggars and homeless folks as if they were Mafia dons. He had zero problems with humiliating hard working city workers when he could make himself look good. Now he's bankrupt because he thought he could libel election workers.

He could have rested on his unearned laurels as a 9/11 hero, but his ego forced him to suck up to Donald Trump.

Enjoy the consequences of your own actions.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 67 points 7 months ago

Note that everyone Rudy enforced the law on was middle class and lower, not the wealthy.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 53 points 7 months ago

There have been hundreds of people who died of '9/11 Disease.' People worked at the Ground Zero pit for months without respirators because the Bush EPA claimed the air was safe. Rudy did nothing for those folks, and as far as I know, didn't attend a single funeral.

Jon Stewart for President.

If he had actually enforced the law while he was mayor of NY, Trump would have gone down long ago

Have you tried not being a traitorous, law-breaking asshole Rudy? Cause that seems to work fine for me. 🤷

Let's be fair here, it works okay.

I'd love to see a waterbear playing a violin between it's little fingers.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Does it bug anyone else that this is a cello?

Not picking on you at all. I’ve seen this meme a few times on Lemmy. I mean I still think it’s funny.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

I guess I didn't look that close. It definitely does look like a cello on closer inspection. Also, I've now noticed the WB is playing the bow below the bridge, and which would make some terrible music (aka noise).

Crazy, it's almost as if the people who they fucked over are taking legal action against them.

Mind blown, how did this happen!?

Awwwww is the widdle insurrectionist upset? Yes he is!

[-] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 24 points 7 months ago

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe it for one second. The rich have numerous ways to hide money.

What if, and hear me out, he’s got plenty of money stashed away around the world, he just doesn’t want to spend it. Instead, he wants to file bankruptcy to make it go away, or someone else to bail him out with their money so he doesn’t have to spend his. It’s not like he doesn’t have a well proven track record of being a liar and a fraud.

Thanks for making nightmare world, guiliani. We are all as thrilled as you are.

Have a heart attack and die then you shriveled turd.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 23 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Good. Fuck this paedophile fascist and all his fascist buddies.

I wish hell was real so he could rot in it, but I’ll settle for the rest of his life being ruined, his fortunes forfeit, and hopefully some jail time.

I also urge any of the young women he’s abused to come forward. I know that’s very hard, believe me, but this bastard needs to be held to account in every way possible. You will have support.

[-] lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee 23 points 7 months ago

The rest of us are also trapped in a nightmare world that Rudy helped create. Thanks Rudy!

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 19 points 7 months ago

The sooner you stroke out, the sooner it will all be over, traitor.

Have another $40 glass of Mar-a-Lago watered down booze, Rudy.

Nooooooo! He was America’s Mayor. Say it isn’t so!

I can’t imagine anyone having sympathy for this clown.

Get fucked Rudy.

The definition of ‘woke’ is ‘having social empathy’ so no, he’s entirely incapable of that.

couldn't have said it better myself, DJ from the comment section. the fact that Giuliani continues to say things like the "Biden regmie" to trick conservative supporters is disgusting, but what else is someone like him going to do when they are this desperate..

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 16 points 7 months ago

Rudy says 'Biden regime' because he is a Russian stooge and Putin loves calling his opposition a regime. Just doing the bidding of his master.

[-] maynarkh@feddit.nl 7 points 7 months ago

Per Wikipedia:

In politics, a regime (also "régime") is the form of government or the set of rules, cultural or social norms, etc., that regulate the operation of a government or institution and its interactions with society. The two broad categories of regimes that appear in most literature are democratic and autocratic.

So there is of course a "regime" ruling the US, it's mostly democratic system that Biden, and as of yet Trump is also part of. Anyone outside of that regime wants serious changes about how the US is led, and is not participating in the current system - where the only real rule is that change in leadership is at least supposed to be by the people and bloodless. Point is, if you are not part of the "Biden regime", which is basically the democratic system the US has, you are calling for a violent overthrow of it by a minority.

Words should have meaning, and he should definitely be called out on publicly supporting sedition.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

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.
