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.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. 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

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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.

That's all the rules!

There's good reason to believe he's using the charity Tunnels to Towers to squirrel away $16k a month to a self-titled LLC. Oldest grift in the book: embezzling from charity so you don't have to quit drinking! Seriously though, he looks like he has suffered severely from his support of these fascist fucks, and it's very clear how little he has to show for it. Wish some folks would look at him and realize that's where they're headed: left in a ditch to rot.

If only they would have gone after donvict as much as they went after his minions.

Of course he does. He’s probably full of shit though. Man, I hate how I hear people feeling bad for this clown as if going down to like 2 million dollars is ruining the man. I would fucking retire if I had that much, and people act like the guy is going to become homeless or some shit.

Seriously, give me 2 mil and I'll never work again a day in my life. Absolutely life changing and this dude is being treated like some victim. Boo fucking hoo.

“I was holding it so it didn’t get lost,” he said. “I felt like it could get lost if it was turned over.”

When the judge asked if he understood that the watch was required to be turned over, he said he “wasn’t trying to hide it from anyone” and would give it up “if you can assure me you’ll put it in a safe place.”

Shit's not yours anymore, Rudy. They can Sell it or smash it or do whatever the fuck they want with it. Is he really this stupid? The judge really needs to toss him in jail for a few days or something.

Dementia, man. Giuliani has completely checked out of reality.

[–] CharlesDarwin 12 points 5 days ago

Can they just throw him in prison in the meantime?

[–] Red_October 7 points 5 days ago

Well he would, wouldn't he?
