Has Rudy given a single interview that did not qualify as disastrous for Trump since he got on board? I guess it was inevitable that Trump would eventually clue in to how awful he is, but this comes across like an old man having the epiphany that his wife's cooking is terrible after being married to her for 40 years.

Rudy rules because his job is ostensibly to grab a shovel and dig Trump out of a hole, but he seems to believe thet the only way to reach daylight is to tunnel through the center of the earth and pop out on the other side.

As his TV lawyer, Rudy has actively increased Trump's legal danger and is indistinguishable from a double agent playing Trump for a fool.

terrorist ambulance posted:There is a better way to phrase it other than hypnotizing the world though honestly It's some pernicious bullshit that has no place being tolerated from a wet fart of an apartheid colony. gently caress them and their appropriation of "antisemitism" to mean "anyone calling us out for our atrocities." Every action, word or comparison relating to Israel is antisemitism because that's the only way to deflect away from the monstrous actions taking place there.

Arguably a couple of them could have been seen as useful in PR terms as essentially admitting to things before they were proven so as to lessen the blow when reported later. That's being awfully charitable outside of just a couple of occasions.

Harik posted:It's not like she said they were "poisoning the well" or "stabbing us in the back" or referred to the protocols of the elders of zion or any actual "Jewish trope" that exists in reality. The fact of the matter is it was NOT an antisemitic trope until 2012 when it had to become one because it was used against Israel. It is a significantly older and not as well known historical anti-semetic trope as well. I was honestly surprised that it was used in 2012. It used to be used as in "the Jewish people hypnotize your children and lead them away to eat them or drink their blood" like some sort of demented Pied Piper. I don't think Ilhan ever in the slightest sense of the meaning meant it in that way and she apologized and said she didn't realize that meaning existed. Enjoy your subpoena rear end in a top hat

The upside is that it gives them a lot of good exposure. And purple/red seat Democrats wouldn't want to end up on that committee themselves anyway because they are afraid of attacking Trump.

Pointing out AIPAC exists is really just dredging up the Zionist Occupied Government again, and don't get me started on criticism of Sheldon Alderson being simply because of the wealthy jew stereotype... gently caress, all the "pedo flight" attacks on trump (and clinton!) weren't because of child molestation but because Epstein was Jewish. I made up one of those, I've seen the other two in the wild With enough willful blindness you could find some historical context to condemn even the most carefully worded criticism and it's not fair to give Israel any benefit of the doubt whatsoever when their open MO is to cry antisemitism at literally everything.

Since Rudy is obviously in no way functioning as an actual lawyer but just some kind of TV publicity flack for Trump making his arguments for him, if he is considered a liability and not an asset doing that why retain him at all?

This white house is monumentally incompetent, and Trump doesn't like to "back down" i think its some combination of those two, where a more competent administration would've let him go the first time he got on TV and admitted to more crimes.

If Trump fires him, everything he has ever said will get even more scrutiny, and there's every possibility that without the third of an understanding that he gets from Trump's team, he could say even dumber and more incriminating stuff on the inevitable press loop.

There's probably a lot of prestige for Trump involved in him employing the ex-Mayor of New York City as his personal lawyer. It really might have taken this long for the shine to come off of that.
