Pakled posted:How on Earth did Rudy Giuliani go from America's premiere establishment Republican in 2008 to whatever the hell he is today If we're talking about the past decade, genuine and actual mental degredation stemming possibly from a brain injury. He wasn't in the best of shape even previously, but he took a fall some years back that doesn't really seem to have been treated or examined properly and ever since, he's become increasingly erratic. If you can get past the schadenfreude, it's actually a bit sad and kind of another indictment of our health system and our attitudes toward health - here is a man who is very obviously not well and would benefit tremendously from supervision, and he's out there doing crimes because time and injury have basically robbed him of all impulse control but no one wants to acknowledge this or admit that he could be suffering from mental decline. So he just gets to self-destruct in public in embarrassing fashion. (though jesus god there's so much schadenfreude involved which doesn't help him at all)

Click my post history if you want to read more about rudy in between some occasional shitposts, but tldr is that no, it's not sad. Rudy is a huge piece of poo poo in his personal life even before everything and gently caress him he deserves every bad thing he brings upon himself. For as much of a piece of poo poo narcissist as trump is, his family still talks to him. Rudy's entirely living family is estranged from him from all of his marriages, too Rudy is probably a bigger narcissist than trump

Also if you have to argue the semantics of quid-pro-quo vs. bribes, or constantly ask for clarifications.... maybe you should learn how to google and stop spouting talking points and disinformation that fascists are spouting right now. We see through your bullshit charade and ignorance.

I have to think the number of times a day he finds himself looking at the bottom of a glass isn't helping either.

quid pro quo isn't just bribery, it's the most categorically undeniable form of bribery. US has really, really restrictive laws about what bribery can be prosecuted and stuff that you could never get away with in most countries is entirely legal here. Quid pro quo as a requirement basically limits bribery prosecutions to people who are too profoundly stupid to not launder their bribes through an intermediary or a charity or a family member as is done with 99% of bribes in the US Just giving out the documents that substantiate the claims against you really is a novel move in presidential responses to impeachment investigations, but I'm liking it Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Sep 27, 2019 |

I guess you could say he's in "Wait and see" mode, but honestly if you can't form an opinion on the obvious corruption in the white house by now, you're just dodging the question.

I read about this and this guy is basically saying “I support opening an inquiry, but I would not vote to impeach yet.” It is basically what everyone should be saying. No one wants a vote this week. There are a half dozen hearings scheduled for next week, plus Barr and Giuliani potentially later.

bobjr posted:So in the situation where Trump is out of commission for the next election, how would those states that got rid of their GOP primaries work then? From forty pages and nine years ago but everything would just go down at the national convention where the actual nomination takes place anyway. Primaries aren't really required except to judge the partisan voter's interests.

Rudy is a huge piece of poo poo in his personal life even before everything and gently caress him he deserves every bad thing he brings upon himself. I mean that's what I meant by the immense schadenfreude, it's not at all hard to argue that Giuliani brought just about all of this upon himself. He's been a hideous piece of poo poo for decades, going back to even when I was a small child thirty years ago, and the complete lack of care he's getting is very much a case of karma coming back around.

If GOP folks finally turn on Trump I'm gonna assume that it'll suddenly go QUICK as they'll want to flush the toilet and get a guy into the 2020 campaign asap. I'm almost more nervous for whoever the GOP fields in a post-Trump America...

eke out posted:just 100k is nothing though for the services rudy has providing, no matter how hilariously bad they have been. the real payment has to be something else or its just an installment. Like the Stormy Daniels payments were. Looks like we're gonna need to see Rudy's tax returns too. And probably Mulkasey's too, to see where that 100k came from.
