Stopped reading at:

Rudy Giuliani Yanked Off Trump

It goes on to say that they did this in public while recording themselves.

I'm picturing Seth Meyers doing his Rudy impression and saying, "how do you want it, boss? Fast or slow?"

Glad I’m not the only one who saw that

I was living in NYC when he was Mayor. He was a bully who happily arrested the homeless and screwed over honest city workers to make himself look tough.

He could have lived out his life as 'America's Mayor' but chose to use Donnie to become even more important.

This is what karma looks like, kids.

He was legit at addressing organized crime in the mid-80s though. The mob was bad, at least I can say it was in my area. Every mom and pop and bodega was paying protection money before he took them down with RICO law.

Then he became the militant menace you’re talking about, and heavily enforced Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” crack campaign by encouraging the NYPD to harass black people.

After that, he helped the Sacklers stave off conviction for single-handedly causing the opioid epidemic.

Then he went to work for Trump. It’s been a long downhill slide for Rudy.

For those not from the Northeast USA. The way Rudy jumped from being a Federal Prosecutor to NYC Mayor was by going after a Queens, NY politician named Donald Manes. Rudy got the evidence to convict Manes from a series of news stories written by Far Left news reporter Jimmy Breslin. Breslin always hated that he'd helped Rudy become Mayor.

Jimmy was a fascinating guy, and deserves to be better known.

Nobody knows more about yanking off trump than Rudy Giuliani

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago

“This is a major screwing!” Giuliani retorted.

Huh. That’s a new sentence.

Also:

“WABC’s decision comes at a very suspicious time, just months before the 2024 election, and just as John and WABC continue to be pressured by Dominion Voting Systems and the Biden regime’s lawyers.”

So Dominion is now all-powerful? Good to know.

John Catsimatidis doesn't want to be sued for a billion dollars.
