    Quick history lesson.

    After he won the election, but before being sworn in, Rudy was on scene when a car hit a child.

    Rudy abused the ambulance crew, who wanted to take the victim to the nearest hospital, against the mother’s wishes.

    Rudy won, and then tried to play off that he’d “rescued” the kid, when in fact he’d put the kid’s health at risk.

    Rudy is, was, and will always be a pig.

      It was funny seeing him Find Out after Fucking Around with them, but it’s considerably less funny now that it’s Truth Social 2.0

        Yeah it was looking like Twitter was going to collapse for a few months… But now it’s obviously not going to.

        Having the most money in the world helps with even the worst businesses, unfortunately.

        • It kills me because so many of my peers devote so much time, love, and energy into community-based businesses that struggle to stay afloat. Meanwhile these fuckers stay enriched while running absolutely despicable businesses, only because they have so much seed money to start with.

      I bet the reason Gulliani doesn’t want to sue Trump isn’t loyalty. It’s because he knows, deep down, that any attack on Trump is going to be seen by the MAGA hats as a threat. Nuance isn’t their specialty.

      Gulliani knows he’s going to get death threats if his creditors sue Trump.

    I fucking hate how these assholes can run around with millions in debt, yet some average Joe will be in prison because they can’t pay a 500$ fine…

    There’s no blood in the Trump turnip. If Giuliani is smart he’ll wait until the RNC commits to covering all Trump’s legal bills and debts. So, like, a week or so?

    Lmao that is honestly kinda fuckin’ hilarious. Doesn’t that effectively mean that he’s forced to pay the legal bills of his creditors, thus only increasing his debt?

    Delicious.

    Ofcourse, you cannot claim you have no money and then have a lot of outstanding debts you can cash.

    Also, they gotta pay was the credo right?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Now, Mr Guiliani’s creditors are exploring multiple avenues to obtain what they are owed, including forcing him to possibly sue the Trump campaign, and/or the Republican National Committee, according to the source close to the matter.

    Mr Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2023 after a colossal defamation verdict that ordered the man formerly known as “America’s Mayor” to pay more than $148m to a pair of election workers he falsely accused of manipulating votes in Georgia.

    He also faces lawsuits and collections from more than a dozen other parties, including the IRS and city agencies, Dominion Voting Systems, Hunter Biden, and Noelle Dunphy, a former employee who accused him of sexual assault.

    Shortly before his bankruptcy hearing last month, Mr Giuliani listed his assets and debts in a court filing and included a “possible claim for unpaid legal fees against Donald J Trump” for an undetermined amount.

    If they believe the claims are “viable” – like the one listed regarding Mr Trump – the committee essentially can “step into the shoes” of the debtor, and can file a lawsuit, try to negotiate a settlement, or pressure him to sue, Ms Hines told The Independent.

    Without legal action, creditors are scrambling to get back what they are owed, with Mr Giuliani reporting assets worth more than $10m — including two properties each valued in the millions, a Mercedes-Benz, and a signed Joe diMaggio shirt — that he could try to sell.

    How can they force him to sue Trump or anybody else? Genuinely curious.

    And he obviously doesn’t want to do so because he damn well knows that the skeletons that would be coming out of the closet would be exponentially worse for him than the ones we already know about.

      If in bankruptcy he can lose control over his financial matters. If the ones in charge of his estate (bankruptcy liquidators) think there is value in filing a suit, then they will as they are just trying to get all the funds they can to pay creditors.

          His estate, and in the court case his dealings would be fair game. This aspect of bankruptcy is not common but is a thing that can happen.
