Summary

Rudy Giuliani, facing a $150M defamation judgment for false claims against Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, erupted in court, declaring he’s unable to pay his bills due to frozen assets.

Giuliani, 80, has turned over some assets, including a car and access to his Manhattan apartment, but disputes over ownership documents persist.

A federal judge denied Giuliani’s request for extended deadlines and refused to delay a January trial that may decide if more assets, including his Florida home, will be surrendered.

Giuliani continues to deny wrongdoing.

Giuliani said he did not regret defaming Freeman and Moss.

“I regret the persecution I have been put through,” he said.

He has been made a victim of the consequences of his own actions. How unfair!

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 18 points 16 hours ago

That sounds like a you problem, Rudy...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 36 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I guess he's going to need a job.

I hear a certain landscaping company needs a spokesman...

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech 9 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

What's the joke? Astroturfing?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

How dare you! Four Seasons Total Landscaping only uses 100% authentic turf!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

And anyway, would a landscaping company really want someone as a spokesperson that seems to sweat crude oil? Seems like they would just poison all the lawns.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago

And what bills are those. Cause you gotta live within your means. Personal bankruptcy will help him get put from under contracts deemed too expensive.. so he can pay the people he defamed.

Giuliani said he did not regret defaming Freeman and Moss.“I regret the persecution I have been put through,” he said.

Some people just don't learn.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 144 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow that's rough!

Just make your coffee at home and should have no problem paying those bills.

That just looks like the first half of that crying woman pointing at the cat meme

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 99 points 1 day ago (4 children)
[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

And a meme is born

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Deserves own post 👏

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 23 hours ago

I bet the judge was a cat!

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Similar energy

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do they sell prints of these?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 23 hours ago

Save it and have it printed.
Personally, I'm getting it printed on a shower curtain. It just speaks to me.

I own it now!

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

I love that for him!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This article is full of gold. From Gauliani giving up the car, but not the title, and unlocking his apartment but not giving anyone the keys, to my favorite:

He also said the judge’s “background is serious leftwing Democrat … about as leftwing as you get” – even while acknowledging Liman was nominated by Trump.

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sucks to suck, bitch.

Get a job at Walmart.

Is that my pillow guy hiring geriatric fluffers?

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago

Ick, ugh, 🤮

I can't see through all the tears i'm shedding for this fuckin' guy

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 52 points 1 day ago

Giuliani pushed the NYC police to arrest dangerous fare jumpers and squeegee men back in the day. The judge should give him the same 'zero tolerance' treatment he gave those criminals.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh no you became an average Joe. Welcome to the club motherfucker

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if Rudy can dodge a wrench

Fingers crossed he can't

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Some people have to learn to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! Isn't that the conservative way? Bootstraps, Giuliani, bootstraps!

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 16 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Its funny, because that is originally a phrase created to point out how absurd that ideology is, but it got unironically taken by those too dumb to realise its physically impossible.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It comes from a story about baron Munchausen

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Is that before or after he fucked the Queen of the Moon?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 15 hours ago

Ah, that's why there's 'Moon' in his surname (well, sort of)

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 34 points 1 day ago

If you cannot pay the fine, do not do the crime.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Poor Rudy. Maybe try the Alpha Males University? With the right mindset, if you make your bed and invest in crypto, you should be rich in a matter of days .

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Rudy will lead the resistance (R-USA) after he doesn't get a cabinet pick-n-pardon soon.
