    It took Jon Stewart shining a light and fighting alongside the 9/11 responders to get republicans in Congress to do the right thing and cover their heathcare costs.

    I don’t think Jon will do that for this walking Anal Fissure.

    This is probably a delay tactic. But he’s also old as shit and I think a cigar smoker so it very well could be COPD.

        Well the bankruptcy was actually evidence to me that this is a delay tactic. But idk he also owes a lot of people a lot of money.

          He asked Trump to pay for his defense attorney and Trump said no. I think he’s in the hole.

    …as they pleaded with a bankruptcy judge not to let someone else take over his finances.

    Just in case anybody was wondering what legal consequence he was trying to weasel out of.

    "Am I going to fight this case until I die? Yeah,” Giuliani said. “I’d rather die poor with my principles than cave in to a destruction of my country that I love so much.”

    Da fuq is he talking about?

      The dumbfuck thinks he’s actually important and is trying to cosplay as some kind of persecuted martyr.

    As far as I know, Rudy did not show up at a single funeral held for any victim of the 9/11 disease.

    Most of the ‘Ground Zero’ workers were there without respirators because George W. Bush’s people claimed the air was safe.

      It’s interesting that even now whenever there are major fires or explosions officials continue to make claims that the air is safe. I feel like out of everything that’s happened in the US that 9/11 would have taught us about the dangers of fires and explosions…but here we are. (I would have said everything that’s happened in the world but we all know that the US doesn’t learn anything from international events)

        New York City didn’t learn anything. The biggest change after 9/11 was that the Fire Department and the Police each sent one captain to sit in the other’s headquarters. Too much toxic pride to actually put them together under one roof. And don’t get me started on the patchwork quilt that is EMS.

    Unless it’s some kind of disease that takes over your brain and involuntarily makes you a bullshit artist, I don’t see how this is relevant to anything.

    What does that have to do with him being a crook? All I care about when he is mentioned is when will he go to jail where he belongs?
