    Trump is being a HUGE crybaby about Rudy now:

    “Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states. They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani’s moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election.”

    Lads I don’t think Rudy is getting a pardon :pac: the irony is so delicious though.

    Oh look the resident racist is back giving out about black people calling a white supremacist what he is.

    Are you accusing me of being a racist?

    As the father of a child "of colour" I'd like you to apologise immediately.

    That's disgusting.

    I have an issue with people using race as a stick to beat people with.

    That’s right, everyone knows people of color cannot be racist.

    Oh they can. I am not.

    I was accused of being the "resident racist".

    I would like a retraction and an apology.

    I am not a racist.

    Trump has acted disgracefully. That doesn't mean that race baiting arseholes aren't acting disgustingly too.

    You can condemn Trump and condemn race baiting without equivocation or comparison between them.

    Are you adopted? How does that work

    And I do.

    I do take offence at being called "resident racist" for doing so.

    I can brush off many insults, but I won't be called a racist.

    Fair point. I'd just like a baseless accusation of being a racist to be taken back.

    It's really not fair or honest.

    I admit my call was a little formal.

    It hurts his brand which he cares about.

    If criminally convicted, and he was to try and write or talk about the events surrounding it and makes any money from doing so, I think the son of sam style laws in various states would also leave him open to civil suits or any profits handed over to the government in some cases as part of plea bargains.

    He's got to find a publisher first - and I don't think he'll be able to afford to vanity publish once the tax guys are through with him and his businesses have tanked.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    The move to impeach Trump, and the subsequent address of a more conciliatory tone than normal gives me some degree of hope that his cough has been softened and he'll keep quiet in the coming days.

    Yea no. He will go out in Trump style. I still fully expect a wave of obscene pardons not related to the article of impeachment

    Snapchat has banned Trump, don't know why....

    I don't understand why someone as selfish as him is motivated to pardon anyone.

    I'd say his kids were in his ear saying he was going to lose his Presidential perks, and see his business alienated massively were he to continue in the same vein.

    It probably will be used by Republicans to justify their voting not to convict him in the impeachment trial.

    What's very noticeable is the style where he uses a teleprompter for what he is being given something to say vs his own real thoughts. So the conciliatory tone is obviously looking very fake.

    The son of John Adams (easily my favorite founder, who warned us of the death spiral of the two party system) President John Quincy Adams, said, “I hold myself, so long as I have the breath of life in my body, amenable to impeachment by this House for everything I did during the time I held any public office.”

    https://twitter.com/asfleischman/status/1349552857259913217?s=21

    In 1876 the same contemptible year as the Tilden/Hayes race, Secretary of War William Belknap was impeached after he left office: upon being outed for accepting monetary emoluments (bribes) in exchange for contracts, Belknap ran over to the White House to resign, thinking that he could escape impeachment’s consequences. The Congress didn’t see it this way, and they impeached him anyway, despite not quite getting the 2/3rds of the Senate to convict him (imagine that, partisan politics)

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/01/13/impeachment-blount-belknap-trump/

    Just keep this in mind as the rhetoric pivots to whether a Senate trial is moot or unconstitutional or unprecedented. It appears to be neither of the 3.

    I'd love it to be true... Trump is well known to default on payments and sooner or later Trump will throw you under a bus.

    But this sounds too good be true. Rudy is one of the people can't afford to lose right now, surely?

    It’s trump, so it’s definitely true.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭uncleoswald


    Rudy needs Trump more than Trump needs Rudy.
    True. And if Trump sees Rudy as a failure then he'll definitely turn on him, but I would have thought Rudy has too much on Trump to risk getting tossed aside.

    Maybe Trump really just can't afford to pay him.
