Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"Mr Giuliani’s bankruptcy creditors had previously filed a motion to compel him to sell his condo — the former mayor said he needs it to keep him off the streets and recording his podcast"

he can always eat the rich

If you stick around Donald Trump long enough, you get free housing from the state anyway.

Oh, dear sweet Rutabaga! How will you pay your bills? You'll have to record your podcast from your car using your phone! This isn't what I wanted for you, Rutabaga! You flew too high! Too close to the sun! That must be why you're melting. Gasp! Just like Frosty the Snowman! Oh, poor Rutabaga, soon you'll be nothing more than a puddle of hair dye and glasses! Oh, how the world will miss you, Rutabaga!

Huh. Maybe we should have some kind of safety net to prevent that. Makes you think.

Ah well, too bad. Good luck finding a park bench without a useless arm rest in the middle to sleep on, Rudy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

It's ok he doesn't need a house. He can stay at the prison.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Shoulda thought of that before engaging in treason to protect an authoritarian psychopath.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

He thinks he's better than us. He won't get a shitty 1-bedroom apartment to be a sad-sack in; he has to be a sad-sack in an uptown condo.

You know what I haven't made in a while? A big plate of cheesy fries with jalapenos. Granted my doctor is probably happy about that fact but I am feeling the urge to make them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

I guess none of his relatives want to give him a couch or spare room to stay on for a while. Maybe he should think about why that is.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

Oh no!

Anyways...

[–] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago

Happens all the time dude. What makes you so special?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Why does this feel so deja vousey?

Crying it would make him homeless

Didn't this all happen a few months ago too?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Hah, yea, crying 'I'll be homeless!' only works when it's the last of your residences

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago

Oh no it's illegal to be homeless in Florida. Can't we put Rudy up in a nice prison somewhere to save him the trouble?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Man, imagine this shit stain of a person becoming homeless. Just picture him not having anything, having to dig through trash for something edible, getting sores and infections because he can't shower and has to sleep on a piece of cardboard, people knowing who he is and literally spitting on him as he's trying to beg for money or anything else.

We should use AI to make videos of this, make dreams come true.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I'd offer to run that through stable diffusion but I'm not willing to look at his face that much.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He's not far off from reaching his final form as Danny DeVito's Penguin.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He would have to become less grotesque to fill the part.

Also Roger Stone is kinda like the Adam West era penguin. Trump's gang is like Batman's rogues gallery except they're all various incarnations of the Penguin.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Eh, Kellyanne is a pretty good Scarecrow.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Now that you mention it, Tucker's insane laugh should get him into the gallery.

But maybe he should be the Riddler, because he's always "just asking questions."

You're saying this is a problem?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Literally a worry of most people in the country every day.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Plus for him, "homeless" is not owning a home. God forbid he has to pay rent, like homeless people do!!

Imagine the disconnect.

But of course, what can you expect from someone saying "trial by combat" in public with a serious face?

Really? Lol. Ah, in relation to all the Jan 6th BS, last year's news. Still, mfking crazy

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

I think everyone here is being truly unfair. It's for his podcast, and he has subscribers that are counting on him. He couldn't possibly record a podcast in an apartment. I'm sure if it weren't for that podcast though he would totally be willing to give this homeless thing a shot. Homeless are the ones who don't own property right?

Welcome to the rental market, shithead.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think he can pass the income requirement. :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Or the background check.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 7 months ago

Homeless Rudy? Well, its a good thing you've spent your entire life upholding and strengthening the social safety net for people that need help, like you do now, right? RIGHT?!

[–] [email protected] 53 points 7 months ago

Why's he worried - are homeless people treated poorly in Florida?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Oh how the turn tables

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Guess he should start praying on a larger stack of Trump bibles.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

By homeless he means he'll only have a few million in his bank account and he can't imagine living like that. 🤔

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Womps and Preyers 🙏

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago

Apartment in NY and a condo in Florida? And selling one is going to make him homeless? Let me get my tiny, tiny violin.

There are probably many hundreds of thousands of people in the US who have had to downsize -- not go homeless, just move to a smaller place. Ghouliani doesn't need 2 podcast studios, he doesn't need 2 homes, he doesn't even need one luxury home.

BOOTSTRAPS MOTHERFUCKER!!!!
