I don't want to get drawn into writing an essay, but I'll try to keep it brief. Giuilani ran for the Republican Presidential ticket in 2008. He was briefly the frontrunner, based almost entirely on his image as 'America's Mayor', an image he garnered post 9/11. His run as favourite was pretty brief and was assassinated by a now famous barb by Joe Biden, who was himself in the running for the Democratic nomination.

 

'Giuliani is "probably the most underqualified man since George Bush to seek the presidency," he says. Rudy Giuliani - there's only three things he [needs] to make ... a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11.'

 

From what I can gather, he spent between 2008-2016 working as a consultant and partner in his own private firm, making a fair sum of money. He reemerged properly on cable news in 2016 as a staunch defender of Trump, even sticking by his old friend in the aftermath of the infamous "pussy tape".

 

He was widely thought to be pushing for a serious portfolio in the administration and, along with Chris Christie, was thought to be one of Trump's preferred choices for Attorney General. This was quickly nixed as both would never be able to be confirmed in the Senate. Since then, he has continued to make appearances on television defending Trump in more and more outlandish ways and he is widely cited to have acted in a personal activity for Trump in enacting the president's dirty diplomatic deeds, most notably in the Ukraine affair.

 

The recent spotlight on brutality and racial prejudice within the police force has thrown into focus his record as mayor of New York City in the 1990s where 'stop and frisk', widely touted in conservative circles for years as the panacea to New York's longstanding crime problem, was in practice a systematic method of brutal discrimination against the city's ethnic minority population.

 

Doubt has now been cast over his 9/11 heroics; I'll leave the following link below for anyone who cares to watch to make their own assessment.

I'm not sure why I wrote this like I'm a New York Times reporter, but hopefully it makes sense.

Appreciate that. 
 

But what made solid Democrats vote for him in the first place? I was working for a foster care agency covering the Bronx and Brooklyn, the directors of it were as close to socialist as you can get in the US and they all voted Rudy.

He was the US Att for the Southern District - he also did Boesky for insider trading during that time. Ironically he is now being investigated by the Southern District for the Ukraine money trail.

 

Bit of a scumbag when it comes to women as well.

Is he on his third or fourth wife now?

The Dems had gone through years of corruption cases under Koch. Dinkins narrowly beat Giuliani the first time around. Crown Heights doomed Dinkins (although he had the crime rate going down well before Rudy took office).

Split from his third as of 2019. His first wife was also his second cousin.

Meanwhile, back in Trump lar lar land.

I couldn’t find the American politics thread so I’ll put this here...

 

I’m interested to know what the American posters on here think happened to Rudy Guiliani? 
 

When I was living in NY he was pretty well thought of and you’d constantly hear comments of ‘I’ve never voted Republican in my life but I voted for Rudy’. 
 

Has he had some kind of breakdown or was he always a cunt who just reduced the murder rate and taxes? 

Went to Chelsea and wasn't as good. Still good. But not as good.

On Wednesday, the President fumed at a plan announced recently by officials in New York City to paint the phrase "Black Lives Matter" in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. It would be the second time the words appeared in large letters outside one of Trump's homes; Washington's mayor had the term painted in large yellow letters on a street near the White House last month.

 

"@NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue."

 

The President, who has resisted calls condemn white nationalists, went on to call the words "Black Lives Matter" a "symbol of hate" and suggested that police officers could block the work: "Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won't let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York's greatest street.

He's a fucking lunatic.

 

Broadway pisses all over 5th Avenue.

Giuilani was always a cunt. Made his name as a tough prosecuter in mafia trials and by that I mean let every other cunt do the work before pulling strings to be in the right place to replace those that did the work and take credit. Not to mention the luck of Rico laws coming into force. Add to that 9/11. 

[SasaS]

Rico really gets around a lot.

It's a disgrace that Murdoch and Fox don't get held to account for enabling him.

He started as a Democrat though, volunteered for them, was possibly paid to work for them iirc and was even supported by the liberal party in at least one of his Mayoral elections. 
 

How do you get from there to being Trumps pussy?

Same way as Trump did. 

They are the easiest to manipulate. Start banging on about the second ammendment, God and all the other biggoted shite and they vote

Well, Trump was a Democrat during that time as well and many years after.

 

We both know the answer - money.

He holds more power than those that are supposed to govern him. Trump may have a poke at Fox every now and again, but knows who the boss is.

Trump is pining for the days he and Roger used to do it the old fashioned way - grab 'em by the pussy.

Yup, I hope he continues to unravel over the next 7 months.

It wasn't Fox or Murdoch who put Hillary up against him.

Yeah, same issue as the Labour Party have in the UK, centrists driving the narrative.

[Sugar Ape]

Is this actually real?

 

And coming after posting 88 ads on Facebook which got removed, 88 associated with Hitler as we know.

Why do you think that is?  Genuine question.

I love Nazi symbology, mostly borrowed from elsewhere. The worst thing Hitler ever did was to make these logos tougher to pull off.
