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!

Well, right after the verdict he told live TV that the original allegations were true, so the amount of shit that can be force fed to this ghoul isn't nearly enough to make up for the defamation. So I say the court should give them rights to everything he owns, including his clothes. If in a charitable mood, he can stay under a blanket in a cardboard box on the streets of NYC - He's literally made his own bed there while mayor.

And of course:

Eat shit, rudy!

And be treated with the same dignity and respect that Rudy treated African Americans when he was the Mayor.

Out of the loop on this one, as I've never been to NYC. Is that to say be treated with kindness and respect?

........oh, I can see by your facial reaction that's not at all what you meant! That would suggest this Rudy fellow may not have been a very nice individual.

I've just been handed a letter.

Oh, this describes what kind of a mayor he was.

Oh.....oh my.......well that seems like the type of gentleman that can eat a buffet of dicks, before suffering a quite painful and humiliating death. Perhaps nonstop involuntarily shitting until your body runs out of natural fluids, so you start shitting blood, and eventually die of blood loss. All on a central park bench, as everyone ignores you.

I cannot wait for the day this shitbag loses it all

Pretty sure he already did lol. Trump owes him millions he'll never see.

The fucking planet will be better

Oh no, Rutabaga! How will you record your shitty podcast when you’re living on the streets and bumming around on the sofas of anyone who’ll take you in? Poor Rutabaga, try not to cry!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I'll allow it

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Other people giving Rudy stuff should also be warned that giving him material aid will open them up to having to reimburse the claimants. No free penthouse etc.
