Remember that Trump is the first president in 40 years or something not to start a new ground war. Maybe he should be lauded for that?
In spite of a load of rhetoric trying that very thing including threatening to bomb cultural sites in Iran which would have been war crimes.
Looks like they’re trying to distance themselves from/throw Rudy under the bus

Could be risky, he will have a serious amount of dirt on Trump.
Not aware that for example Kennedy started a ground war?
He's the guy that introduced U.S. combat troops into Vietnam as "advisors". Lyndon Johnson just kept on with Kennedy's policy.
Did Obama actually start any new ground wars or just keep trying to stabilize the Middle Eastern inferno that was already raging?

Yes but he's a confused and deluded old fool. Trump is now asking his people not to pay RG's $20,000 per day legal fees because it got him nowhere and, separately, the New York State Bar is launching an inquiry about removing RG from its membership.
Either way, RG is finished and him coming up with some "dirt on Trump" isn't exactly news nor is it going to save his shredded reputation. The entire world has dirt on Trump, much of it dirt that Trump shovelled there himself.
"Remember that Trump is the first president in 40 years or something not to start a new ground war. Maybe he should be lauded for that?"
The plan was for him to start a war in 2023, the year before the election and after he had stoked up racial tensions in the US to levels worse than the 60's.
Then you would have seen the proper coup. He would have hoped to have more of 'his generals' in place by then. The Police would be even more in his pocket and the militias would be larger than they are now and even more angry.
The Police would be even more in his pocket
And the courts.
Unrelated, has anyone mentioned Rep gains in control of redistricting yet?
I'm not sure if Giuliani actually said this, but it's worrying that it wouldn't be surprising if he did.

I am looking forward to Putin leaking his dirt on Trump - prostitutes in a classic honey trap is the rumour
He’s the guy that introduced U.S. combat troops into Vietnam as “advisors”. Lyndon Johnson just kept on with Kennedy’s policy.
This isn't correct, the ground war started with the introduction of ground troops in 1965. LBJ did not continue Kennedy's policy and there was a notable shift after the first year. The Gulf of Tonkin incident happened after Kennedy's death as well. But since we live in a post truth era crack on.

Not likely since it would damage the ability to blackmail others if you release the goods as soon as the person is no longer useful.
I think he did actually say it :-/
Is he just trolling us? The modern world is scary and confusing.
Either way, RG is finished and him coming up with some “dirt on Trump” isn’t exactly news nor is it going to save his shredded reputation.
Someone on twitter made the rather good point in that RG would be able to get the best book deal ever. I doubt he would be short on cash.
"“I was referencing the kind of trial that took place for Tyrion in that very famous documentary about fictitious medieval England,” Mr Giuliani said on Tuesday."
He thinks it's a documentary, like our own Dominic Raab. If they both like documentaries so much maybe they should hunker down with a few episodes of the World at War.
LBJ did not continue Kennedy’s policy
The "Domino Theory" dated back to the Eisenhower administration. Kennedy also believed in it and sent thousands of U.S. troops as "advisors" because it was feared that South Vietnam falling to communism would lead to all of S.E. Asia falling. Johnson escalated it into a major conflict, but the first U.S. troops were deployed before he took office.
He thinks it’s a documentary
No, he doesn't. It's obviously a tongue-in-cheek description that he even calls fictitious.
Whilst humour has been a useful tool in combating fascism, Rudy's influence is clearly waning. Continuing to portray him as a clown character only undermines the severity of his very real actions. We shouldn't be gleefully mocking him and looking for ways to twist his words to make him seem silly. We should hold him accountable for the lies he's told and the destruction he's caused.
It also misses the real story that Rudy is clearly trying to backtrack and weasel his way out of a statement that knows may be construed as sedition when his day in the dock comes.
We should hold him accountable for the lies he’s told and the destruction he’s caused.
Yes. And also mock him ruthlessly for being a hopeless ****up.
Superficial,
Whoosh.
If you look on thedonald.win they all seem to love him more than ever, despite the fact he's hyped many of them up to commit federal crimes then thrown them under a bus when it didn't work out.
Truly a cult.
RobHilton, I was thinking just yesterday that Trump's model for himself is perhaps Goldfinger.
Jim Jones.
Interesting observations on how the FIB will try to undermine the right wing groups by getting them to spy on each other. Kind of an extension of the 'do you want a pardon? sting.
Also some imteresting observations on how the security services miss calculate the dangers posed by military veterans.
Goldfinger was actually pretty effective though. I mean, he was actually rich, had a plan, carried it through. He only failed because of Bond appealing to Pussy Galore's better nature*.
I'm trying to think of a suitable analog to Trump in a Bond villain and the only one that came to mind was Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies. He was all about ego and self and controlling the narrative.

Why? Everyone knows he cheated on his wife with Stormy Daniels. Trump and his supporters don't care.
This history lesson is great but a bit off-topic. Remember that Trump is the first president in 40 years or something not to start a new ground war. Maybe he should be lauded for that?
Except in the USA.
Rudy has dirt on Trump?
Well maybe sexual harassment if this video is to be believed:

(For those not into TikTok, it’s Trump motorboating Giuliani in drag. Obviously 😳)
Pass the mind bleach.
Don't all little boys play at dressing up?
Turns out a President Elect can ask someone to perform at their inauguration ..... and they'll say yes.
I would rather a European style socially responsible democracy be the leading world light, rather than Americas selfish bigotry.
Of course you would - why do you think Putin interferes in elections in ways that favour nationalistic separatism both in the US, in Europe and even within the UK

saucy

Wonder no longer! The evidence speaks for itself...
All lifted from
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auric_Goldfinger
He:
Cheated at golf
Didn't pay taxes
Named his companies after himself
Was obsessed with gold (maybe he'd have a gold toilet or elevator)
Fancies himself an expert pistol shot who never misses
Is fat and obnoxious
Has German heritage
Has an interest in Nazis
Is a sadist
Has access to atomic weapons
Plans to rob the USA
When the flaws in his plans are pointed out to him he responds only with a vague assurance that he has prepared solutions for these problems
Is investigated by the FBI
Plans to flee to the USSR
China stands to gain massive economic advantage due to his actions

The guy Goldfinger was possibly based on - called, err... Goldfinger
Goldfinger rose to prominence in England as a designer of tower blocks.
Although Goldfinger enjoyed living in his own buildings, they were unpopular among both the public...
Goldfinger was known as a humourless man given to notorious rages. He sometimes fired his assistants if they were inappropriately jocular, and once forcibly ejected two prospective clients for imposing restrictions on his design.
The other guy Goldfinger was possibly based on:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_W._Engelhard_Jr
Had a German American father, from whom he inherited the family business
Had horses named Alley Fighter and Red Reality
Ran for New Jersey State Senate against Malcolm Forbes in the "Battle of the Billionaires" (Trumpleton fought Vince McMahon in "Battle of the Billionaires" at Wrestlemania 23. The claimed attendance of which was disputed)
Additional:
The guy who played Goldfinger had been a member of the Nazi Party
The Kraken did not just wake - The Kraken IS woke 🤗🤗
Star witness (alleging vote fraud) deposition from behind the scenes!
Tipoff: Around 7 mins in is, well. Stunning. No wonder the Dems faked an insurrection. I’m getting me unwoken.
^ 99% legit for sure, may as well throw Trump the keys to the Whitehouse now with such damning evidence on video, for all to see with our own eyes.
Is she stoned? Or suffering from a loss of brain cells due to a recent blow to the head?
Trumpleton fought Vince McMahon in “Battle of the Billionaires” at Wrestlemania 23.
Trump had a wrestling match? That’s the only thing that has surprised me that from the last 131 pages.

Sort of.
In my eyes it's his greatest achievement 😁
That “testimony” video is nuts. Even taking into account the editing.
Whens her defamation lawsuit likely to happen?
Is she stoned? Or suffering from a loss of brain cells due to a recent blow to the head?
I guessed meth, or at best abusing prescription drugs
.
Yeah... umm... I watched about 30 seconds from this point and, was ummmm... you know ummm...
Dominion has already made clear she was employed as an operator, for one day. I was a computer operator in Bristol in my late teens. Didn't have a clue about the business process or what was going on. My job was to load paper and clear jams.
With Biden's $1.9 trillion package to address COVID and the economy, if this the difference between dems and republicans (i.e. a dem president gets more involved in policy) or did Trump just do nothing, other than send Mnuchin and co to negotiate stuff?
Feel a bit sorry for her. She is clearly struggling with 'personal issues', to put it mildly, and obviously isn't bright enough to realise what level of scrutiny she was signing up for. There are a lot of people out there whose personality defects will keep them digging the hole and continue trying to support whatever outrageous statement they made earlier, rather than realise they are waaay over their heads.
The Republicans are now compaing Donny to Jesus?
Sometimes Twitter really comes up ... erm... Trumps
Sort of.
In my eyes it’s his greatest achievement
Reminds me of the story about Vince McMann getting blown up as part of the 'kayfabe' storyline on a wrestling broadcast and Trump calling the WWE office to check if he was ok because Trump thought it was real.
I know that they've arrested a significant number of the 'faces of the riot' now. Ie those whose picture became a meme etc
Does anybody know if that old lady with her sippy cup was arrested? She was my 5th or 6th favourite image 😂
