I'm not sure where to put this but here is as good as anywhere.  There's a special on the Four Seasons Landscaping business and the problems they had after the televised event.  I think it comes on Sunday night at 10 PM (Eastern) on MSNBC.

How about we just do away with honorary degrees entirely? Earn it or no degree for you!

After reading this, I’m on tenterhooks. Deer Rufus please don’t let me down! Let them arrest his ass this week.

Note that the last tweet in this thread leads to an earlier thread that is equally as interesting.

PS: some of the photos used with the tweets are hilarious.

Rudy, apparently, has fun on tv … now the question is, do we want to see it or would we rather it never aired?

Is this a trainwreck you want permanently burnt onto your retinas?

(A Yahoo! Article about Rudy‘s unmasking as a tv show contestant, to the shock of the jury.)

Also, does the show have a poop emoji costume???

WTF?!

Who in their right minds would think it a good idea to have a democracy undermining insurrection organizing traitor as a contestant on their show?

This response!

New York Magazine's Intelligencer has an article up about Giuliani's legal exposure. Spoiler: it's significant.  Will he be desperate enough to flip? Maybe...or maybe not. 

Rudy Giuliani Is (Probably) Screwed Former prosecutors say he is in an excruciating legal predicament — and could very well flip.   (and yes, gentle readers, that's the actual title of this article)

Rudy's picture should be next to the word f**ked in the dictionary.  He's got major problems coming from at least three directions, from defamation suits to potential criminal acts and his Ukraine shenanigans and entanglements with Parnas and Fruman.  His law license has been suspended in New York state and DC. 

In the Everything Trump Touches Dies category, Rudy is shocked, SHOCKED I tell you that Trump will not give him any money.  

Quote

“Giuliani is facing a set of challenges unlike anything he’s dealt with before,” Michael Bromwich, a former inspector general at the Justice Department, told me. “The extremely serious criminal investigation that could send him to jail, the civil suits that could bankrupt him, the disbarment proceedings that may well end any opportunity to practice law ever again — it’s a tidal wave of problems with potentially devastating personal and professional consequences."

"Giuliani’s unhinged Jan. 6 rant shows how Trump’s media scam really works"

Quote

The Jan. 6 select committee issued new subpoenas Tuesday suggesting its investigation is focused on Rudolph W. Giuliani’s central role in trying to help Donald Trump thwart a duly elected government from taking power, to seize a second presidential term for Trump illegitimately.

Only hours later, Giuliani scurried into the safe confines of far-right media, where he was granted total free rein to broadcast the deranged alternate narrative that the only Real Insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government have been Democrats.

This episode neatly illustrates how Trump and his allies will try to manipulate the information environment to help obscure Trump’s misdeeds — and his possible crimes — as the House committee’s work nears completion.

Giuliani’s latest unhinged rantings were delivered on Newsmax on Tuesday night. This came after the committee subpoenaed several figures related to Trump’s effort to get GOP legislatures to appoint sham electors to subvert President Biden’s victory.

Two of those subpoenaed are Trump campaign officials who engaged in a “coordinated strategy” to pressure legislators to execute that scheme, according to communications that the committee says it has obtained.

The Giuliani connection comes in the subpoena of Laura Cox, the former Michigan GOP chair. The committee cites a Michigan Live story reporting that Cox was present on a video conference when Giuliani pressured state legislators not to certify Biden’s electors, saying this would be a “criminal act.”

In other words, the committee is reconstructing Giuliani’s extensive role in pressuring GOP-led states to help Trump steal the election. As the New York Times reports, Giuliani also helped develop the “legal” strategy by which Trump would exploit the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to pull this off.

But during Giuliani’s appearance on Newsmax, an entirely alternate storyline unfolded, one hermetically sealed off from the events that actually did unfold. He declared the committee “illegal,” based on one of the dumber right-wing arguments making the rounds.

“Jan. 6 is nothing more than ‘Russian collusion,’ with another name, and a new lie,” Giuliani continued. Then he mimicked what he said were “crazy, exaggerated” claims by Democrats: “It’s worse than September 11th, it’s worse than Pearl Harbor, it’s worse than the Civil War!!!”

As Giuliani’s fake outrage crescendoed, his voice rose to a manic pitch:

(Tweet shown above the article)

Giuliani also unleashed a jumble of other right-wing obsessions, railing about Democratic efforts to hold Trump accountable for pressuring Ukraine to announce a sham investigation of Biden to help Trump win reelection.

But what’s really telling is that Giuliani invoked the latest invented right-wing scandal involving special counsel John Durham, who is probing the roots of the Russia investigation. Giuliani railed that Durham has unmasked Hillary Clinton and her aides as “criminals” who engaged in a “frame up” of Trump over Russian interference in the 2016 election.

That’s pure nonsense. As Glenn Kessler demonstrates, the right has taken a new court filing from Durham and twisted it beyond recognition to insinuate he has uncovered new evidence of Clinton-linked “spying” on Trump’s campaign, which Durham himself doesn’t even claim.

What’s important here is the right’s broader alt-narrative, in which Democrats were the Real Insurrectionists. They tried to overthrow Trump’s government, by backing an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election (which actually happened), and by impeaching him for pressuring a foreign ally to corrupt the 2020 election (which also actually happened).

This hints at the role the fake Durham scandal will play in coming weeks.

As the committee’s latest scrutiny of Giuliani shows, it is seeking to assemble a very comprehensive picture of the degree to which Trump and his co-conspirators actually did attempt to overthrow our constitutional order to install him in power illegitimately, through extraordinary procedural corruption and then by inciting mob violence.

The fake Durham scandal will be chum to muddy up the media water as this full picture comes into view. It’s no accident that Trump himself has been madly pushing the Durham story in recent days. He’s very much in on this scam.

Phony scandals such as this one create a profound dilemma for the media. As New York Times reporter Charlie Savage wrote in a good piece, in the face of right-wing misinformation, news organizations must decide whether it merits coverage at all, since it’s misinformation, but if they don’t cover it, the right attacks them as biased.

The game is to cow the media into injecting pollution and sewage into the information environment. And this has created a badly lopsided situation.

On the right, a huge network of outlets blares forth its own comprehensively sealed off alt-narrative, as we just saw with Giuliani on Newsmax. Meanwhile, as we’re seeing with the Durham tale, news organizations often struggle to debunk right-wing disinformation, a complicated undertaking that often ultimately muddies up the truth simply by virtue of covering it, which is what that disinformation is designed to do.

You can be certain this Durham story will play a big role in the coming effort by Trump allies to obscure and distract from emerging truths about him and Jan. 6. Unfortunately, because there’s no easy answer to this problem, it might prove depressingly effective.

Fucking racist 

Quote

Rudy Giuliani urged Eminem to "go to another country" after the rapper decided to take a knee during Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show performance.

"Let's get right to Eminem taking a knee," Giuliani said during his radio program, Rudy Guiliani Show, on Monday. "Why doesn't he go to another country? I mean, go take a knee someplace else. You know how many cops were defending him and protecting him at that game yesterday? I mean crime is way out of control in Los Angeles."

Why don’t you go to hell Rudy and take your orange pal with you?

If he has had it there for years this means he was aware of a ‘crime’ and has been suppressing evidence.
