he's been a scumbag all along. it's unfortunate to say, but 9/11 was the best thing that ever happened to his reputation. too bad he couldn't just fuck off and retire after that.

I’m just glad Andrew Giuliani is a stooge, and there’s no worry of a Giuliani Dynasty in the future.

Right?! I used to say that all the time. Always a douche and it boggles my mind how people decided to not know until his recent buffoonery. 911 was his meal ticket. He literally didn’t have to do shit. Forest Gump coulda mayored himself out of that disaster because there was nowhere to go but up.

Haha I remember when I told some of my republican family about Giuliani marrying his cousin and none of them knew lol. Most uninformed people. It also did not surprise me that it didn't bother them that much lol.

Did you not see him at the State of the Union? He was animated and quick there too. He completely cornered the GOP when it came to Medicare/SocSec and forced them to do a "we don't actually want to cut entitlements" tour for the last week.

My dad travelled to NYC for work often. 3-4 times a year for over 20 years. He talks about Giuliani reviving New York and how he saw it getting noticeably better when he was the mayor.

Giuliani and Trump both didn’t see Biden coming. Biden got Rudy laughed off the stage back in the day. When Biden told Trump to shut up I think a lot of folks wanted to hear that. In both cases they underestimated Biden. Too high on their own supply.

The best was his Duke Golf team saga. When frat boy Dukie golf bros think you’re too entitled and an asshole it’s time to start reconsidering your life choices.

And then he sued them saying they had to put him on the Varsity team. And they had to let him play the Duke golf course for free for the rest of his life. He lost, of course.

It’s not an uncommon phenomenon in politics. One big event or personal story point somehow overshadows every horribly thing in their history.

John McCain coasted on nepotism and his POW status despite some nasty shit in his personal life and flight conduct that would’ve gotten any normal pilot grounded.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan let Bush Jr skate by numerous administrative problems at the time, and after the propaganda surrounding the wars fell apart he’d already won re-election.

lmao. Biden happened as a result of the media finally dismantling Trump. Painting him as some kind of offensive weapon is simple hilarity. He won the nomination because he was the only perceived moderate among the 17 Dems running. If anyone knew how he'd actually govern, one of the others would have taken out Trump.

Leaving out the part about how Republicans gutted their demands and would've refused to pass any of them in a bill. They'd have gladly let the economy be wrecked by a rail shutdown caused by endless strike just to blame it on Biden.

I remember when Joe Biden destroyed Guiliani's presidential aspirations by calling him, "probably the most underqualified man since George Bush to seek the presidency. Rudy Giuliani - there's only three things he [needs] to make a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11."

Reminder that Giuliani refused to provide the NYFD with modern walkie talkies, so that no one on the ground could radio up to tell them the towers were about to fall. Every firefighter who died in those towers has Giuliani to blame.

Liberals really need to dispense with the idea that young equals good or competent. Look at the biggest lunatics in the GOP right now. Gaetz, MTG, Boebert, DeSantis... all of them are young, and all of them are batshit insane. Experience goes a long way in politics, and Biden has more experience than just about anybody. The amount he's been able to get done despite walking into the biggest dumpster fire since the end of the Bush presidency is nothing less than astounding.

That’s the thing: McCain never should’ve been in a position to get shot down in Vietnam in the first place. He flew recklessly and crashed several planes domestically. He only kept his wings because his family had a lot of say in the military.

So, I’m hardly a McCain apologist (see: Palin, Sarah) but didn’t he refuse a prisoner transfer which would have gotten him out early because he was in fact an admiral’s son? I could be wrong there.

He wasn’t as much of a badass as Admiral Stockdale though, who cut himself with a razor and bashed himself in the face so he couldn’t be paraded around by the Viet Cong.

Yep. Rudy's links to the Russian mafia and the Russian state go back decades.

Trump Lawyer Rudy Giuliani's Mysterious Ties to Russia and Former Soviet Union Go Back Decades, Experts Argue

The ironic thing is that probably the biggest threat of Russian meddling in America was totally ignored during the 90s. Not communism but crime/corruption. But I guess corruption and capitalism are comfortable bedfellows so it wasn't a big deal.

But if you look at Russia today, it's a pure gangster state. And they export their corruption and crime around the world.

Biden learned from the best and worst.

Anyway while I agree that politics shouldn't consist like 90% of people over the age of 65, I think age doesn't factor into things. There's plenty of shitty people who are young and plenty of old people who are still spry, witty, and competent.

I still remember Giuliani calling Hilary Clinton a liar for claiming she was there walking around the debris-covered ground after 9/11 even though there's literally a photo of him with her in it doing just that.

Well to be totally fair, there's probably not a single person in the entire world who isn't descended from a cousin/cousin marriage, particularly one that happened within the last 220 years. The real scandal is that anyone willingly married him in the first place.

Conker1985 t1_j8n5puu wrote

Yep, all you have to do is look at the right-wing media landscape over the past 7 years to understand that it's not a generational problem.

It's no different than when progressives start going off about an imaginary AOC presidency every time she throws meat to her base on Twitter. Never mind the fact that her chances are slim to none on the national stage (and that isn't going to change anytime soon), but even if she magically beat the odds, it's not as though she'd have a blank check to write and pass legislation unilaterally, nor would it change how our government works. She likely have to content with a GOP majority in both the House and/or Senate. It would basically would amount to legislative gridlock domestically.

elinordash t1_j8nt6rg wrote

While I understand the desire to draw a big conspiracy theory around Guiliani, but I think he actually started out as someone with a massive ego and the intention to do good. Going after the Cosa Nostra in the 80s took serious guts. He also went after Wall Street in a very public way that sent some people to jail. His term as Mayor of NYC was controversial and there is a lot to criticize, but he was still taking big swings trying to make change.

If he had stayed a prosecutor, he'd probably be a much more admirable person. But fame seems to have been his driving ambition since 9/11.

Because he didn't do shit, crime was falling every year since dinkins, of course he's going to take credit, but his civic cleanup campaign was garbage. The only thing he did right was make Bratton the police commissioner. That's who really cleaned the city up. Everybody else was already doing their part in cleaning the city before Giuliani came in. Look up Nathan glazer, Dan biederman, Herbert sturz if you don't believe me.

9/11 was the greatest thing to happen to Rudy Guiliani. If 9/11 hadn’t happened. He would have been remembered as a mediocre mayor at best. Instead he was mayor of NYC when the most devastating attack happened. And in that one moment he demonstrated strength. But that is his only claim to fame. As Joe Biden once said, “Rudy Guiliani, he only mentions 3 things in a sentence, a noun and a verb and 9/11.”
