And neither is anyone who decided to run the quote, and now, people who read the quote without the background to know it’s BS.

It’s like the mental lightbulb turning on, but off. People are dumber as a result.

Hey, happy cake day!

Now, before we go getting all misty eyed over 9/11, let’s not forget that as mayor he hired an avowed racist that implemented the “stop and frisk” program, which targeted minority populations throughout NYC.

The racism got so bad that his police force raped a man with a broken broomstick who was chained up in the precinct. Afterward one of the officers paraded the bloody, feces slathered broomstick around as a trophy. The victim broke or lost several teeth, and had such severe internal damage that her was hospitalized for 2 months.

A few years later, they shot an unarmed guy 41 times after he ran away from them.

Giuliani is a horrible person who used a terror attack to bolster his image.

I’m going to remember him as being the driving factor behind “stop and frisk” which saw an increasingly hostile and racially insensitive police force in America’s biggest city.

Before he was a melting alcoholic, a incompetent lackey for an incompetent wannabe mafioso president, or held the whitewashed and unearned “America’s Mayor” title after 9/11, he was the guy whose cops shot a man 41 times after he ran away from them. I suspect Amado Diallo was running from the cops because just a few years prior, the same police force had sexually assaulted an immigrant - a black man - that was handcuffed in their precinct by

Abner Louima required several corrective surgeries and two months of hospitalization.

So, yeah, that’s the Giuliani I remember. Oh, and when he dressed in drag to entertain Trump.

Golf claps
Well done, old chap!

Are you referring to the 2022 bombing of a maternity hospital in Mariupol, the 2024 bombing of a maternity hospital in Kyiv, or the 2025 attacks against children’s hospitals in Kherson, Kharkiv, Kamianske, and Odessa? (These are just the results from the first page of search results.)

Or are you referring to Russia literally stealing Ukrainian children from their families to try to erase their culture?

I say those things to say this: We can all pretend to be stupid when it suits us. I know you weren’t thinking of Ukrainian children. It suits me right now to ensure those examples are fresh on your mind.

The game of politics is still being played even if you chose to make moves that didn’t contribute strategically. The U.S. system is not democratic, and unless it is reformed, voters must compromise their morals to achieve some of their aims. It sucks, but it’s the reality.
You made a call. You thought it was the most moral thing you could do at the time.

Rather than attack your past decisions, or try to convince you to see things from my worldview — I want to ask if you could go back in time and explain the current state of the world to yourself do you think you would make the same voting decisions again?

It also makes sense if he’s manipulating the stock market.

I wonder who sold off their oil futures yesterday afternoon and bought stocks.
