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!

Just a reminder that real people suffered as a result of the Giuliani's contemptible lies. For me, this was the most gut-wrenching testimony from the January 6th hearings.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=6dn48fcHkFw

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

For sure, the person in that video (Shays Moss) is one of people mentioned in the article who is suing Giuliani.

This is like a page 32 retraction 6 months later.

Not that his followers would have believed this in real time

Not that his followers ~~would have believed this in real time~~ believe this now.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am actually kinda shocked he admitted it though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Only legally, not factually! There's a huge difference. I guess?

How has anybody ever gotten behind this sweaty fidgety brutally stupid troll?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget "gassy" and "leaky"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. I think i covered leaky with sweaty but yes. My god. What a piece of shit. We all treated him like a hero becauase 9/11 happened on his watch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Didn't he also move the response teams INTO the towers after the first attack, despite being told it's a bad idea?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh sorry. Yes. That did happen and it was the clusterfuck you would expect from such a big-brained decision.

I dont know, man. I live in the Midwest and that was almost 25 years ago. I apologize if I said something offensive. Im 45 but im stupid and I have done a lot of drugs.

Any credibility he had ought to have crumbled in the early 2000s when he promoted Oxycontin and pushed a deal to continue sales. Absolutely mind-boggling, I read about him 15 years afterward and I'm amazed by how conservatives fell in line to defend a ghoul who tried to get them all hooked on opioids for a nickel just because he said some pretty words about defending the orange god-king or whatever.

He was mayor of NY during 9/11. You want him to be a good guy. Thats good enough for a lot of people
