ZeroCoolRudy Giuliani says earthquakes targeting "communist" US states
Admiral PatrickYeah, and witches cursed my pants to not fit anymore. NOT all the non-stop sitting and snacking. Definitely witches.
A witch turned me into a newt.
A newt?!
InductorHe got better.
…I got better
We thought you was a toad.

Judge, take his condo that he claims he needs to run his podcast.
cosmicrookieWait… they let you keep whatever you need?
They can’t take your primary residence, or your primary means of transportation.
They also might allow you to keep stuff you need to generate income. The idea is that generating income and paying part of that is better in the long term than a one off sale.
So they can’t require you to move out of a palace and into something more modest?
IDK how that shakes out. I just know the basics because someone I know filed bankruptcy years ago.
kubicaGod sending earthquakes to encourage states to be communists... See? It makes the same sense, none at all.
I used to think all that talk was just weird, but now I wonder how many of them are actually serious.
Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world’s largest market, isn’t Communist.

Words just mean whatever these folks want them to mean.
Is Warren Buffet a socialist?
Classic Jon Stewart
wall streets only there to draw away suspicion. nobody would suspect wall street to be right in the middle of a communist city
Communist means whatever they want it to mean.
Communism is when you… Wait okay let me start over. If someone else is doing something and… Hold on. So you know how theres capitalism and then there’s… Please don’t do a communism.
OpenStarsYour words were all spelled correctly. Try again? :-P
Hamburder
AND not PROPERLY capitolized for maximum IMPACT
Capitalized. They can’t capitol for shit.
It means any place where total oligarchy is resisted in any way whatsoever.
It sounds like a stupid comment to rally the hogs, but in reality these types of things are a mask-off moment.
“We hate it when people attempt to better their lives because it threatens our wealth”
Just like WoKE, CriTiCaL RACE ThEoRy, and AnTiFA
Did they wear out ‘woke’?
I grew up in the tri-state when this guy was mayor and I just remember him being called Gestapo Guiliani. NY appeared cleaner, especially on 42nd and Times Square, but he always seemed to be a shit person despite the handjobs he’s received from the public.
I was wrong, he is worse.
In a normal county these people would get laughed out of the room. In america they get a powerful Position, or even become president
Reich-wingers are getting more unhinged everywhere, unfortunately
southsamuraiHorse shit. There’s crazy politicians in every country.
No, no, no… OP wrote county, not country. Not sure where the “america” county is, but must be a hell hole.
We were in the communist state of New York and then we were in Connecticut and we just escaped all the earthquakes then we got to Massachusetts which probably had some earthquakes and we got to New Hampshire
No no no, keep going, keep going!
Dear Rudy,
Go east about 500 miles. I guarantee you will find no communists there. And it’ll be a great place to set up your new life.
CatoblepasChrist, I thought you’d made that up but that’s the actual transcript. Dude makes Ralph from the Simpsons sound like Oscar Wilde.
AvicennaI mean in 2024, still seriously? I mean maybe 1000 BC in ancient Greece it makes sense but how can this still be an argument in 2024?
Because people are fucking stupid.
B/c he knows that he does not mean it, and his base knows that he does not mean it, but it still manages to communicate something regardless - “they bad”.
Humanity today is genetically identical to those in ancient Greece, and many of us have spent less time schooling ourselves about how to e.g. avoid frauds than many of them did back then. ergo, “argument by authority” still works for us, as perhaps it did for them back then as well.
Your presupposition seems to be that humanity should somehow get better over time? At least it seems to relate to a common humanist theme, but if we want to get better, it is going to require effort on our part to make that happen. (apparently, having access to the entire repository of human knowledge at our fingertips is not sufficient, for those who cannot be bothered to learn from it - either by reading or just sitting passively as videos with pwetty graphics do all the work of spelling it all out for us, yet still that is less fun & engaging to people who would rather watch shiny motor vehicles with ads on them drive round & round in circles)
Republicans are dumber than dogshit.
DudeImMacGyverFucking brilliant take. Wow.
If there still needs permission or something to ignore whatever comes out of Giuliani’s mouth, here, we grant it. Newsweek et al., you have our permission to no longer burden us with his ravings.
New York, with Manhattan being a city that’s basically the epicenter of American capitalism, where the world’s most important stock exchange is, and that he himself was the mayor of.
SteefLemLooks like all that lead paint and lead gasoline is finally settling in the boomer brains the last couple of years
The next 10 years will be interesting as the boomers really start displaying dementia and other age related mental decline.
And scary since some are taking or keeping office.
God used to turn cities to rubble by raining fire. Now he makes the ground shake enough for books to fall off the shelf.
But only banned books
blazerafor god so loved the world amirite
Republicans think liberal and communist are the same thing. They also think communist and fascist are the same thing. But of course Giuliani is a highly educated professional who knows better. He’s just cynical, and rotten to the core.
Republicans are supremely confident in the stupidity of their audience. Giuliani is a terrible no-good person, but I seriously doubt he’s this dumb himself.
Guy fucked his own life for a chance to lick trump’s asshole.
You gotta be mentally defective to be a republican.
Not true! Some of them are corrupt predators, too.
I really just wonder how easy it would be, psychologically, to start a Red-Blooded for Jesus organization, rake in profits under a non-profit tag, then “have to close because of the economy” and retire.
I’m on board. We make some up some bs but close enough Biblical quotes and bad AI images, put them on t-shirts and flags, charge too much. Couple that with a poorly produced podcast. Tell them that we “support” (in really vague terms) a variety of groups (that we have made up) and infer that monthly subscriptions will help stop communism and wokeness - again couched in vague terms.
Of course, it’s a for-profit corporation. Jesus specifically said that getting a high ROI is divine.
Different priorities. If your goal is to see your stock portfolio go up and ignore everything else, voting republican makes sense because that’s their goal too.
Not saying it’s right but that’s what it is.
Now look up market valuation by prez and see that Dems do way better.
