I'm really tired of hearing about Ghouliani and noting that "justice" doesn't seem to apply to wealthy white men. How is it that Kalief Browder who was accused of stealing a backpack (not convicted, ACCUSED) ends up in Rikers for three years awaiting trial when this asshole still walks the streets?

This country really is starting to make me sick.

Throw his sorry ass in the slammer at 12 noon on Inauguration Day!

Maybe MSNBC will provide split-screen coverage.

Rudy's 1st par, paraphrased:

These are my real feelings about this systemic destruction of our American system of justice.

Rudy's 3rd par, quote: "Soon I will reveal my real feelings about this systemic destruction of our American system of justice."

I'd keep making jokes about Rudy Giuliani but Rudy Giuliani keeps beating me to it.

There is nothing pathological about hating trumpy. It's the other way around.

Thank you for "roachy little mandibles," Marcie! First time we've laughed since the fires started :)

If you can't laugh at Ruined-iani, who's left to laugh at? Oh, right....

By this point any of us would be in jail.

This is the deference available to those who work for the benefit of the unreconstructed.

The clock shall be run out and I am certain there'll be a way for a President Klan Robe lickspittle to do him a favor (even if Klan Robe himself won't help).

I hope Mmmes. Moss and Freeman invest what they *did* get. They shall not get any more.

Rudy is “soon going to reveal [his] real feelings about the systemic destruction of our American justice system.” Who doggy. MSM, get your Apple Newtons new batteries and sharpen your styluses. Cuz Roodles the Scuzzy Scotch Goblin is gonna say some disparages about courts! You can’t even lie about innocent election workers to destroy their lives with conspiracy theories to sow doubt in an election your employer (who won’t pay you) lost! Unfair!

Pretty rich, considering Trump, Rudy and the MAGA crowd have done more in the past 8 years to discredit and vilify the courts, judges, and the free press than anyone in decades. I will agree with him that our justice system failed, as Trump and Rudy would be sharing a cell and soaking their dentures in pruno right now had justice been served.

Until then, Roods the Dudes will continue to restrain himself and bite his tongue, showing respect for the court and the jury’s decision.

I was surprised to find out he had “real feelings”.

As observed by Bernard Baruch and Daniel Patrick Moynihan among many others: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. They are not entitled to their own facts.

I guess that's just an obsolete 20th Century notion, now that we live in the era of "alternate facts" as dreamed up by the MAGA crowd. I think things went to hell about the time that a completely batshit crazy "sincerely held religious belief" granted you a privilege, rather than a commitment to an insane asylum.

No consequences.

By spring, the ability to say "I showed contempt for the court. Where's their army?" will be a badge of "honor" among the accused. By the mid-terms, it will be a reason to vote for the GOP.

The idiozs Who thought protecting institutions was all -important were obligations protecting their own turf, and they couldn't even do that.

As I non-commented earlier this week, if that fuckwad is not in the clink, he's not in contempt. Just fucking jail his ass and assign his $43k/month pension to Ruby and Shay.

Chump's new lawyer is Joe Cammarata.

Rudy's new lawyer is Eden Quainton.

I swear the writers are snorting adrenochrome in the writer's room.

Joe Cammarata is actually Roodles' new NYC bankruptcy lawyer (he's usually a Staten Island divorce lawyer).

I'm ashamed that I know this off the top of my head.

I'll never forget seeing the name Boolus Boohaker in some reporting on Louisiana back in the '90s.

And no, Thomas Pynchon wasn't on the byline.

Ta, Marcie. $200 a day? That's basically nothing. Contemptible Ghouliani will never stop with the lies and defamation. Only being imprisoned will shut his filthy mouth.

Rudy “jokes on you suckers. A bed INDOORS?? Three hots and a cot????” (Pushes shopping cart full of Yankees World Series rings 9/11 memorabilia into the street to do a hobo jig)

Donald Trump when asked if he’s going to save Rudy

Rudy committed one of the Unforgiveable Sins.

He asked Chump to pay him money owed for work performed and then badmouthed the Great Man when he stiffed him.

No cavalry's coming to your rescue, Rudy, and the judiciary's looking for the perfect sucker to be made the poster boy for judicial independence.
