    Good time for Giuliani to find those bootstraps to pull himself up. Maybe cut back on the avocado toast and Netflix. If he has a phone on him, means he’s won’t be poor and bankrupt, just lazy.

    Was Rudy like this before his involvement with Trump? All the smart people are saying that Trump guy is a bad influence.

    the time to consider whether you can serve the penalty for breaking the law is before you break the law, not after. if you don’t have tens of millions of dollars, don’t purposely cause tens of millions of dollars in damage.

    Former Time Person of the Year, America’s Mayor, and someone who once stood a realistic chance of becoming president.

    What a fall from grace.

    If only he’d retired at 65.

      Makes you realize, like Trump, that all of those accomplishments were the result of his PR team and the mainstream media’s propaganda machine — he succeeded in spite of his own stupidity and incompetence.

        A lot of it also had to do with being mayor of NY when 9/11 happened.

        Before 9/11, he wasn’t that popular of a mayor.

          He really wasn’t that popular not long after 9/11 either. The leftys in NYC always hated his guts and never bought the media lies.

    I don’t see how this is a death sentence. Plenty of other people have gone bankrupt without dying.

      Yes. I’ve seen lots of news stories mention elderly criminals being given early release, lighter sentences, house arrest, etc. because of their general state of health.

      Just to be clear, I don’t think Giuliani has any health problems that would warrant special treatment.
