I hope I never disappoint my daughter this much


Politics is personal, as Rudy Giuliani’s daughter, Caroline Rose Giuliani, demonstrates. She’s voting for Kamala Harris because Trump wrecked her father.

As Rudy Giuliani’s daughter, I’m unfortunately well-suited to remind Americans of just how calamitous being associated with Trump can be, even for those who are convinced he’s on their side. Watching my dad’s life crumble since he joined forces with Trump has been extraordinarily painful, both on a personal level and because his demise feels linked to a dark force that threatens to once again consume America. Not to disregard individual accountability in the slightest, but it would be naive for us to ignore the fact that many of those closest to Trump have descended into catastrophic downward spirals. If we let Trump back into the driver’s seat this fall, our country will be no exception.

She still cares about her dad! She wants his descent to stop.

I know that some people may question whether I truly care about my father, since another Trump presidency could theoretically mitigate some of the problems he’s facing. It distresses me to think that my dad might even wonder this. But if you zoom out, Trump being the president was the worst thing that ever happened to my dad, to my family, and to our nation’s modern history. The consequences will only be more severe—and irreversible— a second time around. Thanks to the extremist Supreme Court he stacked, Trump would take office with full immunity: no checks on his power whatsoever. If the president isn’t going to be subject to the law like every other citizen, which remains incomprehensible to me, then our president had better have a moral compass. A 34-time convicted felon who’s been found liable for sexual abuse, tries to steal elections, and demeans people based on their race, sexuality, disability status, and gender falls remarkably short of the bar we must set for ourselves as a country. Fortunately, we have another choice in this election: a life-long public servant who has spent her career upholding justice and fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Listen to your daughter, Rudy.

    Hi. sorry for the OT comment, but I was unable to access this site since Sunday, and was getting “gateway timeout” 504 error messages; though now it looks like this site wasn’t actually down. Any idea what happened? (I’m using Goggle Chrome, if that’s relevant.)

    Rudy Giuliani’s Relationship With Trump Officially Costs Him His Legal Career
    Published Sep 26, 2024 at 1:00 PM EDT

    Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C, and it all stems from his “false and misleading statements” about former President Donald Trump’s election loss.

    The decision by three judges in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, seen in documents reviewed by Newsweek, follows after Giuliani, 80, was disbarred in New York in July.

    “Rudolph W. Giuliani is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the District of Columbia,” the document read.

    Giuliani’s license to practice law was suspended in D.C. in July 2021. The suspension in the country’s capital was triggered automatically after Giuliani’s suspension a month prior from practicing in New York.

    He was suspended from practicing law in New York for his “false and misleading statements” about former President Donald Trump’s election loss.

    and

    In December, a federal court jury in Washington, D.C., found Giuliani liable for $146 million in damages for defaming two Georgia election workers whom he falsely accused of ballot fraud in 2020.

    A week later, Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing that judgment, and money he owes various law firms and attorneys.

    A court filing shows that Giuliani owes more than $1.3 million to the law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron. The lawyer Robert Costello sued Giuliani in September for $1.36 million in unpaid legal fees dating to 2019.

    Giuliani’s association with Trump has cost him a huge amount.

    .1. His law license.
    He has been disbarred in Washington DC and New York.
    .2. A huge amount of money.
    He owes $146 million in a legal judgement and his lawyers want to be paid $1.3 million.
    I’m sure there are other debts as well although they might not matter.
    He is apparently broke and filed for bankruptcy.
    Meaning his net worth is negative.
    .3. His reputation such as it was.
    He comes across as creepy and not very bright.

    Really, he would have been better off going fishing, raising roses, walking his dogs or whatever he does for fun in retirement.
