And just think? He was once a big time prosecutor, putting away the Mob for their illegal schemes? But Rudy G. forfeited all his glory to help a man who thinks he controls everything and everyone! A second but, Rudy is a thug himself and know exactly what he was doing!

(50,935 posts)It is not nice to spread misinformation that puts others in a position where they have to defend monsters in order to point out the truth. Don't do it.

That's a pretty primitive - and right wing - outlook.

(25,816 posts)fake electorates either. He has never been a man of honesty or integrity. He screwed up as
mayor too, especially on 9/11. As far as right wing outlooks, I'm not defending the guy.

And besides all that, Guiliani is truly guilty of PLENTY of things you can hang on him, things that are proven and that took place before our eyes. Why make shit up? It only weakens your own case.

is different then this:
"In the chaotic days after Trumps defeat, a handful of other GOP electors indicated in interviews that they saw merit in the emerging strategy to send alternative electors to Washington in an effort to undermine Bidens victory.
Michigan GOP elector Meshawn Maddock said at the time that she had been researching legal options. What I might want to do can be completely different from what we are legally capable of doing, does that make sense? she said in an email."

The first article implies several were aware that what they were doing was probably illegal but the sourced article states only one.

He keeps making the kind of choices that makes the law want to throw the book at a lawyer, just to affirm your own humanity.
