Just a reminder that real people suffered as a result of the Giuliani's contemptible lies. For me, this was the most gut-wrenching testimony from the January 6th hearings.

For sure, the person in that video (Shays Moss) is one of people mentioned in the article who is suing Giuliani.

This is like a page 32 retraction 6 months later.

Not that his followers would have believed this in real time

Only legally, not factually! There's a huge difference. I guess?

How has anybody ever gotten behind this sweaty fidgety brutally stupid troll?

Any credibility he had ought to have crumbled in the early 2000s when he promoted Oxycontin and pushed a deal to continue sales. Absolutely mind-boggling, I read about him 15 years afterward and I'm amazed by how conservatives fell in line to defend a ghoul who tried to get them all hooked on opioids for a nickel just because he said some pretty words about defending the orange god-king or whatever.

He was mayor of NY during 9/11. You want him to be a good guy. Thats good enough for a lot of people

Don't forget "gassy" and "leaky"

CassowaryTom@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Yeah. I think i covered leaky with sweaty but yes. My god. What a piece of shit. We all treated him like a hero becauase 9/11 happened on his watch.

Didn't he also move the response teams INTO the towers after the first attack, despite being told it's a bad idea?

CassowaryTom@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y

Oh sorry. Yes. That did happen and it was the clusterfuck you would expect from such a big-brained decision.

I dont know, man. I live in the Midwest and that was almost 25 years ago. I apologize if I said something offensive. Im 45 but im stupid and I have done a lot of drugs.
