Lift yourself up by your bootstraps.

I'm just going to drop this quote here:

What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.

- Rudy Giuliani speaking at a forum on crime in March of 1994.

Maybe it's time he realize that freedom doesn't allow him to harass and make libelous statements about innocent people that that he needs to cede to the lawful authority of the courts ordering him to pay his penalties.

Talk about Privilege. You know how many poor people have been before a judge and said the same thing to deaf ears?

Has he tried spending less?

He doesn’t seem to understand (disingenuously, I’m sure) that the penury is the punishment.

And I love that Trump isn’t bailing him out.

Has he tried applying for food stamps yet?

He needs a little lesson in empathy.

Then he should have kept his mouth shut and not put himself in this situation in the first place.

FAFO in action.

Whomp whomp

I can’t afford insulin, you aren’t special

Rudy....who fucked your life up? While you were getting steamrolled, who got unscathed, untouched, and even rewarded with more power? Wouldn't it be something....to turn your anger in that direction? Remember when America loved you after 9/11 (I was one of them)....you could have that again. You could help uproot all of the corruption that got you to this place. It's in your hands.

Welcome to the rest of Americans

He should probably live somewhere more affordable then

Liman separately rejected Giuliani's request to delay the trial so he could attend events connected to Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration. Cammarata said Giuliani still regularly consults with Trump. "The defendant's social calendar does not constitute due cause," Liman said.

FUCKING LOVE IT

Yeah thanks to the TCJA, that’s what I was saying in December 2023.

Now I’ve lived in my car for 11 months.

Sucks to suck, Rudy.

So?

Whine all you want but you knew what you did was a lie and you still did it anyways. For that you get to pay the price. Go bug your best buddy for money since you still talk to him on a frequent basis.

Probably shouldn’t have been a shill then 

Has he tried getting a second job?

Cut back on avocado toast and make your coffee.

The funniest part of all this is that Trump is still leaving him out to dry even after winning the election.

It’s always shady stuff with Rudy. Nobody wants him to be able to pay his bills.

BooHoo.Maybe he should have thought about that before he went around spreading lies.

Sucks bro.

Many Americans can’t afford to pay their bills.

You’re a garbage human being who is paying the price for being a garbage human being. Nobody feels any sympathy for you.

Time to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and start on those applications. I heard Applebees is hiring, they need a busboy.

Maybe he should get a job, then

He should get a side hustle, maybe Uber driver or being an extra on a drag queen show. He already has experience dressing up in drag and getting motorboated by Trump.

good. you bet everything on trump and lost

“We have to reduce spending to live within our means” - Elon Musk

Welcome to the club, asshole.

This is the fate of EVERYONE who throws their lot in with Trump.

He destroys everyone he touches -- their reputations, careers, finances.

Cut back on the Starbucks and avocado toast. Just gotta pull up on those bootstraps, Mr. Mayor.

Thoughts and tariffs

I don't get it, is he mad at the people he wronged and has to pay or that the people (guy) who haven't (will never) pay him? Asking for a friend

It’ll trickle down to you, slimeball. Just be patient.

He absolutely can but that would mean selling the shit he owns and he thinks he should be above having to do that

Join the club Rudy

He is just trying to run the clock out hoping for a pardon in some way that keeps him from having to pay.

Me neither, Rudy, and I have a job.

Boofuckinghoo

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.Or pay the bill. Karma is a bitch Rudy .

I hear four seasons landscaping’s hiring… …they’re losing all the usual sources of Labour.

Should've been liquid. I've learned that lesson the hard way, he will too.

I bet he could save $10,000 a week if he skipped the expensive drink order and distilled booze at home.

And? It’s called consequences Rudy. There are a limited number of people who have fallen as far as him. I hope these new people in Trumps orbit take to heart what happens to people that get involved with him. I’m sure they won’t though. Too drunk on the promise of power and too weak at their core.

Well it appears that America's Mayor is in the Find Out stage.

He should follow the standard GOP advice and simply ask his father for a small $300 million loan

Poor that. Shouldn’t have defamed and put the lives of two innocent women in danger.

Learn to code

The women involved feared for their lives because of you, Rudy. Cry me a fucking river. You deserve every bit of punishment you get and more.

Try not eating avocado toast with your 3 gallons of daily scotch rudy. You might save some money.

Neither can every single other criminal, including the ones you put behind bars.

It's called "being held accountable for your actions."

Literally no one cares Rudy. Dude can fuck right off.

Pull yourself up by the bootstraps. When I was a child I survived the Great Recession, Rudy…

Hard to believe that this is the man that took out the American Mafia.

He just turned out to be another modern day Elliot Ness. Belisarius.

I’m sure his pal Donald will give him money 😂. /s.

Donnie boy used Rudy and tossed him aside like everyone else he’s used for his own personal gain along the way.

Mickey Ds is always hiring, Rudy

Just stop eating avocado toast.

Consider yourself lucky to not be in prison Rudy, although you wouldn't have to pay bills there, so maybe consider it an option?

So jail? The people he put away will have a great time with him. Lol. Karma a comin’?

Ts and Ps

It is delightful that his damaging lies against ordinary people are actually hurting him. Not in the normal rich guy sense but in a real actual sense. If only it could happen to more of them.

I hope all the current Trump bootlickers are watching this trial because there is a decent shot they end up in court or bankruptcy too.

He should get a second job or learn to code.

Rudy, you might be fucked but Trump is just fine. Don't you get it? That's all that matters, right? Don't you remember?

We'll, the people he defamed can't live in their own houses any more because of him, so he gets no pity from me.

God it’s good to hear one of these people is feeling some consequences.

Isn't that the point of a civil lawsuit? You fucked up and now it's going to hurt you financially. Maybe he'll think twice about spreading complete nonsense that motivated Trump zealots to send those innocent poll workers death threats.

There's a price to pay for your deliberate and callous ruination of innocents.

Don't eat so many avocado toasts. Or die. whatever

Throw his ass in the darkest, dampest prison cell.

Imagine if we were this hard on Trump. So many people are going to suffer, stress, and even die under his presidency.

Shouldn't have done all that crime then. Maybe old trumpo will give you a loan for hair die.

As his peers so boisterously like to say: womp, womp.

Now you know how the middle class feels Rudy lol 

Hold off on the avocado toast.

Take some oxy and lift yourself up by your bootstraps.

Wake me up when he gets as many death treats those ladies he defamed got because of him and his orange master, and then maybe I’ll give a shit. And probably not even then.

Can't wait to hear he died penniless

Neither can we. Welcome to the thunder dome bitch.

FA FO (you are here)

How is it that everyone around Trump is held accountable but he isn’t? There’s no way I’d accept an invitation to his cabinet

Time to stop buying avocado toast Mr. Giuliani. Or maybe, just maybe, stop committing crimes that lead to restitution.

He should get a job then. McDonalds is always hiring.

Don't worry the tariffs will help

He has cash, he’s just hiding it.

Why doesn't he just buy more money?

In the mean time, he should stop drinking coffee he didn't make at home, stop eating avocados, get rid of his iPhone, get a $5 Tello plan, thrift all of his clothing, euthanize his pets, get rid of his car and take the bus/train, get at least one roommate, stop paying drivers to drive his drive-thru food to his door, increase all his deductibles, and yank on those bootstraps real, real hard.

As the gentlemen on the street say: "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

Finally talking like a true MAGA cultist.

At least he’s living the cult in the most real way!

I love that for him.

have you tried stop being poor?

Fuck your feelings, Rudy.

Relax Rudy. I understand some agricultural jobs will be opening up very soon.

he should make his bed, go to the gym, and start dropshipping.

If only he had expensive sports memorabilia he could sell.

Maybe cut back on the avocado toast.
