I don't know what happens to people who throw their lives and their reputations away the way he did. I guess he hit the bottle pretty hard.

He had a choice to be respected or to be ridiculed. Too late to change any of that now. We all make choices in life. We have to live and die with them.

I don't want to be remembered as the Trump lawyer who gave a press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping, with shoe polish running down the side of my face. I hope my mind never goes away such that I do that to myself.

There is a line from Sopranos that has not dated well.

At a luncheon, the speaker says: "If they say, 'John Gotti,' you tell them, 'Rudolph Giuliani'"

Trying to tie your legacy to Trump is never a good thing.

I do no think he ever forgave Biden for describing him as: "Noun, verb, and 9/11"

Psalm 109
. . .
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
. . .
. . . and for Donald Trump, too.

Amen

Mon May 4, 2026, 11:52 AM
Yesterday


In February 2007, the International Association of Fire Fighters issued a letter asserting that Giuliani rushed to conclude the recovery effort once gold and silver had been recovered from World Trade Center vaults and thereby prevented the remains of many victims from being recovered. The letter stated "Mayor Giuliani's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever, with no closure for families, or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill, before adding: "Hundreds remained entombed in Ground Zero when Giuliani gave up on them."[161] Lawyers for the International Association of Fire Fighters seek to interview Giuliani under oath as part of a federal legal action alleging that New York City negligently dumped body parts and other human remains in the Fresh Kills Landfill.[


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani

They still despise him for this. So much that disco-funk bands like !!! even mocked him... this ol' tune reminds me of those days.



(lyrics)
Well the way I see it, it doesn't really matter
'Cause it don't make no sense to all those mad Manhatters
But I do believe that there must come a moment
When even the piggiest pig must get on up and move it

I got this friend named Neil, swears Nixon had a soul
But what I'd like to know is can Giuli' do the stroll?

(instrumental break)

People always ask me, "What's so fucking great about dancing, dancing?"
How the fuck should I know?
Yeah, even I can barely understand it, understand it
But the music takes over
The music takes control

Well, here's a message to you Rudy and to you sir, Mr. Bloomberg and the rest of you ties-too-tight dudes
Y'all could learn a lesson, losing inhibitions, yeah
Losing yourself in the music, losing yourself in the moment

Because we have nothing more than this very second
You can't count on the one coming after, no one's sure about the one before
So forget about it, we live here and now dude
Here and now, here and now, here and now
So get on down down down down down down down down down down down down down down

doodoodootdootdoodoo
doodoodootdodootdoodoo...

New York City is where the freaks come to be free
And if I can't get my freak on, see
I'ma hang up Giuliani
He can sic his lackeys on me
But you can't stop a new age dawning
Yeah

So if you got hips, shake 'em
And if you got fears, forsake 'em
Giuliani's got his rules but we ain't no fools
Let's break 'em
Yeah, yeah

So if you got hips, shake 'em
And if you got fears, forsake 'em
Giuliani's got his rules but we don't give a shit
Let's break 'em

Let's, let's, let's break 'em
Let's break 'em down
And on the way
We'll make 'em say, make 'em say

Everybody cut
Everybody cut
Everybody cut, footloose

Now everybody cut
And shake that butt
And on the way
We'll make 'em say, make 'em say ...
