If only he knew a competent lawyer.
Did he try pulling himself up by the bootstraps? What about not having an iPhone? Starbucks coffee? Avocado toasts?
One of the greatest money saving tips we got up here in Canada is that cancelling Disney plus ($12/month plus taxes) would help struggling families deal with inflation and make ends meet.
Thanks chrystia freeland, you out of touch ghoul. That $12 a month will surely overcome the several hundred dollars a month increase in costs to food, shelter, and gasoline/heat since 2019.
To be non partisan, the federal leader of the opposition also suggested Canada could opt out of inflation by embracing bitcoin, right before it Collapsed 60%
As you can see, the people in charge up here have nothing but the best, most well thought out advice for the average Canadian and those bootstraps will be pulled up any day now.
I feel your pain. Canadian conservatives are doing exactly the same BS as the ones in the US. Conservatism is the problem, no matter what is the name of party/country/society.

I wish more people understood this. Conservatism is the problem in Iran and China too.
And they’re being weird about it too, from what I’ve heard.
It’s like they forgot that the US and Canada are different countries
Maybe his public defender will suggest to take the plea since their caseload is too large
Come on, give the guy a break. He’s trying! Everyone knows he’s only buying economy hair dye.
He should get kickbacks from four seasons landscaping, after all he was their point man.
Jesus, remember when Four Seasons Total Landscaping was the most ridiculous thing?
He destroyed his legal career to defend Trump. He went on news channels and pointedly said that it’s normal for a lawyer to pay off hush money and never tell a client. His own law firm fired him because nobody wants a lawyer that spends such massive amounts of your money without telling you. Then he told so many lies that his law license was suspended by the bar for unprofessional behavior and disgracing the legal profession. And after all that, Trump refused to pay him because he didn’t like the outcome of the case.
NOW Giuliani is being sued by the poll workers he slandered and had their lives threatened, and Giuliani admitted to the court that he doesn’t have enough money to fight the case and won’t put up a defense. That’s in addition to the lawsuits against him by Dominion and Smartmatic which are still in progress.
I’m imagining Rudy going bankrupt and ending up in prison for the rest of his life, with his entire legacy reduced to his failure to defend an orange-skinned pig.
And now I can’t wipe this smile off my face.
He’s also being sued by his former employee whom he sexually assaulted/harassed (I’m not saying allegedly because he was recorded doing it). I believe she’s looking for a couple million dollars. And then of course there’s the criminal indictment, with probably more to come. I’d imagine his only source of income, apart from any investments he might have, is speaker fees from shitty Trump aligned group events, maybe he can write a book to raise cash. America’s mayor is fucked.
There’s likely a bottomless pit of gullible neckbeard R’s that will contribute if he starts a gofundme.
It’s like he watched too much Boston Legal and thought he was Denny.
I guess he shouldn’t have been a traitor to our country then.
A) This is entirely self-inflicted.
B) Guiliani is worth somewhere around $40-45 million, he’s not going to be eating ramen or selling blood.
C) Anyway …
Alright this is just too juicy to ignore.
In civil litigation, the plaintiff will often seek discovery of the defendant’s finances, insurance policies, etc to find out if the defendant will ultimately be able to pay a judgement. Looks like Guliani is trying to avoid that because he’s embarrassed he’s broke:
While the former mayor has declined in court to provide details of his financial state, his lawyers wrote this week that “producing a detailed financial report is only meant to embarrass Mr. Giuliani and draw attention to his misfortunes.”
The article also cited campaign disclosures showing Trump’s PAC was paying Guliani’s bills related to record storage and production, at a cost of $300k. But it sounds like Trump cut him off:
On Wednesday, Katz argued Giuliani did not have the funds to pay for producing records in a lawsuit brought by voting technology company Smartmatic, adding that the “third-party source” that paid for his earlier bill was “not willing to give any additional money.”
By May, Giuliani was more than $320,000 behind in payments to the document hosting company, according to a sworn statement he made in court. “I do not have the funds to pay this amount at this time,” he wrote.
He negotiated for a year with what his lawyers say were “third-party funding sources” for help in paying his legal bills, and awaited funding for six months for help with the Trustpoint bill, according to Giuliani’s filing this week in the Smartmatic case. But the $340,000 payment [previous one time payment from Trump’s PAC to catch Guliani up on data hosting bills] isn’t enough to cover more searches, Trustpoint “will not extend any further credit” to him, and his bill to keep his data held by the company will keep growing by the month, his court filings say. On Wednesday, the New York state judge in that case gave Giuliani two weeks to find the money needed to produce the records to Smartmatic. If he fails to do so, the judge said Giuliani would be forced to pay some of Smartmatic’s legal costs.
What is fun is if he doesn’t produce documents he may ultimately get sanctioned with negative inferences (instruction to the jury that they should assume anything Guliani didn’t turn over was basically a smoking gun against him) or a default judgement as to liability (see Alex Jones). He’s fucked lol. Damn I am never not fascinated by the epic fall of Guliani.
“This is not merely an excuse that Giuliani trudges out when required to produce documents,” his latest filing said.
I believe I recall that he ran away to avoid being served his court docs.
Def not a pattern of behavior. You can trust him. /s
Just imagine if he hadn’t hitched his wagon to the S.S. Trumptanic. He could be working a comfy legal/political analyst position at Fox News or CNN and not have to worry about losing his license, his credibility, his money, and his freedom. Oh well.
He could have remained, “America’s Mayor,” that 9/11 hero guy. Now he’s America’s Traitor.
That’s the part that really gets me. The guy had a stellar reputation after 9/11. All he had to do was ride those coattails into retirement. Instead, he had to show America his whole ass.
And he got into the NYC Mayor’s office largely in part due to his stellar reputation prosecuting mob bosses under RICO. It was a literal double-whammy of national (maybe even global) approval.
All he had to do was nothing. And he failed.
Except at family reunions after divorcing his cousin and all
His problem is he tried to ride those coattails to the Whitehouse and got trounced. I think it broke his brain. I need a well produced documentary about this scumbags rise and totally epic fall.
Seriously, how can you possibly look at his history of dealings and not know, going in, he’s going to screw you over / toss you under the bus the moment things get dicey.
If only he could get a plea deal and make it all go away.
Hmmm. Was he ever paid by his last client? How unusual.
That’s OK. An attorney can be appointed to him.
a $20,000 monthly fee to a company to host his electronic records, $15,000 or more for a search of his records
Props to the tech company ripping this guy off
Good thing Trump is a loyal friend who always pays his lawyers fully.
Hope he can scrape together enough doing Cameo clips. Couldn’t be happening to a better person.
That’s just one thing in the endless list of deficiencies.
sounds like he unleashed the wrong kraken.

It’s not that sad. The Four Seasons Lawn Care thing was the highlight of the coup attempt. In a way, you could say he soothed the nation after 2 major crises.
America’s Fuckup
