CNN — Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia election workers who won a nearly $150 million verdict against Rudy Giuliani for defamation on Friday, have sued him again, asking a federal judge to permanently prohibit him from lying about them.

The lawsuit comes as Giuliani has continued to make false statements about their work as absentee ballot counters in the 2020 election.

Ignoring a court order can lead to jail time. Not enough for being part of an attempted coup, but I'll take any of these assholes getting any time in jail at this point.

Dude will be 80 next year, likely ANY jail time is a death sentence.

My plan for when I am in my 70s is to not be a traitorous lying sack of shit so I won't get thrown in jail and die there. That fucker has been dodging consequences for decades.

My plan for when I'm 70 is to die in the water riots. Or possibly shot dead by Google Amazon compliance agents for using an adblocker.

It's good to have solid plans like this!

Not a problem here unless they start breaking our rules too.

He'd play the "too sick for jail" card and show up to court with an oxygen tank

Didn't work for Harvey Weinstein. Fuck him.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Lol I remember Weinstein and his Walker with tennis balls on the feet

"He's not sick! His black fluid has probably just leaked out of his head again. Dump some 10-W30 in his ear and haul him away!"

Except he wouldn't be wearing a nasal cannula or oxygen mask, because it would smudge the caked-on orange shit he smears on his face.

[-] MisterD@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Right now I'd settle to see Rudy in an orange jump suit because of these lies while going to court in Georgia

[-] quindraco@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

No judge is going to issue a civil court order restricting someone's speech in perpetuity (and if they did, the judge would end up in hot water). That's just not what they're for.
