He could have just retired, but he had to try to steal an election.

I hope he goes to prison for his hubris.

We'll always have the four seasons total landscaping press conference, the ooze running down his head, the time he was recorded trying to have sex with an obvious honeypot, and his vapid 9/11ing to remember him by.

He's a manic disaster manifest.

Never trust people with pinkie rings.

Lots of Canadian engineers aren't going to like that.

Hey, now, when you graduate from engineering school in Canada. They are given a metal pinky ring to remind them of the Quebec bridge disaster, don't knock the pinky ring.

Hey :(

Looks like one of those class rings, maybe, and tjat could very well be a “peaked in college” thing.

He did the same thing getting served with these charges. He was nowhere to be found. He taunted the AG with a tweet the night before the deadline to serve, and they found his location from the photo. It was his 80th birthday party.

When you're in that deep, a honeypot is just getting laid. Why overthink it?

Given his connections to the Russian mafia I'm wondering if retiring was an option.

He then went on every cable news show to both cry victim and then repeatedly confess to his criminal acts.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


PHOENIX (AP) — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani pleaded not guilty Tuesday to nine felony charges stemming from his role in an effort to overturn Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Arizona to Joe Biden.

Former Arizona Republican Party chair Kelli Ward and at least 11 other people were also arraigned Tuesday for conspiracy, forgery and fraud charges in a Phoenix courtroom.

It says Ward failed to withdraw her vote as a fake elector even though no legal challenges changed the outcome of the presidential race in Arizona.

Last week, attorney John Eastman, who devised a strategy to try to persuade Congress not to certify the election, was the first defendant in the case to be arraigned, pleading not guilty to the charges.

Arizona is the fourth state where allies of the former president have been charged with using false or unproven claims about voter fraud related to the election.

A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time.
