Rudy Is F**ked


Donald Trump's on again, off again personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, is in trouble like never before.

Rolling Stone is reporting that federal prosecutors working with special counsel Jack Smith want to know exactly how drunk Rudy was on election night when he suggested Trump just flat out lie and claim he won, and then plotted to overturn the election results.

"I think the mayor was definitely intoxicated, but I do not know his level of intoxication when he spoke with the president," testified Jason Miller, former aide to Trump, when asked at the January 6th investigation.

In addition, this week a federal judge ruled that Rudy was liable for defaming two Georgia election workers claiming they purposely mishandled a suitcase full of illegal ballots, and "passed around a thumb drive like vials of heroin." 

In July, he admitted he lied about the two election workers.

Drowning in legal bills, Rudy begged Trump to help him financially, but Trump, who notoriously stiffs people who work for him, refused.

New Polls: Large Majority of Americans Agree Jan 6 Was Trump's Fault and He Interfered in GA Vote Count

According to a brand new Associated Press / NORC poll, a whopping 64% of U.S. adults agree Donald J. Trump did indeed interfere in Georgia's election vote count. 51% said his actions were illegal; 13% say they were unethical. Only 15% said he did nothing wrong. The poll gives "undecided" 20%. 

This means that if all undecided voters changed their minds and said he did nothing wrong, that would still only add up to 35%. And 64% still agree he interfered.

The same poll states that 65% of U.S. adults agree that his role in inciting the violent riots on January 6, 2021 was either illegal or unethical.

A recent ABC News / Ipsos poll also says 63% of American adults agree the charges against Trump from the Georgia Grand Jury are either serious or somewhat serious.

This is not the news Donald or his ever-shrinking base of apologists wanted to hear.

It seems that the public -- even those who don't pay much attention to the news -- is finally figuring out he acted illegally in sending rioters to the Capitol and brow-beating Georgia's secretary of state into "finding 11,780 votes" that were never cast for him. 

Trump is blowing through his campaign donations and those of the Republican party on his legal bills. His rallies are getting smaller. Even Fox is refusing to carry his grievance-filled, woe-is-me rallies. More and more of his top advisors and cohorts like Mike Pence and Bill Barr are speaking out and clearly stating his tired claims of voter fraud are "bullshit."

The Countdown Has Begun

August 25 at twelve noon is the deadline for Convicted Sexual Predator and current Criminal Defendant Trump to travel to the Fulton County Jail, surrender, get arrested, booked, fingerprinted, and take a mug shot. Same with all 18 of his criminal co-defendants.

“Unless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn’t matter your status, we’ll have a mugshot ready for you,” Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said recently.

The sweeping 41-count indictment also names lawyers John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis and Ray Smith, as well as several others. All were charged with violating Georgia’s RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) law.

As of this moment, all 19 defendants will be tried together, and the trial is scheduled to begin in the next six months. Whether or not that schedule stays intact remains to be seen.
