> **[Rudy Giuliani surrenders in Georgia to face election interference charges](https://www.npr.org/2023/08/23/1195305201/rudy-giuliani-arrest-georgia-fulton-county)** > > Rudy Giuliani has surrendered in Atlanta to be booked as part of county prosecutors' investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Giuliani faces 13 felony counts. Nice mug shot (and no streaked cheeks)! Can someone make trading cards for all the COVID-19? (Criminal Operation for Voter Intimidation and Deception). Or maybe a poster with all of them on it, like down at the police station. ---

Honestly, it makes me sad. Rudy was never the a likable guy, but damn this is a big descent from what he was and what he did. ---

Seriously. How does one go from successful attorney, to mayor of one of the nation’s largest and most important cities, to “America’s Mayor”…to spreading conspiracy theories for a crooked, loser, lying shyster, to a mug shot at the Fulton County, GA jail. I mean, that’s like freefall. WTF was he thinking? “Hey, this is a nice private jet. I think I’ll just open the hatch and jump out without a parachute!” Idiot. ---

At least he appears neither drunk nor high in the mugshot. Old and strained, sure. But soberly old and strained. ---

His water company went out of business too, but he was still giving it away to some poor folks in a recent disaster. I bet he’s got tons of “Trump” stuff he never sold. Just another way to do laundry, doncha know? ---

I love how Rudy, who [lost his license](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/disciplinary-panel-recommends-giuliani-disbarred-2020-lawsuit-rcna93145) to practice law due to gross misconduct, accuses someone else of not understanding the law. 😆 ---

> Giuliani insisted he shouldn’t be charged in the election conspiracy because he had a “right to exaggerate” on behalf of Donald [Trump](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-news/?utm_campaign=SmartLinks). The thing is, he’s not being charged with “exaggerating” or even with blatant lying about a stolen election. What a fucking moron. ---

I know you can’t diagnose people over the news and Internet, but seriously, could Rudy be suffering some form of dementia or a brain tumor. I mean the way he’s been acting over the last 8 years or so compared to before 2008 is so different. ---
