Next we’ll hear that an AI wrote the press release and “hallucinated” the connection between the police responding to a domestic violence call and Giuliani’s nearby coincidental car crash. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > True, but who would want to have Rudy on their conscience? Unfortunately the “medical things” the nurses have does not include [burdizzos](https://tal-tec.co.za/product/castrator-19-burdizzo/), unless Rudy is in a veterinary hospital. But that specific surgical instrument could help solve several of his problemstic behaviours. ---

Not only had he rendered aid to a victim of domestic violence, he also had a box of abandoned kittens in his car that he was taking to the local children’s hospital to brighten the kids’ day. ---

When I read the news about this, I immediately thought of two things. 1. Someone is tying up loose ends… 2. The “press release’s” description of the accident and preceded events sounds like something the FSB would do… ---

Yeah. Was really chased out of house by screaming woman, hobbled to car before police arrived then popped it in reverse on the highway. ---

Someone is tying up loose ends… In a Coen Brothers film or a ripping game of [_Fiasco_](https://bullypulpitgames.com/products/fiasco) there are always loose ends. And Rudy Giuliani is definitely a character in one of those things.

Exactly, that’s why he didn’t die. He’s actually been dead for years but his brain is so perfectly pickled that he hasn’t realized it yet. ---

I honestly expected that article about the Presidential Medal of Freedom to be from _The Onion_. That it’s a real news story shows that Trump is no longer satisfied with having degraded this formerly prestigious award to being totally worthless, but is now handing it out to criminals. ---

That it’s a real news story shows that Trump is no longer satisfied with having degraded this formerly prestigious award to being totally worthless, but is now handing it out to criminals. . Trump believes there can never be enough degradation. Seriously, all the Dictators’ Handbooks advise maximizing degradation. As for Rudy: I wonder if the press can be bothered to dig up the actual facts of his accident. He’s not exactly click-bait anymore. > [@scudsucker](#): > > Unfortunately the “medical things” the nurses have does not include [burdizzos](https://tal-tec.co.za/product/castrator-19-burdizzo/), unless Rudy is in a veterinary hospital.
