Stolen from elsewhere:

BREAKING: Rudy Giuliani in “critical condition” but reportedly receiving very best medical care at Johns Hopkins Flooring and Drywall.

I laughed.

“Wished him well” ?!! Heck, according to Right Wing propaganda, he is the reincarnation of Christ, so why doesn’t he just heal him instead?

Healing magic doesn’t work on undead, therefore Trump can’t use divine healing on Ghouliani.

God DAMMIT!

Rudy Giuliani breathing on his own after being hospitalized for pneumonia

[Czarcasm]

I would still hold a mirror up to his nose to see if he is actually breathing, and not just going through the motions.

No, but necromancy can work on undead, and who has a more romantic neck than Trump?

[Chronos]

On the one hand, he did perform admirably on 9/11.

On the other hand, he instantly pissed away whatever credit he deserves for that, when he started denying that 9/11 ever happened.

God DAMMIT!

I guess that Rudy won’t be joining the ranks of the good republicans any time soon. Shucks.

[BobLibDem]

I don’t think Rudy did anything after 9/11 that any other mayor wouldn’t have done. People kept saying how wonderful he was on 9/11- for what, exactly?

[Jackmannii]

Well, the commander of the 779th Dental Squadron summarized Giuliani’s role thusly:

On and after 9/11, Mayor Giuliani was out in front of the public and very visible. He visited ground zero at least six times on 9/11 and, as he states in his book “Leadership,” “I needed to see with my own eyes the disaster site and our rescue operations, and get a sense of what we would be dealing with in the months to come.”…
He was a great communicator. He took charge of the message, and it was one of hope and optimism. He was calm and composed. Mayor Giuliani wrote that he “had to communicate with the public, to do whatever I could to calm people down and communicate with them.”

There are naysayers over at the Wikipedia entry on the subject.

Giuliani claimed on August 9, 2007, that “I was at Ground Zero as often, if not more, than most workers… I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I’m one of them.” This angered NY Fire and Police personnel 911 workers.[19][20][21] A New York Times study a week later found that he spent a total of 29 hours over three months at the site; his appointment logs were unavailable for the six days immediately following the attacks. This contrasted with recovery workers at the site who spent this much time at the site in two to three days. The recovery workers often spent hundreds of hours working 8- to 12-hour shifts.

Successfully pursued them from whom? If the person who owed the money is dead, who do you go after next?

From the estate. The estate is still an active entity until it is settled in full. Some jurisdictions require the executor of the estate to put a notice in a newspaper or some such place informing any potential creditors that they have a certain amount of time to make a claim on the estate.

Credit card debt must be paid out of the estate funds. Any outstanding loans must be paid. The executor handles this.

I suppose if there is not enough money when all assets of the estate are liquidated, then the creditors have to fight it out. The executor is then responsible for fair and equitable distribution.

ONLY after all debts are paid, then if there are people who stand to inherit, they get their share.

… Any outstanding loans must be paid. …

A minor quibble clarification: thanks to the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982, a lender cannot enforce a due-on-sale clause if the property in question is inherited by a relative (it’s a tad more nuanced, but that’s the gist). It’s true that the loan must be repaid, but settling the estate does not depend on it —* the heir assumes responsibility for the payments, and the loan continues under his/her name.

* Em dash alert: I must be a bot!

[BobLibDem]

Meh. So he went to the site. Anyone else would have. So he portrayed optimism. Big deal, it’s what anyone would have done. What most people wouldn’t have done would be patting themselves on the back for 25 years since then. He’s like the kid who won a football game for his high school 25 years ago and won’t stop talking about it.

[Son_of_a_Rich]

His ear healed up nicely. Now he needs to do something about that rope burn.

Bwhuuuh?

[ParallelLines]

At a guess, @chronos is referring to this incident:

https://www.npr.org/2016/08/16/490200895/rudy-giuliani-claims-no-terror-attacks-in-u-s-pre-obama

Rudolph Giuliani appeared to forget the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001, while warming up a crowd for Donald Trump’s foreign policy speech on Monday.

…

“By the way,” Giuliani said, “under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States. They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office.”
