US Elections 2020 IV: The Two Gentlemen of Corona

That crack pipe is hilarious. It looks like a crack pipe but he's smoking it like a meerschaum.

If I was made for life cos of my dad's successful career, I would smoke a crack pipe like a meerschaum too.

Fucking hell, somebody has reincarnated Bruce Forsyth as a car.

"How would that car sound though, Eddie?"
"Well, Syd...

Kracken released!

Has Giuliani lost it or was he always like this? I know New Yorkers who never liked him and note that the way he was lionised after September 11th allowed people outside the city to gloss over some of his failings, but surely somebody with that temperament couldn't have managed to carry in on politics for so long without badly burning himself?

He also managed to take on the mafia as DA, so he must have had at least some legal nous at one point.

Isn't part of the problem is that he is being asked to do impossible things and that virtually any solicitor would look foolish filing cases where there is so little basis? Not all of them would look as ridiculous or be happy pushing the grift and the propaganda as he has, but we shouldn't put the quality of his work purely down to his diminished legal mind, when the fact is that no solicitor could ever dream of bringing it up to scratch.

Giuliani pulled another fraud-dozy yesterday. Big press conference in Pennsylvania, that Trump was due to attend, to announce that there was a massive disparity in mail-in ballots sent out (1.8 million) and received (2.6 million). (The other 800,000 or so were obviously magicked out of nowhere and brought to the vote count in a big truck marked Sleepy Joe's Big Vote Fraud Delivery Service - this is not actually that far from what they genuinely believe).

... except Rudy's figure of 1.8 million ballots actually came from the Democratic primaries. He (or his assistants) had looked the wrong bit of the website, and immediately leapt on it as the smoking gun they'd been hoping for. Weirdly enough, Trump didn't turn up to the conference, and instead literally phoned in a message of support. Now the people of TheDonald and r/conservative are wondering if Rudy might not be the 12D chess grandmaster they'd hoped, and maybe Trump should have kept Sidney Powell on instead. Desperate times for the MAGA cult.

Of course not, the cases are so frivolous that they have no chance of success at all, but he's grossly embarrassed himself by involving himself in this crap. I'd like to think most people would've walked away by this point, even if they were close to Trump.

[steve98]

Why hasn't Trump sacked him yet? He must look at his performances and cringe; he must know it makes him look like a clown by association havin' him as his lawyer (and "Elite Legal Task Force" Leader ffs).

[Dayraven]

Giuliani hasn't been an attorney in court since 1992. Good way to be severely out of practice even if you were as mentally sharp as ever.

recommended listening on Giuliani.

I doubt there are alternative lawyers queuing up to file this nonsense if he gives Rudy the chop.

Thanks, I'll listen to that. My curiosity was piqued by a New Yorker I know who has an extensive knowledge of the city's political history and who pointed out that he wasn't surprised by recent events, as he's always considered Giuliani to be a prick.

[Norton Canes]

I'm not satisfied with this. If the Joemobile is so broke down, how come it managed to cross the finish line first? Explanation lacking.

Presumably fired up from the fumes from his lad's crack pipe. Not even the Mighty Donald can beat a man raging off his tits from hitting the rock for hours on end.

[Cuellar]

Because they jammed the chequered flag into his bumper, so he'd always be first. So presumably he didn't even need to start his car. In fact, if he DID need to start his car then he'll never reach the chequered flag, it will be forever just out of reach, no matter how fast he goes.

So sad.

Is the white stain on the bonnet meant to be Bill Clinton's famous spunk on the blue dress? Because it's the Democrats, you see.

I'm surprised that the Number on the Trump Car isn't 88 as well.

It's quite staggeringly inept, but the MAGAs are lapping it up. Presumably Powell is going all in to grift as much as she can get her hands on before she gets disbarred.

So, we're just going to share every Ben Garrison sketch, multiple times, until the heat death of the universe? "Boiling water still hot", says person who sticks their hand in it for the hundredth time.

Giuliani is on record as stating he doesn't care how ridiculous he is made to look. And when you see how well Trump did by behaving without shame you can see why slime like him try and follow suit. He's a fully signed up MAGA warrior, shameless, an incompetent ailing Terminator returning to the scene to ramraid the building in his motability scooter.

Moving on from your post to a wider discussion, when people cynically claim America will be the same either way whether it is Biden or Trump it is not true. The normalising of individual moral debauchery is not a constant and its something that has been helped to flourish under Trump who is after all, the role model of it. The lowering of individual personal morals in the last 5 or 6 years is a poison Obama never inflicted (although he is at fault for allowing this to come to pass) and the development of post-truth is a matter of national psychological trauma.

Removing cancer doesn't guarantee you will have a great life, but it does mean the cancer is gone, and attention can be paid to the other important day to day battles.

Ahh come on, it is just a bit of fun. If we can't laugh at an American loon drawing Bruce Forsyth reincarnated as a broken down car being driven by the president-elect's son while being chased by a racecar wearing a wig then what can we laugh at?

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

I find it mildly diverting, though it is tiresome having to paw over every single creation, I have made my peace with the fact people want to do that. Ideally it should have a separate thread because loads of people seem into it.

It's not every image. I haven't seen the insane anti-vaxxer ones reposted, just the insane Trump ones.

[ajsmith2]

He's insanely prolific, only about half of his stuff (if even that) ends up on here.

Garrison haters can take solace in the mildly likely possibility that as Trump fades from prominence, so too will the relevance of posting Ben's work in threads like these.

[Alberon]

Can't resist.

Here's another Garrison one where the labelling has gone even more ridiculously over the top.



Even Brant would be embarrassed by that.

[evilcommiedictator]

Ah yes, Biden famous for issuing memos. Luckily "Turkey Joe" also has Joe Biden's head, in case it wasn't obvious
