All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

Rudy Giuliani is recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries following a car crash in New Hampshire, a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor said Sunday.

Giuliani’s vehicle was struck from behind while traveling on a highway Saturday evening, according to a statement posted on X by Michael Ragusa, Giuliani’s head of security.

“He sustained injuries but is in good spirits and recovering tremendously,” Ragusa said, adding: “This was not a targeted attack.”

Giuliani, 81, was taken to a nearby trauma center and was being treated for injuries including “a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg,” according to Ragusa.

Oh no! I hope the other driver is okay!

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope the cars not too badly damaged.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Won't someone think of the roads?

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you imagine getting up from a car crash and seeing this ghoul? I'd think I'd have died and gone to hell

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I'd be fearfully looking around for my own body, if that thing stood up from the wreck.

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm amazed he can even afford a spokesperson at this point... let alone a car.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 year ago

Four Seasons Landscaping is representing him for free following his bang up ad campaign he did for them for free.

[–] Envy@fedia.io 47 points 1 year ago

Hope the other driver is okay

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“Sir, a second Honda has now crashed into Rudy’s car.”

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Stop hitting the car, FFS. 🤌🏼

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there a place accepting bets on his BAC%?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think in his case it's ABC. The blood content in his alcohol.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he probably had too much blood in his alchohol system.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I bet it was non-zero, but he was not driving anyway.

They keep surviving is the worst part

[–] blackbearjesus27@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m honestly shocked he had a spine to break /s

No one deserves to get hurt in an accident. That’s about all I can say.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

Some people deserve to be hurt intentionally

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope he has a slow agonizing descent.

[–] oddspinnaker9295@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, some people keep living to easily disprove the existence of a caring god.

The people supporting them are the ones who consider themselves religious, after all.

[–] Foofighter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

If only it hadn't have health insurance

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He's still alive. His car was badly designed.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neat. My next wish is to end world hunger.
Go!

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

How many did you start with?

He's best known for giving a press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The one near the dildo emporium?

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

That's the one.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Everything about that stupid press conference was....chef's kiss...when it came to the hilarity.

That's when we also learned that the election was called for Biden, too, and that Dementia Donnie lost. Seeing Roodles reaction to that was just so very perfectly illustrative of everything about how the unhinged right deals with reality, factual reporting and losing.

Not to mention the fact that I don't think any apparatchik officially apologized or explained just how the hell they ended up next to the dildo store instead of at the hotel...never admitting mistakes, never ceding any ground - also perfectly emblematic of all of these right wing jagoffs.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

he knows too much, apparently

His first request is to find an intern to tuck his shirt into his pants as he's prone, like the rest of the guys.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Live look at diver involved in accident after realizing that Rudy lived.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I swore this guy died a couple years ago.

Who's this bag-o-bones?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Crap. How's the car?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He didn’t feel a thing, though.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Should have been riding in a cybertruck...click, FWWOOOSH.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Eh, no one cares. Get bent, fascist.
