Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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 5 days ago (1 children)

I hope the cars not too badly damaged.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago

Won't someone think of the roads?

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days 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 3 days 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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 33 points 5 days 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 5 days ago

Hope the other driver is okay

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

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

Stop hitting the car, FFS. 🤌🏼

They keep surviving is the worst part

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Is there a place accepting bets on his BAC%?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

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

[–] blackbearjesus27@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days 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 4 days ago

Some people deserve to be hurt intentionally

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Foofighter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 days ago

If only it hadn't have health insurance

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Crap. How's the car?

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

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

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I hope he has a slow agonizing descent.

[–] oddspinnaker9295@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days 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.

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

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

How many did you start with?

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

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

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I swore this guy died a couple years ago.

Who's this bag-o-bones?

[–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Sounds like Donald Trump is trying to eliminate former supporters who are not politically convenient

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Nah. There are far easier ways to end an 81 year old. They’d be the most Wish-level assassins ever. Even trump would pay better than that.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

In a Waymo w/ a How-To book by AI from Temu, no less.

[–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He doesn’t even pay his own lawyers.

He is famous for not paying the people working for him.

So only an idiot would take up his dirty work.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Still, drugstore poison would be not only easier but more effective, slip something into his coffee. He’s a notorious womaniser – have a beautiful girl roofie him in public, at a street cafe. Easy.

Trying to set up a car accident would be stupid. And yes, they’re stupid, but if you had to kill someone for $100, would you try to engineer a car accident or would you roofie him, a guy with known heart issues?

[–] JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Giuliani was a big mafia boss breaker in the 1980s, that's how he became famous. He is a marked man now Donnie has dumped him.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Was wondering this and if this sorry excuse is also on the Epstein list.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

NGL, I was hoping he had it on him in the wreck.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The one near the dildo emporium?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days 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.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

That's the one.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 days 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.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Eh, no one cares. Get bent, fascist.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

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

in some other timeline this weekend huh? worst timeline ever

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

He didn’t feel a thing, though.
