Rudy Giuliani Says He's Too Broke to Buy Food Amid Defamation Suit Struggle

Source: Daily Beast

Published Nov. 9 2024 5:16PM EST


Rudy Giuliani has alleged that he doesn’t have enough money to feed himself after a federal judge ordered him to start paying the $148 million judgment he faces for defaming Georgia poll workers in the wake of the 2020 election. The former New York City mayor and close ally to Donald Trump took to X to whine about his fiscal woes and beg followers to donate to his fundraising campaign.

“Wilkie Farr Law firm and Judge Liman are trying to inhibit me from making a living,” he wrote. “They seized my measly checking account so I can’t buy food. Help me fight.” The post linked to Giuliani’s campaign, hosted on GiveSendGo, a Christian alternative to GoFundMe favored by white nationalists. Giuliani, in about half a day, had raised nearly $100,000—and received over 250 “prayers.”

“America’s Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, has been persecuted to the highest level through lawfare due to his support of President Donald Trump,” the campaign’s description reads. “Therefore, we are raising funds to go directly to his legal defense.”

Giuliani has so far failed to pay up on the eye-popping figure he owes to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the mother-daughter Georgia ballot-counting duo who sued Trump’s former attorney for comments he made in which he falsely accused them of election fraud. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman scolded Giuliani and gave him a week to hand over the valuable property he still owes.

5. Why was he given yet another week to comply?

This is where the law fails. He has proven his non compliance AND he used to be an officer of the court. He blew past any consideration 10 hearings ago.

He should have been taken to jail directly.

If judges don’t tighten up their ship the lawsuits filed against the next administration won’t be decided until we’re all dead.

If the Russian Mafia is running any garbage trucks, maybe he can get a drop off from them.

Maybe once, but in recent pics, his suits look like they have a lot of extra room in them.

I'd post a pic to illustrate, but I don't want to subject everyone to that.

Dear kindly social worker
They tell me get a job
Like be a soda jerker
Which means I'd be a slob

It's not I'm antisocial
I'm only antiwork
Gloriosky! That's why I'm a jerk!

and the social worker replies...
Dear Officer Krupke, you've done it again!
This boy don't need a job. He needs a year in the pen!
It ain't just a question of misunderstood...
Deep down inside him, he's no good!

But seriously, Walmart's always hiring. He could work there.

Hold a cardboard sign that says: "Homeless need food" and see how others have to survive.
Best if he can get a dog to sit with him.

If his Fund Me page says "the money will go directly to legal costs" he can't very well use it to write checks for food or other things he may want.

dependent upon working for free for the City, e.g., street and sidewalk cleaning, raking leaves, etc. And that way, he could fire union workers to free up the work. It didn't go through, but kind of ironic Rudy finds himself in this situation, eh?

New Yorkers have long bestowed this moniker cuz you sure love dressing up in drag doncha? Case in point: that famed 2000 youtube of The Monster feeing you up at some charity ball as well as many other occasions. You're never happier, Miss Thing. So take this tip: get your act together and take it on the road. Of course you'd better avoid states that crack down own drag-queens. But think of the $$$$$ you could make in your true calling. You can do it!
