Well, right after the verdict he told live TV that the original allegations were true, so the amount of shit that can be force fed to this ghoul isn't nearly enough to make up for the defamation. So I say the court should give them rights to everything he owns, including his clothes. If in a charitable mood, he can stay under a blanket in a cardboard box on the streets of NYC - He's literally made his own bed there while mayor.

And of course:

Eat shit, rudy!

And be treated with the same dignity and respect that Rudy treated African Americans when he was the Mayor.

Out of the loop on this one, as I've never been to NYC. Is that to say be treated with kindness and respect?

........oh, I can see by your facial reaction that's not at all what you meant! That would suggest this Rudy fellow may not have been a very nice individual.

I've just been handed a letter.

Oh, this describes what kind of a mayor he was.

Oh.....oh my.......well that seems like the type of gentleman that can eat a buffet of dicks, before suffering a quite painful and humiliating death. Perhaps nonstop involuntarily shitting until your body runs out of natural fluids, so you start shitting blood, and eventually die of blood loss. All on a central park bench, as everyone ignores you.

Pretty sure he already did lol. Trump owes him millions he'll never see.

The fucking planet will be better

Oh no, Rutabaga! How will you record your shitty podcast when you’re living on the streets and bumming around on the sofas of anyone who’ll take you in? Poor Rutabaga, try not to cry!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'll allow it

Other people giving Rudy stuff should also be warned that giving him material aid will open them up to having to reimburse the claimants. No free penthouse etc.
