    If Giuliani could do it how hard can it be? Seems that you don’t even have to have a grasp on reality.

        9/11 era Giuliani was also more or less working directly with the Russian mob, because he did a great job in the years leading up to it of scraping out the Italian mob (say what you will about them, but at the end of the day, they were staunch anti-fascists), leaving an enormous power vacuum that the Russian mob quietly filled. It was very much a situation of “better the devil you know” that was categorically and intentionally ignored. Organized crime is of course not great, but at the same time, the Russian mob is on a whole different level - not to mention, they’re effectively a branch of the Russian state.

        You mean the same Giuliani who lost an election and took a mob of racisr police to occupy city hall to prevent a black guy from being sworn in as mayor?

          Someone lied to you.

          David Dinkins was Mayor before Giuliani.

          He lost his election.

          Rudy did bring a mob of cops to city hall, but they never “occupied” it.

          I hate Rudy as much as anyone, but keep the facts straight.

        9/11 era Giuliani was more coherent. The man is losing it.

        Chronic alcoholism finally caught up with him.
