question: how did Rudy Giuliani go from being America’s Mayor to being a complete piece of degenerate s***?

answer: Rudy Giuliani was never America’s Mayor. he has always been a complete piece of degenerate s***.

Upgrade to paid

Rudy’s been in the news these days, and not for any cheery, uplifting reason.

Giuliani, the lawsuit alleged, liked to work with Dunphy at home and at hotels “so that he could easily transition from work, to demanding sexual gratification, and back to work. Thus, Ms. Dunphy worked under the virtually constant threat that Giuliani might initiate sexual contact at any moment.”

oh my god. eww.

Giuliani “then pulled her head onto his penis, without asking for or obtaining any form of consent. He held her by her hair,” the lawsuit states. “It became clear to Ms. Dunphy that there was no way out of giving him oral sex. She did so, against her will.”

oh no. no. no no no no no. ugh. ugh.

shades of Borat 2.

how did we get here? Rudy Giuliani was once a respected prosecutor, and then a popular mayor. how did Rudy sink so low?

the answer is that Rudy never had that far to sink. he’s always been an amoral grandstanding power-hungry degenerate.

let us count the ways.

he’s always been an attention-hungry publicity hog.

in the 1980s, Giuliani was the US Attorney for the SDNY. he loved the attention that high-profile arrests brought him.

there was just one small problem: case after case fell apart or got thrown out of court, because for Rudy, getting his name in the newspapers was more important than getting actual justice.

Giuliani's critics said that he arranged for people to be arrested but then dropped charges for lack of evidence on high-profile cases rather than going to trial. In a few cases, his arrests of alleged white-collar criminals at their workplaces with charges later dropped or lessened sparked controversy and damaged the reputations of the alleged "perps".[52]

Rudy Giuliani ruined lives. did he care? **** no. he got what he wanted: his face on TV.

he’s always been a raging misogynist.

his first wife was his second cousin.

he ended his second marriage via a press conference.

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's marital problems exploded yesterday in a public exchange with his wife, Donna Hanover. The mayor abruptly announced that he was seeking a separation from Ms. Hanover, and Ms. Hanover, caught unaware, then said that the couple's troubles began years ago because of a previous relationship between the mayor and a member of his staff.

he’s always been a total ******* idiot.

Rudy’s incompetence actually made the events of 9/11 worse.

Giuliani has been widely criticized for his decision to locate the Office of Emergency Management headquarters on the 23rd floor inside the 7 World Trade Center building. Those opposing the decision perceived the office as a target for a terrorist attack in light of the previous terrorist attack against the World Trade Center in 1993.[130][131][132] The office was unable to coordinate efforts between police and firefighters properly while evacuating its headquarters.[133]

first responders died becase of Giuliani’s idiotic decisions. did that bother him? **** no. 9/11 was a ******* gold mine for Rudy because once again he got what he always wanted: his face in front of a TV camera, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months on end.

all because George W. Bush froze in panic, leaving a power vacuum for Rudy to wedge his way into.

and of course, Giuliani traded on his 9/11 fame for years, when in reality his bad decisions made the death and carnage so much worse.

oh, and speaking of that WTC command center? rumor has it that Rudy used it as a love shack.

Mark Kleiman and I have been discussing the theory that the disaster recovery bunker in WTC 7 was placed so as to make the best love nest for Rudy Giuliani and his then-extramarital-girlfriend (now wife).

what a class act.

he’s always been power-mad jackass.

still basking in the glow of his unmerited 9/11 glory, Rudy wanted it to never end.

Rudy Giuliani secretly asked then-New York Gov. George Pataki to cancel New York City’s 2001 mayoral election so he could remain in office following the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a new book reveals.

huh. canceling an election. refusing to leave office. does any of that sound familiar?

the rest, as they say, is history. the years have seen Rudy squander his unearned legacy (while making a fortune in the security industry by trading on his imaginary accomplishments), with one buffoonish act following another.

Four Season Total ******* Clownshoes Dipshittery, anyone?

so please remember, Rudy Giuliani has never been America’s Mayor. he’s never been on America’s side. he’s always been out for himself and he’s always been a total ****head.

Rudy Giuliani's accuser was entangled in a vicious domestic violence lawsuit when he promised to help — only to abuse her himself, court documents allege

• Noelle Dunphy says she agreed to work for Giuliani when he promised a $1 million salary and free legal help.

• At the time, Dunphy was embroiled in a messy court battle with a wealthy, "abusive" ex, court papers state.

• Instead of helping, Giuliani was "aroused" by the details of her past abuse, she alleges in a lawsuit.

Rudy Giuliani's sex-assault accuser says in her lawsuit that she agreed to work for him because he was the personal lawyer for then-President Donald Trump — and he had promised to represent her for free in her own nasty, longstanding court battle with an allegedly abusive ex-boyfriend.

But instead of helping her, the Scotch-swilling, Viagra-popping Giuliani would become "aroused" as he plied her for details of her prior abuse, her lawsuit alleges.

And throughout her two years working as Giuliani's director of business development, from 2019 to early 2021, he sexually assaulted her himself — including while discussing the case with her — perpetuating a "cycle of abuse," she claims. Giuliani has denied the allegations made in the lawsuit.

"As Ms. Dunphy would soon learn, Giuliani's probing questions were not designed to help him provide legal advice," alleges Dunphy's lawsuit, filed Monday in state court in Manhattan.

"Rather, Ms. Dunphy would come to understand that Giuliani was aroused by discussing her sexual history and violent relationships. Ms. Dunphy did not know it yet, but Giuliani would force her to repeat the cycle of abuse she had suffered," the lawsuit alleges.

Insider has reviewed that protracted, previous court battle that Dunphy alleges Giuliani had promised to help her with — a series of lawsuits and counter-suits with a wealthy developer that careened for seven years through state and federal court in New York.

Insider is omitting key, identifying details, including the ex's name, in order to protect Dunphy's privacy as a sexual assault accuser. She first filed suit against her ex in 2015 as "Jane Doe."

Dunphy and her ex settled that lawsuit in October of 2016. But the aftershocks reverberated through the courts for another six years as she tried to back out of the settlement, as a federal appeals court forced it to be upheld, and as the developer ultimately refused to hand over the $10,000 he'd originally been ordered to pay her.

Giuliani's name indeed turns up in the court papers of that battle.

After a federal judge finally entered a judgment against Dunphy's ex last May — forcing him to pony up the $10,000 — Dunphy wrote a letter asking the judge to sanction Giuliani.

Dunphy told the judge that Giuliani was her "secret legal advisor for years" and gave directions to the lawyer of record who represented her in the case.

But Giuliani was slinging insults at her on Twitter and had revealed her true name in connection with the case, Dunphy alleged.

She asked the judge to fine Giuliani $10,000 per day, also citing the fact that he faced disciplinary proceedings for his law licenses in New York and Washington, DC because of his endorsement of election conspiracy theories.

"The lawyer is Rudy Giuliani, currently disbarred for unethical behavior such as inciting violence and/or lying and/or suggesting President Biden, Democrats and Republicans should be carried out as traitors if they don't blindly follow Trump," Dunphy wrote in the letter.

"I realize ongoing investigations against Trump and Giuliani are far more important than the case about me being assaulted by Defendant here," she wrote. "Yet the cases are now intertwined."

Dunphy sought Giuliani's help at a low point

According to Dunphy's current lawsuit against Giuliani, she first began working for him in January of 2019.

She notes that Giuliani was "at the height of his influence" by then, serving as then-President Donald Trump's personal lawyer. Giuliani offered his legal help to Dunphy as "an added inducement" to hire her, the lawsuit says,

"Giuliani also offered to provide pro bono legal representation to Ms. Dunphy in connection with an ongoing dispute arising from an abusive ex-partner," Dunphy's lawsuit against Giuliani says.

"To Ms. Dunphy, the chance to work for an influential politician once dubbed 'America's Mayor,' combined with the prospect of free legal representation by a former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, was a rare opportunity that was simply too good to pass up."

As personal lawyer to a sitting president, Giuliani was certainly in a position of power as he hired Dunphy. But her case looked bleak at that point of the litigation, a review of court records shows.

She first filed her lawsuit against the developer in 2015. He filed a countersuit in 2016, making his own ugly counter-accusations of defamation, fraud, theft, and sexual improprieties.

According to a copy of their settlement agreement, which was reviewed by Insider, the real estate developer agreed to pay Dunphy the $10,000 in exchange for her waiving any claims against him. Both of them also agreed not to disparage each other, and to stay away from each other physically and virtually "in perpetuity."

Trying to back out of the settlement, Dunphy argued that her lawyer didn't adequately represent her interests, that she didn't understand what she was agreeing to, and that she had previously turned down a proposed settlement offer of $100,000.

In April of 2017, the federal judge overseeing the case ordered that the settlement be enforced anyway. An appellate court upheld the settlement as well, in January of 2019.

It was at this time, according to Dunphy's lawsuit, that she met Giuliani.

Giuliani took advantage of Dunphy's legal troubles, her lawsuit alleges

Far from helping Dunphy with her legal morass, Giuliani "abused his position as Ms. Dunphy's lawyer to pressure her into sex," her lawsuit claims.

"In one instance, for example, Giuliani promised Ms. Dunphy that he would give her $300,000 if she would forgo her legal rights in connection with her pending case and "f--- me like crazy," the lawsuit alleges.

During legal consultations concerning her case with her ex, Giuliani asked her for "extremely personal details relating to her past, including explicit details about prior sexual encounters," she alleges.

"Research," Giuliani called it.

His legal advice was sub-par and self-serving, she alleges.

"Giuliani told Ms. Dunphy that he wanted her to end her domestic violence litigation because he felt it was interfering with his sex life with her, and he did not want her to be 'distracted' by it," the lawsuit says.

In her letter to the judge, Dunphy wrote that Giuliani "preyed on" another considerably younger "vulnerable female" who was a victim of domestic violence. She said that "America can do better."

"We can't let the Court be an enabler for abusive men. I ask the Court to make a bold statement in defense of human rights," she said.

The judge denied her request for sanctions against Giuliani and closed the docket.

Soon afterward, she sued Giuliani directly.

Giuliani has denied Dunphy's allegations, and has insisted through a spokesman that "his lifetime of public service speaks for itself and he will pursue all available remedies and counterclaims."
