Poor Lil’ Rudy
Remember when Rudy Giuliani was considered “America’s Mayor?” Well, now the rest of the world can see the aint-shitness that some (ahem...Black) New Yorkers have been talking about for years. Trump’s personal lawyer is finding himself further and further up shit’s creek without a paddle and almost without a boat as his dealings in the Ukraine are becoming more clear. What we know so far is that he positioned himself to make big bank from Ukraine in the midst of the impeachment scandal unfolding. Plus, he was named honorary mayor in a small Ukrainian village. Weird, we know. Also, he’s being investigated on up to 9 charges in the state of New York,, so it’s only a matter of time before more dirt comes out. Perhaps the clearest sign of this is his bestie Trump is distancing himself...like he does with everyone he’s getting ready to throw under the bus.
