Giuliani Whines to Pals That He’s Trapped in a ‘Nightmare World’: Report
LIVING HELL

Rudy Giuliani, once America’s mayor, is now trapped in a hell of his own making. Having filed for bankruptcy after a jury determined he should fork over $148 million for defaming two Georgia election workers, the former Trump lawyer is far from out of the woods, facing a bevy of pending court cases, not least of which is the Fulton County racketeering case that names him as a co-defendant alongside his ex-boss. As such, he’s been gasping to friends about the “nightmare world” he’s living in, according to the New York Post. At Mar-a-Lago last week for a Republican congressional hopeful’s fundraiser, Giuliani was also overheard saying that “he wakes up everyday and can’t believe it’s real,” according to an eavesdropping Post source. The insider said that there have been “non-stop fundraisers” at the Florida estate lately, with sometimes as many as two or three separate benefits being held in one night. Perhaps Giuliani, who did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment, is hoping that one of those events might bear his name sometime soon.

Apparently that "nightmare" doesn't include any regrets for the part he played in creating his current reality. He is a creepy, corrupt opportunist and his many misdeeds have finally caught up with him. He knew the legal system, he should have seen it coming.

We know you're not used to experiencing them, so it's not surprising that they would be unfamiliar to you...

He was looking for fame and found infamy. He took his ride to hell on Trump's coattails. A fall from great heights is very painful, America's mayor is now America's laughingstock and he knows it; it must be a hellish way to end his life.

with $15 million of that total from his business activities, including his work with lobbying firm Giuliani Partners, according to CNN. At the time, he earned about $17 million a year ...

Giuliani faces considerable expenses, hurt by a third divorce and pricey lawsuits, and signs suggest they have taken a financial toll. To generate cash, he's sold 9/11 shirts for $911 and pitched sandals sold by Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell. He also started selling video messages on Cameo for $325 a pop, although his page on the site says Giuliani is no longer available.

Giuliani owes about $3 million in legal fees, according to The New York Times. He earns about $400,00 a year from a radio show and also receives some income from a podcast, but it's not enough to cover his debts, the newspaper reported. Earlier this year, Giuliani's long-term attorney sued him, alleging that the former mayor owes him almost $1.4 million in legal fees ...

could be stopped by some shit cop at any time and have to present ID and/or be frisked for any reason at all or no reason.

That's a nightmare world, Rudy; to be treated like a criminal when one hasn't committed a crime...

You're getting only a fraction of what you deserve for what you did to those ladies in Georgia.

You deserve much worse than some money troubles for that alone.
