intended divorce from Donna Hanover at a news conference, which was how she learned about it? He was scum then, and has only gotten worse.

The only thing good that came from Giuliani’s tenure was the redevelopment of a Times Square. It needed to happen and it probably would have happened no matter who was mayor.

But even there, Giuliani was a thuggish ass. He weaponized the NYPD against the city’s weakest people without mercy or kindness. Some devout Catholic!

For me, it’s been a real joy watching this villainous vampire self-implode on an epic scale!

been so obvious to some of us from the beginning: the autocratic style, his treatment of women (especially his wife), his disregard for anyone who wasn't European, his police "stop and frisk" policy to inflate solved crime numbers.

"America's mayor" was great unless you had brown or black skin and lived in his city....or if you were female and under 50.

If only he'd known when to quit, which was the mid 00s when he was collecting medals and people remembered the grandiosity that inspired them after 9/11 and before they started to look closely at the details. He'd have had statues all over the city, streets and post offices named for him.

Now he's going to be remembered as an old goat way past his prime with Viagra fueled priapism and who thought every women in the world owed him something. He's going to remembered for his lying, his disbarment, and his plunge from grace. All these things were obvious to some of us from the beginning. Now they're obvious to most people.

Let us not forget the rest of the disgusting cabal that is a part of tRump and his followers.

I always saw him as a scumbag, since, I can't remember when but it was a long time ago. I never saw him as anything else.

This most recent set of charges only confirm what I had imagined about him. What I don't get is why she continued to work for him after the first sexual event.



And it makes me wonder how gets anyone to work for him. No amount of money is worth any of that.
