    Yep. It’ll be the fault of the media and the deep state. Heaven forbid they admit they backed a piece of shit.

    "To keep its 170 employees on the payroll, Daniels applied for PPP or Paycheck Protection Program money, intended to help businesses through the economic downturn during the pandemic. According to federal records, Daniels Manufacturing may have received up to $2.5 million.

    "At the same time, Daniels has been writing big checks to help President Donald Trump. A WESH 2 News review of campaign records reveals donations of at least $614,000 to the Trump campaign, its PACs and other Republicans this election cycle."

    We watched Borat tonight. I didn’t think that it was the slam dunk on Rudy that the hype had me hoping.

    Not a fan of RG.

    If they'd stuck to the facts. it would have had teeth. Giuliani walked into the bedroom with an alleged minor. The optics right there should have been enough. It was obvious he was tucking in his shirt.

    They overreached with the hype and blew it.

    I’m not sure that they establish that Rudy knew that she was underage. She and he appeared to be drinking liquor and she didn’t seem to appear or act like a 15-year-old in those scenes.

    The most effective meme I've seen on it is a simple actress' head shot of her. She's a solid six.

    The caption reads "He thought she wanted him."

    none of this is the major point. The point is Rudy is the easiest mark in the world. He’s a doddering old fool who is easily duped, and this is the guy the president trusts as his personal lawyer and the guy we’re supposed to believe got the dirt on Biden. He can’t be bothered to do any basic vetting on a (young, blonde, Eastern European) reporter interviewing him in a hotel room. But he’s definitely not susceptible to Russian disinformation.

    The premise of the movie is that a 15-year-old was gifted to Rudy. Much of the outraged reaction to screening of the movie were based on that. What actually appeared in the movie didn’t back that up.

    We already knew that Giuliani was reckless, sleazy and vain. Because of the questionable setups to those scenes and hyping underage aspect beyond what it actually was, this episode might help Giuliani more than it hurts him.
