'They won't call me back': Rudy Giuliani being frozen out after 'dramatic U-turn' on Trump
Source: Raw Story
April 12, 2025 4:33PM ET
Donald Trump confidante Rudy Giuliani says he can't get a call back from the White House after he started criticizing the President's top Cabinet officials. Giuliani "made a dramatic U-turn over President Donald Trump's 'crooked' choices after years of working as his fixer," according to the Daily Mail. It cites Giuliani's recent interview with conservative pundit Eric Bolling.
"The 80-year-old, who is currently facing mounting legal woes, told Bolling that although he's pleased with changes at the Justice Department, he still has problems with 'crooked' choices made by FBI director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi," the outlet reported Saturday.
According to the report, "He specifically said he doesn't agree with the way Patel and Bondi have been 'going after Catholics in the Justice Department' and the January 6 participants." The interview was also flagged by The Daily Beast, which published an article entitled, "Rudy Giuliani Whines About FBI Trump BFF Kash Patel is Running."
"No one at the Department of Justice (DOJ) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will return Rudy Giulianis calls, and hes really not happy about it," the outlet reported.

(20,249 posts)Tesla was already under intense pressure from the big names in the auto industry. Now the brand is destroyed and much of it's prior success was dependent on tax policy that's been shit canned. While it's stock price, Elmo's only real asset, is down, it's still doing a Wil E. Coyote imitation and will crash even further when the full impact of brand destruction becomes public.
Starlink has lost tons of money. Damn expensive developing and then maintaining a bunch orbital infrastructure. But that market is also fierce, and the brand irreparably damaged. The rest of his toys rely on US government spend that's drying up. The fascist regime really isn't going to blow a bunch of cash on his little rockets and dreams of Mars. Unless it serves them directly, they couldn't care less.
And his Twitter takeover creditors are going to want their money, while available resources to service the debt is shrinking fast. X is a shell of what Twitter was and makes no money. Interestingly, Morgan Stanley and others are selling their exposure to the Twitter takeover debt. Getting out while the getting is good perhaps, like abandoning mortgage backed securities before the 2008 collapse.

(22,840 posts)Former GOP strategist and former Giuliani employee Rick Wilson (Lincoln Project/Lincoln Square) tried in vain to advise him not to cast his lot with Trump in early 2016. . .
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/15/nyregion/rudy-giuliani-trump-indictment.html
Even if he wins, hes going to destroy you, Mr. Wilson remembered telling Rudolph W. Giuliani. This guys going to humiliate you.
Mr. Wilson recalled being dismissed as a provincial Floridian unable to understand the bond between two New Yorkers outer-borough strivers who walked the Manhattan streets with proprietary airs and were now within grasp of once-unimaginable power.
Hes going to take care of me, Mr. Wilson said Mr. Giuliani would tell those around him. A cabinet post, probably. Maybe secretary of state.
Never happened.

(20,249 posts)But an interesting development. So "Jeebs" Patel and Bondi are going after Catholics? Not surprising. Evilgelicals are means to an end kind of people and will ally with Catholics, Mormons, Jews or whoever when it serves their purposes. But don't be fooled. There's no love there. Evilgelicals don't do "multiple ways to God" and will shit on all of them when it suits them.
To them, Catholics are heretics, Mormons are infidels and Jews "killed Jesus!" For Catholics, its been that way since Luther. For Jews, it's been that way since forever. And they'll gleefully watch them all go to Hell for simply not adhering to their particular brand of magical thinking. After I left the faith ages ago, I thought it funny in an ironic sort of way that Evilgelicals sneered at Mormons for following a weird, improbable set of beliefs, different from their weird, improbable set of beliefs.

(20,249 posts)Maybe just a fluke that all 3 of Trump's appointees are Catholic. But then again, these were people put forward by Heritage Foundation and others like them, so maybe it's intentional. That's where means to an end comes in. Right leaning Catholics tend to be pretty reliable when it comes to Heritage's views women's reproductive healthcare. On the Protestant side, only serious fundies and Christian nationalists are as reliable. The rest are a mixed bag. It might have been too heavy a lift getting those crazies through the Senate. And Catholics can always fall back on "that's the official teaching of the church but not necessarily my view." A bit more complicated for Protestants. That may be a stretch, but I think it was all about the legality of abortion and birth control. Trump didn't have a clue who the hell those people were. He just nominated whoever was suggested.

And he is not through yet..............
Even if there was a freeze today of every bit of damage he is doing, or has done, it would take a decade, just to un-do what he and all his creepoids have done so far. Every day that goes by, you can add another year of work, to just getting it back to where it was.....
Some things will never be un-done.......including our National Security sold during his first admin, and all since he got back into office.
Along with NONE of our other allied countries Intel or basic Trust, the list is un-fathomable and endless. They would still be unraveling his corruption/grifiting decades from now.
Since he is technically Commander and Chief of the U.S. Military, selling intel to our enemies, or others should be a cold hard case of Treason. Last I heard, the crime of Treason in the Military is punishable by DEATH........The entire rest of his spawn, Jared, and all his CABAL should spend the rest of their lives rotting in solitary confinement, in Colorado Super Max......
People must remember the main thing.................no way he could have ever been able to commit his daily corruption and crimes for the first four years, and the few last months, IF IT HADN'T OF BEEN FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, REPUBLICAN DONORS & UBER WEALTHY, CORPORATIONS, AND ESPECIALLY THE REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE DURING 45, AND NOW IN THE 47.........

(1,469 posts)Important video above. The proof will never go away.
But the other side is so vigorous in dishing disinformation, I'm not gonna just correct people when they say Rudy is a bad man. He IS a bad man.
It is also true that while several New York City police officers were proven in fact to shove a broom handle up the rectum of a suspect, it is absolutely NOT true that they said "Guiliani time" while violating the man's civil rights and personal orifices.
So Rudy takes no responsibility for the anal rape Abner Louima suffered at the hands of New York City's finest. Or three three surgeries to repair his colon after the assault.
Rudy, no responsibility whatsover. Fox's America's Mayor! Woo hoo!

(150,614 posts)way before Rev. Al Sharpton showed up on MSNBC, he had (and still has) a syndicated show - "Keeping it Real" - and made appearances on various other black talk host shows like Bob Law's late night show, that highlighted the horrors in NYC back then.

In 1997, then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was running for re-election on his campaign of "law & order". But Blacks & Latinos were chafing at the rising number of stop & frisks in certain neighborhoods. 2 protests were held the same month of the Louima attack which thousands attended.

The #AbnerLouima case became known as the police torture case.
I helped to lead the fight for Abner fighting for a conviction, organizing rallies, marches & pressers. The Louima case was 1 of the few times a victim of police brutality lived & got a jury to convict police. #BHM

Even before that, Sharpton was involved in the Howard Beach, Yusef Hawkins, and other atrocities. Back in the '80s you also had now-RW loon Curtis Sliwa, who headed up the Guardian Angels.
