This is the devil’s advocate equivalent of a solution in search of a problem
It’s creepy cause it’s Giuliani with his hands down his pants
It’s fucked up and politics/national security adjacent because 1)he was duped via promise of colluding with a foreign government and 2)Sachs Baron Cohen is probably the best comedian at this shit and probably magnitudes far less effective at it than the actual foreign ops targeting Rudy and Trump’s circle
I dropped off my absentee ballot at a town hall collection box so there'll be minimal fuckery. Glad I did so, since I had way more people on the down-ballot I had to look up.
We'll see how wild the Georgia elections get soon.
I feel like this whole thing is just... dumb? Like, it seems super obvious Rudy got duped by some adult woman pretending to be into him and the only pedophilia angle is "Borat says she's 15 when he bursts in near naked and offers his ass to Rudy". Rudy being a dumb mark is kinda notable but not really worth the airtime.
Then again, I guess it means nothing good for Trump makes the news either, so idk.
Yeah the big thing for me about the clip is less "haha look at guiliani" and more "Look at how easy it was to compromise this person"
Like it wouldn’t matter so much if this guy hadn’t spent the last year actively seeking out Russian agents looking for dirt on Biden and his son on behalf of trump. That someone so utterly compromised and vulnerable to fraud, manipulation and blackmail attempts has the trust of the president is a scandal beyond any pants touching screen grabs
Just being a mark at all and agreeing to the interview is such a colossal embarrassment and dereliction, particularly since he essentially represents the United States government for all intents and purposes

Actually though, as someone who regularly tucks in his shirt by just unbuckling and rebuckling his pants, I guess in some ways Giuliani is still doing better in terms of things that would look incredibly incriminating if filmed and edited for that purpose
like, if you are in public and you absolutely, positively have to tuck your shirt into your pants, you can do so pretty quickly and fairly privately by just fucking, turning around, unbutton the pants, shoop shoop get it in there and re-button/zip and belt as needed. You don't need to fucking make a huge display of it or even put your hands down your pants, gravity does the work and you're done it takes ten seconds maybe

I mean like... he wasn't in public. He was in a hotel room with a woman intentionally and clearly hitting on him. If it was just some conservative media reporter it'd just be "old racist weirdo has sex with younger racist weirdo." The issue is mostly that he's an idiot mark.
it's actually offensive how these people assume everyone else is as dumb and incompetent as they are.
Why even bind it into a book? That's...so stupid. It would be spiral-bound or just a bunch of loose sheets of paper alligator-clipped together if it was real. That they took some old hardback and loaded it with blank pages if the most baffling theatrics I've ever seen.
that's the shot, the chaser is that the pictures are not candid - those are just reposts of the pictures donald trump uploaded to his twitter to advertise that they did this
That is a weirdly nicely bound book to be so big and blank!
And what would you even print in a book about "Trump's health care accomplishments"?
Don't ask how I got it, but here's a sneak peek at the first page.

Coming soon to the best seller list: Trump's Big Book of Accomplishments.
There was one of these for John Major back in the day.

I'm going to give Rudy the slightest benefit of the doubt on the age of consent thing, being invited back to somebody's hotel room for drinks kind of implies they're over 21.
Immediately going to play pocket pool without somebody's consent is some Louie CK shit though. Apparently his third wife divorced him last year and not knowing when this was filmed I have no idea how far on the Republican family values hypocrisy index this rates but I know how fucking gross it is.
The thing he has no way out of even if this was highly edited and he was somehow rubbing his dick for non-sexual reasons is that he got fooled by Borat.

Oh totally, but his defenders will make the argument that the whole "she's 15" thing was sprung on him after he was already touching himself in front of her unprompted.
Why the fuck he doesn't seem to be dissuaded by her being 15 and instead seems more horrified at the thought of taking Borat's a-noose after her age is revealed will not be addressed.
God damn that's a stupid thing to type. This whole Trump administration is getting exponentially stupider every day.

The accomplishments of John Major are not why Trump walked out of the interview, according to the Washington Post.
According to a person with knowledge of what happened during the interview, Trump was unhappy that Stahl asked him tough questions regarding his rhetoric about Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the size of the crowds at his rallies and his disputes with Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious-disease expert. Stahl also told him during the interview that allegations about Biden’s son Hunter were not verified and that the Obama administration did not spy on the Trump campaign. Many of the questions were about the coronavirus pandemic and his handling of it, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the interview frankly.
...
The person familiar with the interview said that there are no bombshell revelations, but that Trump complained about it all day and wants to take the air out of it by releasing it early. Three aides, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said the president overreacted, and one suggested that he might actually boost the ratings of a tough interview.
A senior White House official said Trump had told aides he wanted to go after Stahl and brainstormed ideas after the session with a group of aides in the Oval Office.
“The interview was not that bad,” a White House staff member said. “It wasn’t a bad interview. She just had a tone he didn’t like.”
While I think Trump has definitely never tolerated tough questioning very well, it feels like it's gotten more acute lately. His ability to endure any sort of adversary is approaching zero.

None of it is funny.
Why are there spiders on my screen
Even by GOP standards, it's a real hum-dinger

yeah that's the most alien way of tucking a shirt in that I have ever seen
Yeah that does not seem like a good way to tuck in your shirt
Although Rudy Giuliani being bad at tucking in his shirt would still make a lot of sense so it's reasonable enough
lol

It’s all just a big game to them, they have no stakes, nothing on the line. It’s all a show and fun make pretend dress ups

Nullus est deus.
This is a far too on the nose metaphor for how 45's administration has handled literally every issue to date. I'm sick of reality's hack writers.
Oh is that what they've been doing with all of those signed photo-op documents?
Ironically the first honest thing McEnany has done for the administration.

Like the old movie trick of putting one layer of bills over paper in the briefcase , except without even bothering to put that layer of real bills.
Yet still confidently opening it anyway
