Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The filing also listed President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, as a creditor, without specifying the amount Giuliani owed him.

Aha! It's the smoking gun that they've been looking for all along! Direct evidence that Hunter Biden is accepting payments from a foreign agent!

The picture provided in that article is gold:
Giuliani

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, probably the best thing in article.

Someone better post that sweet Riker gif...

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ok, I did the thing. Now what? Also great username! It is only legend.

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

this is very very funny but also don't these sort of business ghouls just see this as paperwork and not a horrible shame thing like we would? like a sacrifice bunt or something

I guess I don't fully understand how someone can file for bankruptcy but still be rich after. If all it does is ruin your credit for 10 years or whatever the cutoff is, then why should the rich care if they file? They already have money and enough of it that investors don't really care about their credit. Shouldn't the government be garnishing wages or something at least?

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don't know how Alex Jones is just going along telling the government to get wrecked.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Many do, but probably not this time. Trump stopped taking his phone calls a while back, and he was scratching around for loose change, like doing Cameo. He probably doesn't have $147M in assets.

Real men should honor their debts. What a fucking coward.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree with your general view of Giuliani, but disparaging bankruptcy isn't the way to go.

More debts should be dismissable via bankruptcy, imo

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Bankruptcy is for people with no other option. Not for clowns to use to get out of paying warranted fines for having been a piece of shit grifting traitor.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Real men should honor their debts

This has nothing to do with your response, though.

Bankruptcy for student loan debt would change millions of lives, as an example.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

And as I said, bankruptcy to get out of paying a debt they can afford is for pieces of shit.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Amazed he had enough money to file TBH.
