I sure hope they get this to the penny, every one of which I am sure they have documented.

Ghouliani has to learn that actions have consequences. And hitting him in the wallet is the best consequence, after his now non-existent “good name”…

The threats forced them to leave their homes and lose their income., fear for their lives and the lives of family members.

$104,256.50 … lawyers are expensive. This bill is just over $600/hr.
I hope the ladies extract considerable outta Giuliani’s hide.

The whole notion of “America’s Mayor” was a myth.

Hey, no problem – that’s just one plate’s worth at the recent Mar-A-Klepto fundraiser.

Well, after that other guy has taken his cut, maybe two plates. Or four.

How broke can he be considering he arrived in Atlanta on a private jet??

The problem for Giuliani is that he is too old and burned out to be of any use to the purse masters of the Wingnut Welfare Network, so he will get shit.

Giuliani’s and Trump’s willingness to smear these poor poll workers and put their lives into actual danger was shocking to me. It was such an explicitly personal and completely unfounded attack, it felt deeply racist and cruel beyond what I thought “reasonable” human beings were capable of. Then I came to my senses and realized this was simply the logical endpoint to both of these guys’ careers. They have been making their money breaking the backs of poor black people their entire lives.

I try not to be vindictive in thought or action, but these guys deserve the absolute worst the penal system has to offer after all of their wealth has been stripped from them. Knowing that none of that will likely happen is frustrating.

A myth that had very little currency in NYC - even 22 years ago.
A creation of our media stars.

While Giuliani and friends were busy making Ruby Freeman’s and Shaye Moss’ lives hell, Trump was trying to use them to work the Georgia Secretary of State-

Rudy lost by default. He is still trying to protect Trump. I doubt Rudy will pay whatever the judgement is.

If Rudy can shell out $60k for an engagement ring for sucker #4, he can pay these women’s lawyer fees and then some!

The Daily Mail reports:

As Rudy Giuliani rounded off a week that saw him endure the most humiliating moment of his career, his longtime girlfriend Maria Ryan was beaming as she flashed a massive new ring on her wedding finger in New York City. The hospital administrator, who has been romantically linked to the former NYC mayor since 2018, was spotted last Friday heading into an office building on 800 3rd Ave, a business address Giuliani has been seen at many times.

The not-so-subtle diamond – worth an estimated $60,000 if real – was easy to spot on an otherwise dressed-down Ryan. She wore a black FDNY t-shirt, royal blue plants, and sneakers, and carried a Christian Dior Book Tote. Ryan, who stepped down as CEO of a New Hampshire hospital in 2021, was named as Giuliani’s alleged mistress in court documents filed back in 2018 amid his divorce from third wife Judy Nathan.

They should hold off until they find out how much Trump’s fundraising event for Giuliani yielded, then ask for 2X that.

Seems cheap to me considering the magnitude of this case in its role of the big scheme that we now call The Big Lie.
