I like that he will spend the last years of his life behind bar, pondering where it all went wrong -- not that I think he'll learn anything. I just like the idea of him torturing himself.
Or maybe he'll spend those years not learning anything. That, too, pleases me, that he will die ignorant. He should die in jail just for trying to subvert our democracy.

Apparently Trump is holding fundraisers for poor old Rudy. Will probably keep the funds for himself.

Really? How cynical of you. I'd like to watch that money trail! I suspect that chump worshippers will throw money wherever they can to support him, even beyond death.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Saudi authorities appear to be on a "relentless killing spree," having executed at least 100 people this year, a rights group reports. The executions are widely seen as part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's efforts to eradicate dissenting voices.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

When you lay down with dogs, you're bound to get fleas -- unless they're your own dogs, of course, those are show. But you know what I mean. Rudy deserves a little flea-bitin'.
Trump, of course, will monetize anything at all, including his own mug-shot, so no surprise there. That he'd gift Rudy a pipe up the ass is not really out of the ordinary.

Funny thing about the mugshot - it seems that, in the US, the owner of a booking photo is the agency that took it, not the arrestee. Trump appears to have violated copyright laws by hawking the image.
I was so shocked to learn this, I had to lay down and yell for someone to bring me a sandwich.

As well it should. As soon as the world switches over to farming energy rather than mining energy they're back to nothing but sand.
