Rudy Giuliani says earthquakes targeting "communist" US states
Giuliani linked Friday's earthquake that hit New York to other tremors in "communist states" before saying his critics "don't have a sense of humor."
"The communist states are getting earthquakes. Look at California. You can't have more earthquakes than California. You want to figure out why?"
Californian here, the answer is "plate tectonics", and "fault lines".
Source: I graduated the third grade.
That's what the hammer and sickle represent, clearly.
Til that third grade is communist! 😱
"See - Comrade Lthargy here is even admitting fault."
Communist means whatever they want it to mean.
Did they wear out 'woke'?
It means any place where total oligarchy is resisted in any way whatsoever.
It sounds like a stupid comment to rally the hogs, but in reality these types of things are a mask-off moment.
“We hate it when people attempt to better their lives because it threatens our wealth”
EDIT: I mean yes, it’s all those other things too. America’s Mayor would, be definition, have to be a dumbass bootlicking yes man who swindles for votes AND also be a fascist culture-warring capital defender.
Just like WoKE, CriTiCaL RACE ThEoRy, and AnTiFA
You gotta be mentally defective to be a republican.
Depends on which tier of republican you're referring to. People like Trump and Giuliani are defective in the sense that they'll happily lie through their teeth for personal gain without that pesky conscience getting in the way.
The voting base is defective in that they have no critical thinking skills to see through these obvious lies.
Were the Publicans any better?
Yeah generally. They at least served beer and offered a place to sleep.
Look at California. You can't have more earthquakes than California. You want to figure out why?"
I think they're called fault lines. This is on the level of "tides go in, tides go out, you can't explain that!" Followed by an "are you fucking kidding?" face
There was a Republican politician that said something along the lines that God was punishing states because they allowed gays. And then his state got hammered in the ass by another storm.
He didn't walk back his statement.
These people just want to blame everything bad on their enemies.
Nah it's god, and when it's lightning god angy. And rain is god sad. And alligators our ornery because they got all them teeth but no toothbrush.
Dont forget the Angels bowling leauge night.
If my toothbrush was made of meat but I couldn't eat it, I'd be angry too.
Mama's wrong again!
It's a cult thing. You believe ridiculous shit that wouldn't fool a child as a way of proving your faith. The more ridiculous, the more faithful you are.
Ah yes, NYC and Wallstreet. The bastion of communism.
Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world's largest market, isn't Communist.
wall streets only there to draw away suspicion. nobody would suspect wall street to be right in the middle of a communist city

Words just mean whatever these folks want them to mean.
Classic Jon Stewart
If these dudes are going full clown mode, then the media should stop reporting on them. There's no value in anything they say. These aren't alternative viewpoints, this is just babbling in an attempt to be relevant.
Is there some kind of brain fungus going around in the US? This guy, Trump and Musk and many others seem to have it.
I feel like we have a lot less reporting of the Trump drama of the day than in the past. It's still a lot and still way too much, but less?
Definitely less. I hardly ever see anything about him now. I do have filters in place to block anything about him, but stories still slipped through all the time in the past. Nowadays it's rare for something about him to slip through. My wife has no filters in place and she also commented that she's glad she doesn't see shit about him every day any more.
Your definition of value does not match theirs.
“If” fkn lol
And which landscaping company's storage yard did he announce this from?
That is still one of the most surreal moments to come out of that whole mess.
I just don't understand how it was allowed to play out. At some point, someone had to decide that going ahead with it was more important than waiting a day and finding a suitable location.
For the life of me I can't remember what the press conference was about, only the screw up.
Extreme ego and narcissism allowed that to happen. It was a simple mistake in booking that they refused to own up to because that would be admitting mistake which is something fascist leaders are completely unable to cope with
Pretty sure Jesus would be a commie if he was alive
If only there were Communist US states.
Just…. walk into the light, please Rudy?
Well by this logic, hurricanes and tornadoes must be targeting republican states. What's the message being sent there? 🤔 At least you can somewhat design and build architecture against earthquakes...
I’ve noticed that people from tornado states are most afraid of earthquakes. Makes me think they believe that an earthquake is scarier than a tornado. The amount of fear I see suggests that tornado’s must be terrifying to live through.
I agree, but I guess it has to do with their relative unpredictability (as far as I understand). Hurricanes you can prepare for days in advance. And at least tornado's you can 'see them coming' to the point where if you're unlucky you might lose your house, but not your life. Not sure how the numbers back that up (or if they can even be compared), but emotionally that feels like the answer.
Republicans are supremely confident in the stupidity of their audience. Giuliani is a terrible no-good person, but I seriously doubt he's this dumb himself.
Guy fucked his own life for a chance to lick trump’s asshole.
Did this guy ever pay the $140+ million dollar defamation lawsuit?
Do you even need to ask? I mean to know, not to remind us it exists?
I love how this dried up old dipshit had it made in the shade after 911 but these maga dumbasses can't let their little glue sniffing brains feel like the spotlight isn't on them anymore. The world will be a better place once this idiot is behind bars or dead...or both.
God sending earthquakes to encourage states to be communists... See? It makes the same sense, none at all.
New York, with Manhattan being a city that's basically the epicenter of American capitalism, where the world's most important stock exchange is, and that he himself was the mayor of.
Giuliani? The Russian asset? Communism?
Weird timeline.
For a while I thought I was in the onion community and couldn't understand why many comments didn't catch that. And then I scrolled up and saw nottheonion.
God used to turn cities to rubble by raining fire. Now he makes the ground shake enough for books to fall off the shelf.
But only banned books
I grew up in the tri-state when this guy was mayor and I just remember him being called Gestapo Guiliani. NY appeared cleaner, especially on 42nd and Times Square, but he always seemed to be a shit person despite the handjobs he’s received from the public.
I was wrong, he is worse.
We were in the communist state of New York and then we were in Connecticut and we just escaped all the earthquakes then we got to Massachusetts which probably had some earthquakes and we got to New Hampshire
No no no, keep going, keep going!
Dear Rudy,
Go east about 500 miles. I guarantee you will find no communists there. And it'll be a great place to set up your new life.
Christ, I thought you’d made that up but that’s the actual transcript. Dude makes Ralph from the Simpsons sound like Oscar Wilde.
Why the fuck is this guy on the streets and not in jail
In a normal county these people would get laughed out of the room. In america they get a powerful Position, or even become president
Reich-wingers are getting more unhinged everywhere, unfortunately
Horse shit. There's crazy politicians in every country.
No, no, no... OP wrote county, not country. Not sure where the "america" county is, but must be a hell hole.
I used to think all that talk was just weird, but now I wonder how many of them are actually serious.
Yeah but how bout all our Marxist hurricanes that keep hitting the Gulf Coast? Our storms do way more damage than your bourgeois quakes.
Ah the communist state of... New York? 🤣
The recent earthquake was actually in New Jersey, but no one cares about New Jersey, so....
Looks like all that lead paint and lead gasoline is finally settling in the boomer brains the last couple of years
The next 10 years will be interesting as the boomers really start displaying dementia and other age related mental decline.
And scary since some are taking or keeping office.
I mean in 2024, still seriously? Maybe 1000 BC in ancient Greece it makes sense but how can this still be an argument in 2024?
Because people are fucking stupid.
B/c he knows that he does not mean it, and his base knows that he does not mean it, but it still manages to communicate something regardless - "they bad".
Humanity today is genetically identical to those in ancient Greece, and many of us have spent less time schooling ourselves about how to e.g. avoid frauds than many of them did back then. ergo, "argument by authority" still works for us, as perhaps it did for them back then as well.
Your presupposition seems to be that humanity should somehow get better over time? At least it seems to relate to a common humanist theme, but if we want to get better, it is going to require effort on our part to make that happen. (apparently, having access to the entire repository of human knowledge at our fingertips is not sufficient, for those who cannot be bothered to learn from it - either by reading or just sitting passively as videos with pwetty graphics do all the work of spelling it all out for us, yet still that is less fun & engaging to people who would rather watch shiny motor vehicles with ads on them drive round & round in circles)
Republicans are dumber than dogshit.
these morons want to run the country again
Our best and brightest here. Tip of the spear.
If there still needs permission or something to ignore whatever comes out of Giuliani's mouth, here, we grant it. Newsweek et al., you have our permission to no longer burden us with his ravings.
Republicans think liberal and communist are the same thing. They also think communist and fascist are the same thing. But of course Giuliani is a highly educated professional who knows better. He’s just cynical, and rotten to the core.
What a walking corpse he is. Amazing.
Has he always be so derranged or this is just old man's mental decline?
I'm really starting to worry about the effects lead paint had on that generation...
for god so loved the world amirite
Ah yes, New York and California… home of the biggest capitalist economies in the world are communist. New York home of Wall Street and California, the home of Silicon Valley and Hollywood are somehow communist.
FOAD
Conman finds that yes, you CAN get away with it because yes, some people ARE that untouched by education and common sense.
Didnt disbar him soon enough imho
Fucking brilliant take. Wow.
