LOL! One day on the job and Trump already threw Giuliani under the bus

[lunatica]

He didn’t even bother to tweet it either. It was an impromptu live press statement. Hahahaha!

He said Giuliani didn’t know what he was talking about because he’s new to the job.

If you mute the sound it’s easy to see who the apologist pundits are. They look like This —>

I feel like dancing! 💃🏼🕺 🎉🎊

1. Attorney goes on Fox and fucks it up...preperation is the key to advocacy...Rudy did none.

Like I always say, Republicans hire the worst attorneys and their ignorance and contempt for the rule of law will be their undoing...if not we might all be really fucked.

[Scurrilous]

2. It's become like a dog chasing its tail.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Trump must keep an entire fleet of buses just for the purpose

of throwing people under them. Rudy's trip to the undercarriage happened even sooner than I expected. Of course, what really happened was those old reprobates got together and concocted a story they thought would encourage Cohen to keep his lips zipped (although it's probably too late), but then when everybody freaked out about how Rudy had just torpedoed Spanky's case (maybe they should have thought of that beforehand), of course Rudy got shoved to the pavement. It will be interesting to see where they go from here.

[lunatica]

5. Rudy's head will sink down further between his shoulders

as he grins sheepishly and continues to osculate Trump’s Gluteus Maximus.

[chelsea0011]

4. So, Rudy either just was making shit up or he knows the story and was

being as truthful as humanly possible for this clown. I think he knows how the payoff went out.

[lunatica]

6. I think they agreed on what Rudy was to say

but then Trump got panicked and fell back on what he does best. Toss people under the bus.

[RockRaven]

7. If the WH press corps wants to claw back some of the credibility they've pissed away the past 2 yrs

they should hammer SHS with two questions, no matter how much she tries to evade them:

1) What *specific* statements that Giuliani made is Trump claiming are not factual?

2) Trump said he started yesterday, Giuliani's timeline was different, when exactly -- what date -- did Giuliani start working for Trump?

[lunatica]

8. Very good points!

But she’ll probably just say she hasn’t discussed it with Trump yet...

[klook]

26. Or "You'll have to discuss that with the president's attorney."

... oh , wait, that's Giuliani!

[lunatica]

28. It's your typical circular firing squad

Or a circle jerk. You get my point...

[genxlib]

9. Put them all under oath

And put an end to this nonsense.

[lunatica]

10. I can hardly wait for that day!

[Wwcd]

11. Abbe Lowell is Jared & Ivanka's attorney. A big "wtf Rudy"!

"And Abbe Lowell is not some joker. He’s a serious pro. So he’ll defend his actual clients, not the conspiracy as a whole."

Maybe Lowell weighed in on Jared's behalf.
"STFU RUDY!!"


Rudy.

[underpants]

12. "He started yesterday...

Trump walks back Giuliani: 'He'll get his facts straight'



President Donald Trump said Friday his new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is "a great guy" and "he'll get his facts straight."

Giuliani also said three US prisoners would be freed from North Korea on Thursday, but as of Friday morning no administration officials were confirming that.


"He's learning the subject matter. He's going to be issuing a statement, too," Trump said of the former New York City mayor, on the White House South Lawn. "He started yesterday. He'll get his facts straight."

13. Giuliani signed on to be Trump's ablative armor/diaper.

He gets to lie on TV, and maybe that's enough for him. Not sure he really needed the money.

[lunatica]

14. I looked up ablative

but I’m confused by your use of it in context. I’m not sure I understand what it means even after reading quite a few definitions. I think it means taking away from something, or doing the opposite of bringing together.

Can you please edify me?

[Dave Starsky]

15. An ablative is something that takes damage...

And is even destroyed by it in order to protect you from it.

An example is the ablation shield on a spacecraft. It is designed to burn up on reentry in order to absorb all of the friction heat with the atmosphere and protect the astronauts inside from a fiery death.

In this case, Giuliani would be acting as an ablation shield for Trump. Giuliani can take the heat for his own true statements, while Trump can pretend he doesn't know what he's talking about, and the press will leave Trump alone.

[lunatica]

16. Thanks!

I had read the definition of the space craft shield but I didn’t make the connection. I looked at lot of links too.

You’re explanation is great. Easy to understand. The word is now added to my lexicon. I love it when that happens!

[barbtries]

17. he's been on the job longer than a day

someone lied about it so he could credibly deny knowing what he was saying.

[lunatica]

18. But why did Rudy say it?

Would that be prearranged? Supposedly they’ve been planning for a while. I don’t get the plan.

[barbtries]

19. sow chaos and discord?

they're both narcissistic maniacs used to getting away with every damn thing?

i don't doubt that giuliani had already discussed what he would say with trump, i really don't. then it was damage control because it could not be denied any longer that trump is lying his ass off about this whole clusterfuck. best guess by me says they underestimated the uproar over that.

so just as Papadoulous was just a waterboy, giuliani just started yesterday. trump thinks he can change the past by changing his story. what's really frightening is the large number of people who agree with him.

[lunatica]

20. I really don't know why I still expect rationality with them

I try to get it, but I need to stop thinking logic has any bearing with them.

[barbtries]

23. you know, i don't know why you chose your screen name

but it occurs to me that it is descriptive of the entire trump cabal

[lunatica]

24. It just means crazy

But it’s more poetic than using loca.

I’m kidding. Originally in Latin the word Luna was the name of the goddess of the Moon and it has always been believed to be representative of feminine energy or Yin energy. In old English
and French it meant Moon struck as in change in behavior that people thought coincided with the phases of the Moon. Then it evolved into the description of one with lucid intervals and it was Teddy Roosevelt who coined the phrase lunatic fringe.

The Moon is also considered mysterious and mercurial because of it phases and how much power it has over the tides and animal and plant behavior. It also has a mysteriousness that no amount of science seems to dissipate. The lore of the supernatural world connected to the night and the Moon is still strong because it’s kept alive by popular horror movies even though we rarely think about it because of our ability to ignore it since we can turn the lights on with a flip of a switch. We hardly even think about it anymore and we’ve forgotten how immensely important it’s been for humans throughout history.

In the world of symbolism the Moon is special because of its multilayered meaning. Add that to a somewhat twisted sense of humor and I came up with lunatica.

Granted, the Trump base have caused the strong resurgence of the phrase “lunatic fringe”, but hopefully they’ll be gone soon and they can return to the underside of the rock they came from

[barbtries]

25. thank you

that was fascinating. i came up with my screen name after about 20 different tries to make a name including "barb" got frustrated and added "tries" and voila i had a screen name. lol

[lunatica]

27. It reminds me of the quote

from Mitch McConnell saying, “Neverless she persisted”. Your DU name is a very good one!

[barbtries]

30. lol thanks

wherever you see barbtries that's probably me. so it has been good because no one else ever came up with it.

[Whiskeytide]

21. You have to feel a little sympathy for Giuliani. Just ...

... imagine how difficult it must be trying to sort through the truth and keep straight the myriad of lies and cover-ups Trump has been engaged in for two years.

"Ok, boss. THIS is what really happened. Now, what lies have you told about it that I need to keep straight when I go on Fox?"

Sycophant.

[Kirk Lover]

22. I have rehearsed a lie to call out to work more than these buffoons who are trying to deceive

the whole damn country.
