Good God. Not much 'La Paz' here, is there? And you are welcome. CurtEastPoint Nov 2020 #7
Providing context, as you did, is the peaceful way. I'm clued in, not glued in to TV. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2020 #10

They haven't, so it seems to be a vanity thread of some kind.

What is situated between? A folding table and brochures? A MAGAt poster display? A state Republicon office? An RNC storefront? Picture? Link? Is it an election office repurposed or something new?

What does this vague "last stand" consist of? A display of pumpkins?

On edit: thanks for your link.

2. Seriously, that landscaping store is next to an adult book store and across from a crematory.

19. Rudy spent the rest of the morning visiting the adult book store and making arrangements...

...at the crematorium.


It's also all over Twitter.

There are just too many threads to read all of DU threads and posts. I was well aware of Giuliani's impending press conference (even posted a reply in a thread to alert a poster about it coming up) and that there was some mixup about a landscaping company, but nothing I read or saw mentioned the businesses the OP highlighted.

Plus I don't have a TV. Does that make me bad?

I don't follow tweets, I follow DU links to tweets. Is that incorrect behaviour? I saw the Hoarse Whisperer thread early in the thread but the context there was tRump's Non-Existent Health Care Plan. I had no idea that later you had buried posts about the press conference in that thread.

I'm clued in, but not glued in to TV, twitter, or even DU. I read DU a lot, but nobody can be expected to read it comprehensively.

There are too many threads, partly because of context-free OPs and click bait titles and obscure "This" threads. A little pushback is healthy.

It's seems so simple to offer a little context in an OP. The attention grabbing thread title is fine and good practice. But what was so difficult about mentioning "Giuliani press conference" in the OP? A little thought and care for DU readers goes a long way.

I guess I wrongly and stupidly assumed everyone was aware of it by now.

Sorry again.

But the post failed to deliver. Without context I had no idea what the joke was about.

It did not offend me. More precisely, I thought it was incomplete and/or misplaced. Hardly offensive.

I was disappointed.

But it is okay. It has been remedied.

It was so Jacob Wohlish.

Somebody should do a welfare check on Donny Deutsch. As the #1 purveyor of Giuliani's downfall, I'm worried he might have laughed himself to death watching that.

Only the most brilliant writer/novelist could script this. Just unbelievable.

I mean how brilliant is that? Somebody makes a mistake and winds up Booking a four seasons landscaping company rather than the four seasons hotel and it is positioned between an adult bookstore and a crematorium. It is so apt that It beggars belief.
