Oh my! Another tantrum

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/rudy-giuliani-critical-condition-hospital-rcna343376


President Donald Trump on Sunday confirmed Giuliani was hospitalized, in a post that took political shots at Democrats.

"Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!" Trump added.

And he sure didn’t get his money’s worth.

Wasn’t it “On the Waterfront” where maybe THE signature line was “I coulda been a contender!” ?

"On The Waterfront" for sure. Rudy had a big descent from the time he was pronounced "America's Mayor" after 9/11.

. . . taking my prayers from Psalm 109

109:1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

Rudy Giuliani reached a deal Thursday with two Georgia women who won a $148 million defamation verdict against him that allows him to keep all of his property in exchange for a payment of unknown size — plus a promise to never again defame them.

Rudy Giuliani settles dispute with Georgia election workers over ownership of his assets

PBS, Jan 16, 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — Rudy Giuliani settled with two former Georgia election workers on Thursday in a deal that will let him keep his homes and personal belongings in return for compensation and a promise to never defame them again, lawyers and the women said.

The trial was supposed to decide the ownership of his Florida condominium and three World Series rings and was supposed to start in the morning with Giuliani's testimony. But that never happened. An agreement was announced by all parties in the afternoon.

The former election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, had been seeking all of Giuliani's property as part of a $148 million defamation judgment against him.

The women won the defamation judgment after saying Giuliani's lies about the 2020 presidential election being stolen led to death threats that made them fear for their lives.

In a statement, the women said: "The past four years have been a living nightmare. We have fought to clear our names, restore our reputations, and prove that we did nothing wrong. Today is a major milestone in our journey. We have reached an agreement and we can now move forward with our lives. We have agreed to allow Mr. Giuliani to retain his property in exchange for compensation and his promise not to ever defame us."

The amount of the compensation was not disclosed.
