I don't like Rudy Giuliani. However, retirement is good enough. I'm not interested in seeing him shot.

The thought of having to survive his term in a federal office makes me want to barf. He was and is a horrible person.

The inaction appointing Merrick Garland to SCOTUS is but one egregious example. Now the authoritarians have the power to interpret the Constitution their way by appointing authoritarians to "interpret" this Constitution.

Add in how complex many legislative issues have become, and one has to question whether the viability of this Constitution has run its course. De facto, governance has become close to unending conflict between lobbying groups — self interested "experts" eager to advise. Huge blocs of nonvoters have just signaled that they do not see any election as seriously affecting their lives. Maybe it's time to rethink how better governance can actually come about in practice.

I am amazed people think Giuliani "did good" on Sept. 11, 2001. Who put the NYPD "command center bunker" on the 21st floor of #7 WTC? Who puts ANY "bunker" over 200 feet above the street and on top of 250K gals. of oil and two dozen transformers full of PCBs?

The answer to all above is Giuliani. Who issued the radio contracts out that would not let NYPD and FDNY contact each other? Giuliani.

Save the praise. Rue de Giuliani should be shot.

He does not deserve any respect as an individual; he should retire and leave in peace with himself for the rest of his life.

" For Giulani, this opinion applies only to the people he considers undesirable. It does not apply to the financial predators and the greediest "people" of all, the corporations.
