In October 2016, DONALD TRUMP and RUDOLF GIULIANI appeared together onstage at our St. Augustine Amphitheater management had the wisdom to obtain full prepayment by wife transfer before these two quackenwodgers stepped on stage.  Thank you, Amp management, for honoring my request. For the record, I once admired GIULIANI when he was a DOJ prosecutor, and took on organized corporate criminality.  But his ongoing insurrectionist authoritarian toadying to TRUMP is a disgrace.

Rudy Giuliani can remain in Florida condo, despite judge’s concern with his spending habits


NEW YORK (AP) — Rudy Giuliani will be allowed to remain in his Florida condo for now after a New York bankruptcy judge on Thursday declined to rule on a motion filed by his creditors that would’ve forced him to sell the Palm Beach estate. 

At a hearing, Judge Sean Lane acknowledged the “significant” concern that Giuliani was sinking money into the condo that is owed to his numerous creditors, but said he would hold off on compelling a sale of the roughly $3.5 million property. 

Giuliani declared bankruptcy in December after he was ordered to pay $148 million to two former Georgia election workers for spreading lies about their role in the 2020 election.

He has agreed to list his Manhattan apartment for roughly $5 million, but argues he should continue living in the Florida condo, citing the need to record his podcast there and the “prohibitive” cost of finding a new home in New York. 

“If the court compels the sale of the Florida condominium, then the debtor will be forced to incur expenses for alternative housing,” his lawyers wrote in a March 28 motion. “Surely the committee does not intend the debtor to join the ranks of the homeless?”

All the Trump fascists and crooks seem to flee to Florida once they commit crimes elsewhere as if this were some "sanctuary state" for grifters and fascists. Like these Republicans down here will protect them from the consequences of their actions when they make claims of political persecution. Not to mention they try to buy their way out of accountability. Trump should flee to Russia now. That's really the bottom line for him.
