Yeah, you know me...lol...this IS excellent justice being done! Praise be to all that's holy for it!...and, at the same time, I can't help but cringe knowing many will see this as an "unfair" ruling...gently holding my tongue for the moment...lol...

Rudy Giuliani must turn over much of his property — his apartment in New York, the city that made him mayor, and other prized possessions — to two Georgia election workers who have sought for months to collect their massive defamation judgment, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
The order appoints Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the election workers, as receivers of Giuliani’s New York apartment, Mercedes-Benz, luxury watches and some of his cash, among other items.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman ordered Giuliani to hand over his assets within seven days and gave the mother- daughter duo authority to immediately put those items for sale.
They will also be free to pursue Giuliani’s claim that former President Trump owes him legal fees for work following the 2020 election.
Giuliani had consented to much of the order, but he objected to allowing them to sue Trump for the funds until after the election. He is also fighting to retain his Palm Beach, Fla., condo by declaring it his homestead — the judge said Giuliani could remain in control, for now.
Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and a longtime ally of former President Trump, now has until just next week to turn over the assets or face the risk of them being seized. The Hill requested comment from Giuliani’s spokesperson.
“In the absence of a turnover order to a receiver, Plaintiffs would bear the unacceptable risk of delay and Defendant’s insolvency,” Liman wrote in his ruling. “The Court finds no good cause to impose additional limits on the time or manner of the liquidation or prosecution of any other item or interest on the list.”
The Hill requested comment from Giuliani’s spokesperson and lawyers for the election workers.
A jury in 2023 found Giuliani defamed Freeman and Moss by baselessly claiming they engaged in election fraud and ordered him pay them $146 million. Giuliani froze the judgment, and other pending lawsuits against him, by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. But a judge threw him out of bankruptcy for a lack of transparency, allowing the election workers to collect on the judgment.
Despite the eye-popping amount, the mother-daughter duo is expected to receive far less, since Giuliani disclosed only $10.6 million in assets to the bankruptcy court.
Beyond his New York apartment, Giuliani also must turnover his 1980 Mercedez-Benz SL500, television, various furniture, signed photos of famed Yankees Reggie Jackson and Joe DiMaggio, 26 watches and nonexempt cash in his checking accounts.
Giuliani’s attorney had indicated some of the watches were gifted to him by foreign heads of state following the 9/11 attacks.
The judge, however, deferred a decision on whether Giuliani must turnover three Yankees World Series rings. His son, Andrew, has intervened in the legal battle to claim they were gifted to him in 2018, contending the election workers aren’t entitled to them.
A hearing is set for Oct. 28 to discuss those matters, and the judge has also scheduled a Jan. 16, 2025, bench trial for whether Giuliani can hold onto his Palm Beach condo as his homestead.

Putin? as ringleader, or Xi?
In the circus wouldn't Rump be the ever-present clown that works the crowd with funny cars (musk) and food (fries), balloons (genitalia jokes) and sparklers (lies of the day)?

You know, part of me thinks that's all he ever wanted in the first place: his own show and adoring fans.
He's already got the face paint lol.

Ha!
I wonder how many years it will take for people to forget the Orange Clown?
Looking forward to it as a Jeopardy question, difficult, but well read people would know. Seventy years?

Yes.
Like Father Coughlin. I remember how surprised I was Catholic priest could embody so many traits I was taught were un-christian, and un-American, and absolutely not Catholic.
That's the trumplicans to me. Kruschev's children and Putin's dream.

Yep...
Unfortunately nothing of those vast contradictions and duplicities of behavior that are rampant within many Fundamentalist Christians...either public figures or everyday folk...have ever been a surprise to me, having been raised amongst them...
And if yet another small personal rant can be forgiven...it's impossible to translate to anyone what it's like for me to watch and feel the misappropriation and skewing of Spiritual teaching being utilized in the current fire-and-brimstone Evangelistic momentum to elect DJT as their Sacred King... I've lived what it's like for one's psyche to be under that darkly authoritative thumb -- from the womb through teenagehood, before I escaped -- and the idea of that becoming any kind of "rule of law" or the predominating/authoritative Religion of the Land...whoa, I can't even tell you... *shudder*
May the Divine bless them and have mercy on their souls, as they each come to learn that nothing within the current GOPer Fascist Regime has anything whatsoever to do with anything truly Spiritual... ;( Rant over...
