Someone give that courtroom artist a raise. That's his Magnum Opus.

They even captured the hair dye stain dribbling around his ear

He could have retired as a despicable human being who at least was seen as reasonably OK by those who didn't know any better (that includes me), with his most memorable TV moment being from 9/11 causing people to be on his side.

But no, he chose to hitch his wagon to a walking red flag. He chose to defame people. He chose to bet everything on a big payout from a known conman. He chose to double down in all the bullshit. His most memorable TV moments now are of him farting with a live mic, and his scalp melting In a courtroom. All because he thought he could be the next Roy Cohn - Someone just as despicable, but at least Cohn was competent.

Rudy will forever be remembered for his bad choices and legal incompetence.

Eat shit, rudy. But wait until someone passes the popcorn.

This was one event that never needs to be reenacted for film, because the original is perfect.

I guess he's in the "find out" phase.

Has he considered taking a minimum wage job and cutting down on all the avocado toast?

I, on the other hand, CAN pay for the popcorn I'm eating while watching this.

Guess Rudy gets to find out what food stamps and barely making rent have been like for so many folks. Maybe he'll be dragged kicking and screaming (literally as per that drawing) into empathy before he dies.

He's got too many rich friends for that to ever happen

Can't pay the bills, don't spread the malicious misinformation, or something like that.
