My least favorite human being, too funny.

Rudy Giuliani's paid consulting for foreign governments would present conflicts of interest as the nation's top diplomat that would make the Clinton Foundation look trifling.

Since leaving the New York mayor's office, Giuliani has made millions as a lawyer and consultant, including for some clients at odds with U.S. foreign policy. When some of those ties surfaced amid Giuliani's own presidential bid in 2007, they were considered to pose an unprecedented number of ethical quandaries for a potential commander in chief.

Now those concerns have no doubt been eclipsed by Donald Trump's own web of business entanglements, which are still not completely known to the public. Giuliani's participation in Trump's transition and contention for the job of secretary of state poses a direct challenge to Trump's promises to root out Washington self-dealing and ban his administration's officials from lobbying for foreign governments.

In 2011, an exiled Iranian political party called the Mujahedin e-Khalq, known as the MEK, paid Giuliani to give a speech in Washington calling on the State Department to remove the group from its list of terrorist organizations. The MEK recruited a host of other formal officials to its cause and succeeded in reversing the terrorist designation in 2012.

A subsidiary of Giuliani's consulting firm, Giuliani Partners, advised Qatar's state-run oil company on security at a natural gas plant, The Wall Street Journal reported. Qatar is a U.S. ally that hosts a major American military base but once stifled an attempt to arrest Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, who went on to mastermind the Sept. 11 attacks, according to the 9/11 commission report.

The same subsidiary, Giuliani Security & Safety, provided security advice to a Singapore gambling project on behalf of a partnership that included a tycoon close to the North Korean regime who is considered an organized crime figure by the U.S., according to a report in the Chicago Tribune. "I think the person involved, if it's correct, was a 1 percent owner that had no involvement with us, we never worked for, had nothing to do with," Giuliani told NBC's Tim Russert at the time.

What a scumbag.

I wonder how many of the 'Never Trump' Republicans will vote against some of the more odious choices Trump puts forward?

The choices he is considerating is an excellent display of really bad judgement I wonder where that lying, facist, hypocrite jerk Huckabee fits in?

Health and Human Services most likely.

I am not a Hillary bot, if you look at my pre election posts you will find my vote went for the selection of any upcoming SCOTUS picks, more than once. For some reason I still think this country has a chance in spite of what our political system has turned out to be. Again, we need term limits now.

Who where I live gives a rats ass about the Dodgers? Certainly not me. :)

That's right. Pretend you never taunted me about how Hillary was going to crush Trump. That will make it go away. :D

How did that election forecast of yours turn out Bob?

We Dems beat St. Birdie like a red headed stepchild. Did your gal, Jill Stein, reach one percent yet?

No, but I wasn't popping champagne corks and blowing on party horns in a big ass premature, counting your chickens before they are hatched, victory celebration either.

My God that must have been a bummer of an embarrassment when those returns started going bad for you. :eek:

Yeah, that's right. Celebrate throwing the best chance you had of winning this election under the bus.

Do you have any friends in real life or have you driven everyone away with this bitter tough guy façade, Joad? I almost pity you, man.

No dude.

I'm just a bitter old man with nothing to live for except to try to drag other people down.

At least you don't seem incapable of self-reflection.:cool:

Good luck with that...thanks for your candor. :rolleyes:

Let's see.

Here's a link my post from Nov.4th where I predicted she wold get 1%.

And here's the latest results I could find:

How did Johnson and Stein do in 2016?

Gary Johnson won 3.3 percent of the national popular vote, and Jill Stein 1.0 percent (as of this writing).

So, I'd say I hit it pretty close to the mark.

So, how did your prognostications about how your candidate work out?

About the same as any other "prognosticator" out there, including yourself, Joad.

Once again, I've let myself be trolled into responding to someone not worth the keystrokes. My apologies to the forum. :o

Later Tom, I hope you have a good life.

If you will look at the post I made on Nov.4th you will see that I called the contest between Trump and Clinton "too close to call." That's a Helluva lot better than most other prognosticators, especially you.

There you go.

Write off anyone who calls you out on your dumbassery as a troll.

Then everything will be OK.

I do have a high capacity for self awareness, if I do say so myself.

You, on the other hand, not so much.

That suggests that self-awareness isn't enough.

Enough of/for what?

Rudy Giuliani put a lot of gangsters and other criminals in prison which is where you're going pretty soon.

That was certainly worth suspending the bill of rights.
