Rudy Giuliani: Impeaching Trump would mean 'people's revolt'

[DonViejo]

Source: Sky News



President's lawyer claimed there was "no reason" for impeachment and says Trump has been "vindicated" by Michael Cohen's account.

20:03, UK,
Thursday 23 August 2018

Donald Trump's lawyer has said "the American people would revolt" if the president was impeached.

In an interview with Sky News Rudy Giuliani claimed there was "no reason" for an impeachment and called Mr Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen "a liar".

"You could only impeach [Trump] for political reasons and the American people would revolt against that," he said.

Cohen admitted on Tuesday to paying hush money to a porn actress and a model at the request of a "candidate" - revealed by his lawyer to be Donald Trump - in order to influence the 2016 US election campaign.

[bucolic_frolic]

1. NO RUDY, the people would CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!

[mysteryowl]

6. PARTY!!!!

[NewJeffCT]

24. Biggest parade ever

they'd have a ticker tape parade in NYC so big as to make the end of WW2 looks like a kid's birthday party.

[BigmanPigman]

58. We will have a new national holiday...Liberation Day!!

[Docreed2003]

87. PERIOD....the biggest parade PERIOD! Lol

[MANative]

26. I've got at least a couple dozen friends and relatives who have champagne on ice

Neighbors are ready for a block party, too. However he leaves, whenever he leaves, it'll be ALMOST as joyous as watching Barack take the oath of office in January 2009.

[jayschool2013]

36. I will finally replace my Iowa flag with a U.S. flag

the day Hair Twitler is removed from or leaves office. I may even stand at attention during the national anthem, but that's a whole other thing.

[MANative]

49. Re the flag...

We flew one consistently while Pres. Obama was in office. Came down in January, 2017, and it won't go back up until that usurper is gone. National anthem - lately I find myself avoiding places where I might hear it. Painful on many levels. My sister and I were at a WNBA game last weekend and just held hands while it played. Awful lump in my throat, let me tell you.

[jayschool2013]

72. Went to Busch Stadium in Saint Louis

Just this past Sunday. I just went to the bathroom and hid during the anthem. Does that make me a bad American?

[lagomorph777]

74. I'll bet it was standing room only in there.

[yesphan]

131. I've been doing that

since I read Zinn's book "A Peoples History Of the U.S." many
years ago.

[John Fante]

77. I don't know if I can look at the American flag the same way again.

The fact that 63 million people voted for this atrocious POS leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I have love for my democratic brethren though... more than ever, actually.

[lunasun]

106. Same here

[True Dough]

120. It truly is disturbing

to think that many people could have supported the Orange Menace.

[olegramps]

54. Just like the NY Firemen would celibrate your imprisonment for the 121 firemen's deaths.

[olegramps]

78. Sounds like he is advocating insurrection. Ghouliani the anarchist? Inciting rioting?

If the law breaking, lying, molester, con-man whose ass I am kissing is found to be crook, then the people should revolt. I can only hope the Rudy is the first casualty in his madness.

[GreenPartyVoter]

134. Sounds like another threat to me!

[ffr]

82. Like Bin Laden raid headline

I'd go so far as to say that Obama should even come out as the last legitimately elected president to speak to America, that tЯump's reign of terror has come to an end.

[Jarqui]

2. It's ok Rudy, impeach isn't Impeach

[Perseus]

42. Good one...

He is inciting people to revolt, and the brainless who follow trump are violent and easy to manipulate, he is playing a dangerous game.

[Joe Nation]

3. I'm a little tired of being threatened by these A-Holes

They aren't predicting a revolt as much as they are inciting one in my opinion.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Yup. Flip side: Failure to convict in the Senate after the election risks a People's Revolt. . . nt

[lagomorph777]

75. +1.

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. Exactly

[matt819]

4. Sounds like a threat to me

Or a directive. Like the one where Trump told the Russians he was okay with hacking Hillary's e-mails.

Just jokes, right? Nope. A signal.

And so is Rudy's threat. A signal.

[central scrutinizer]

55. Just like a mobster would do

Nice country you’ve got here, too bad if it would go up in flames.

[duforsure]

5. LOL

What have you been drinking today rudy? People would be in the streets alright, but for joy he's gone, and celebrating , but then again when has he been right about anything . He's a joke, and working for nothing probably because trumps got something on him.

[murielm99]

12. I keep picturing parties in the streets,

all over the world, like V-E day. Whether he resigns, is impeached, whatever, it does not matter. People worldwide will rejoice.

[mobeau69]

33. I will fly to Seattle

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

39. Reminds me of the street parties when he got Osama Bin laden.

Spontaneous cheer!!!

[unblock]

7. donnie's been completely "vindicated" by a "liar" who doesn't know anything about anything?

[elmac]

9. People all across the country would fill the streets

with parties and celebrations.

[Aristus]

10. Trumps's supporters are already revolting.

So no loss if we go through with it...

[elmac]

17. i can't stand to be around any of them

because they are so revolting.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

37. The thing is...

They think it's just them that are mad....I personally, am furious we wasted 2 years so far going literally, BACKWARDS. These guys have no clue. I think I can easily dust of many more than myself. (Meaning punch their lights out in a fist fight). I'm usual;ly non-violent, but, I have my limits.

[Liberalagogo]

11. Like happened when you assholes

fucked over Bill Clinton. Yeah that was some revolt. All that wound up happening is that you assholes decided the only way you could win is cheat.

[BeyondGeography]

13. The TV remotes would be flying!

[The Liberal Lion]

14. I said it in another thread and I'll reinterate it here

trump intends to leave America a devastated wreck. No matter what we do America is headed for a very bad place. We should have never let this man get this far. We have, and now we will have to deal with the consequences.

[Joe Nation]

18. Agreed... We have a huge bubble in the market

Last edited Thu Aug 23, 2018, 05:00 PM - Edit history (1)

We have a corrupt congress, a partisan Supreme Court, and a whole bunch of hicks that believe everything this lying prick in the Oval Office says. That sounds like a recipe for a national meltdown for any country.

[rzemanfl]

28. "recipe" n/t

[LakeArenal]

84. Actually it's either

Receipt is an archaic word for recipe.

My gramma used to say it as receipts.

[rzemanfl]

101. We live and learn. Thank you. n/t

[Joe Nation]

124. Actually it's a matter of just proofing the things I write. :)

The speed at which I type and the speed of my mind have never been equal.

[NewJeffCT]

44. I'm hoping

that if we do survive this, we'll get new laws on the books that require:

1) Candidates release at least their last 10 years of tax returns, and any and all documentation related to past bankruptcies. Penalty is that they are denied access to the ballot.

2) Records related to divorces must be unsealed

3) FBI background check must be passed

4) Any holdings of the candidate and family must be put into a blind trust. Anything more complex than standard investments and personal property must be sold off to a non-related 3rd party.

5) A respected, neutral doctor must give a physical exam of the candidates and release at least a summary of the results

6) Return of the Fairness Doctrine

[potone]

53. I'm with you...

except for #2. There may be very good reasons for keeping divorce proceedings sealed—the good of rhe childen, for instance. I have never understood why the Democrats have not made it a priority to restore the Fairness Doctrine when they had majorities in Congress.

[NewJeffCT]

56. too many Democrats

believe in that "liberal media" myth because Republicans have been screaming about it for at least 45 years now.

[True Dough]

121. That's the same way I feel

Divorce records aren't a necessity. The rest are good ideas, however.

[BigmanPigman]

63. I want to see more justices added to the SCOTUS

and election reform, maybe get rid of the Electoral College. Also, somehow get rid of allowing corporations to donate to politicians. They are NOT people.

Unless we do this we will see more repeats of the GOP (the minority) ruling the majority. Dems win the popular vote but we get stuck with Bush and tRump.

[NewJeffCT]

66. True

I think adding justices to the SCOTUS might be an option to consider because of the nature of Trump. Hasn't been done since around the Abe Lincoln era, or maybe right before?

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

129. Corporate reform would undermine Citizens United. it's time.

When you can set up a corporation in 20 minutes and hide criminal behavior...there's something very wrong.

[orangecrush]

117. agree whoieheartedly.

[raccoon]

122. Ita. His mission is to destroy this country. Or at least significantly weaken it. NT

[Oneironaut]

127. I have a slightly different opinion. Trump wants power and wealth.

Russia wants to destroy the country. Trump is a bull that Russia unleashed in a china shop. He’s a brainless puppet, too stupid to realize he’s a Russian asset in a game of asymmetric warfare.

[louis c]

15. Trump voters are cowards

They won't lift a finger. They are all big mouths. Just look at the demographics. What are they going to do, run us over with their wheel chairs. Ya, old white guys without an education are going to revolt.

I'm a product of the 60's and 70's when people really, really would turn out and get in people's faces. You know, against the war that Trump said he had bone spurs to avoid. The Trump supporters will crawl back into their holes and not vote anymore. That will make America stronger.

[TeamPooka]

40. Pence would calm them down with an "i'm an old white man, we're cool" speech

[truthisfreedom]

19. Classic insurance racket. "Nice little country you got there."

“It’d be a shame if it revolted.”

[pecosbob]

20. Yeah, sure, Buttercup

Just like your nazis were going to take over Washington last weekend.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

32. Please....let me round up rudy.

if he sucks his teeth or tongue clears his big mouth one more time on tv...Im'ma gonna blow myself.

[pecosbob]

64. I don't recall exactly when it was

but I do remember him chuckling on cable news about the impending leaks from the NY FBI anti-Hillary cabal...I wasn't Hillary's biggest fan in the world as I'm a bit of a lefty, but I haven't wanted to hit anyone in the mouth that much in a long, long time.

[Solly Mack]

21. Fart noises

That's all Rudy has got. Fart noises.

[pecosbob]

67. and bupkis for brains

[Solly Mack]

70. Which allows the wind to blow through so freely.

hehe

[sprinkleeninow]

86. Rude E's wind tunnel.🌫 🤣 eom

[Solly Mack]

94. A cavernous tunnel where Trump echoes a cacophony of fart noises

that Rudy repeats....and repeats....and repeats.

They're acid reflux accompanied by diarrhea.

[Racerdog1]

22. Let's get it on!

Anything the tRumtards try will be over in a matter of minutes, if not sooner. If it rains, they will melt.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

25. Im in agreement.

peoples revolt my GD ass. GOOD then we can round up the anarchists and put them in jail.

[Turbineguy]

23. Several dozen!

Perhaps.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

27. Yes. A mornings work.

Let's pull the band-aid off and see who the anarchists are. There's laws against that too. I know the gop flouts laws...but, lets start the grill eh?

[haele]

34. I figure 2% of Drumpf's base will act out. Most of his base will return to resentment.

and there will be a couple anarchist "The World Must Burn!" types that will take advantage of the acting out and create more chaos.
Y'know, that 2% will make it their mission to make the "Libruls" pay for a few months - and frankly, I don't care how racist the police are, they're still going to make sure the businesses and rich folks who ensure they get fat salaries safe and at least use "to protect and to serve" as an excuse to keep the peace and bang some "militia" heads when those fools cross the line.

Haele

[Tarc]

29. Giuliani, you and your ilk will be the first ones to go up for charges following a revolt

A majority of "the people" do not stand with you.

[Squinch]

30. There WILL be a lot of drinking, and some people don't hold their liquor well, so he might be right.

[appalachiablue]

31. !

[Zambero]

35. Rudy needs to find a new dictionary

Words work best when matching reality. "Vindicated" does not mean "implicated". And "Revolt" does not mean "celebration".

[bearsfootball516]

38. If Rudy meant to say celebrations, then yes, he's absolutely correct.

[edbermac]

41. The Peoples Revolutionary Army.

The Civil War lasted 4 years. This revolt would last about 4 minutes.

[SunSeeker]

100. LOL

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

132. The P.R.A.?

P-U.

[BlueStater]

43. This is sounds VERY close to inciting violence.

This deranged old coot has lost his mind. The media needs to stop giving him the time of day.

[titaniumsalute]

45. Trump really is revolting...I agree NT

[Dave in VA]

46. Rudy. Rudy. Rudy.

Did you forget to take your Cialis* this morning? You know that you always get a little crazy when you forget to take it...

* That's the name the nurses use to get him to take his dementia meds

[Snellius]

47. Revolt against whom? The government? Who's the president of the government, Rudy?

And who would impeach him? The elected Democratic representatives that would fulfill the duties the people elected them to do.

[Blue Owl]

48. The Electoral & Fake Russian Bot Revolt

Sounds impressive, Buttercup...

[RockRaven]

50. Go ahead and keep babbling Rudy... flap those gums all the way into a sedition charge.

I look forward to it.

[Siwsan]

51. I think we could easily distract and derail any such "revolt"

Just judiciously place 'Free Beer' and 'Free Doughnut' tables across "red" districts.

[rurallib]

52. maybe in Russia, but not here

[C_U_L8R]

57. Rudy, you can never have enough portapotties

Especially with this “crowd”

[dbackjon]

59. So you are advocating treason?

Off to Gitmo, TraitorBoy.


Trump is far more damaging to the US than Bin Laden ever dreamed of doing.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

60. Rudy evidently thinks

"Revolt" means dancing in the streets of the magnitude of the celebrations immediately after the announcement that WWll was over.

[honest.abe]

61. This is their last gasp desperation hail mary to save the "dear leader".

Pathetic and dangerous.

[Power 2 the People]

62. LOL. Celebration is more like it!

[dchill]

65. The truth is a liar! Rudy must be believed in all things.

[NRaleighLiberal]

68. Stochastic Terrorism! This is serious stuff flying out of Rudy's mouth. A threat. Lock Him Up!

[Dave Starsky]

85. They're hoping for stochastic terrorism...

From people who mostly sit in nursing homes watching Fox News and other Mom's Basement Dwellers who may or may not show up for anything.

[Thomas Hurt]

68. It wouldn't mean a people's revolt...you fascist...

It would the christofascist minority in this country would revolt.

The far right magical thinkers and fanatics might well start blowing up federal buildings like McVeigh did.

[muntrv]

71. It would mean a people's celebration.

[LanternWaste]

73. Seems no one's talking about impeachment more than the GOP these days.

Keep it up, my dim little friends... keep the news cycle filled with the word 'impeachment' as they gnash their teeth and rend their garments over something no one of substance is really discussing.

[GeorgeGist]

76. Is that why Rudy is hiding out in Scotland?

[Dave Starsky]

79. The American people will party like never before...

When that son of a bitch is run out of office. There will literally be dancing in the streets. I, myself, will host a neighborhood barbecue just to celebrate the fact that I, for once since November 2016, MIGHT be able to have a good night's sleep, not always wondering if the stupid, crazy, incompetent man in the White House is going to get us all killed by the next morning.

[keithbvadu2]

80. Too much of that rotgut Trump Vodka, Rudy?

Too much of that rotgut Trump Vodka, Rudy?

[riversedge]

81. Is this Rudy's call to the TrumpTrain to revolt?? sure sounds like it.

[C Moon]

83. I guess Rudy knows what's coming up ahead.

Impeachment!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

88. Maybe he'll have the support of Nazis and white nationalists, but not sane people.

The question is whose ego is bigger, Trump's or Giluiani? I'll have to go with Donnie Two Scoops, who, according to his most recent interview, believes the economy and the rest of the world would fall apart if he weren't president.

No one is irreplaceable, Donnie.

I think Giluiana is living in a fantasy world disconnected with reality and facts. It's sad to watch a man descend into dementia in public.

[hibbing]

89. Have they restocked their Tiki torch supply? n/t

[jalan48]

90. Looks like the threat of a stock market crash didn't work so well. So the ante is being upped to a

full scale revolt. I wonder if they will advertise on Craig's list for participants. The curtain is being pulled back on the Whizzer of Oz.

[humbled_opinion]

91. I would argue the reverse is true

Not impeaching him knowing that he broke the law should be the cause of the revolt, not holding a lawless President accountable.

[Mr.Bill]

92. Let me say something about these trump assholes.

Remember the Bundy tough guys who took over the wildlife refugee in Oregon? Remember when they tried to run the roadblock in the snow and one of them got his dumb ass shot and killed?

I remember at the time there was a video taken by one of them riding in one of the vehicles. They were armed to the teeth and ready to shoot it out with them gubmint agents. When they got stopped and the first shot was fired by the agents they all screamed and squealed like a bunch of six year old girls. They were scared shitless. Bring it on, cowards.

[beachbum bob]

93. When we hear talk about violence, this is the talk of a desperate admin...

stoking fear and hate. DOJ is going to be busy

[world wide wally]

95. Rudy..... YOU are revolting

[DinahMoeHum]

96. In your wet dreams, Fruity Rudy.

n/t

[sellitman]

97. It's spelled : "Revel"

There I fixed it Rudy.

[Kahuna7]

136. +1000

[Maxheader]

98. Bring it on snowflakes...

[SkatmanRoth]

99. More reinforcement that impeachment is the correct thing to do

I only wish our Democratic Congressmen would start drawing up articles of impeachment now and not wait until we take back the house.

[Freethinker65]

102. Rudy and Trump are two of the most revolting people I can think of

[yuiyoshida]

103. STFU RUDY, Trump is going down, with or without

his mob.

[Bleacher Creature]

104. I have the EXCLUSIVE video of how a Trump impeachment would be received.

[gopiscrap]

105. NOT, impeaching him is more likely to start a revolt

what the ghoul is doing is slyly incite rebellion and riot

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

107. Is there lead in your makeup Rudy?

We'd be doing cartwheels if the dotard faced justice.

[marble falls]

108. Trump supporters ain't the people and they're already revolting enough.

[truthisfreedom]

109. Arrest him for inciting to riot. 45 too.

[Yavin4]

110. This is exactly what would happen

[the_sly_pig]

111. So revolt....

We already put down one insurrection. Second would be much easier.

[BiminiTwisted]

112. It is said that the people are revolting! King Louis: You said it; they stink on ice.

[SteveMO]

113. Imagine Maxine Waters had said this

Republicans would have called for her execution.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

133. That's a fact.

[Whiskeytide]

114. Only the shitty people, Rudy. n/t

[orangecrush]

115. Seditionous.

[peekaloo]

116. Would someone please give Grandpa his laxative and a coloring book

and sit him on the toilet so he'll stop bothering us with his constipated ramblings?

Thank you.

[Spartacus101]

118. How can this idiot get it so wrong?

If we DON'T impeach him, it's gonna be 1793 in France again!

Imbecile!

"Let them eat TWO scoops!"

Oh, heck, bring out the pitchforks and torches...this guy is SO thick!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

119. The Deplorables are revolting! You said it, they stink on ice!

(Hat tip to Mel Brooks)

[raccoon]

123. Remember when you would only hear this sort of thing out of a shit hole country?

Remember when you would only hear this sort of thing out of a shit hole country?

Oh, wait....

[TexasBushwhacker]

125. First Trump said his impeachment would cause

the stock market the crash. Now Nosferatu says it would cause people to revolt. These threats just sound like admissions of guilt to me. Keep 'em coming.

Impeachments take a long time. I would still like to see him go through the public shame of an impeachment but I'd just as soon beat his ass in 2020. I DO NOT want Mike Pence to be President.

[stopbush]

126. If by revolt he means dancing in the streets, well then, yeah.

[DetlefK]

128. Does Rudy know that impeachment is a political process, not a legal one?

Impeachment is not a trial. Congress can impeach the President for whatever reason it wants as long as enough members of Congress are behind it.

[Glamrock]

130. Ppphhhhht. Yeah. A real "Rascal Revolution."

[Algernon Moncrieff]

135. Dear Rudy: Richard Nixon said this....

There can be no right to revolt in this society; no right to demonstrate outside the law, and, in Lincoln's words, 'no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law'. In a civilized nation no man can excuse his crime against the person or property of another by claiming that he, too, has been a victim of injustice. To tolerate that is to invite anarchy.

[hamsterjill]

137. Bring it!! I'm willing to take the risk!

Lock him up!!!
