There was a time when most Americans considered Rudy Giuliani respectable and credible. His devotion to Trump has altered our perception of the old and obviously senile man.

Twenty years ago I tried to watch FOX Noise. Because I am well informed and refuse to be lied to, I never watched it again. I notice that when a guest appears on the right wing propaganda machine, they attempt to match the craziness of their on-air personalities. Such was the case with Giuliani.

He matched Sean Hannity lie for lie, and at time escalated the level of insanity. He made the preposterous claim that ‘the president could not be subpoenaed. Then he attacked the FBI for searching Michael Cohen’s office, home, hotel room, and safety deposit box, calling them ‘stormtroopers.’

The former head of those ‘stormtroopers,’ James Comey, defended his former constituents.

“I know the New York FBI. There are no ‘stormtroopers’ there; just a group of people devoted to the rule of law and the truth. Our country would be better off if our leaders tried to be like them, rather than comparing them to Nazis.”

I thought it strange that a general in Trump’s fascist regime would call others ‘Nazis.’ Trump’s army controls both houses of congress. Instead of working for the welfare of the American people, they are bowing to the demands of their fuhrer, and allowing him to harm our nation, and place our people in virtual slavery.

Trump, Giuliani, and most of Trump’s army are composed of old, white men. They are the past, and are endangering the future of our once respected nation. Beliefs in white supremacy, sexism, xenophobia, and homophobia, combined with a lack of skills such as diplomacy and making decisions based on accurate information, have destroyed democracy, and violated the Constitution.

Adding Giuliani to his small staff of lawyers brings the level of craziness to a high. We knew that he had lost most of his mental acuity at the Republican convention in July of 2016. What’s left of his mind is; well; it’s very sad.
