    “While crime in Arizona is at an all-time high the Arizona Secretary of State’s office felt it was a good use of resources to send multiple agents across the country to storm an 80th birthday party like it was Normandy,” said Caroline Wren, a top GOP consultant, who hosted the birthday party at her home.

    Ridiculous. It’s well known that Arizona had been looking for him for days if not weeks. He could have let them know where he was at any point before the party.

    Rudy did this to himself.

      Besides: this “crime at an all time high” fearmongering is disgusting.

        How do you know when Republicans are lying?

        Their lips move.

        Especially when it’s been declining for more than a decade (I think even longer). Anomalies during pan times should be considered in context of world events.

      They served an indictment to a criminal. Is she talking about crime at an all-time high because she is mad that they are stopping Repubs while they are on a streak?

        She’s just saying she knows crime is high in Arizona because you don’t even have to go outside your home to find criminals. They’re right there next to you at the party you threw for them.

      The top GOP consultant needs to be reminded that what Roodles did was one of the very worst crimes. Just because he’s a rich white Republican doesn’t mean it isn’t.

      Also, it’s a lie that crime in Arizona is at an all-time high.

      It’s how it works if you’re in Trump’s circle. right wing media minimizes factual reporting, then extensively reports on the sensationalist witch hunt against the Republican victim. It looks like nonsense from the outside, but it’s very effective at maintaining their narrative with Republicans.

    When Rudy was mayor of New York he proudly arrested homeless folks and subway fare jumpers. Surely such a dedicated protector of the law isn’t averse to being treated that way himself?

      Not finding him would have resulted in an arrest warrant, not a dismissal. How does a former lawyer not know that?

        Ted Cruz blathered on about why we should sign the Paris Agreement when Paris is in another country. It’s all performative for their uncurious base who they know will never cross-reference what they say. Cruz went to an Ivy, btw. He’s not stupid. He’s a smart, grifting, dishonest asshole.

          I’m surprised he didn’t say anything about writing “Not entered into contract” on it at a 45 degree angle with red pen.

          I’m thinking Rudy got very drunk at his party, which should come as a surprise to no one, and decided to post that. Then, after he got served, his lawyers made him delete it.

      Literally no. Donald is so overtly a corrupt sack of shit criminal you have to have been deliberately ignoring reality to want to get near him. Once near, either you find out he is a skeeze and leave, or the world finds out you are a skeeze when you stay.

    Why would you throw a birthday party if you are avoiding “being served”. Go camping or something.
