The irony, lol. Rest in piss.Democrats are choosing teachers unions and special interests over the well-being of our students.
The CDC says schools can safely re-open if proper precautions are taken.
What are we waiting for?

And your guy held a fucking functioning situation room out of the restaurant of his Florida hotel, while a foreign leader was sitting there dining. And brought another foreign leader into a secure sciff on a whim.Like May, Turnbull had important issues on his mind, in this case steel tariffs. Taking his chance, Turnbull collared Trump, who was obsessing about something else. “Donald said: ‘Malcolm, do you want to see my SCIF? It is so cool.’ I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought he was talking about a boat [a skiff]. We turned around a corner and there was this big steel box about the size of a shipping container.”
Trump pulled Turnbull into what turned out to be a “sensitive compartmented information facility”, an ultra-secure communications hub, with the new French president, Emmanuel Macron, also in tow.
“He said: ‘This is so cool – when you’re in there, nobody can hear you, not even the Chinese. It’s so secret.”
I'm going to be reminding any "conservative" who ever tries to talk security that their guy spent 4 years as the single largest security risk to the US, including divulging intelligence from allies to a hostile country without their approval, and they remained silent.
Possibly punative, added to actual damages.
Giuliani is worth $45 million.
Dominion makes under that in a year, so $1.3 billion would be 25 years of revenue.
In this article Dominion says it already expects to lose $200 million in the next five years because of statements from Giuliani and Powell. Says an expert in the field:
If Giuliani's statements destroyed Dominion, and did so under false pretenses, asking for all the business Giuliani cost them seems fair. I guess Giuliani could take the FOX defense "everyone knows I'm not a credible source of information" but the problem was, he was speaking directly as Trump's lawyer at the time, and even if he didn't people actually believed him to the point of a murderous insurrection.When you run out of gas in this industry, it's either because you run out of cash or you run out of reputation. And that's when things go bankrup or things get acquired
I suspect the other $1 billion and change is a "Don't fuck with us" sign wrapped around a sledgehammer. It's intended to be a blunt instrument, beating Giulian into a settlement. Dominion wants their name "cleared" from all this, and Giuliani admitting he was wrong, in public, does that. Giuliani doesn't even have the $200 million of losses Dominion says they'll lose, so even a modest judgement on the facts could ruin him forever. If it were my case, I'd offer Giuliani the chance to buy his way out of the lawsuit with a public admission he was wrong -- and a signed contract saying, that if Giuliani ever goes back on that apology, he forfeits $200 million before his will goes into effect. Giuliani works with Trump, he knows all about NDAs.
I don't know if any judge would ever rationally put a $1 billion judgement against Giuliani.
I also theorized earlier that Dominion is waiting for Giuliani to say "Trump made me do it". Trump might not have $1.3 billion either, but based on his loans coming due, even if he has it he can't spare it. The second Trump becomes a legal target in this, the price tag skyrockets. Trump's words and actions are a matter of objective public record. A judge could get to decide how much attacking democracy directly should cost. How much starting a murderous insurrection should cost. How much making the US into the laughingstock of the world, by standing on a pile of four hundred thousand dead Americans and claiming you won the election but it was stolen by voting machines, should cost. By having that judgement come before bankruptcy or Trump's will, it would not just bankrupt Trump personally but also his entire family, many of whom run businesses Trump props up, like Ivanka and Kushner.
We might actually find out which Trump values more: his family, or pretending he won the election.
I hope it gets there. I don't know that it will. Either way, Giuliani's good and fucked. He knows Trump won't bail him out, because he's no longer useful to Trump.

Good silly op-ed about how DEMONcrats are totes infecting Republicans with covid. The Republicans that "proudly" decide to ignore all medical advise and treat the virus as a hoax, at least.
Indeed - he will need serious and expensive representation. Dominion has deep fucking pockets, so Lil Rudi won't be able to bury them in paperwork. People might laugh this suit off (not you, others) in the overall situation with Trump/Giuliani and their multiple felonies, but this kind of thing is a great way to punish them - take their money and livelihood. As an analogous example, Capone killed multiple people and committed untold number of crimes, but he eventually went to jail for tax evasion.
This is how the Trump Crime Family will go down.
So how much can a lawsuit like this cost Rudi? This will give people some good idea of the kind of funding required for a lawsuit like this.
The Texas attorney general’s office asked the Legislature for $43 million to pay the outside counsels for Google lawsuit.

It will cost him millions - $5M+. And I'm not sure where he's going to find it. I don't know how wealthy he is personally, and I'm sure he made a bundle during the Trump Residency, as most of Trump's Crime Syndicate did, but I don't know if he personally has the resources. And it's unclear if the Trump Legal Fund would cover this - probably not, Trump doesn't even pay his own attorneys.
Assuming he loses, and the verdict is even in the 10's of millions, if he lives long enough and plays out the appeals process, he'll be bankrupt - and still owe millions, because typically judgments can't be discharged in bankruptcy court.
He's fucked. And this isn't the only suit coming down the pipeline against him.

Well this is fun. One of the Constitutional Lawyers that Trump's team cites extensively is pretty unhappy that they're grossly misinterpreting his work and failing to cite it accurately, separately.
He points out that House Impeachment managers use his work too, he argued both sides of impeachment so there's a wealth of info for either argument. But they like, accurate cited him and didn't claim he was taking a position opposed to one he actually holds.

This is gonna be good.
Yeah, Giuliani's finished as I can't imagine anyone wanting to work with him in any capacity after everything. Imagine a multimillionaire coming out broke and rekt after working with Trump.
Trump probably wouldn't care if he got caught up in it cause it would be just another bankruptcy.
