Let’s talk about impeachment! I'm Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor, author, professor, and co-founder of Inequality Media. AMA. AMA-Finished

I'm Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor for President Clinton and Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. I also co-founded Inequality Media in 2014.

Earlier this year, we made a video on the impeachment process: The Impeachment Process Explained

Please have a look and subscribe to our channel for weekly videos. (My colleagues are telling me I should say, “Smash that subscribe button,” but that sounds rather violent to me.)

Let’s talk about impeachment, the primaries, or anything else you want to discuss.

I'm saying this with all honesty and seriousness - I don't know if Rudy is an inside agent to bring down Trump or not. Like, genuinely. Everything he has done since he became Trump's personal lawyer has set Trump back horribly.

And made it this far

(Wealthy) White male privilege is a hell of a booster.

Anyone who has lived in New York knows that he is in fact, that dumb

u/mdp300 New Jersey Sep 27 '19

And a sizable number of people in the suburbs around New York still think he was the best mayor ever.

Rudi is a great lawyer, I once got a parking ticket and he plead it down to a mere aggravated assault charge on fox News.

u/Freaudinnippleslip Sep 27 '19

How is that man a lawyer?!?

u/Sanctimonius Sep 27 '19

Well, he did get fired from his last legal job for gross legal incompetence, and there's been some quite serious talk of disbarring him...

u/Freaudinnippleslip Sep 27 '19

I did not know that. But I am not surprised in the slightest

u/imaginary_bees Oct 08 '19

I've heard the talk of disbarring Giuliani, but only from Democrats. Is there an actual push in the legal community for that? And when did he get fired for incompetence?

It's not that hard to get letters after your name, and completing an academic program guarantee nothing about the quality of your job performance or your innate intelligence. I know some really dumb Ph.Ds.

Case in point: Ben Carson was a brain surgeon.

Remember, "Cs get degrees."

I think Rudy is suffering from senility.

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '19

u/GiveToOedipus Sep 27 '19

It must be going around. Maybe he caught it from Trump.
