Beyond parody.

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani is known for making constant gaffes in attempts to defend his client.

He's admitted to potential crimes on the air, claimed that "truth isn't truth," and otherwise routinely demonstrated his ineptitude, but his most recent blunder might just top them all.


Giuliani butt-dialed an NBC reporter not once, but twice, leaving two different voicemails.

In the first, he can be heard discussing international dealings and the need for cash, but it's unclear to whom he's speaking and the context of the conversation is hard to decipher.

After expressing the need to send the other participant in the conversation to Bahrain, Giuliani says:

“The problem is we need some money. [silence passes] We need a few hundred thousand."

It's unclear what delegation is being sought in Bahrain, if any.

In the second call, Giuliani and his associate berate the Bidens, repeating baseless claims that Biden used his office of Vice President to boost his son's business dealings.

“There’s plenty more to come out. He did the same thing in China. And he tried to do it in Kazakhstan and in Russia. It’s a sad situation. You know how they get? Biden has been been trading in on his public office since he was a senator.”

He then begins slamming Hunter Biden.

“When he became vice president, the kid decided to go around the world and say, ‘Hire me because I’m Joe Biden’s son.’ And most people wouldn’t hire him because he had a drug problem.”

Little is known about the full conversation, including names mentioned and what exactly is supposed to happen in Bahrain, but we're sure talented reporters are already scouring for the sc

'Dr. Pimple Popper' Star Reveals She Suffered Stroke While Filming Series: 'I Had A Part Of My Brain That Died'

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
