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

Nancy Mace Ripped After Using Transgender Slur To Refer To Charlie Kirk Killer

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was fiercely criticized following the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk when she used a slur to reference the rumored gender identity of the killer, who has yet to be identified by authorities.

Since Kirk's killing on Wednesday, Mace has erroneously claimed that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death—and now she's taken the opportunity to once again attack transgender people, saying with no evidence whatsoever that "the shooter was a tr*nny, or pro-tr*nny."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.
