View Full Version : Trump Reported to Cheat Giuliani
Athos

This is classic Trump. When he doesn’t like something, he stops the check. He just refuses to pay you for pure spite.
Giuliani charging $20,000 a DAY for his services is pretty pathetic especially since Trump has nothing to show for it other than the signal honor of being the ONLY SITTING PRESIDENT to be Impeached TWICE!
Trump cares not a whit what trouble Giuliani might be in.
He didn’t win the election for Trump.
He didn't get a single State to stop the vote count.
He didn't get a single election official to stop the certification.
He didn't get a single State vote count to find more votes for Trump.
He didn't get a single State to declare Biden's votes invalid.
He didn't get Congress to overturn the election.
It’s pathetically, embarrassingly, much much simpler: When Trump is Unhappy— He just doesn’t Pay you. Nothing more complicated than that.
Ask the hundreds of contractors and small businesses that have had the misfortune of thinking that Trump Inc was the Big Ticket. Ask the Banks that got shafted when Trump refused to pay them and argued that it was THEIR FAULT for lending him the money in the first place.

Dominion is suing Rudy for defamation .The $1.3 billion complaint claims that Rudy , Sidney Powell, Russell Ramsland, L. Lin Wood, Mike Lindell, Patrick Byrne, Lou Dobbs, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, One America News Network, and The Epoch Times peddled " defamatory falsehoods”.
Yes Dominion has deep pockets and your typical accused would get scared off by the amount and try to settle . But Rudy is a accomplished public attorney and knows all the tricks of the trade .
All I have to say to Dominion is be careful what you wish for . Discovery is a B+tch. Rudy says that this is going to allow him to investigate Dominion “fully and completely " ;something that he was not given a chance to do during the post election challenges .

You're a lousy lawyer, and not very astute on the law since Rudy would have to prove he knew those things for FACT when he made those allegations. If he cannot then his countersuit will be dismissed and no discovery granted and judgement for the plaintiff.

Rudy is an accomplished lawyer ,prosecutor ,mayor ,and civil servant . Do not underestimate him despite his inclination to theatrics . I can show you photos of him where he buffonishly dressed up as a biker to go on a sting . Still he got the job done over and over .
Discovery is what a presiding judge allows . Now I admit that filing in the DC Circus was a good move by Dominion because they will probably assign the case to that clown Sullivan .
But Federal rules are clear . "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense.
For Rudy to be denied discovery request Dominion would have to prove that the request is not relevant

to whoever represents Rudy. Discovery is the pretrial phase when BOTH sides are permitted to investigate the facts by obtaining evidence from the other side including physical evidence, answers to inquiries depositions ,producing documents . In this case I would assume the voting machines being subject to forensic examination would be more than reasonable as well as examination of programing and source code and other e-discovery . They claim that the machines were not hooked up to the net. There is already an expert who proved that false by hacking into them during a hearing .
Dominion may try to say some of the stuff deposed is protected under something like trade secrets . A judge like Sullivan may even buy into that line of manure .

Tom, why do you insist on being on the wrong side of every legal issue discussed here? To make matters worse, you are jumping on the bandwagon of a trio of the biggest buffoons ever to inhabit the world of jurisprudence.
Rudy is second only in his buffoonery to the buffoon-in-chief now happily departed, the nutty-as-a-fruitcake Sidney Powell who promotes bizarre QANON and sees commies under every bed, and the certifiable Lin Wood who routinely calls for assassination of those he dislikes.
from Tomder - Discovery baby! Dominion just bought themselves ton of trouble .

If the don't then their case will be dismissed and it will give added weight to the claims made against them.
News Flash, Tom. Dominion has already provided all the information - that you think will reveal so much chicanery - to the officials who use their machines - codes and all. There's nothing new for Rudy to discover!
Your support of Rudy who has clearly become unhinged over the last several years is troubling.

Please do not link to another website that proves to be a waste of time. Just explain in your own words how you conclude they are girls.
Might add that the practice of using DES ended back in the 70's, so the boys being talked about now certainly do not fall into that category. You need a much more current explanation.
You might want to look at the CDC info on DES. No mention is made of it producing any kind of gender confusion.

Here's from another article:
"For many people, biology defines sex, and sex is always a binary affair. Sure, postmodernists have been playing with the concept of gender for decades, but sex, well, sex is sacred, which means you're either biologically male or female. But never both. Or neither.
But biology doesn't work that way. Biological phenomena don't necessarily fit into human-ordained binary categories. So while humans insist that you're either male or female – that you have either XY or XX sex chromosomes – biology begs to differ."
Then, read Genesis 3, where sweet, innocent Eve used her free will to open up the world -- and our biology -- to endless possibilities.

You are going to have to learn that making an assertion but providing no support is the opposite of being persuasive. You tried the DES argument, but the CDC shut that down, so then you tried the "broken chromosomes" approach, and yet you have nothing to back that up. What's next, the influences of little green men?

So if you really want the facts, and to follow through on your good intentions by being a good ally, check out Riley J. Dennis’ explanation of why trans women are not biologically male.

From https://www.patheos.com/blogs/religioustolerance/2018/01/des-transgender/
"The precise cause of gender transition is unknown. However current research into gender identity and sexual orientation point towards processes before birth as being responsible.
A person's biological sex is determined during the conception process when an ovum is fertilized by one very lucky spermatozoon, and a zygote is produced normally with either an XY sex chromosome pair for a male, or XX pair for a female.
The bodies of all embryos start off as female. However, embryos that are biological males generally produce hormones that change their appearance to male. Thus, an ultrasound test on a ten-week-old embryo can often tell whether she or he is a biologically female or male.
In contrast, major neuron development in the brain of the fetus starts much later in pregnancy, in the middle of the second trimester.
Thus, during pregnancy, there are some processes early on that determine a person’s biological sex and their anatomical design.
However, the processes that develop the brain occur much later, in the second and third trimester. This introduces the possibility that some processes at different times during pregnancy can result in the birth of a new-born with a male body and a female brain or vice versa."
I will wait patiently for that passage.

You are still reading the wrong article or at least cherry-picking on top of it. Transwomen were born with external male sex organs but their chromosomes, heart, mind, brain scream "I'm a girl!" As they age and can afford it, they go through HRT, electrolysis, perhaps voice coaching, and what is known as bottom surgery to become the woman they know they are.

DES was a major gamechanger for babies born during the '30s through the '70s. Calculate how old those babies are today. And yes, a number of those now-adult babies are struggling with dysphoria because they are, to all appearances, women trapped in a man's body, or vice versa.
The broken chromosomes was my term for chromosomes that have been damaged or changed in some way. From https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Chromosome-Abnormalities-Fact-Sheet
Structural Abnormalities: A chromosome's structure can be altered in several ways.
Deletions: A portion of the chromosome is missing or deleted.
Duplications: A portion of the chromosome is duplicated, resulting in extra genetic material.
Translocations: A portion of one chromosome is transferred to another chromosome. There are two main types of translocation. In a reciprocal translocation, segments from two different chromosomes have been exchanged. In a Robertsonian translocation, an entire chromosome has attached to another at the centromere.
Inversions: A portion of the chromosome has broken off, turned upside down, and reattached. As a result, the genetic material is inverted.
Rings: A portion of a chromosome has broken off and formed a circle or ring. This can happen with or without loss of genetic material.
Your quote from Jesus is simply dishonest to an astounding level.

WG, believe anything you want about broken chromosomes or Genesis 3. You have that privilege and I'm not trying to belittle your beliefs. But if you are asked to support them, then that's where we are running afoul of each other. If you want to believe that Gen. 3 opened some mystical door of endless gender possibilities, then go for it, but at least be honest enough to admit that there is no support for that in the Bible. Saying that Jesus told us to love everyone does not support the idea of many, many gender arrangements, and it comes far short of showing that Jesus would approve of that. His testimony was that God created man and woman and put them together in marriage. Beyond that, He made no comments on gender that I can recall.
Similarly, science offers no support of a chromosomal cause for trans people. Now that the human genome has been mapped, it is a fairly straight forward undertaking to compare genomes one person to another. No genetic basis has been discovered for same sex attraction, and I feel pretty safe in saying the same is true for the trans situation.

I done said that awreddy! "Genesis 3. The LGBTQIA community has been in existence for millennia. Adam and Eve, using their free will, opened up their Creator's binary plan."
From https://www.christiancentury.org/article/critical-essay/nonbinary-gender-and-diverse-beauty-creation
"Just as we call God the Alpha and the Omega, implying all things from first to last and in between, the author of Genesis 1 is using a poetic device to corral the infinite diversity of creation into categories we can easily understand. For as long as there have been humans, there have been people who fall outside of the male/female binary.
A creation story from Sumer, a Mesopotamian society and neighbor to what would become Israel, has references from 1600 BCE to humans who are created with sex organs that are not immediately identifiable as female or male.
The Mishnah and the Talmud, the Jewish compilations of law put together between 200 CE and 500 CE, include examples of individuals who don’t fit male or female categories, including those whose sex is indeterminable, those who have characteristics of more than one sex, and those whose characteristics change over time. This tells us that even the descendants of the people who recorded Genesis 1 did not necessarily assume that the gender or sex categories seen in verse 27 were all-encompassing.
In Greek and Roman times, people born with indeterminate or ambiguous sex characteristics were called hermaphrodites, after a Greek god who exhibited both male and female traits.
Today people with a combination of different sex characteristics identify themselves as intersex, and they make up between .018 percent and 1.7 percent of the world’s population. Throughout history, doctors have attempted to 'fix' intersex infants through surgical intervention before a child can make any decisions, and sometimes even without the knowledge or consent of the parents."
If you go talk to a pedophile, you will get a pedophile friendly answer. What do you think you will get from talking to a trans person? Do you really think that person will say, "I have a mental illness that is causing this?"
No, that has never been the answer from any of my trans, bi, gay, and enby friends.

I done said that awreddy! "Genesis 3. The LGBTQIA community has been in existence for millennia. Adam and Eve, using their free will, opened up their Creator's binary plan."Then we agree that God's will is for men and women. Like I said "awreddy". Progress!
The Mishnah and the Talmud, the Jewish compilations of law put together between 200 CE and 500 CE, include examples of individuals who don’t fit male or female categories1. I doubt that is true. 2. Even if it is, there are many examples in the Bible of people who don't follow God's will. That does not mean their behavior is approved.
The rest of your passage was just stats. Still waiting to see how those "broken chromosomes" work. Better yet, just a statement that you were guessing.
When I ask you or try to discuss something with you, why do I get a downputting, even nasty, response? Is it because you're a conservative Southern white male?Wow. Gender bias, regional bias, and political bias, and all in one sentence. And you want to accuse people of "downputting"??? I question your thinking and your rationale. You insult my gender, region, and political philosophy. Who really do you think is guilty???

Yes, that was God's will. Then Eve ate that legendary apple.

It has nothing to do with following God's will!* Your lack of reading comprehension again...plus unwillingness to look beyond your literal nose.

My trans woman friend will be reexplaining that to me this evening. Stay tuned.

And what have you done to earn my complaint?
*Let's say at birth you were born with external male sex organs plus a vagina. What would your parents have done about that?

So your behavior is someone else's fault? Interesting. As to "what I have done", I have questioned your thinking, rationale, and responses. That's how discussions go. If you don't like that, then I'll be glad to just drop it.
*Let's say at birth you were born with external male sex organs plus a vagina. What would your parents have done about that?Completely separate issue. That is not what trans-gender people are.

If you're born with a faulty body, was that God's will? If your parents, medical professionals, and/or you make corrections, is that against God's will?

People react to what each of us says or does.

Ah! What ARE they?

People react to what each of us says or does.You are responsible for your own behavior.
Ah! What ARE they?Hermaphrodites. You stated that above. Sometimes referred to as intersex.

I know, I know. I just PMed Curlyben about that thread.Oh for goodness sake. If it bothers you so much to have an honest discussion, then talk to someone else. You are not required to exchange with me. After all, you know how those white, southern, conservative men are. Tell me why that should not have been considered to be a race-based, gender biased statement? Should it be reported?

I asked Curlyben to move our discussion to its own thread on a different board. What we are talking about has nothing to do with the thread's topic, Giuliani, nor does it have anything to do with Current Events.

If you genuinely consider me to be a troll, please say so. I would prefer to drop it rather than accept that.
