They are all the same. Women!! You look at her you see fani Willis
To ensure that Trump would never contest, they needed to charge him under state charges where presidential pardons don't apply.
Letitia, Fani and Alvin Bragg were the insurance policy Incase he beat federal charges.

This is the person defending karmelo Anthony

Dominique Alexander, a Dallas-based activist and founder of the Next Generation Action Network, has faced multiple criminal charges and convictions over the years. Below is a summary of the crimes he has been charged with and convicted of, based on available information:

Convictions:

Felony Injury to a Child (2011):

Details: Alexander was convicted for causing serious bodily injury to a 2-year-old child in 2009 by shaking the child, resulting in a subdural hemorrhage and retinal hemorrhages. He admitted to the act in a signed confession.

Sentence: Initially sentenced to 10 years of deferred adjudication probation in June 2011. He faced

probation violations multiple times, leading to a 2-year prison sentence in 2016, which was later

extended to 5 years. However, a judge ruled that his probation time counted as time served, resulting

in only 8 days in jail.

Note: This was a first-degree felony, which could have carried a sentence of 5 to 99 years in prison.

Felony Theft (2016-2021):

Details: Alexander was indicted in 2017 for felony theft of property valued between $2,500 and $30,000, stemming from a 2016 dispute with a financial company in Denton County. He pleaded

guilty in 2021.

Sentence: Sentenced to 2 days in jail, with credit for time already served.

Note: The charge was enhanced due to a prior conviction for forgery.

Other Convictions:

Alexander has been convicted of additional offenses, including:

Theft: Related to stealing a car in 2011 (he claimed it was a dispute over payment with a car lot).

Check Forgery: Charged in 2012.

Making a False Report: Specific details unclear but noted in multiple sources.

Evading Arrest: Specific details unclear but mentioned in his criminal history.
I How does an ex convict get to represent clients? His licence should have been taken away.
He seems to get off very lightly. I doubt anyone has any idea why this was so

Like we don't expect dump to replace facts with his alternative unreality, lol. Next he'd be releasing a report claiming he won the election he lost too, and aliens from out of space, though I do wonder why he's still hiding the Epstein files.

The below shows how ignorant you are. China holds US bonds that they can easily sell on the open market if they want to, and USA can't even withhold the interest they must regularly pay. I'd like dump to try though, just so you can see what happens when you default.
The issue is not about China debt. They were already fined $28B by Missouri iIIRC.
You are changing topic to downplay your stupidity. You believed Fauci lies, IVM , HCl, vaccines etc Whatever they said , you swallowed their lies hook, line and sinker. You are gullible and easy to manipulate.

Budaatum. The official white house position on COVID-19 has been released.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-true-origins-of-covid-19/

Mirrors everything I have been saying here for the last 5 years.


Goes scorched earth on Dr Faucci, Dr Daszak of Ecohealth Alliance, gain of function to create the covid19 virus , face diapers, WHO, NIH , on lockdown and social distancing .Also indirectly accuses Gov Cuomo of killing elderly people in homes after sending covid19 patients there


1.
The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.

2.
Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.

3.
Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.

4.
Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.

5.
By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.



Stops short of declaring the 2020 elections used COVID to create an avenue for mass mail in voting.

Either way , it looks like some people who were not pardoned might face the music.
It also looks like China is royally screwed up. There are many lawyers who would file class action suit on them for trillions of dollars for letting the virus spread intentionally China holds $1.3 trillion of USA debt which might not get paid back.....

Second thoughts. Trump should preemptively pardon every one that Judge Boasberg wants to hold in contempt. If Boasberg overturns the pardon , then he should have Faucci arrested.

Democrats shooting themselves in the foot as always.
Budaatum. How about this quote.
Most egregiously, the federal government demonized alternative treatments and disfavored narratives, such as the lab leak theory,

The NHS will be pursued if it does not follow new guidance on single-sex spaces, the chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has said.

Along with other public bodies, the NHS will be receiving guidelines after the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.

"We've been speaking to the health service for an inordinately long time - we will now be asking them when they will be updating their advice," Baroness Falkner told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Currently the NHS guidance says trans people should be accommodated according to the way they dress, their names and their pronouns. Under the ruling this would be scrapped.

Five key takeaways from Supreme Court ruling

The EHRC says it is "working at pace" to provide an updated code of conduct for services, including the NHS and prisons, and it expects its updated guidance to be in place by the summer.

The ruling could have implications for spaces such as hospital wards, changing rooms and domestic refuges.

Asked whether the EHRC would pursue the NHS if it doesn't change, Baroness Falkner replied "yes we will".

"We will be having those conversations with them to update that guidance," she said.

An NHS spokesperson told the BBC the service was "reviewing guidance on same sex accommodation" and as part of this process "will consider and take into account all relevant legislation and the Supreme Court ruling".

Wednesday's case was brought by women's rights campaigners who challenged the Scottish government, arguing sex-based protections should apply only to people that are born female.

Judges ruled that when the term "woman" is used in the Equality Act it means a biological woman, and "sex" means biological sex.

This means a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) - a legal document that recognises an individual's gender identity - will now not change a person's legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act.

The Supreme Court justices argued this was the only consistent, coherent interpretation.

There is already Equality Act guidance which allows for women-only spaces, such as toilets, changing rooms and hospital wards in certain circumstances.

But under the new ruling a person who was born male but identifies as a woman does not have a right to use a space or service designated as women only.

That includes transgender women who have legally changed their gender and hold a GRC.

Baroness Falkner talks to Today's Nick Robinson about the Supreme Court ruling

Baroness Falkner said trans people should use their "power of advocacy" to ask for facilities including a "third space" for toilets.

"Single-sex services like changing rooms must be based on biological sex if a male person is allowed to use - it's no longer a single sex space."

She added the ruling was "a victory for common sense only if you recognise that trans people exist, they have rights and their rights must be respected".

British Transport Police said trans women in custody would now be searched by male officers as an interim measure while it reviews its policies and practices.

"Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a GRC may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex," a spokesperson said.

"However as an interim position while we digest yesterday's judgement, we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee."

Baroness Falkner said the next stage of litigation may well be tests of the efficacy of GRCs.

Asked about whether she thought GRCs were now "worthless", she replied: "We don't believe they are. We think they're quite important."

The new guidance could also have an impact on women's sport, where the question over whether transgender women can participate has been a high-profile issue in recent years.

Sports have tightened up rules around transgender athletes at the elite levels. Athletics, cycling and aquatics have banned transgender women from taking part in women's events, while other sports have put in place eligibility criteria.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said a review on gender and equality laws was "a good idea".

Speaking to broadcasters during a visit to Cambridge, she said: "We need to make sure that the law is clear and the public bodies follow the law, not guidance from organisations that don't understand it."

She added the laws needed to be updated to ensure that they are "there to prevent discrimination, not for social engineering".

Watch: What Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of a woman means... in 65 seconds

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman, a prominent supporter of trans rights, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme the decision would "stoke the fires of the culture war" and trans people now feared they could lose access to facilities they've used, in some cases, for decades.

She added that trans people had been attacked in recent years "just for being who they are" and she was "concerned" about the impact of the Supreme Court decision.

Trans rights campaigners have said they will be examining the judgment closely to decide on their next steps.

The UK government has welcomed the "clarity and confidence" for women and service providers brought by the judgement.

A government spokesperson said: "Single sex spaces are protected in law and will always be protected by this government, and trusts should follow the clarity the ruling provides."

Health minister Karin Smyth said the government would be reviewing the ruling to "make sure we are fully compliant with it" and would be working with equality bodies to make sure organisations were fully compliant.

She said the government was not interested in "so-called culture wars" and believed that everybody should have "their dignity and privacy and their rights respected".

"I think now is the time to make sure that we look to the future, that rights are very clear for people and that service providers absolutely make sure they comply with the law," she said.



For clarity.
THE SUPREME COURT NO MATTER WHERE IT SITS AS LONG AS ITS CIVIL MATTER REPRESENTS ALL PARTS OF UK.

UNLESS IT CRIMINAL CASE, THEN SCOTLAND ACTS ON ITS OWN.

THE CASE THAT WAS RULED RECENTLY WAS A CIVIL CASE.
Odd that a society, very advanced for that matter requires a court decision to define a woman.

The war is over, only that the protagonists are making their last effort to hold on to territory. The war ended the day Trump was sworn in.
EU and democrats are the ones fuelling the animosities. Trump is doing everything he can to silence the guns. No military aid he has authorized yet to Ukraine.
EU wants Zelensky to strike Moscow and are ready to provide him with long range missiles . Those are the real warmongers.
Whether fighting continues, the end result will be

_Russia keeps Eastern Ukraine
_West Ukraine gets admitted to EU
_West Ukraine never joins NATO.
_EU cancels Russian sanctions and
resumes gas purchases.

_As a result of Russia resetting relationships ,the most potent threat to the economies of Europe and America is clearly identified as China.

Today, following allegations of mortgage fraud against her, I have sent a letter seeking disciplinary proceedings to determine whether Letitia James is fit to hold a law license in this state.
I believe she is not and her license should be revoked.


They disbarred Giuliani for questioning election results.

She ran the mortgage financing fraud for over a decade,refinancing claiming her residence is a 4 unit dwelling whole it is a 5 unit She wouldn't have gotten the loans if it was a 5 unit dwelling.

Garcia the El Salvadorian already is a proven wife beater. His visa application should he be released would be denied outright. In any case Bukele's jail does not plan to ever release members of those jailed gang members to the society.
3 judge bench of DC Fourth Circuit appeals court composed of Reagan,Obama and Clinton judges have denied Trump's motion to block the return of Garcia. Maybe they can order Delta and Seal Team 6 to forcibly rescue Garcia from the jail, because Bukele is not "releasing a terrorist '.
The US senator who went to Salvador got a chance to sip margaritas with Garcia.

---For the record, here are some of Felon 47's noteworthy business failures---


1. Trump Airlines — Trump borrowed $245 million to purchase Eastern Air Shuttle. He branded it Trump Airlines. He added gold bathroom fixtures. Two years later Trump could not cover the interest payment on his loan and defaulted.
2. Trump Beverages — Although Trump touted his water as "one of the purest natural spring waters bottled in the world," it was simply bottled by a third party. Other beverages, including Trump Fire and Trump Power, seem not to have made it to market. And Trump's American Pale Ale died with a trademark withdrawal.
3. Trump Game — Milton Bradley tried to sell it. As did Hasbro. After investment, the game died and went out of circulation.
4. Trump Casinos — Trump filed for bankruptcy three times on his casinos, namely the Trump Taj Mahal, the Trump Marina and the Trump Plaza in New Jersey and the Trump Casino in Indiana. Trump avoided debt obligations of $3 billion the first time. Then $1.8 billion the second time. And then after reorganizing, shuffling money and assets, and waiting four years, Trump again declared bankruptcy after missing ongoing interest payments on multi-million dollar bonds. He was finally forced to step down as chairman.
5. Trump Magazine — Trump Style and Trump World were renamed Trump Magazine to reap advertising dollars from his name recognition. However, Trump Magazine also went out of business.
6. Trump Mortgage — Trump told CNBC in 2006 that "I think it's a great time to start a mortgage company. … The real-estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come." Then the real estate market collapsed. Trump had hired E.J. Ridings as CEO of Trump Mortgage and boasted that Ridings had been a "top executive of one of Wall Street's most prestigious investment banks." Turned out Ridings had only six months of experience as a stockbroker. Trump Mortgage closed and never paid a $298,274 judgment it owed a former employee, nor the $3,555 it owed in unpaid taxes.
7. Trump Steaks — Trump closed Trump Steaks due to a lack of sales while owing Buckhead Beef $715,000.
8. Trump's Travel Site — GoTrump.com was in business for one year. Failed.
9. Trumpnet — A telephone communication company that abandoned its trademark.
10. Trump Tower Tampa — Trump sold his name to the developers and received $2 million. Then the project went belly-up with only $3,500 left in the company. Condo buyers sued Trump for allegedly misleading them. Trump settled and paid as little as $11,115 to buyers who had lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
11. Trump University or the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative — Trump staged wealth-building seminars costing up to $34,995 for mentorships that would offer students access to Trump's secrets of success. Instructors turned out to be motivational speakers sometimes with criminal records. Lawsuits and criminal investigations abound.
12. Trump Vodka — Business failed due to a lack of sales.
13. Trump Fragrances — Success by Trump, Empire by Trump, and Donald Trump: The Fragrances all failed due to being discontinued, perhaps as a result of few sales.
14. Trump Mattress — Serta stopped offering a Trump-branded mattress, again likely due to slacking sales.
15. Truth Social — This existing Trump business owes big money, and may well be breathing its last.
That's a nice long list of get rich or die trying,you may want to agree with me

Thought you might include these ones .

I think that govts sincerely is not handling this lgbt stuff well hence the public outcry and disdain.

Females have automatically become a protected characteristics which ought not be that way.

For example, in locker rooms to show fairness and Equality, get a locker room for them. They are literally forcing them into women space and we can see most of the repercussions. Anybody can claim anything and automatically lopped with women who they can take advantage of.

You want to participate in sports, do that on with your own and not women.
Just don't crawl on a woman's space. That is what I think that the Supreme Court considered as being unfair.
Another examples, in some unis here, there are so many foreigners and schools will automatically shut down when they stop coming in. Those foreigners might not care about lgbt as long as they don't crowd their space. The moment they start doing that, that is the end of educational tourism which no western govt will want cos the students will stop applying. Schools in the west are open today cos of international students.
It's one thing to push an agenda, then again, think about others while doing that else it's selfishness.
I have no problem with Anybody but don't gag my freedom. That is what they do and it's disgusting.

I didn't make a survey so won't cook up a stat but lots of people are not happy about these things.

It wasn't this wild and endearing until American govt started pushing and forcing countries to embrace that.

Uk has gender recognition act since 2004 and systematically creating awareness for the public but what is happening in America emboldened these guys to start going all out like in America.
The same with Thailand. Though called gay capital of the world and there is no thai drama gay will not be recognised. They created awareness for centuries. Lgbt gained unofficial recognision in Thailand since 14th century and it's only this year same sex marriage was signed into law. Those going to Thailand to marry these past yrs must have thought differently. They must have thought it was elderorado. This was a fight fought for since centuries ago. Majority if not all thai people accepted them before they were officially recognised. The west is literally new in this and they want to run before crawling. And here we are. They have not yet started. Also,thailand didnt force other countries to join them like america is doing.

I studied Thai gay community cos I was fascinated by that when I started watching Thai lakorn. The gay community in Thailand is so different from what we see in the west. So opposite. Uk is even calm and cool but America with their gra gra spoiled everything.
I never have a problem with trans people. They however should keep off female only areas like washrooms, saunas, locker rooms and sports.
There was a trans who impregnated female inmates, not that the women complained but twas plain idiocy allowing guys in female prisons . This is still going on.
There are trans who fail at the men's sports and switch to females easily defeating them. A volleyball player was spiked on the head by a trans, she was diagnosed with neurological impairments such as a concussion, vision problems, partial paralysis to the right side of her body and various "blank spaces" that she'll never remember, as per her statement. She also lost the ability to drive for several months and needed help with schoolwork as she couldn't retain information like before.

How is that not insanity,allowing such cases.
Never forget Democrats are causing chaos about a single MS-13 member sent back to his country .

---Straw poll---which book will you read?---

---A. Art of War---Chinese pilling 800m citizens from being 'peasants' to a manufacturing power-house within 35 years---

---B. The Art of the Deal---by a failed businessman 6 recorded failed businesses over 35 years---including a bankrupting a casino---and through Felon 47 trade tariffs the stock markets have lost over 8 trillion USD in value---
A. Art of war published 9 centuries ago is a recipe for warlords and dictators.

B. Art of the Deal. I have nevè read, I know it's a bragging rights deal, but let's be honest. The writer is a self made billionaire, few can ever accomplish what he has done with his life. 6 failed business out of over 500 is a darn good statistic. You have never failed at anything? Only his casinos have gone bust?

You seem to fantasize about bending over a lot.
Does your wife know?

There is a cadre of women who may disagree with you about noone wanting to be married to me.

They say the eyes are the window to your soul.
Look at this guy who broke into a democrat governor's house and set it on fire.
Nah he is not a white christian supremacist. His face betrays him.

Actually he wanted to blow up the governor because he supports the Palestinian cause and Governor Shapiro is Joo.

He said he would be killed by a RIVAL gang Barrio 18
All known members of that gang and it's rivals are safe in the jail.
Don't know why DOJ is not stressing that point..
There is no imminent danger to his life in his own country.

But Judge Boasberg is going one step further. He wants those who defied his order to turn the planes back mid air be held in contempt. And jailed.
This judge has serious criminal charges that can be lined up against him, he is going for broke. He is like a cornered rat with nothing to lose . He has already found probable cause of members if the Executive defying his order, only a matter of time.
In the meantime, AG Pam Bondi has ruled out Garcia coming back to America. The President of El Salvador said he ain't sending back the terrorist to US soil

House Bill 1526

So basically republicans are trying to pass a bill that stop judges from reigning in Trump when he does something unconstitutional. Effectively telling us the judicial arm no longer exists in their opinion.

Where are those “we have checks and balances” people?
The group that claims Trump can never do whatever he wants because it requires an act of congress.

Come explain how this bill is not him seeking more power for himself and bypassing both congress and the federal judges.
Needs 60 votes in the Senate if I'm right.
Off my head , the Supreme Court ruled against Boasberg that any injuction is tied to a judges jurisdiction. Which meant the gangbanger should have sought relief in Texas not judge shopping in Washington DC.
Off my head too. I believe there is a law that anyone filing suit should deposit a bond Incase the defendant wins after having been forced to incur unnecessary legal expenses.

Anyway since you regurgitate from liberal media , I'll get an alternative view on the pros and cons of this bill and post it here. As always I always get it right and you are reduced to an echo chamber.

I long ago said this was a debate some felt had to be had. To me it felt as ridiculous as humans identifying as dogs, or a 65 year old identifying as an 18 year old, or a person who's never stepped foot in USA lying they were in USA.

That said, my pronouns remain they and their's. If anyone looks up my skirt they'd be slapped.
I wanted to comment in this......
