When you listen to Giuliani explain what Trump knew and when, listen through the filter of his 1st marriage: Giuliani married his cousin for 14 years then got an annulment from the Catholic Church by claiming he didn’t know she was his cousin.

1. Lol, how could he it was a secret lol

2. I know of someone who in the 1970's who got an annulment of a marriage that had produced five

children. A canon lawyer in the Vatican charged ten thousand dollars for it.

4. This is such a softball that even I will try to get involved...

The Catholic Church gave your someone $10,000 to produce five children?

I know they are really into swelling their ranks, but $10,000 doesn't pay for the first 1-2 months of a newborn's expenses.

5. I'm assuming the annulment cost $10k.

Not the children, lol.

[rzemanfl]

18. The children were way more expensive. Edited my post. n/t

7. I think what the poster above is saying the divorce cost $10,000. Literally, to have

The blessing of the Catholic Church and not be damned to purgatory you had to pay

[pangaia]

10. Damned to purgatory!

Perhaps there is a mostly lost truth in this, as the Catholic church seems to have lost everything.

"Blessed is he who has a soul and blessed he who has none.. But woe unto him who has it in embryo."

16. There's your argument against an in utero embryo or fetus having a soul.

If they do, then if they die before birth they will be crawling around in that embryonic or fetal corporeal form. Now that's gross!

[rzemanfl]

19. Dunno about purgatory. He wanted to remarry in the church. That second marriage didn't last long.

Dunno about sacraments either, I am a third generation heathen.

8. I think the poster meant

that someone who had five children bought an annulment for $10,000.

[Wednesdays]

14. My first read was

that the Catholic church produced five children for $10,000.

[enid602]

25. $1.6mm

That would be a bargain given that Two Scoops appears to have paid $1,600,000 to have just one aborted.

17. Exactly. Not my best writing. Post has been edited. n/t

13. My wife received and annulment with 4 children and the diocese did not ask for a penny.

The process does not make children illegitimate. That is a quasi-legal term. The Catholic Church has a specific definition of what makes a marriage a Sacrament. This is different from what makes one legal. I don't think it happens, but if a marriage that includes children was nullified by the state- then one could argue the children were born out of wedlock- considering that is become a norm, who cares?

3. He found trump more attractive:

9. I'm fresh out of bleach. Luckily your post had a caption, so I wasn't tempted to click.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

12. Need some bleach? Here's some of mine you can use.

How am I ever going to unsee that?

[FailureToCommunicate]

27. Thanks! Most kind of you. I'd actually used up the last of mine the other night after

some already forgotten awful image.

It's hard to keep up.

Gonna have to start getting bleach again... by the 4 gallon packs...at Costco!

29. What I find most curious about this video is that RUMP sexually assaulted Rudy..he just went all

in and didn't even ask ....even in parody RUMP's true colors come out.

[justgamma]

6. Remember when his wife

wouldn't let him move his girlfriend into the Mayor's mansion? He does have his problems.

[George II]

11. Yeah, she all but threw him out because he was sneaking the woman who would become....

....his third wife into Gracie Mansion. Donna Hanover also found him screwing a different woman (not the third wife) in a basement apartment set up in City Hall.

He then announced at a PRESS CONFERENCE that he was divorcing Donna Hanover, never bothered to tell her in advance.

His son Andrew hasn't spoken to him in decades, not sure about his daughter.

15. The worst parti is how it effected the events of 911.

He insisted on having the emergency management center at the WTC ecause it close to his mistress.

[karynnj]

22. Even worse than that - he ignored emergency service people complaining

that the walkie talkies of the police and fire departments were incompatible. (Yes, the later one was supposedly a sweetheart deal - even though they KNEW they then could not communicate. )

This led to the death of firemen, who were still going up in the towers after the police ordered that everyone had to get out as the building would fail.

[karynnj]

21. He didn't notice that their were people on BOTH of their lists as relatives

to invite to the wedding? Even if his parents both came from large families, I would imagine he would know who all his first cousins were - even if he never met them.

[Shrike47]

23. 1st wife was a 2nd cousin. Meh.

Although the claim he didn’t know is pretty ripe.

[Xipe Totec]

24. He's Catholic?!

I thought he belonged to the Church of Mammon.

[Cha]

26. Oh BURN! Bout time rudy gets some

of the blowback he's been dishing out.. only this is true!

[Blue Owl]

28. Don't know about you, but I'm hearing banjos...
