This can't be real, now can it?  

[kadee79]

You beat me to it....OMG....this is fun!  

[happyhoix]

This fits right in with the WH admin who keeps sending out GOP talking points to all the Dems.

All the best people, right?

[Tennesseer]

Pretty soon, Giullani is going to request assistance in getting into the witness protection program too.  

[mollyanna58]

Now, now, many of us have butt dialed.  


Although most of the messages we have left that way are probably not as interesting as Guliani's.

[bean29]

I am kind of suspicious though, that this is intentional. The whole conversation is just speculation and does not really tell us anything definitive, and it says he did it once before and seemed to be aware of it.

Ditto for the Republican Talking Points that were TWICE "accidentaly" sent to the Dems and or reporters.

Honestly, I wish there were a feature on cell phones that you have to do an extra step, maybe enter a code or something, to call certain contacts. If I butt dial my husband, whatever. If I butt dial my boss, embarrassing, but he'd probably find the humor in it. If I butt dial the CEO, I will have to find a new job.

So, what we've learned here is that they're still spying. Butt dialed my ass. 

[bean29]

I occasionally get a butt dial from DH. Drives me nuts b/c he also will put me on "hold" when I call him and just not say anything until he is done dealing with the customer in front of him. Sometimes if I can't get ahold of him, I get paranoid that he was robbed and is not able to answer b/c he is injured/dead. I also rarely call my MIL, but if my phone wants to Butt dial someone it always seems to choose her, and she reacts the same way I think - like if Bean is calling something dire has happened. I see her regularly, but if I need to call her for something, I have DH call her if he is available.

I NEVER FORGET.

I don't see how this harms Guilianni. If legit it shows he believes what he's saying about the Bidens. It soesn't do Joe Biden any favours. He actually comes out of it pretty slimy.

I have to enter a code on my phone to unlock it- or swipe up for the face ID. The key is ensuring I LOCK it before I put it in my pocket.

Looks like they ended up getting fined $500 apiece. 

www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1997/04/26/couple-fined-over-gingrich-call/197c1dc0-798e-43fc-a2f1-20ec2865688e/

I'm thinking there may be a difference between that couple's active usage of a scanner to pick up Gingrich's cell phone frequency, then choosing to record the call, and Giuliani's inadvertently butt-dialing a reporter which goes to voicemail when he doesn't answer.  The article states that it is a federal crime to "intentionally disclose" contents of an intercepted telephone call if a person knows the information had been intercepted.  If this went to court, I'm sure the lawyers would be arguing what exactly constitutes "intercepted".

Regardless, to the layperson, there doesn't appear to be anything damning in the call, though an expert may be able to put some pieces together.  I just find the fact that Guiliani butt-dialed a reporter at such a crucial time for him is incredibly hilarious.

Has Guiliani verified he "butt dialed" anyone? Do we know they weren't just listening in?

So that is the feature that unlocked Giuliani's phone to then allow it to butt dial.

With some phones...you can go into settings & fix so it doesn't turn off unless you physically turn it off or lock it.  Some folks don't do that.  Or like my phone....I can set it to turn off in varying times...like 10 min., 1 hr., 3 hrs., etc.  Someone who uses their phone often may have fixed their settings to suit them and it may not turn off at all.
My son had set mine to stay on for 10 min...it drove me crazy til I finally figured out how to fix it.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Not EVERYTHING is related to some deep impact black hat bullshittery.

If someone was taping into Giuliani's phone, wouldn't he be taping into way more interesting conversations - and then using that stolen conversation to screw over Giuliani and bring down the entire Trump empire? Why would he be blabbing this silliness over the nettubes? 

And what you and Trump call 'spying' was DOJ approved taping of a suspected Russian plant who happened to be BFF's with Trump - Trump should pick his friends better, stop cozying up to the Russian collaborators and all those criminal low lifes like Cohen and Flynn and Manafort  (and soon, most likely, Giuliani) - then he wouldn't accidentally be caught on a call taped for a FISA warrant.

But you know that.

We don't.  We also don't know that this wasn't relayed from the Saucer People who in turn heard it from the Reverse Vampires who are working in conjunction with the Rand Corporation. I guess we'll just have to wait for Guiliani to confirm, given that he is the source of all truth, honest Abe that he is. 



In the meantime, google "Occam's Razor".

Not men. How many men carry their phone in their butt pocket? 
Myself I have chest dialed many people over the years, until I learned to have the phone facing outward from the chest

[countrygirl2]

That's what I was wondering, who carries their phone in their rear pocket.  Hubs is always dialing me and other people, but its in his shirt pocket.

I don't know what Guiliani is doing.  It's a shame, he was once considered a hero, now he is just becoming laughable and likely to end up arrested messing with . Has no one learned? He surrounds himself with low lifes and they end up in jail. So far he hasn't.

Actually many females do, especially the 12 to 25 yr age group. Having not much contact with teenage girls, I can see how you do not realize this. The girls seldom wore tops with pockets so back pocket it was........ Look aroud at the stores when you are there. My granddaughter and her friends still do this and she is 26.

I tend to carry mine in a pants pocket, front or back. I find the weight of the phone uncomfortable when it is my shirt pocket, Also, I tend to carry my reading glasses in my shirt pocket.

All the unintended cell phone calls I have received from male friends, had their cell phones in their back and front pants pockets.

[thyme4change]

I was riding with a friend who had her phone in her purse. We went over a few bumps and her phone called 9-1-1.

[countrygirl2]

Everyone I see has their phones in their hands, when walking, eating, shopping or anything.  They can't seem to put them down. LOL!

If mine is in my hand...I have pulled off the road at a convenient spot, stopped with my cart out of the way in a grocery store or answering DH as I'm going down my shopping list & he can't find me.  Other wise, mine is in my purse when I'm out/about.
And my lists are written on paper so I can mark off each item as I put it in my cart...better to not forget anything that way.

Crossing guard hit by SUV miraculously recovers the same day
October 25, 2019
This crossing guard bounced back after being hit by an SUV. Video shows Deputy Chelsea Cockrell working an elementary school crossing in Lugoff, South Carolina, when a vehicle drives into her. Miraculously, she was released from the hospital later that day. The driver, who admitted he was looking at his phone before the accident, was charged with speeding and texting while driving.

THIS is why I pull off to answer my phone.  I don't have 10 hands & 6 eyes...I'm human, so I get to a safe place FIRST!

[moon/Laura]

I'm over 50, and don't carry a purse, so my phone goes in my back pocket. The screen turns off after 30 seconds and if I can't be bothered to wait that long,I could manually turn it off. Plus, it has a setting for accidental touches while in a dark place. No butt dialling for me, but I do think it's hilarious that Paul automatically goes to "they're spying! "

Incidentally, I put my grocery list on a phone note and just erase items as I get them. That works well for me simply because I always have my phone with me for when I remember that one thing I had on my mind while I was in the shower and forgot about by the time I was done.
