"Find me" can be a totally legitimate phrase.   Like when a sales manager says "find me $1M more in revenue by the end of the quarter."  In context everyone knows that the sales manager means "bust your ass to close deals" not, "enter a bunch of fake purchase orders."  Maybe the context will prove that Trump was directly asking for votes to be fabricated.  But if votes were still trickling in from various districts, and Trump can argue that he meant, "leave no stone unturned in your search for legitimate votes," then his choice of words becomes innocuous.   

Of course context is everything, and you've studied the evidence so far more than I have.   I'm just saying that this particular phrase (which gets a lot of press) does not seem so hard to explain away for Trump's lawyers.   It is not like Trump said, "Go print me 11,780 votes."  Also, the State's burden of proof is substantial.

I'm not actually defending Trump here or in the other thread by the way.   I am trying to be objective.  I do fear that in all of the cases except Mar-a-Lago the state has grossly overplayed it's hand, and I am going to be way pissed if it leads to Trumps election.

 It is YOUR party of garbage individuals, the Jew hating leftists like Tlaib, AOC, Ilhan Omar (whom you still defend), Ayanna Presley, Pramila Jayapal, and the other scumbags who side with Hamas over Israel, so why are you surprised that they openly show their hatred of Israel and of Jews in general? 

The NY Times was the major paper that just last week lied about the bombing of a Hospital in Gaza, happy to blame the IDF for the bombing when it was the terrorists who killed the Gazans at that hospital.  

And what was Your response?  Just the other day, You gave them a pass, and You excused it.  I won't excuse any of their lies any longer.  

The Paper of Record is the paper of lies and bullshit.  

You defend the NY Times, not me.  The NY Times paper of record are the ones who hid the truth about the Holocaust going on at the time it was occurring, and buried the stories on the back pages of their Newspaper, and only admitted it when a number of authors wrote books about it and documented their cover up of the horrendous event.

It was Your NY Times Paper of Record who sent their correspondent Arthur Durante to the Soviet Union, who then covered up the Holodomor that was occurring in the Ukraine in the early 1930s, whereby Stalin systematically starved well over 10 Million human beings and he reported on it and lied about it, and the NY Times printed their lies.  

It always seems to happen under leftists doesn't it now.  Not at all shocking because we've seen it occur time and time again with leftists murdering entire swaths of human beings and then lying about it.  

And Your side of the political aisle either ignores it or covers for these fiends of humanity.

1. Beats the heck out a futile vote on "MAGA Mike."  
2. Beats the heck out of MAGA Mike winning the speakership and locking the government down much as Rod predicts.
3. It would be a splendid FU to Gaetz and the MAGA morons who caused this problem.
4. I think the public would love it.

It will never happen because the Ds would rather make apt "clown car" jokes and generally mock the Rs than they would like to govern.  Who can blame them.   It will also never happen because Gaetz and his ilk have the votes to block a moderate speaker without D participation.

So the political parties in the "peoples house" once again screw the people.  Jim
