10 Ender Points to the first person finding a Republican elected official or party/campaign operative denying Trump committed federal crimes. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 20:37 27
- So calling it "a phony indictment" doesn't count? Or calling it a hoax? I don't understand your standard here. -- nm - mara 🍂 Jun 9, 04:46 3
  - I don't think "phony indictment" counts, but I'll accept "hoax". -- nm - Ender Jun 9, 17:50
  - of course it does. But according to Ender's rules, I guess when Proud Boys flash the 'ok' symbol for photos it doesnt really mean anything. - Jovian Jun 9, 06:48
  - Honestly I don’t think there’s another reasonable parsing of “witch hunt” -- nm - mafic Jun 9, 05:03
- #1 -- (link) - Jovian Jun 8, 22:17 1
  - Which sentence there denies he committed a crime? -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 22:24
- *(excluding Never-trumpers) -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 22:01

  - I'll allow it. 10 Points. -- nm - Ender Jun 9, 17:49
  - Or “bogus charges” or “phony boxes hoax” -- (link) - Dano Jun 8, 21:55 1
    - just because they call it a Witch Hunt none of them have admitted he’s actually a witch -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 22:00
- there's a lot of "he's done nothing wrong" in the MAGA set. I don't know if that clears your hurdle. I don't think anyone explicitly denies that he - mafic Jun 8, 21:26 1
  - no Ender Points for you -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 21:31
- living? -- nm - Alexis Jun 8, 20:51 3

    - sorry. Even Nixon thinks he's guilty -- nm - Alexis Jun 8, 21:37 1
      - Not being president anymore kinda ruins the "its legal if a president does it" argument -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 21:49

  - Which part of that denies he did it? -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 21:06 1
    - lol. i really thought i'd gotten those Ender Points this time too -- nm* - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 21:09
  - honestly this reads more like when my students complain that "jimmy has his cell phone out too!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 20:47 4
    - strong homer the vigilante vibes. -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 21:16
    - That seems to be all of them. Nobody denies he did it, even Trump, they just think you shouldn't indict him because... reasons. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 21:08 2
      - Which is, arguably, worse. (NM) -- nm - Marlowe Jun 8, 21:13 1

Dear Frontier, why the f*ck can't you fly anywhere decent? - znufrii Jun 8, 20:34 2
- We fly to Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, Florida, and Denver. -- nm - Frontier Jun 8, 20:39 1
  - I'd like to consider PR, but it'd probably be in October and J isn't thrilled about the idea of going there during hurricane season. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 8, 20:42

- I've finally learned how to correctly spell "Zaporizhzhia" - prayformojo 🐵 Jun 8, 20:18 6
  - technically there are several correct spellings depending on what transliteration system you want to use. like "Zaporizhzhya" is probs also fine. -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 21:52
  - I don't know why I'd want to... -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 20:32
  - I definitely still can't -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 8, 20:30 1

Remember the Maple! -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 8, 20:15 15
- I'm sure people are mostly memeing but we realize these fires are in Way The Fuck Nowhere and not easy to reach, yes? -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 20:18 14
  - somewhat unsurprisingly I've been there! probably the hardest site visit I've done in terms of access. flight to Montreal, flight to Chibougamau, - mafic Jun 8, 20:50 5
    - I would imagine some of those places are way out in the bogs you can only drive to when it freezes over aka Ice Road Truckers -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 20:56 1
      - it's still like the southern third of the province. there are decent roads to population centres, but all the firefighting will be aircraft-supported. - mafic Jun 8, 21:09
    - What hockey team do they follow in Chibougamau? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 8, 20:55 2
      - oh my sweet summer child. -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 21:02 1
        
        If you just would have said Les Habs, I could have said "see pixie, no one likes the Leafs" - but you had to blow it -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 8, 21:18
  - Nope. What I've heard is there are multiple fires but the worst one(s) are in Quebec. No idea where other than that so I didn't know how rural it was. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 20:22 7
    - They're in a region the size of Nevada that has 15000 people in it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 20:35 2
      - So not a world class fire department? Maybe they all have strong garden hoses? - Krusty Jun 8, 20:48 1
        
        maybe? they'll defend the population centres and infrastructure and waterbomb the hell out of it, but a lot of it probs just burns for a while. -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 20:54
    - Then you probably shouldn't have paid all those college students to plant trees there... -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 20:31 3
      - (That's mostly BC) -- nm* - Reagen Jun 8, 20:32 2
        
        And seemingly not lately -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 21:09
        
        That's not the impression I've gotten from Barenaked Ladies songs... -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 20:38
