   This was a weird thought after Mark Meadows made a deal that I turned into a poll. I am pretty sure that Donald Trump would sacrifice his codefendants without a thought. I think it probably has not come up yet, but I bet his team will offer (and get rebuffed) before the end of the trial.

     It's weird how many people felt the need to clarify that prosecutors would not accept such a deal. I mean, of course. You and I know that; it's not clear to me that the Trump legal team or Trump himself knows that.

     @evan You don't have to honour this deal, Evan. Mark can't turn you into a poll no matter what his title is.

     @suetanvil I mean, there has to be some kind of communications to that effect coming through lawyers and so on. "If we stick together, we can all get through this." I wonder if they can do it with a straight face.

     @spacehobo whatever you do, please don't change your original reply to something that makes saying "I added commas" sound ridiculous.

     @evan I just grew a beard so I could tug at it in frustration! Shucks, I say!

     @evan when I answered your poll (using the Ivory app), I clicked on the third answer that was something like “the prosecutors would never accept”, but the poll suddenly changed the third answer to “no, he would never betray his team”, which isn’t what I think! Maybe other people clicked that third answer like I did and then felt the need to give the answer that they really wanted

     @dpatriarche yes, I changed it after you voted. I believe Mastodon does not count your vote on it.

     @evan perhaps. The reason I mentioned @ivory is that the app does show that my vote was counted against the modified third response. My guess is the order of operations was: Ivory displayed for me the poll with initial response set, you modified response 3 text, I clicked on response 3 (which still appeared to me as the original text), Ivory register my response on the new response 3.
