Go for it. Bet you can't do it without insulting someone.For the first part you know Jordan is right because it is the exact application of the law.
I would never take that bet, I would run out of money quickly

All I can say is I could not disagree more with just about everything you say. Maybe the one thing we can agree on is that not one politician is going to fix the problems. We are a representative democracy meaning we elect people that represent us and make laws. Without a democracy there will be no we the people. It would be their (authoritarian or dictator) way or the highway. I will never understand why people can't see that. You must believe that we the people are too stupid to elect the right people. The fact is we do not always get it right. Politicians are humans and they make mistakes. Some are just plain bad to the core. You think Biden is that. I think trump is that. How did we get here? I assume it is the bias in the media, the outright lying to the people and the abuse of power where checks and balances no longer work. That is where the republicans are right now. I am sorry about that because I use to be all republican all the time. I will never go back to voting republican in my life time unless a miracle comes along. I prefer a 3rd party to be very honest. I have really lost patience with the left and right stuff. If we do not find a middle and have moderate behaviors we are going to lose our quality of life...At least we can agree on politicians
You keep saying democracy and every single democracy through history ends in what you fear (authoritarian or dictator), thats why I hate the word democracy.
We are definitely too stupid to elect the right people, look how you dumb you thought our guy was and look how dumb we with your guy is
The real question is how are these 2 our choices, its shows a glitch in the system somewhere
I don't know who the best democrat would be to run the country but I have a few favorites on the GOP side
If it weren't for his age Dr Sowell would be my first choice, Ben Carson is up there, I like Ben Shapiro's knowledge but he might have too much edge, I would love to see Tulsi Gabbard run for our side, I like Vivek Ramaswamy but he needs more time first, I love Candace Owens but she is too polarizing. I like Desantis but he is cracking under the weight that doesn't really exist, in my opinion he should sit this one out but I think he's the only one that can knock Trump out and there becomes a lesser of 2 evils thing going on.
Just my opinion

The context of Trumps ad was that this stuff is bad under biden, that's the context. The irony is that it was piks from Trumps tenure and your side should relish in the hypocrisy of that
I appreciate your help, I studied athletics in school and never really paid attention to that stuff
You clearly don't understand the words context or hypocrisy.

My dad never met a stranger but he was hard on me. Very stubborn man. I don't think he liked me very much. My mother the same way. It was like you say kind of a sin to be friends with you kids. I did not like their methods of raising kids. They seriously provided very little emotional support and very little physical support. They beat the hell out of us. Insulted the hell out of us. I tell you this because I know we humans can be better than the previous generation. In your case I am not so sureThats how you raised men back in the day. Would you say that method raised more men that were ready to handle the world or is todays 'my kid is my best friends method' better? I believe in the old school

So when and where? Be a part of the solutionWhat solution? I have a few friends and family just like you. Every conversation ends up in fight of who is right. My ideals of common ground and civil behavior is sadly just a fantasy. Your group is too far gone. If I can't connect to people that are my own blood and friends that use to have each others back then there is little hope. Once you go down the path of "will fight to the end for my principles" there is just no return to any desire to find common ground. Maybe two years ago I had the time and energy to try and convince you that life is too short to live and die for foolish principles but I have seen and heard just about enough of the BS. I have argued with Poppaj about this very thing. He was right. I was wrong. It is a very unfortunate reality for America. We are divided and there is NO solution! We will fight and our quality of life will deteriorate for all of us...

If you still favor Trump and his kind at this point, it is because you have zero judgement, or simply hate liberal ideals, which include education, liberty and equality. If you only care about yourself then you must try to change, or you will continue to suffer, and so will your fellow countrymen. Strive to be better.

I have serious doubts this lifelong lying POS is telling the truth, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let this be the one time he is speaking the truth.

At least we can agree on politiciansWe will always have politicians. We the people are the checks and balances on politicians. That all goes away when we no longer can vote or the vote is manipulated enough to change the will of the people. When politicians lie we need to remove them from office. When politicians become so filled with hatred then they need to be removed from office. When politicians abuse power we need to remove them from office. Trump was removed from office because of democracy. Trump lied and still lies so our job as Americans of course is to keep him from power. Trump abuses power so our job as Americans is to keep him from power. You hate many things like people for example. You hate the word democracy only because of ignorance and the extremism coming from the conservative party. We do need more choices. We do need to educate our children. We need to protect our children. That is America's future!!! That should be our common ground but it is not only because your ignorance of what a representative democracy is. We have something special in America and you are choosing to throw it all away on a leader like trump or desantis. Why? Because you hate and you fear people...

Strive to be better.James good meeting you and thanks for the judgement, personally I try to get to know someone beforehand but thats just me. I do not hate any person I have a heavy distain for weak men because I feel it is mens duty to provide and protect those that they care about. So based on your comment I have no judgement. Its not that I don't car about others as much as I just want to leave everyone alone and I want to be left alone. Saying liberals have the inside track on education, liberty, and equality is laughable but you are entitled to your opinion. As far as suffering what do you mean?

Because you hate and you fear people...What kind of grade would you give 'we the people' on checking and balancing our polotiicans? Once in they learn how to milk the system, ever looked up mst of their attendence to the profession they vote to give themselves raises on? How is it that so many go in with an average net worth and leave with an insanely high net worth?
You cannot post a single comment without bringing up Trump. You act like Trump has been there for 50 years, you may want to talk to someone about this infatuation.
Lets go another way on trying to get you to stop using the word democracy. What does democracy mean? Are you sure this is the system you want to get behind? I doubt you'll answer because you have been brainwashed with the term, once you look into it we will see who is ignorant. My knowing the meaning of the word has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with history and mans manipulation of power.
You ,ay also want to look up the word fear

We will fight and our quality of life will deteriorate for all of us...Then why keep commenting about finding common ground if you don't believe in it?
We are closing in on a very real crossroads in our country
The reason I would like to have lunch or meat you is because that way when we comment on here it doesn't just regress into us just being gay and calling each others names. For the record when I say gay it has nothing to do with anyones sexual preference, I want everyone to be happy.
If 2 old men like you and I can't find common ground there is no hope for America as it was intended.
Do you really think we disagree on much at all? Or do you think we see issues from different angles? At our core I think everyone in this world wants the same stuff, for example
Do you love your kids?
Do you love our country?
Do you hate anyone?
Do you want to be healthy?
Do you want our populace educated?
At our core we are the same but the government that you want to be bigger and the government I want to be torn down and reset to its original intention is the issue
Why are we so divided? Because people won't sit down and talk, I have extended the olive branch. Your lunch with someone you don't agree with doesn't have to be with me but it needs to be with somebody
