11. If I could afford it, there are a few conversations I'd like to have.

I'd hire a moderator and we would each have 10 minutes to present our viewpoint.

Supporting material would have to be printed, but the actual content of conversations would be, what do YOU think/believe and generically, "Why?"

I know one thing he told me is totally debunked but I could not "prove it" to him at the time.
There were allegations that BLM DESTROYED the face of the Lincoln Monument. It was a hoax.
But the LIVE CAMs in the park were off line in that area for some reason.
Because I wanted to pull up the park CAM that faces the Lincoln Monument at that moment and show it was in tact.
I'd read the article and there WAS defacement that happened at the Lincoln Monument and it probably WAS BLM.
BUT it was a painted sentence about 50 feet away from the actual monument on some stairs or a cement planter.
I can't remember exactly.

So we would fly to DC and I would show him both locations and have some expert verify or get him an allowance to closely inspect the statue.

I would show him the park where BLM protestors were hit with tear gas and manhandled when they were completely peacefully protesting. Some even kneeling on the ground. And walk him from there to the Church where tRUMP stood and held up the Bible to show his support for Christian Nationalism. I would ask him how many times has tRUMP gone to church since 2015?
How many times has he gone to the tomb of the unknown soldier or called to thank military men and women for being away from their families? I would have those numbers at hand. Then I would ask him how many times does he think Biden has done those things. And I would have those numbers too.


Then I would tell him the names of the people whose children were murdered that MTG has been slandering/harassing; and fly him to go meet with them so he could ask them himself.


IF I were rich enough to have those conversations with him and have a moderator so I can listen to whatever he wants to tell me in return, with neither of us giving rebuttal at that time. MUST be done as a written reply so we have time to think it over, look up the facts and present it calmly.

Possibly someone the size of Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson so it's a bit of a bouncer/moderator role.


BUT these are pipe dreams.
