I saw an old friend in wokeville, recently. We sat in a bar, talked & had food & drink, discussing many topics. There were a number of national issues mentioned where he admitted that Trump is doing the right thing but he would always punctuate it with 'but I still hate the guy' to the bar neighbor that somehow joined in. When the bill came I quickly grabbed it & paid it with a single large bill. Are you OK with that my friend asked? In reply, I reminded him about the bet we made on the 2020 election & that I still intended to settle up in 8/2025, if it's not clear by then. (The bet was only for about what I had just paid for his food & drinks.) On that he filled in the bar neighbor with the details. (We made a bet about the election & afterwards he didn't quite get it at first when I told him I don't think Trump lost. In time, though, he seemed to feel hurt, like that I didn't honor the bet so at some point I must have told him that if it's not obvious in N years then I will pay & that day will be in August 2025)
After all that the bar neighbor told me "You played that well"
How are your bets on that going? Even though they are a bit woketarded, I still think it's important to honor the friendship from the way they see it, if it's only money.
Got one to recognize that DOGE is desperately needed and another still won't talk to me.. not much budging on 2020 yet, other than.. yes, there's election problems, on Both sides though! They always throw that in..😂
Yeah my friend was mixed. He certainly agreed about USAID & admitted that something is obviously wrong with Dept of Ed, lol He cited the people who wait in Home depot parking lot looking for work, though, as illegals & feels empathetic to them. I told him that I was more concerned about the children trafficked over the border & there wasn't much he could say to that...
