Adams. I already spend enough time smoking my pipes with Jefferson, Franklin, Washington and Lincoln (I actually have two Jefferson's).
John Adams or Thomas Jefferson

And who might I ask do you have shoved in the trunk? Andrew Jackson?
Andrew Jackson was 6' 1", he didn't fit in the trunk. It's James Madison (5'4").
neither. You'd spend the whole time explaining everything. "no that man isn't insane! He really is talking to someone on that little box. Nope not a witch either. And worst part if either of them finds out the way people have enshrined the constitution and treat it like a religious artifact not a legal document. Well they'd start sounding like that devo post. Seriously they'd be gone from history, they'd be like what the hell is wrong with us give a fuck about future people. It would be a mess is what I am saying.
Funny thing about Andrew Jackson is everyone thought he partied too hardy because of his performance at his inauguration but actually his drunkenness that evening was due to the fact that he seldom drank and had low tolerance. Not that it has anything to do with who or what is in your trunk, I just wanted to show off some obscure fact I learned from my many minutes of research on Wikipedia.
I would have to go with Adams. Jefferson was a pretty complicated man with many ideas. Not sure you could get anything accomplished in an afternoon with him.
Like a religious artifact??? It's treated more like toilet paper.
If I could bring one of the Founders back to hang out with it would probably be Thomas Paine. And it would most definitely not be at a Starbucks!
Jefferson was an incredibly wide-ranging intellect attached to a profoundly spoiled child.
Mso, Ken Burns needs to start including you in his documentaries. You would add some insightful and poignant commentary.
I wouldn’t know. Generally I’ve read that with many leaders, their “unplugged” state is very banal.
Both! I’d like to be a fly on the wall listening to them go at each other!
Well, they mostly made up at the end of their lives to such an extent that they had a 14 year correspondence and both died within a few minutes of each other on the 4th of July!
I guess one should consider the state of John Adam's teeth if they were to meet him. A mask mandate might be a welcome thing under such a scenario.
