How is Venus visible at all... at night. At night.. it should be on the other side of the earth.... It's orbit is inside our and it should only be on the side of us that is the side that the sun is on.

The short answer: it’s not.
I don’t have time to elaborate, but found a page that answered it quite well. Was very easy to find, too. Surprised you hadn’t seen it, as I’m sure an honest truths seeker like you would try to find the answer himself before asking the question.
How can we see Venus at night?

Have you ever considered why Venus is called the morning star and evening star?
It does stay near the sun, rising somewhat before the sun when it's the morning star, and setting somewhat after the sun when it's the evening star.
At other times, it's too near the sun to be visible at all.
More help.

When a flat earther tries to point out an inconsistency in the globe earth model, they are given a thorough, evidenced, and logical explanation.
When a globe earther tries to point out an inconsistency in the flat earth model, they get:
'You obviously don't understand flat earth theories!'
'We don't know, but your idea isn't any better!'
'That still doesn't prove it's a ball! Show me the curvature!'
Quite a telling pattern.

No, that's quite incorrect. You're not visualising things correctly. The orbit of Venus is not "tied to" the orbit of the Earth. Try this:

Bottom right "not to scale" made me chuckle. Would be a rather large and close Venus.

There were some 1969 Apollo 11 explanations on TV that kept repeating the same "not to scale" phrase.

Or they just ignore you and move to another point.
Do note that Jack never answered the question about how the transit of Mercury works on a flat earth, he just went on and asked a different question.

Well, pretty much nothing works on a flat earth (astronomical phenomena, Southern Hemisphere seasons, air travel, etc.), so of course flat-earthers kind of have to ignore all the "How does X work?" questions.

The phases of Venus (which we can see with a telescope) were of course what Galileo used to prove that Venus orbited the Sun, not the Earth.
