    I only know a few teachers, but none of them own stocks or bonds. Did he never own real estate? Or did he sell his home after moving into the governors mansion.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Over $300,000 for his home. Sold when he moved. He owns none now.

      And...I covered school districts in nine parishes. I had multiple clients that owned mutual funds, varying from target date funds, sector funds and index funds, among others.

            Don't think Trump lied about his military service.

            Walz did.

                    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-draft-deferments-asthma/

                    Biden received five draft deferments on account of his studies, and after a physical exam in 1968, was disqualified from military service except in the event of a national emergency because of having asthma as a teenager. He never served in the military.

                    And this:

                    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/making-splash-joe-biden-returns-lifeguard-chair-n776951

                    As a teenager in the summer of 1962, former Vice President Joe Biden worked as a lifeguard at what was known as the Prices Run swimming pool in Wilmington, Delaware.

                    And this:

                    https://www.thedp.com/article/2020/08/joe-biden-penn-athletics-football-archmere-2020-election-delaware

                    “As much as I lacked confidence in my ability to communicate verbally, I always had confidence in my athletic ability,” Biden wrote in his memoir, "Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics." “Sports were as natural to me as speaking was unnatural. And sports turned out to be my ticket to acceptance — and more. I wasn’t easily intimidated in a game, so even when I stuttered, I was always the kid who said, ‘Give me the ball.’”

                    Unfit for military duty, but fit enough to be a lifeguard and play football.

                              I can see one arguing that “Captain Asthma” is just as bad as “Cadet Bone Spur,” but no worse. If someone has a coherent argument for why “Captain Asthma” is somehow worse than “Cadet Bone Spur,” I’d like to hear it.

                                I never said it was worse. I implied it's equivalent.

                                Yet, you never addressed the issue of Biden's deferment(s) until today, AFAIK.

                                I have no clue, but I would guess they're equivalent. @jolly would know more than I do.

                                Again, I don't know. But you have to be a good, strong swimmer, right? You have to be able to hold your breath, and swim while breathing. You have to be strong enough to pull someone out of the water. That's a tall order for someone whose asthma is bad enough to get them out of military service.

                                  Again, I don't know. But you have to be a good, strong swimmer, right? You have to be able to hold your breath, and swim while breathing. You have to be strong enough to pull someone out of the water. That's a tall order for someone whose asthma is bad enough to get them out of military service.

                                  Asthma fucks you up when you swim or play football in all but the very lightest of cases.

                                    I can see one arguing that “Captain Asthma” is just as bad as “Cadet Bone Spur,” but no worse

                                    I never said it was worse. I implied it's equivalent.

                                    Yet, you never addressed the issue of Biden's deferment(s) until today, AFAIK.

                                    is the typical high school/collegiate football training physically tougher than, say, military boot camp?

                                    I have no clue, but I would guess they're equivalent. @jolly would know more than I do.

                                    I didn’t know if you were referring to Biden at the time, but I addressed “asthma” in the context of military deferment and playing football and working as a lifeguard.

                                        Outstanding. So if you have asthma, you can play football, be a lifeguard but you're not fit for military service because of your health.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
