Bingo!

Also, within the context of his statement, knucklehead is a euphemism for liar.

The Democrat is still a jackass.

Because he's not saying the things that you want to hear and that's ok, that's your decision but I couldn't disagree more. I think he is well informed and well spoken. Clearly he has notes and seems to be taking notes throughout. I'm assuming that you, and many others went into watching the debate already anointing JD the winner before a word was spoken because he has the (R) next to his name which is also fine with me. I try to listen to the debates on the policies whether I agree with them or not. I thought both came across as intelligent, passionate and well informed. Both of them may actually be better candidates then their running mates.....

But coming across as "intelligent, passionate, and well-informed" doesn't mean he's not a jackass.

And, don't assume...

I didn't feel that either one was stupid. Did you?

You know I agree with you, but let me tell you where you're wrong... As if the only definition of a jackass is what Google found for you.

Let's just say a person with a (R) behind their name, like @ShawnOL, would say he's a jackass for the extremely progressive laws that passed in the state he was the governor of, laws that I think even you wouldn't support, so why call out Shawn and defend someone like Walz?

IMHO, this emergence was not an emergency

Don't get your panties in a bunch, Pete. Just bashing the opposition as any good republican would do.

Good republican 😳 who? where? Good Democrat 🙄 who? where? Just saying 🤔

Well, of course he's a liar. He's a politician.

When I turned 65 five years ago I could finally go on Medicare for health insurance, which meant I no longer had to stay within Medicaid's income limits - Medicaid (Badgercare, if you're in WI) has much cheaper premiums and co-pays compared to the Marketplaces) but in my case, reported income had to be ~$1200/mo. or less to stay covered by it.
So, having Medicare meant I could start drawing a small pension and start my Social Security benefit. When I went to the SS office they told me I'd be making a mistake by claiming my own benefit; there was a widower's benefit available because my late wife paid into SS over the years. They told me that her benefit was $200/mo. more than mine, and that I could draw her benefit while letting mine grow at 8% until I wanted to switch to my benefit.
And that's what I did today. Since I'll be 70 soon, my benefit has matured about as much as it's going to, so this is the time to switch over. It turns out the increase i not only the 8% but also the COLA, the cost-of-living-adjustment they dole out every year, based on inflation.
Lo and behold, starting next month I'm getting a $730/mo. raise!
I can finally start smoking good cigars!
