What about his discharge from the Navy reserve? Would that also be a lie to the question about dishonorable discharge?

No. He didn't receive a dishonorable discharge, he received a general discharge or more likely a less than honorable discharge. He would have had to have been actually court martialed to receive a dishonorable.

School me please. Would any of the above qualify as a Big Chicken Dinner?

Nope, although a BCD is similar to a dishonorable. There are 5 types of discharge 3 administrative and 2 judicial. Honorable, general, and less than honorable are administrative and no court martial is required. Dishonorable and BCD are judicial and require a court martial, from my understanding a BCD would be misdemeanor level in the civilian world and Dishonorable would be felony. The only one that prevents legal firearm ownership would be dishonorable. About the only exception that I can think of would be if you got a BCD for domestic battery.

We're gonna tax the rich.

Ummm

"Taxing the rich" is code for "We're transferring wealth from the poor to the rich."

You can't tax the rich in practice. The rich didn't get rich by not knowing how to manage money.
Maybe an extra sales tax for yachts and hypercars... Wouldn't amount any real additional income though.

I might change that to "middle class", instead of "poor".

Middle class pays the taxes that the poor receive in benefits, so I guess that's accurate.

They tried the “luxury” tax on private aircraft in the 1980s. About all that it generated were layoffs in Wichita (Beechcraft, Cessna, Learjet), Vero Beach (Piper) and Kerrville (Mooney).

I've said that you should always follow the money. That's going to be a really big job next few years.

This clown always makes me a bit uncomfortable when he starts talking about erecting things.

Especially since the Federal Reserve will be printing so much of it.

Hunter Biden literally smoked cheese.

He also probably thinks he will run for president some day.

He's at least more functional than Joe.

Right - but he will have to wait for senility to set in before running.
