Partisan Hypocrisy And A Two-Tiered Justice System

The news cycle has been dominated by the potential prison time that Former President Trump may face for removing documents from the White House and storing them at his home in Mar-A-Lago. Democrats are frothing at the mouth to hold him accountable and put him in prison. Republicans by and large are defending him tooth and nail against these accusations. 

Simultaneously, Hunter Biden is facing federal tax and illegal firearms charges but has agreed to a plea deal that will result in zero prison time. Republicans are outraged to see that Hunter will not receive any prison time or be charged with a felony in a case where he didn’t pay millions of dollars in taxes on money he received from China and Ukraine as well as illegally acquiring a gun while being addicted to drugs, which is a felony. And this isn’t the first time the Biden administration has seemingly run cover for Hunter. 

Former intel officials and social media companies provided cover for Hunter’s laptop by manufacturing that it was Russian disinformation.  Democrats and the media hopped on board the narrative, a narrative that was confirmed to be completely false. The laptop was real and Hunter really was so high that he left it at a computer repair shop and forgot about it. 

Then Presidential nominee Joe Biden got on stage in a debate against Donald Trump, whom Democrats refer to as a serial liar, and lied straight to the face of the American people using this false intel. Democrats don’t care that Joe Biden lied to their face because he’s not Donald Trump and his lies are ‘less harmful and destructive’. 

To Democrats, their party can do no wrong but Republicans are circling like wolves and threatening investigations to put Hunter behind bars. I think we all agree that people should be held accountable.  But we often blur our morality when the cause does not fit our own narratives. We should not forget that it was a little over 20 years ago that George W. Bush lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction and dragged us into an endless war without any consequence other than a short-term hit to his reputation.  This resulted in the deaths of thousands of American citizens and innocent bystanders in the Middle East. 

George W. Bush’s reputation was quickly repaired when fellow drone striker Barack Obama welcomed him with open arms and mutual hatred of Donald Trump making strange bedfellows. Simply put, it is a farce that any of these people in power can actually face any real consequence. Whether Republican or Democrat, they are the elites and Donald Trump is not fighting for you, he is fighting for Donald Trump. 

The elephant in the room conservatives want to ignore is the possible corruption of those close to President Trump as well. President Trump engaged in nepotism, the likes of which have not been seen in modern history. He appointed family members to advisory positions. Specifically, he appointed his son-in-law Jared Kushner to top positions and foreign policy negotiating tables when he had zero government experience. 

Republicans would be outraged if a Democrat put their child’s spouse in charge of something so critical to national security. Kushner also showed unwavering support to the Saudis during his time working in the Trump administration. 

Coincidentally, after Trump left office, Kushner’s newly formed firm was rewarded with a large sum of money to the tune of 2 billion dollars by a Saudi private equity firm. Similarly, Donald Trump and his children own significant business interests in China. A patent of his daughter Ivanka was approved in China mere days before his inauguration. Many of her products shipped from China.  Maybe it was just a coincidence that Trump exempted clothing from his trade tariffs on China. 

Is there evidence that any of this was the result of corruption? I haven’t seen any but we all know that Republicans would be calling for investigations into Jared and Ivanka just like they’ve called for investigations into Hunter if there was a (D) next to their names. All of these antics are one big puppet show for us to watch, lulling us into the illusion that our team is just and our team is virtuous while the other is full of evil power-hungry monsters. 

Rest assured, average people like you and I would not face zero consequences. We would be held accountable and likely headed to prison. Todd and Julie Chrisley, former reality TV stars, as well as their accountant were sentenced last year to many years in prison for tax fraud. Meanwhile, the rapper Kodak Black was sentenced to three years in prison for falsifying forms to purchase weapons before President Trump pardoned him. 

Legal “experts”, the kind of “experts” we trusted to lead us through the COVID-19 pandemic are pumping out statements full of legalese and jumping through hoops to explain why Hunter is less deserving of jail time for his felony crimes. In this case, we have a rich white couple and a rich black musician that were going to be held accountable for their crimes but not the rich son of an American President. 

In the months leading up to the 2020 Presidential Race, Kamala Harris, in an interview about race in America said “we do have two systems of Justice” depending on whether you are black or white in the United States. A cursory view of the Democratic platform itself demonstrates the lens through which modern-day Democrats view this country. They see power as a function of skin color and an intersection of all your other attributes, placing you in a certain position on the power scale or as I and many others call it, the oppression Olympics. 

This is all legerdemain. Kamala Harris is a person of color herself and is one of the most powerful people in government, and whether we like it or not, one heartbeat away from being President. She and democrats alike spent years hurling false accusations against Brett Kavanagh as well as accusing former President Trump of being an agent of Russia. 

Similarly, in the wake of this plea deal for Hunter Biden, James Comer (R) head of the House Oversight Committee stated “Let’s be clear: The Department of Justice’s charges against President Biden’s son Hunter reveals a two-tiered system of justice.” 

It seems that Kamala Harris and James Comer agree on one thing, that there is a two-tiered system of justice. The truth is that politicians and their lackeys are never held accountable for their dishonesty to the American Public. They get rich off insider trading while the rest of us suffer at the hands of crippling inflation and the crippling of the American dream. The real two-tiered system of justice is between the elites and the rest of us.

As the great George Carlin used to say, “it’s one big club, and you ain’t in it.”
