HART: Show Trials And Faux Trials

Even after the faux trial of Trump, Biden’s favorability numbers are dropping faster than Hunter Biden’s art prices will when Joe loses the presidency. Turns out most Americans see through the use of government to go after political adversaries. Enough!

A Gallup poll recently found that 77 percent of Americans are “very dissatisfied” with the way things are going. The other 23 percent responded “no hablo ingles.”

Joe Biden’s approval rating has slipped to 37 percent, prompting some party officials to think about replacing him on the ticket. Perhaps with P. Diddy and Hunter Biden, who always put the party first. 

With Trump’s numbers rising despite his conviction and sexploits, perhaps the Dems are running the wrong Biden. 

Trump’s NYC trial was ultimately about his company deducting $130,000. 

Contrast that to Jill Biden, who flew back from France for the day on a government jet to intimidate the Delaware jurors in the Hunter Biden trial (another trial that need not have happened; and I take no pleasure in Hunter’s conviction).

The estimated cost of her flying to Delaware, then right back to France? $345,000. For such an environmentally conscious Democrat Party, this seems tone deaf. Just for those keeping score at home, $345,000 of mostly taxpayer money, versus maybe $13,000 of maybe missed NY state tax revenue. 

During that trip to France, Jill, Joe and Emmanuel Macron commemorated the anniversary of D-Day by visiting the country’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In his remarks, Joe Biden said he knew the guy. 

We are now $34 trillion in debt, but that doesn’t seem to have convinced our leaders to allocate the country’s resources more responsibly. Our corporate media had no problem with Jill’s $345,000 flight. They probably thought she was paying respect to France by way of an homage to Marie Antoninette.

Flying back for Hunter’s trial was the worst request a first lady brought to a president since Mary Todd Lincoln asked Abraham Lincoln, “Would it kill you to take me to the theater some time?”

Dems no longer understand the average American. Dolly Parton’s theme park is far outpacing the growth of the woke Disney parks now. Dolly even has her own brand of wine. It only comes in extra large jugs. 

Lawfare needs to end. I have not flipped over my calendar yet for June, but I’m sure jury selection begins any day now in Trump’s federal trial for failing to rewind a VHS tape when he returned it to the Queens Blockbuster in 2002.

Hunter did not get on the stand for fear of revealing the real Biden family crimes under oath. In the courtroom were plenty of other Bidens, some say to intimidate the jury. I say they all stay together so no one breaks loose and goes to the feds to cut a deal for themself. 

They are the Fredos and Capones of Delaware, and should be called The Untouchables. The Hunter case — which came about only after the DOJ ran out the statute of limitation on bigger charges and clandestinely struck a failed universal immunity deal — was a try at jury nullification. Like O.J. got. But no dice. 

With all Trump’s foibles laid bare, the media almost never talks about Joe Biden and his similar issues: the Tara Reade sexual assault claims, the true timeline of Joe Biden dating Jill when she was his babysitter while married, Joe showering with his young daughter, and Hunter having an affair with his brother’s wife. 

At least it will not cost taxpayers much to imprison Hunter Biden. He can have his family and conjugal visits at the same time.
