BREAKING NEWS: Republicans are quietly directing a new attack at President Joe Biden, claiming he suffers from dissociative identity disorder. Biden has multiple personalities.
Republicans have for months been pushing the message that Biden is a confused octogenarian with “good intentions but a fragile memory,” in the unfounded words of a Republican special counsel who was cleared of criminal wrongdoing for possessing several classified documents.
Then the Republicans flipped the script: Biden is a criminal mastermind!
They say this political superman has successfully “weaponized” the justice system. Biden has convened a “camouflage trial” – or, even worse, a Stalinist show trial! He has carried out “the worst false accusation in the history of our nation” by having a jury convict Donald Trump of 34 felonies ahead of the 2024 elections.
“I grew up in Miami and heard about the show trials of Castro in Cuba,” lamented politically flexible Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida in defense of Trump. “In my worst nightmares, I never thought something like that could happen in America. But it did.” (Again, Rubio said in 2016, “A lot of people will have to explain and justify how they fell into the trap of supporting Donald Trump.”)
How did Biden do it? Did he get state grand juries, jurors and judges to do his bidding? We'll leave it to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the wrestler-turned-congressional-fighter who chairs the House Select Subcommittee on Federal Weaponization, to answer that question. Rep. Jordan has called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Bragg's lead prosecutor in the Trump trial to testify under oath next Thursday. Never mind that they are New York state officials, not cogs in the Biden-controlled federal government.
But wait, this supposed commander in chief of the armed government has transformed yet again. His new persona is Biden the Failure.
Republicans would have us believe that the President concocted a “fake” case to convict Trump, but Biden failed to stop “his” Justice Department from putting his own son on trial. Hunter Biden is currently in court facing three criminal charges for lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm in 2018.
Then there are the kinds of prosecutions that only partisan bunglers, not nefarious masterminds, could have allowed: This week, the Justice Department is trying Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey, on corruption charges, and last month it indicted another Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, on bribery charges involving foreign interests.
Biden, it seems, has created a Frankenstein's monster out of the nation's top law enforcement agency, one that is attacking not only his own party but his own family.
Republicans, Fox News and the rest of the MAGA media are gleeful about the Hunter Biden trial, but of course they don't acknowledge that it contradicts their ridiculous “two-tiered justice” drivel.
The Hunter investigation began six years ago at the Trump Justice Department (without Joe Biden lamenting about the “weaponization of justice”). When his father became president, he retained a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor to investigate his son, Republican David Weiss. When Hunter's plea deal on gun and tax charges fell apart in July (it was voided by a Trump-appointed judge), President Biden's attorney general granted Weiss' request to be special prosecutor. Thus, Weiss can sue his son in any federal court. He's to blame for picking Bidenland, Delaware, and Democratic Louisiana.
There is nothing in Hunter Biden's humiliating legal predicament that suggests a stacking of odds by mastermind Joe Biden, and as Biden himself says, God love him for respecting the rule of law, even with his only surviving son.
