We already know that the United States has a two-tier justice system, where if you are rich enough, powerful enough and Democrat enough, you can get away with anything.
If you're a poor, powerless Republican, good luck out there!
The very same people who spent the entirety of the Black Lives Matter saga lecturing us on the fundamental unfairness at the center of American law enforcement are now handing Joe Biden his latest "get out of jail free" card, pinning it to his favorite sweater to make sure he doesn't forget where it is.
After a Special Counsel report acknowledged what we've known for years — that Biden kept secret and classified documents after leaving office, stacked in boxes in his garage — because he's old and can't remember where he is.
Sure, Biden keeping classified documents next to the paper towels and spare wheelchair parts in the garage presented "serious risks to national security," according to Special Counsel Robert Hur. But charges won't be filed. Why? Because the president could portray himself as an "elderly man with a poor memory."
"Could"?!
"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen," the report said.
What makes this particular dementia-addled scandal even more absurd is that Biden immediately held a press conference to prove how not-fine his brain has become, and referred to the Egyptian president as Mexican...
Here's the thing: Setting aside the absurd and shameless corruption at the heart of the justice system where, if your name is Clinton or Biden, you can get away with quite literally anything, Biden has to pick a lane.
- Either he's an elderly man with such a poor memory that he's unfit to stand trial, in which case why is he President of the United States?!
- Or, he's not an "elderly man with a poor memory," in which case why isn't he being charged with a crime?!
If you're too old to stand trial, maybe (just maybe) you're too old to hold any responsibility beyond deciding between cherry and lime jello?
