Many people are talking about the weaponization of the government after more action was taken against former President Donald Trump this week. He was booked in the Georgia election case and came away with an epic mugshot. Contrary to what the left hoped they would do with that shot, they created an iconic image that Trump is now using for fundraising and to stand against weaponization. He came back to Twitter, posting the mugshot, in a defiant post. 

But there's another aspect to the weaponization of the government in addition to moving against political opponents, There's also the flip side that many think is going on here, as well -- the distortion of the rule of law to protect your side. 

In the wake of what was happening to Trump in Georgia, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) pointed out in his typical cutting fashion the "privilege" enjoyed by Hunter Biden. 

Kennedy said that "HunterGate is about two things -- privilege and sleaze." Kennedy noted how Biden and "many members of the media" lecture people incessantly about the "injustice of privilege."  But that's like "being lectured about gun safety by Alec Baldwin," he said. Kennedy said Hunter Biden is the "epitome of privilege." 

How did Hunter Biden earn all those millions of dollars? Kennedy asked. It wasn't because he's so smart, as Kennedy noted, since he turned over his laptop with "incriminating information" on it to a stranger. "How smart is it to try to deduct your hookers on your federal income tax?" Kennedy inquired. Did the Ukrainian and Chinese companies want to hire Hunter because of "his resume on Zip Recruiter?" Kennedy asked. "No, it was his daddy. It was always about his daddy."

Kennedy then moved on to his second point, saying that if you had "any sort of a moral compass," the sleaze has to make you "want to gag."  They want to sell you this story about Joe Biden, just a "family man" who calls "six out of his seven grandchildren every day" and just happens to call into Hunter's business meetings because he's such a swell daddy to talk about the weather. 

"The evidence.... is clarion clear," Kennedy said, that Joe Biden was "well aware" of what his son was doing, and he "aggressively enabled it." 

Kennedy said that this can mean "justice," if the House is allowed to get the truth i.e. the government and Bidens turning over records and/or witnesses testifying. "In no universe is this right, I don't care how you pretty it up," Kennedy proclaimed. 

That sums it up quite well, and Americans get it. They see the spin, but they know that's what it is. You don't have 20 shell companies and multiple false names to talk about the weather. I think that's part of the reason the American public is so angry at Joe Biden right now. Not just because he's such a failure at his alleged job, but because he's also such a hypocrite on exactly this point. He's making everything harder on the rest of us with "Bidenomics," meanwhile, he helped to make his family rich off of his position.
