The Trump trial in New York perfectly encapsulates Joe Biden's America.
An invented crime. Prosecuted by a political operative of Joe Biden's choosing. In front of a judge whose family is profiting off of it. In front of a jury picked in a city that famously hates Trump.
Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan, who donated to Biden, is threatening to jail Trump.

For stating Merchan’s daughter is raising millions from this unprecedented criminal trial.

And, to top it off, a gag order meant to shut the president up. The judge has stolen the president's First Amendment right (as if rights mean anything to this crowd) on pain of incarceration.
NEW: President Trump just posted this video on Truth Social, blasting corrupt judge Juan Merchan and his unconstitutional gag order. pic.twitter.com/G6vITqzyd7

Everything about this trial screams corruption of the highest order. The prosecutor worked for the Democratic National Committee as a political consultant, which would be the biggest story of the decade if Trump were doing this to Biden or Hillary Clinton.
But in Biden's America, the rule of law is done. Gone. Dead. And if you speak about it, at least if you are Donald Trump, you can go to jail.
What a sham.

Ex-top Biden DOJ official now prosecuting Trump was once paid by DNC for 'political consulting'https://t.co/Rma6nmpdjj
It used to be that we would get frustrated at the hypocrisy of our political opponents, but now I long for the days when Democrats were just hypocrites. They, and the entire Establishment, are budding tyrants testing the limits of what they can get away with. These days, they look to Xi Jinping as a political consultant.
I would say Putin, but no media figure has been tossed out a window here yet, so that would be an exaggeration.
The legal system is the hammer that the Democrats use, but they can't jail everyone who dissents.
They can, and they are determined to, put a gag order on every one of us through censorship. The censorship apparatus is in place, often used, and being expanded every day.
FBI agents hassled an Oklahoma woman over her Facebook posts.

We live in a country now where all day, every day, the FBI is showing up at people's doors. To intimidate people for what they say. Can you imagine being on the receiving end of a visit from multiple FBI agents to ask about your Facebook posts?
That is Joe Biden's America. And it will get worse and worse if Biden stays in office.
Here at HotAir and Townhall Media, we see this up close and personal all the time, mostly through Big Tech censorship. The way it works is pretty simple: the federal government shoves some money at an NGO to rate "reliability" of news sources, those NGOs label leftists reliable and conservatives (and moderates sometimes) "unreliable" or "unsafe," and then Big Tech takes those ratings to downgrade the search for and monetization of the "unsafe" sites.
Just one example: one of these ratings sites lists RealClearPolitics as a spreader of disinformation, but Huffington Post as reliable.
You can't make this up.
As you can guess, getting downrated and demonetized has a huge impact on the business operations of any news source the feds and the left don't like, and that is the point. Funnel all the money to the MSM and the left and bankrupt the right.
That's why we keep imploring our readers who haven't signed up for VIP memberships to do so. Our operations depend on our subscribers because the most lucrative advertising is steered away from us. No major corporation is going to put themselves in the crosshairs. They see what the Biden administration does to people who buck them.
Ask Elon Musk about that. As soon as he bucked the speech police, he became public enemy #2 after Donald Trump. Musk revels in that, but no corporate CEO at a Fortune 500 company wants anything to do with offending this president. It is a threat to their business and perhaps even their freedom.
We need YOUR help to stay in the game.
So, once again, I am asking you to chip in a few bucks a month to keep HotAir and Townhall Media publishing. Your VIP membership is quite literally what makes our work possible.
