Jill Biden's 3,600-mile round trip from France to Delaware to spend two days at Hunter's trial could cost up to $345,000... and taxpayers could be on the hook for a huge bill

Taxpayers will pick up the majority of cost for Jill Biden's whirlwind flights between Wilmington, Delaware, and France so she could be at son Hunter's side during his federal gun trial although the Democratic Party will chip in some funds.

The first lady racked up $345,400 in flight costs, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation estimated, as she boomeranged between the United States and France last week, traveling separately from husband Joe Biden so she could support her family at home while also representing the United States abroad.

Her political party will repay the government for what it would cost for her to fly commercially with taxpayers footing the rest of the bill.

Anyone remember when Barack and Michael Obama decided to have a date night and took Air Force One to Chicago to eat pizza?

She’s very concerned about the stepson who texted her:

“And you do know the drunkest I’ve ever been is still smarter than you could ever even comprehend and you’re a shut [sic] grammar teacher that wouldn’t survive one class in a ivy graduate program,” Hunter said in the text.

“So go f–k yourself Jill let’s all agree I don’t like you anymore than you like me.”

Shut up and pay up while he and all the other hypocrites live it up.

And we don’t even get any cake to eat.

It was personal travel.

The very wealthy Biden crime family should pay.

3,600 miles is one-way. The round trip is 7,200 miles.

She wants to protect Joe.

Stop the fire right there. She has no love for Hunter and Hunter calls her an “entitled cun+”

Nope. That was a personnel matter and the Biden’s should have paid for the trip.

Now, let’s do the politicians who went to visit Trump at court. Thoughts?

For anyone who still wonders why they’re keeping that stinking, corrupt, decrepit mannikin propped up in office, here you are. It isn’t that the royal treatment goes away when he leaves the White House to the fumigators, it’s that they’ll have to foot the bill themselves. Sure, they could afford it. No, they don’t intend to.

Here is the Hunter Biden argument that nobody wants to make:

For decades, the left has been pushing for tough gun control laws.

Here is a case, plain as day, of a gun control law that was enacted -- keeping guns away from drug addicts -- and what is the left doing?

They want to nullify the law!!! They want to ignore the gun control law because it's Hunter Biden who got trapped by it.

This should tell us all everything we need to know about the seriousness of the left when it comes to regulating guns. It's only those on the right whom they want to keep guns from, the left gets a pass from their own gun laws.

It's GOOD to be the Swamp Queen.

Could you imagine the fulminating by our Media if Melania had done something like this [I know - unlikely, because the Trump family isn't a crime syndicate like the Biden Family Syndicate]?

Of course we will.

We can’t expect our betters to use their OWN money to solve their problems.
