That is, of course, unless you're Joe Biden. Biden is a lifelong politician, but he’s also a Democrat, and Liberals like Biden only wish they could sit on a fence. Instead, they always find themselves on the wrong side of any fence they come across, whether it is literal or figurative.
For instance, Charles and Heather Maude are 5th-generation ranchers in South Dakota who the Biden administration was trying to put in prison for up to 10 years for a fence built by their families a century ago.
The obvious question here is: What crime did the Maudes commit that was so serious that Biden was not only eager but anxious to imprison this hard-working couple and take away their family ranch?
It seems that the Maudes' ranch abuts the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands, and one of their fences extends into the national park.
The area has been disputed for decades. Buffalo Gap was designated a national park in 1960, long after the Maude families had relocated there.
As one neighbor stated:
“The fence that was there had been there since the 1950s. They didn't just move the fence yesterday.”
To try and settle the dispute, the Maudes agreed to survey the property.
When the survey revealed that the fence extended into public lands, the Biden administration did not take the sensible approach of grandfathering the structure in, which is typically done in such situations. They also didn’t request that the Maudes move it.
Fortunately, the Trump administration has remedied the situation. Trump knows all too well about the corruption of lawfare and ended this ridiculous persecution over 25 acres of grasslands.
