Oh wtf, this one got me.

Is this just a "happy wife, happy life" variation?

No, it's more like "if Larry gets a 10% grade reduction for turning his paper in a day late to you, then I shouldn't be getting this 20% grade reduction for turning this paper in a day late to you." It's more of a call for things to be fair and give everybody equal treatment.

There was a recent court decision regarding Donald Trump that, more or less, appointing a special counsel for the purposes of DOJ impartiality is not constitutionally acceptable. As a result, Hunter Biden, who was investigated and prosecuted via special counsel in order to maintain impartiality from the DOJ since his father is the sitting president, essentially argued that "what's good for the goose is good for the gander." Meaning that if Donald Trump should have his case dismissed under the pretext of special counsel being an invalid idea, then so too should Hunter Biden. That decision was already generally seen as fucking silly, but the silliness was put on full display for partisan hacks and their audience.
