    No, it’s about a ridiculously stupid story about Hunter Biden selling art and being able to know the names (AFTER THEY BUY) of those who bought his art. The story CLEARLY states that it was allowed in the first sale, and then revised for the 2nd and 3rd sales. You cannot prove timelines as to when he said he didn't know the buyers, and when the contract was changed.

    And FTR, this is the most innocuous “lie” i have ever heard of. Your trying to get him in a “lie”, but your focused on the most ridiculous instance. YES Hunter lied, he was a drug addict, and he was a womanizer. The laptop fell apart on you righties, and this is where you are now hanging your hat that he “lied” about knowing who bought his art ?

    I see no political office or affiliations regarding her other than a school board member and they appear to be friends from before, good for her because I personally like the ex-crackhead's art!

    So, I also looked at her qualifications.....she's highly qualified for the appointment. Why would Joe do this for a few thousand bucks....seriously, the allegation using this woman, who was already friends with Hunter, are a reach around bro.

    More importantly - did Joe know about any art purchase at the time he made the appointment?

    It's about time the mods clamped down on the Trump whataboutisms.

    Hunter received 1.3 million for his Art. Since no one involved wants to release the buyer list and a detailed inventory/sale list we have to speculate. You said " a few thousand bucks"... where did you get that information?

    I think there are times when valid comparisons can be made, but not in every thread and all throughout the thread.

    In total (can you link to a breakdown by purchaser?)...how much does one of his pieces average? And, can you say she's not qualified?

    1. Nope, Whitehouse and art place won't release the data. They don't like transparency. It took a whistleblower to get the name of the lady Biden appointment.

    2. What are qualifications for the position? Was she the only qualified candidate? Do you think Quid pro quo only deals with unqualified candidates? What's the relevance between whether you think she's qualified or not?

    3. Where did you get the "few thousand bucks" information?

    What's the average price of his pieces, how many sold? And, if they were friends prior, what's that have to do with the price of tea? In addition, she is highly qualified for the appointment and most importantly, how does this link directly to Ole' Joey? Thanks..

    Joey appoints the positions. Joey appointed her. She bought Hunter's Art. 8 months after Hunter's art sale, she was appointed by Hunter's father. This is what's called quid-pro-quo.

    Again, where did you get a few thousand bucks information?

    I just said that I think there are times when valid comparisons can be made but this thread is about Biden and the art dealer. Just so you know, I didn’t report anyone because I never report anyone.

    Weird. This is you complaining about Trump not being transparent. But now that it's Biden, all you can say is "only idiots believe it".


    Weird, such a strange flip flop on your part. Seems like you only expect transparency with a republican president.

    :)

    The art dealer revealed Kevin Morris purchased most of Hunter Biden’s art for $875,000 in January 2023. However, Kevin Morris only paid Mr. Bergès 40% commission of the $875,000 purchase and Hunter Biden and Kevin Morris figured out the financial implications. Mr. Bergès admitted he has never done an art deal like that before.

    So, a lot of innuendo that only applies to Hunter Biden but you are struggling to link it to Joe even though the woman was (a family friend) fully qualified for her appointment? Hummm, seems like a hyper partisan reach around, if you ask me.

    Joe Biden appointed her to the position. LOL what on earth are you talking about?

    What are the qualifications for that position?

    LOL.

    Also where did you get the few thousand bucks figure? Did you just make it up?

    Exactly..

    https://oversight.house.gov/

    Within two months of Joe Biden becoming President, in February 2021, Ms. Naftali purchased her first piece of Hunter Biden’s artwork for $42,000. Then in July 2022, President Biden announced Ms. Naftali’s appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad – the same commission that Biden family associate, Eric Schwerin, was appointed to during the Obama-Biden Administration. In December 2022, Hirsh Naftali purchased more of Hunter Biden’s art for $52,000.

    Have you researched her professional bio? Google it.

    What the average price of a Hunter painting and how many di he sell before and after Joe becuame POTUS? Surely you can answer those specifics in order to make your point? I've bolded it for you so that you can focus.
