    You were already told that they refuse to release the data, twice now. We only got the quid-pro-quo due to a whistle blower. You said she paid a few thousand, any evidence to support that claim? I've bolded this so you can finally answer where you got the data from.

    Facts that are known:

    Hirsh Naftali bought Hunter Biden Art, spending a total of 94,000$.

    Joe Biden Appointed Hirsh Naftali, 8 months after Hunter's first art sale


    Thanks to popscott he provided this

    What's the average price of a Hunter painting based on the number of painting he has sold? That's a simple question that you can't answer but are alleging bribery of Hunter? Nothing to do with Ole' Joey.

    YOU CAN DO THE MATH GIVEN YOUR "SOURCES"! :)

    We don't need the average anymore. Thanks to Popscott, he found the actual price.

    Hirsh Nafali spent a total of $94,000 dollars on Hunter's art. Joe Biden appointed her 8 months after Hunter's first Art sale. Not that the price is relevant in anyway, but there it is for you. 94,000$!!! to put things in perspective, the average household earns an income of 74,000 per year!

    Well, you kept whining about a "couple of thousand" like it was some got ya moment but now you are moving on since you CAN do the average math....as for pop's "sources", yeah OK??!! Now, I've also noticed you have moved on from whether the woman is highly qualified...you know she is. So, what's the bee in your bonnet that 's causing that need to reach for what's still not there....Joe's involvement?

    I think a Previous President that sold his own art work is a valid comparison on what is normal, but guess some do not - but I will just leave it there, not much to talk about in this topic if we can't compare to others doing the same in the past

    I didnt think you did. Apologies if that was not clear.

    We can agree/disagree, but you've always been a good debater, its not personal

    It's been confirmed Biden appointed her Quid pro quo or is it an assumption you're making?

    1. Hunter host art sale
    2. She buys Hunter art , totalling 94,000.
    3. 8 months after hunter's first art sale, joe appoints her.

    What do you think here?

    It's common to appoint donors to unpaid positions on committees.

    For something more nefarious, you have to prove Joe knew she bought the art and had an arrangement of a quid pro quo.

    Ah finally getting to the meat & Potato's of the discussion. Let's just assume everything as I stated is accurate, and joe has knowledge of it. Is that even illegal? Sure, it looks questionable. But at the root of it, is it illegal? I don't know the answer to that question. I'm sure it takes place in different forms whether its a painting, dinner, etc...

    It's not illegal unless there is a concrete arrangement in place. It's fairly common for donors (she is political donor) to receive unpaid positions on these committees.

    I also think this happens behind the scenes ALL THE TIME. Whether its a painting, college admission, job shadow, internship, stay at a vacation house, etc...I mean there is a reason that presidents go into the job making 400,000k a year and come out multi multi millionaires.

    How many pieces did she buy and were they already friends? Thanks, because, I actually really like his art.

    Who cares? Irrelevant if she bought 1, 10000, or 70 billion pieces. I've seen worse, this one is quite nice:

    I care, Hunter's art is bad ass! Guaranteed to appreciate in value as an investment!

    That I don't dispute, assuming you can get an original.

    Nice colors with a good pop. That's one I would hang in a sunny room, like a dining room connected to kitchen or a bright bathroom.

    LOL, and I can guarantee that no aspiring young artist will ever study Hunter Biden's "art" in their Art History classes. :D
