    Ok

    hold on...

    Ok I'm back

    And you have what exactly to refute him other than your knee jerk personal suppositions and conjecture?

    What exactly is it going to take for you to FINALLY realize how corrupt the entire family is when it comes to the political influence of The Big Guy who claimed to know NOTHING NADA ZIP about any Biden family business. Is that claim still operable?

    Yes which goes to show this wasn't about art.

    Are you denying his art was roundly panned? Are you assertng the aet critics agreed they were worth tens of thousands of dollars?
    And the buyers were free to send Hunter a message informing him. It was a sham and don't ask inane questions.

    Again, their is literally nothing there and you know it. Lets all use some common sense. If the right actually had any evidence that Joe was corrupt, they would have impeached him and you know it. But they dont, so they wont. Joes Taxes have been public for over 30 years, the only time he made any money was when he wrote his books, and when Jill wrote hers.

    We all know that Trump made money as president, and we also know he and his kids cant have a charity anymore in the atste of New York because they stile from there, and are now barred for life from havign a charity in NY state. But somehow its a real stretch for the right to think Trump could be even a little bit crooked ?

    You rigthies are so hell bent on Hunter Biden because he made some money, yet Jared and Ivanka LITERALLY got a BILLION $$$ from a foreign government within weeks of their official visit as members of the official Trump administration. You want Hunter, go ahead and take him down. I dont care because I hate ALL corruption, not just whos corruption

    Without proof, it matters not what we believe.

    So you actually believe his "works of art" are legitimately Worth to a half a million dollars ?

    Pretty sure genuine Picasso's have sold for less and he was an actual real artist.

    You guys are willing to believe plenty of things about Trump without proof. Pretty cute how we require evidence now.

    Do you have any theory for why they were dishonest about not knowing who the buyer was?

    Do you think people blatantly lie to you for no reason at all?

    How the eff would you know?

    You righties keep poking at Hunter, the proverbial low-hanging fruit, and you keep coming up empty.

    Again ... :deadhorse:

    The Biden “brand” has been sold for years…. Hunter just simply rubs in our face… A drug analysis on the “ toot” straws he uses would be interesting.

    I have no idea what Hunter's art was worth, nor do I care. I see no crime here. And if I got outraged every time a politician told a lie, I'd have had a stroke years ago.

    See #134. This is another piece of bee ess that the right is using in their vain effort to make Biden look bad, because deep down, they know what a vile creature their hero, Trump, has always been. It isn't working.

    Sadly there are many people who have this odd need to be outraged about something. It’s proven daily on this forum.

    Art is what the buyer is willing to pay.

    Serious question. If a president is able to profit of business while in office, why isn't a private citizen allowed to?

    It's constant projection with them. They are whining about inflated values yet there was a former POTUS who sold pieces of his suit for 5k a piece.

    They called him a genius for working the market.

    The people who bought them, let's charge him and the judge can decide how much they are worth.

    A law against selling things for more than they’re worth? lol and y’all call us communists??
    No such law exists. I’m sure you could get Bernie to propose it though.

    Depends on who is the buyer and the quality of the art does it not?


    Depends on the business in which they are engaged and the person engaged in it with them doesn't it? Business can be legal and legit or it can be a cover for illegal activity with all sorts of red flags attached as is the case HERE with overvalued worthless "art" as a means to transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Biden family.

    I ain't stupid and don't pretend to be.

    Nothing low about the family of the President flaunting the law and getting away with it especially when it involves peddling political influence, why do you keep trying to marginalize it?

    What is dead about the impeachment hearings are turning up new evidence everyday and participants are starting to talk having had enough.

    Is art not legitimate? It's not like he is selling scraps of a cut up business suit for 4k a pop like a certain someone.

    Are any of the buyers so far foreign diplomats? Any connections to the Chinese?

    It depends. Having an established business first and later becoming a politician while the business still makes money is not wrong in my book and plenty of politicians do it. Then there's being a life long politician and donors buy things from your family that they probably never would have purchased if you werent' a politician is a bit different.
