It looks like the prodigal son is a painter now. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s child, has apparently been dabbling with paints for years. Now his hobby has turned serious: starting soon, you can pick up one of his colourful creations from a gallery in New York’s SoHo. It will cost you, though: the pieces are reportedly priced between $75,000 and $500,000.
Who parts with that much cash for the work of a new, not exactly critically acclaimed, painter? We may never know. Hunter’s new career raises obvious ethical issues for his father and, in an attempt to avoid accusations of influence peddling, the Biden administration has asked the gallerist to keep all information about the buyers and prices of Hunter’s work confidential…
Weirdly, however, while the situation has raised a few eyebrows in the mainstream media, liberals haven’t been as outraged about the situation as one might expect. If Donald Trump Jr had been flogging art for oversized amounts while his dad was in office, I reckon the liberal reaction might be rather different…
… And if you really think that Hunter’s paintings earned their price tag on artistic merit alone, then I have an overpriced painting of a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

As a bribe, and everybody knows it.
Because it’s a good way to bribe “the big guy.”

Maybe there is a country they want overrun.
They’re not paying for a piece of garbage painting, they’re paying for access to “the big guy”. But this is penny ante compared to the Clinton’s pay to play setup.
It’s a bribe, or a payment for access to the “big guy”.

I know! I know! Pick me!
To launder money.
It is a bribe to get something from the Imbecile in the White House
Maybe he painted with his (member).
“big guy”. That all ended yesterday! He’s no hat and no cattle.
Am I the first to point out - this is from the Guardian, whose coverage of all Democrat politicos usually involves a pair of kneepads and a bottle of mouthwash...
Wonder if PIAPS has started collecting for Haiti again.
Chelsea probably ought to be needing a new dress or something.
Duh.
Just a version of payola.
Lots of strokes then..?
Exactly. Now Hunter can spend some of that Chinese and Ukrainian cash that he has stashed away.
Because if you scratch off the paint and grind it up, you’ll double your money in saleable coke?
How I LOATHE these degenerates who have access to OUR Government and profit from it!
A POX on all their houses! *SPIT*
Wonder how many paintings that Afghan leader had to buy to be allowed to bug out with four carloads of cash?
