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.

$500,000 is cheap price to pay if it gets you a federal contract worth $50 million.
And hey, you can always donate it later and get a tax deduction.
Bribery to Traitorjoe and money laundering are two reasons.
If it is valuable art, the answer is yes. If it is a bribe, the answer is no.
Because $50K goes to Biden
Hey...he IS after all, the “smartest guy Joe Biden knows”!
Only $500,000? I’ll offer $650,000.
Oh wait. Cancel that.
I just got ahead of myself. He’s such an important new skyrocket in the art world that I just couldn’t help it. The new Rembrandt. A master./s
If the IC ever wants to throw Biden under the bus they can just indict Hunter for his long list of crimes that are public knowledge.
Same thing as getting a multi-million dollar book deal except you get to cut out the middleman.
The works of Hunter Biden look mighty curiously similar to those of Ralph Steadman.
To help launder money
People wanting access to Joe. Great way to launder money, especially when the Biden’s refuse to disclose who the buyers are.
Humper is useful now, but after demented joe is removed, he won’t have the same access to willie brown’s punch.
Because he’s a wonderful artist, the best since iRembrandt
Good point. None of these “works of art” will ever be seen on the market again. Because there will be no market for them.
This is the way the Chinese and Russians roll.
Myou don’t think that stoner thought this up himself?
List laptops cost a lot. $500 k for funzies-
Throw in that shithole country Afghanistan while you are at it.
Look at all those Taliban mokes sitting around in the Presidents office. They were told to go sit there. They look as surprised as anyone. This was handed to them. Why is that?
Why Watson, I believe you are onto something!
