Opinion Hunter Biden Sold a Painting to One of His Dad’s Donors

[panem-et-circenses]

“Insider reports that Hunter Biden sold a painting to California real-estate investor Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Democratic donor who has given $13,414 to Joe Biden’s reelection campaign this year. In July 2022, President Biden announced that Naftali would be appointed to a position on the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, a government agency dedicated to preserving sites in Europe related to the Holocaust. It’s the type of unpaid role donors are commonly rewarded with, but if Naftali bought Hunter’s painting prior to her appointment, it could constitute a conflict of interest.”

Insider was not able to figure out the name of the buyer who accounted for $875,000 of the $1.3 million in net sales from Biden’s show at the Georges Bergès Gallery in Manhattan.

Didn’t want to bump the other Hunter thread, because the op would need reconfiguring, and most of the posts are about Delaware tax stuff.

His paintings are pretty bad. The magazine linked above describes them as ‘mediocre’, but fails to put it into context. His paintings are mediocre for a young art student. It’s derivative crap that you wouldn’t hang in your vacation home’s guest bathroom. But he raised a decent amount of money with them.

I get overinflation — collectors will buy in the hopes that something crazy will happen to the son of the president — but the people buying kind of makes things smell.

They are so corrupt... no one is surprised anymore. How the rest of D.C. let this shit with the Bidens go on since he was a Senator tells you how corrupt all those assholes are.

$500K... and you can have this hanging in your living room ... ermmm... out house.

Hunter uses that same straw later to snort up the proceeds from that masterpiece.

What would you say if there was a politician that hired their family directly into the government and then those family members used their position in government to broker private deals with competing foreign governments like China and Saudi Arabia?

They also purchase houses for family members and lavish trips…

Prosecute them too dipshit... I give zero fucks about Jared C. Fuck em... Charge him too.

It's a fair question. A lot of people who can see Biden corruption for what it is , seem to be unable to see it with their guy and it's hard to take the anger seriously when it's not real anger about corruption it's just political gotcha.

Yeah but like, where is the vitriol you have for the Bidens for the Trumps? Where is the consistency?

I mean Trump was found liable for charity fraud. He stole money from a charity for cancer and had a self portrait commissioned. He was found liable for $25M in fraud through Trump university, but you guys don't even care and will even vote for him a 3rd time.

Apparently, Joe has likley decided that's all Hunter can handle... Since Hunter fucked up the corruption scheme with Ukraine and Burisma worse than a soup sandwich.

Right , but a lot of people aren't doing that and ignore it or don't believe it when it's about their team ....notice trumps the front runner in the gop and guilty of all the same shit ?

Well, Cushner isn't a complete dumb fuck who left and forgot about a laptop that contains all his corrupt and degenerate behavior over the previous several years.

You are going to derail. You're the same crybaby that loses his shit when people discuss Biden's or Hillary's handling of documents late in a thread that has developed over time. But, here you are derailing a thread on page 1. The mods ought to bitch slap you, but I don't report.

Corruption. Trump's corruption doesn't excuse Biden's corruption.

I'm definitely not going to defend Hunter or Joe, but what the Trumps did was way way worse.

Still, I wish Joe could tell his son to knock it off or else he's not getting any inheritance

Sure. But we still know about the deals and a whole lot of people are choosing not to care. In my autistic mind you can't rage about the Bidens criminal dealings and support the trumps at the same time without being a hypocrite. Maybe that's not you , but let's not insult each other's intelligence and pretend like that isn't going on in our country right now

Corruption. Trump's corruption doesn't excuse Biden's corruption.

That's not the point I'm trying to make obviously.

How can you guys lose your shit over this and then support a family that was more blatantly corrupt before, during, and after office?

I mean Trump actually gave his family jobs in government, lmao.
