Who gets the money? “Da Big Guy” Jo Jo for the Biden Crime Family slush fund or Hunter Xiden the artist to buy more “paint” for his finger paintings?

A lot was not reported in this article and the commenters make assumptions and jump to conclusions. The painting was never owned by the U.S. Government; it was on loan to the White House by a private collector since the Nixon years. In 2015, the private collector sold the painting to the founders of Fastenal (Winona, Minnesota) who loaned it to a local museum there. The current private owners are selling the painting now through an auction at Christie’s. Hence, it was neither Obama or Biden who decided to sell the painting.
from a comment at the article.

Why is the painting no longer in the White House? Did Obama not approve?
To: Cecily
The picture will be replaced by a blow up of ‘Biden and the Easter Bunny’...

I clicked the link to read about who owned the painting, but that info was left out.
Still was worth the dumpster dive into DM for the comments section:
“10 percent for the Big Guy”
(Okay, what FReeper from TX posted that?)

Thank you for the information. I read the article before I posted, but not the comments.

10%. He doesn’t want to be greedy.

That’s the People’s Painting. Who authorized this?
To: Cecily
Let’s not get too excited here. My sources at the White House tell me that Jill Biden simply wants to replace that old picture with an updated one.
After all, that’s just how banana republics operate.

Glad it’s out of Joek’s grasp. He’d have charged a $2M “dismounting and transfer fee.”
