After all, that’s just how banana republics operate.
Is Joe keeping the proceeds?
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.
Why is the painting no longer in the White House? Did Obama not approve?
The picture will be replaced by a blow up of ‘Biden and the Easter Bunny’...
WHY sell something like that?
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?)
That’s the People’s Painting. Who authorized this?
After all, that’s just how banana republics operate.
10 percent for the Big Guy.
Hope Musk or another high roller buys it and puts it back in the White House when Trump is inaugurated...next to Churchill’s bust.
You know we could pay down the national debt by selling a bunch of things America doesn’t really need. We could start with the White House. Wonder what Elon Musk would pay for something like that?
‘Rare’? I guess so.. I bet there’s only one of them
And ten percent for the Big Guy!
The Unelected Ron Klein Regime gets rid of more Americana and US history. All part of his strategy to get rid of America entirely.
Not a big deal.
Next, they’ll melt down the Churchill sculpture for its scrap value.
Anything traditional that can’t be explicitly cast as woke must go.
Joe Biden will next sell the White House and Hunter will be the Real Estate Broker handling the deal.
What?
Just how did an historical painting form the WH become available for sale? No word on that in the article.
Did Obama have a garage sale in 2014?
It is not an accurate depiction anyway. An account form my family was that Washington was wearing riding boots and wrapped in a blanket. He and the boat operator were the only ones on the boat.
