Spare a thought for Hunter Biden, the grifter who’s run out of grifts.
In a court filing, Hunter claims he’s “millions of dollars” in debt — so broke he can’t afford to keep pursuing his lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler for putting much of the content of his infamous laptop on the Internet.
Part of Hunter’s woes came from the LA fires torching his rental home, but the far bigger issue is that his income has slowed to a trickle.
Wow: Now that the “big guy” is no longer in the White House, suddenly no one wants to buy Hunter’s art.
Buyers used to line up to shell out tens of thousands on Hunter Biden originals; Democratic donor Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali reportedly bought $42,000 worth in 2021 before Joe appointed her to a spot on the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022.
Buyers were supposed to be kept anonymous to avoid blatant pay-to-play, but Hunter’s own art dealer testified that the first son knew who bought up to 70% of his pieces.
It sure seems like that was the entire point, and the buyers knew it, since according to Hunter’s court filings, he sold 27 pieces at an average cost of about $54,000 (so reasonably priced!) in “the 2 to 3 years prior to December 2023” but only one piece since.
Odd: What changed in 2024 that might have tanked the sales of these glorious examples of artistic genius?

Was Hunter the artist dude who duct taped a banana to a canvas? Now that was art!
Well Hunter. Sounds like the time is ripe for you to repent and ask Jesus Christ to save you.
Don’t forget his military experience!
I think he should try a career as a standup comedian or host a late night tv show. They could bring in Rachel Madcow to be the “straight man!”
Just spitballing here (not arguing with you), but do you remember the scene in "Pacific Heights" where the skeevy grifter portrayed by Michael Keaton flashes a wad of $100 bills when "closing the deal" for his rental?
I think it went something like that.
If I recall correctly, the landlord is at least an acquaintance and maybe a "buddy," so there may have been the "understanding" that - well, you know...
