Oh, Geez: Hunter Biden Sat on the Amtrak Board And His One Qualification Is Pathetic
Townhall ^ | October 15, 2019 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 09/30/2020 3:05:50 PM PDT by ConservativeInPA

We know that Hunter Biden sat on the board for Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, despite having no natural gas experience. He was being paid $50,000 a month for his "contributions" to the board (whatever those may be) while his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, was handling affairs with Ukraine on behalf of the Obama administration.

We know that MBNA, a Delaware-based banking company, hired Hunter straight out of law school. Then-Sen. Biden had received campaign contributions from the company during previous elections and was even working on a bill MBNA backed.

Now, it turns out that Hunter received a position on Amtrak's board of directors in 2006. His qualification? He rode trains...a lot.

biden doesn’t have to talk about the fake Trump tax scandal because the msm is doing it for him

But if Trump doesn’t mention hunter no one knows about it.

Then biden gets to say he took the upper hand by not bringing personal things like taxes into the debate...

and the msm can beat up on Trump for mentioning hunter

Even fox is going left faster than i thought lately

While he was boinking his brother’s wife, he managed to knock up a stripper at the same time, then proceeded to NOT pay child support l, leading to the stripper taking him to court.

Hunter was paid $1 million a year by Burisma.

That means he got a check for $83,333.33 every month.

He also finagled a similar payment from Burisma for his ‘Investment partner”....

The reference to $50,000 a month is way short...$400,000 a year difference.

Didn’t Joe say that his son is a recovered SOB and he’s now proud of him? LOL....good grief... Imagine if Trump had a son that had the rap sheet of Hunter and all the quid pro quo jobs/graft???

Actually, Trump took Slow Joe apart over Hunter Biden receiving $3.5 million from the wife of the mayor of Moscow, plus the vast amounts from Bourisma and China.
All Slow Noe could do was mutter “not true”, which Trump ignored and kept taunting Joe Dementia over how Hunter got to receive so much money while his daddy as VP.

Hunter is like any father's nightmare. Unless the father is Slow Joe. Then of course he is “proud of him”.
It's no surprise Hunter is so screwed up. There is total lack of accountability for any of his crimes. His daddy simply sets him up with one cushy high paying job or another.
Very nice to get a gig as board member of a company you know nothing about, have no qualifications for and get paid a million bucks a year for essentially doing nothing but boink strippers and snort cocaine.

I have a life,but I walked into the first minutes of the fake debate as Biden made me vomit explaining his POS a-hole son.

OMG-—time to check the connections between Bidens and whomever selected Hunter for this position.

I’ve ridden the trains a lot, too, so I should be well qualified for this type of position.

Unbelievable!!

...any father’s nightmare.
_______________________________________________

The one human human moment in the debate was when Joe, looking small and frail, but straight-backed, stepped a bit away from the lectern to describe his first-born, Beau.

His heart was actually visible. He loved that boy.

Trump picked up on that and lowered his voice, looking at Joe as a person, a father. Trump was gentle when he said he didn’t know anything about Beau, but Hunter....he went on to list the known facts, voice still lowered.

Then Joe added the ‘proud’ comment. He’s not proud. Beau was the favorite. Hunter was the after thought, but Joe was honor-bound to defend Hunter as much as possible and supposedly kicking a drug (I doubt) was all he could muster.

My take-away was not only did I understand a root cause of Hunter’s personality, but everyone saw Trump turn thoughtful and could see he was both puzzled and touched.

I think I'll ask Gennesee & Wyoming (a railroad holding company) if I can be on their Board of Directors since my experience is my model railroad layout...😀
