Let’s admit it: Of all the ways that the son of a U.S. president might cash in on his family connection, we had never thought of having the presidential scion declare himself to be an artist, selling his artwork for sums of five or six figures–and maybe even more.
Yet Hunter Biden, son of you-know-who, has thought of it and is moving fast to snag some big money. A June 14 report in Artnet had the scoop on Hunter’s ambitions and seemed to repay the scoop with a flatteringly aspirational headline: “We Spoke to Hunter Biden About His New Life as a Full-Time Artist, and His Personal Quest for ‘Universal Truth’ Through Painting.”
According to the article, Hunter is planning to sell his paintings through art dealer Georges Bergès, whose eponymous gallery boasts outlets in New York City and Berlin. And the price for each piece of art? According to Artnet, somewhere between $75,000 and $500,000. Nice work if you can get it!
Over the course of his 51 years on earth, Hunter Biden has been known for many things—and Breitbart News has closely chronicled his many errancies—but he’s never been known as an artiste. However, he’s now poised to be nouveaux riche.
In the words of another art dealer, Alex Acevedo: “Anybody who buys [one of Hunter’s paintings] would be guaranteed instant profit.” As Acevedo explained, “He’s the president’s son. Everybody would want a piece of that.” We might pause over those last words, which perhaps get to the heart of the matter: Everybody would want a piece of that.

...talented at grifting, that is..
Pure corruption.
Some of us would call this money laundering.
A drug addict who knew his NG reporting date and failed his drug test. PUNK from an IDIOT FATHER.
Has there ever been a more sleazy first family?
The Bidens sure are giving the Clintons a run for their money.
Deep state needs to give Hunter an infusion of funds so it was either a book deal or ‘art’ that would be used as a cover story. Now some can pay him big bucks and defend it as a personal taste.
How long has the FBI had Hunter’s laptop? Where is the investigation into “10% for the big guy”? When does Joe Biden’s impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors start?
A very long, ancient tradition in the “art” of money laundering.
More recently termed “money for nothing (and the chicks for free)”
Buyer: “How much is that painting?”
Biden: “$50,000...”
Buyer (laughing hysterically): “You call THAT art???”
Biden: My daddy is president...”
Buyer: “I give you $500,000!!!!! Not a penny less!!!!”

To the victors belong the spoils
Double-barreled in-your-face bribe-laundering.
I would respect them more if they just wrote checks for their bribes. Don’t pretend there is value exchanged. The only value will be the influence that is bought.
NO LAWS cover the exchange of funds for paintings. No laws, no reporting. Another Biden scam.
They get away with the blatant stuff because it’s so blatant. If they tried to be subtle, someone might try to trip them up on a little detail here or there. But this? This is just in-your-face. No one would dare call them on it.
