Hunter Biden Knew Exactly Who Was Buying His "Art" -- Putting Lie to the Claim That He Didn't Know His "Patrons," and Therefore Could Not Deliver Political Favors to His Donors
Hunter Taunts Congress
Surprise! Everything Hunter Biden and his corrupt rapist father tell you are lies.
Biden's Handlers had assure the public that Hunter's "art" sales (to politically-interested patrons) could not possibly result in political favoritism, because they were setting up a Special Secret System to keep the buyers anonymous. If Hunter and Joe Biden didn't even know who the buyers were, they couldn't deliver favors to them, right? Unless the buyers just told them they bought the "art" and how much money they gave Hunter through the "sale," of course. But don't worry about that last part, because the "art" dealer never bothered setting up this Special Secret System anyway, and apparently Biden's Handlers never pursued the scheme they claimed they were implementing.Hunter Biden's Manhattan art dealer said Tuesday that he never worked with the White House on an ethics pact to ensure buyers would remain anonymous -- and added that the top purchasers were known to the first son, contrary to prior claims from President Biden's aides. Georges Berges also revealed that in addition to the lack of supposed anti-corruption safeguards he actually met and spoke on the phone with the president while repping his son, the House Oversight Committee said in a readout of a closed-door deposition.I'm sure they just talked about the weather. That's the go-to lie when Biden chats up Hunter's "business associates," right?
Oh, the Sugar Brother who "loaned" Hunter $2 million to pay the taxes he was avoiding then ponied up almost another million for Hunter's "artworks"? If I didn't know better, I'd say that deep-pocketed Democrats seeking and receiving favors from Biden and his handlers are just bribing Joe Biden by handing huge sums of money to the talentless, worthless crackhead Hunter Biden, thereby paying for his legal bills and keeping him from having to sell his body as the ugliest, smelliest gay prostitute in DC.
The art dealer testified that Hunter, 53, knew who bought about 70% of his art -- including Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, who obtained works by the first son both before and after scoring a prestigious presidential appointment.
... The high-stakes testimony came as the Oversight Committee spearheads an impeachment inquiry into whether the elder Biden was corruptly involved with his son and brother James's foreign ventures while vice president. Hirsh Naftali, who scored repeated visits to the White House during the timeframe in question, inked a $42,000 sale in February 2021, before her appointment that July by Joe Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, and then another for $52,000 in December 2022. Berges also confirmed that the first son was aware that Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, who met Hunter at a political fundraiser in December 2019 before bankrolling his tax payments and living expenses, was his top patron, buying $875,000 worth of art in a January 2023 deal.
More at the link. Hunter Biden basically begged the House to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to place him under arrest by showing up for the hearing where the House Oversight Committee was debating contempt charges against him, while continuing to flout their subpoenas:
Manu RajuThe people without balls are the House Republicans. They have the power to instruct the Sergeant of Arms of the House to arrest people who defy their subpoenas. At least, that's what I read in college, in an essay which was, admittedly, a polemic. (The author insisted that the House could put Nixon into jail if he continued stonewalling on the White House tapes. Maybe he was wrong.)
@mkraju Wild scene inside House Oversight. Nancy Mace attacks Hunter Biden, who showed up at hearing. "You are the epitome of White privilege. ... You have no balls. ... I think Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now and go to jail," she said Andy Biggs scolds his colleagues to "not act like a bunch of nimrods."

It'd be cool if some AG in a red state put charges out, or something, though.

They also have the power to pass a budget that zeroes out the DOJ's budget (or limits it to $1, which is preferable for reasons I don't remember) and then go fishing for the rest of Congress, but they don't do that either.

I will say that it does feel like the GOP is changing because the GOPe is actively limiting its own power in the caucus through retirements (essentially, once they hit the term limits on committee chairs, they bail) which has strengthened the right wing of the caucus at a level not seen since...Gingrich's rise to power?
All this is happening while GOPe megadonors are throwing tens and hundreds of millions of dollars to put one of their puppets in the presidential nomination and getting nowhere.
The GOP is in a long, achingly slow process of change. I'm not out of hope that, in time, the GOP can become an actual opposition party. It's not there now. It probably won't be after the next election. But...someday.

Yes, and they never will. Depending on my level of cynicism, I think there are two potential reasons for this:
1. That's not who we are, etc. They simply don't want to.
2. They're genuinely afraid of what would happen, primarily that they'd the defund an agency and then ... nothing would happen. The agencies would go on anyway, and the executive agencies would force the issue about how the government *actually* works. What happens if you defund (or even dissolve) an agency, but the agency doesn't go along with it? Nobody wants to be demonstrated as an empty shell.

I've had this hope since the Tea Party. The GOP of 2008 is not the same as the GOP of 2023. We would have all hoped a lot more progress would have happened in the ensuing 15 years, but progress has been made nonetheless.
Also, some more senators need crises of conscious that get them to try and blow their brains out in the cloak room. I might settle for having the voice and diction of Claude Rains.

Hunter Biden traffics women for sex but ran away when I was recognized to speak to him.
The only women Hunter Biden likes to deal with are the women he hires for sex, flies across the country, films and photos his disgusting porn with, and post his nasty videos on porn sites.
Hunter can’t handle being held accountable for the crimes he has committed.

The "stupid thing" he did in this instance was have hotels that will rent rooms to anyone, and email them coupons for discounts on their next stay.

Legal theorist Seth Tillman and his research partner (Josh Blackman mebbe?) have a whole host of research papers dealing with the emoluments clause and its definition which also involve who is a federal officer subject to that requirement. End result, it did not apply to Trump in office. Courts actually cited his research as to why the case was dismissed during the Trump years.

I think you are referring to the Holman Rule. Regarding salaries, the token $1 amount prevents constitutional challenges based on separation of powers (that only the executive can fire someone). Normally above that, Congressional power is plenary regarding the spending clause (other than other constitutional no nos.)

The big shift is that only a small fraction of people went to college in the 50s, so you could be a philosophy major and get a good job, simply because you were a college graduate.

That's the thing about all this lawfare.
Is it works for the DC-core party so well. I noticed a few years back that the Dems enjoy frustrating their base. They just point a finger over to the other side and tell them *they're* the real culprits.
So they bring a bunch of shaky-ass cases against Trump, and as they fail in court for the pieces of crap they were slapped together as, their base feels more and more like Trump is getting away with something.
Plus, I'm quite sure that it distracts the base from noticing you're not so much against capital that you would pass on dollies of cash coming in your door.

Your focus group for opinion is obviously not the Right but somewhere else. You tell me where you get your information as all of even the Conservative Media TM debunked the whole emolument lawfare scheme back when it originally became an issue. So the reasonable conclusion is that you got it from the MSM which was trumpeting it out and keeps bringing it back from time to time.
Notice dumping on Trump and supporters is what the MSM does and Conservative Media TM does when it wants an alternative candidate and that really does not do DeSantis any favors just as Cruz supporters pretty much generated enough ill will back in 2016 to doom future national contests. It also damn near derailed his 2018 re election.
Me, I don't really care between Trump or DeSantis as I think there is the cheat to fight nationwide and the possibility of an outright coup against either if the Dems have their way.

PhDs are tricky in the job market. There are a lot of really useless PhDs. But even if you have a really good PhD, you're extremely specialized. So there might only be a few companies in the world who are doing something that would involve hiring someone with that particular PhD.
It's also possible for a PhD to go out of date very quickly. If the companies that specialize in that particular area decide your process or your idea or whatever costs too much or doesn't have enough benefit or doesn't hold the promise people once thought it did, you're done. Your life's work is now useless.
Sure you can find work with some company that generally values the research tools a PhD learns, but they might only pay a bit over minimum wage for a general researcher type position.

I suspect those numbers are from back when 90% of PhDs were for actual research in fields that actually mattered.

Quite frankly you resemble Blago in comments if not in style and tiresome whataboutism regarding Trump in a post about Hunter does not do DeSantis any favors if that is who you actually favor for the nomination.
Frankly, it looks like DeSantis is probably withdrawing after losing in Iowa anyway as most of the establishment is moving to Nikki love now to stop Trump. Time has simply run out on DeSantis to change the vibe and Nikki is doing far better in NH. Cruz won the Iowa caucus with evangelicals in 2016 but they appear from polling to be backing Trump this time and they are the predominant voting bloc in the GOP caucuses.

My company's attitude was a Master's Degree was a bad deal. You expected to get paid more but you didn't know more that benefited the company.
A PhD was even worse.
Unless the company needed the specific thing you'd researched, it's a waste to get it for any reason other than teaching... and the world only needs so many Lesbian Sanskrit Literature professors.

Peanut farming is a cartel, there are only so many peanuts allowed to be produced/sold and Jimmy leased out his peanut certificates so that he wasn't producing any even before he moved to politics.

Republican presidential rivals Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley will square off on Wednesday in their first head-to-head debate as they fight to emerge as the clear alternative to frontrunner Donald Trump in the race for the party's White House nomination. ... the CNN debate ... begins at 9 p.m. ET (0200 GMT on Thursday).

But now? Now the corruption is so blatant, brazen even, out there for all to see, yet on it goes. They jump on the grift without either shame or self-awareness. For them, it's just business as usual. They rub our noses in it.
This can't go on.

All the turmoil in the Super Pac with removals, firings, etc. should have warned you about this outcome. DeSantis has real accomplishments as governor but his political team was and is apparently piss poor Cruz campaign staff that basically spent a gob of money to produce a declining share in primary votes.
Getting into spats with Trump is a rather stupid role for a candidate seeking to displace him. Perhaps it is because in 2016, Cruz try to draft behind Trump presumably to try to slingshot past him in later primaries and his former managers were not going to repeat that mistake. Instead, they chose to get into the mud with Trump which is a mistake because Trump likes it dirty in the mud.
It would have been a difficult race anyway but DeSantis tried to thread the needle which made him appear weak on important national issues such as his passionless statements over Trump being railroaded, the Mar a Lago raid, Ukraine aid, and so on. Even his abortive move illegals northward ended up far inferior to that of Abbott.

It might have been interesting to have the chair/ranking member demand Hunter et all be arrested, searched for drugs/weapons etc...and watch the interaction between the Sgt at Arms, Capitol police guards and Hunters SS Detail.
Where was hunter etal immediately prior to appearing there? The Whitehouse? Where did they go immediately after? Meeting with any Officials? How many cars were in his motorcade? Where did they park?
It's not like just "Anyone" can drive right up to the Capitol, hop out with an entourage, and barge into a Hearing Room.

Parking revenues alone are in the Millions, parking is a BIG business particularly in NYC/DC/Chicago...Do the Dems demand lists of every single car that ever parked in/at a Trump property?
Their BIG claim is that he received $10's of Millions from a Chinese company that had a large amount of office space at Trump Tower, but had that space starting in 2008...then canceled their lease and moved out while Trump was still in office.
By the Way...both Tiffany's and NIKE's biggest stores are anchor clients in Trump Buildings...have been for decades. Should every pair of shoes sold, and every "Blue Box" ever gifted to a wife(or mistress) count as an emolument?
Trump also invited and donated the office space to Jesse Jackson's headquarters...last I heard JJ still uses it.(Racissssst!)

They should have ignored him and refused to let him speak, and had the Sergeant at Arms cuff him if he caused a disturbance. They should have pointed out that showing up when you are not invited and causing a disturbance is yet another act of Contempt of Congress! Instead the fools let him flaunt his presence... fucking Stupid Party!

IIRC, it has a lot to do with sites important to Jewish people.
I think the people who get on this commission are expected to raise money to preserve/restore different sites. Makes sense that another wealthy Jewish person wanted to be on this particular presidential committee, kind of like how plumb ambassador jobs go to big donors.
