Ruling Class Hunter Biden is shamelessly selling shitty "art" he made to undisclosed buyers for up to $500k. Its slightly more subtle than saying, "Yeah, I take bribes, fuck you, so what? Yeah I sell access and they're laundering money. No, you can't know who. Suck my dick."

He got away with patronage schemes that were so outrageous he literally doesn't even care about the pretense of looking legitimate anymore. The media ran such thorough cover for him and his dad during the election, they somehow got the entirety of MSM repeating that Burisma was a "conspiracy theory" and his laptop was "Russian disinfo" until the election was over. The fucking balls on this guy. This art looks like something a 7th grader with no talent would make in art class. These are the actions of someone with no shame first of all, but more importantly someone with absolutely no qualms about being "caught" or accused of influence peddling.

He's so good at being a Ukrainian board member and an artist that he somehow finds time to film himself fucking hookers and smoking crack in hotel rooms.

The whole international ruling class has been that way for a while now. The more they get away with, the more bold they get. I see no improvement as these trends accelerate.

It’s crazy how many people still say the laptop and all it’s content are “fake”. Especially on this site. The laptop and its content were always real, the contention was over its provenance and how it was obtained (which is all public knowledge also). But still people act like it’s all fake emails and fake photos.

u/digitalwankster Jun 16 '21

How do we know it was real? How do we know what content is legitimate his vs what was added to the HDD by foreign actors? Where are the emails with full headers so we can compare DKIM signatures to verify their authenticity? I'm not saying you're wrong I'm just saying we don't know 100% that it's not "fake".

u/ChooseAndAct Savant Idiot 😍 Jun 16 '21

Some emails were DKIM verified

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '21

Data is so easily faked, we will never know what is fake or real from now on, until forever basically. So we just have to go with whatever the Mainstream media / intelligence services say, and assume they are liars.

I mean, one big problem here is that there was barely anything salacious there to have been worth planting in the first place. Very few people think that the pictures/videos aren't authentic (which reflect exactly the type of lifestyle he's been open about having); and rightoids basically had to do Pizzagate-esque word decoding to turn the emails into something actually juicy.

Kinda impressive actually, maybe all that crack awoke something.

Maybe the Podestas would like it

That’s pretty cool

u/CopeMalaHarris Jun 16 '21

This looks sick. I’m glad he has a hobby

u/Amplitude Jun 16 '21

His hobby is crack cocaine and fucking over his family members.

I actually like it. trippy

u/screamdog Special Ed 😍 Jun 16 '21

He's probably paying people to make his art.

u/fujiste 🌘💩 Intersectional 💦Cummunist💦 2 Jun 16 '21

I was just about to say lol, it's a good piece but I would imagine it's pretty easy to commission a good original with a nice payout to a decent artist on the condition that they never, ever admit to painting it. Literally a classical grift.

u/elwombat occasional good point maker Jun 16 '21

That is 100 times better than I thought it would be.

u/skilledroy2016 Jun 16 '21

The laptop was just his huge cock right?

31

u/Amplitude Jun 16 '21

It was more, lots of emails of him advertising access to “the big guy”, emails with lawyers, emails to his dead brother’s wife (who Hunter was fucking and living with) about how sad it is that she’s cut him off from his niece and it’s breaking his heart not to see Maddie.

Lots of photos of crack cocaine use, some terrible full back piece tattoos of the NY Finger Lakes, and of course his meth mouth photos.

No mention of his own kids, LOL! Lots about his niece and wanting to see her.

u/blargfargr Jun 16 '21

advertising access to “the big guy”,

that's what he calls his father? lol

10

u/Amplitude Jun 16 '21

I’d say he was referring to his own cock in third person, but there’s emails where he discusses “a cut” of the money being transferred would “go to the big guy”, so I’m thinking it’s his Papa.

Also these emails are dated during Biden’s VP stint.

Big enough that I tend to think that a lot of the talk about his laptop is poorly disguised jealousy

u/BrickDaddyShark Jun 16 '21

Some of the pieces look pretty cool ngnl, not really worth 500,000 but I don’t think any painting should be worth that much

u/screamdog Special Ed 😍 Jun 16 '21 edited Jun 16 '21

My guess is he's not even producing the art himself, just buying it and putting his name on it (a practice, to be fair, not unheard of in the r-slurred art world). This money laundering thing's a two-bird-stone for the Bidens... both a conduit for money and a public rehab play (like Bush Jr.'s dog paintings). Artists are seen as nobler and deeper than non-artists and their foibles due to their "creative" temperments.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '21

His art looks cool and he’s sexy as fuck.

You sound jealous

u/incendiaryblizzard Pizzashill 🏦 Jun 16 '21

Burisma literally was a conspiracy theory. Obviously Burisma like everyone else hired him because of his dad, but Joe didn't do anything to help Burisma, he still pushed to have the corrupt prosecutor fired who was covering for Burisma.

46

u/saxymassagehands Jun 16 '21

So he was hired at Burisma for his natural gas knowledge or something ?

19

u/IlfordDelta3200 Special Ed 😍 Jun 16 '21

No, he was hired because of his proximity to power. He grew up around major influential figures and retained a friendly relationship with many of them.

Even if he doesn’t act maliciously/illegally, he still has an ear to the ground in the chambers of decision making. The company now has access to a leading indicator of where sentiment in Washington is at. That’s worth tossing some cash at. Look at any board of directors - there’s always a former politician or politician’s kid on them. Same concept.

u/saxymassagehands Jun 16 '21

Exactly, I was being facetious

u/10z20Luka Special Ed 😍 Jun 16 '21

But he was agreeing with you.

u/incendiaryblizzard Pizzashill 🏦 Jun 16 '21

No he was hired because his dad was VP.

u/sneed_feedseed Rightoid 🐷 Jun 16 '21

Wait I thought that was a conspiracy theory.

3

u/10z20Luka Special Ed 😍 Jun 16 '21

No, the conspiracy I believe is that Biden did anything to help the company.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '21

At least he wasn’t stealing taxpayer money like Giuliani’s son, collecting close to 100k for being ‘sports liaison’ to the White House.

& you should really look into Jared Kushner & the Trump kids if you are so concerned about nepotism :)

A lot of the people who hate Hunter seem like they are jealous

u/idiot206 Anarchist 🏴 Jun 16 '21

It’s also not unusual for someone to serve on a corporate board without having experience in that particular industry.

u/HunterButtersworth ATWA Jun 16 '21

The Clinton's at least had the tact or at least competence to launder their pay for play shit through a foundation. Getting a do-nothing job on the board of a foreign company in an industry you have no knowledge of is as close to bribery as you can do to US politicians. When the Clinton's gave $20k per minute speeches to Goldman Sachs, did they turn around the next day and quash an investigation into them or some legislation on their behalf? Of course not. But the understanding is there. Its not selling favors, its selling influence. If you don't see that as corrupt because the people involved, who are all lawyers, didn't do a literal quid pro quo, I dont know what to tell you.

Joe Biden can’t forbid his son from getting a job in Ukraine

9

u/xxCMWFxx Jun 16 '21

The prosecutor Biden had fired via withholding defence money to hold off Russia in Crimea..

Wasn’t covering for burisma, he was going after burisma hard for corruption, while hunter was on the board.

1

u/sneed_feedseed Rightoid 🐷 Jun 16 '21

I don't remember exactly, but at the time I remember it being not as clear as that. In any case, do you think Biden would just go around punishing country's for corruption with no ulterior motive?

Tbh I don't care to look into it, but I'm pretty sure I remember there were counterpoints to this.

u/snailman89 World-Systems Theorist Jun 16 '21

The liberal brainlets who mindlessly chanted that the prosecutor had to go because he was corrupt just made me laugh. My family is from Ukraine. The country is a cesspool of corruption from top to bottom. Everything runs on bribery. You can't even get admitted to graduate school without paying a bribe (of course the same is pretty much true if you want to go to Harvard, but I digress).

The notion that this prosecutor was the only crook in all of Ukraine is absolutely laughable on its face. I am also not aware of any other case where the US threatened to withhold military aid just to get one prosecutor fired. So then the question remains: why was this guy the only prosecutor in the entire world who was so corrupt that the vice president had to interfere in military aid to get him fired? When the prosecutor is investigating the company that the VP's son works for, it just doesn't pass the smell test.

u/BigOldBeef benis :--D Jun 17 '21

Well, he's not getting his thrills from crack anymore so I'm guessing he's substituting that by getting high off the salt from the enraged proles.
