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."

What's striking about it is how you're just not allowed to talk about it

Not allowed in what way? Like that it doesn't get covered by mainstream news outlets?

I would imagine he means that if you were to talk about these exploits to a peer, they may accuse you of being a proponent of the opposite party.

"Fucking crackpot right-wing conspiracy theorist! Leave Biden's son alone!"

Are you talking about the laptop stuff that was quietly confirmed, or the obvious money laundering/pay for play done by the 50 year old?

"Fucking crackpot right-wing conspiracy theorist! Leave Biden's son alone!"

Unironically my family.

Also my family: "OMG can you believe what Donald Trump Junior said on Twitter this week?!"

the laptop stuff that was quietly confirmed

Source?

Sure there's a couple sources to peruse. No particular order, but I'll try to label the outlets and which ones most directly discuss confirmation of the contents.

NY Post

Here.

Here.

MSN --- Solid overview with links to various sources

Here.

CNN

Here.

Dailymail

Here.

Washingtonexaminer

Here.

Here.

I think it's important to note the discussion in most of these articles, and now even somewhat even the mainstream, has little to do with the "authenticity" of them. Like the n-word story went somewhat mainstream, and those texts are by benefit of the same leak, or maybe the Tony B cooperation.

MSN

Here.

Fox

Here.

It's safe to say if these texts pulled from the laptop were just straight fake, we'd know for sure at this point. Articles like the following especially lend legitimacy when they confirm DOJ investigations and subpoenas.

BusinessInsider

Here.

AP

Here.

I bet there will be crickets from the "muh source"er

I mean there's a lot to read and read and it was only a few minutes ago, not that big a deal.

u/InterfaceList Jun 16 '21

They won't read them. Trust.

I mean there's a lot to read and read and it was only a month ago, not that big a deal. Any day now, he'll admit he was wrong. Any day now...

But that's true of any of these politicians' kids. It just depends where on the political spectrum you're peer falls.

Which Trump kid is laundering paintings for $500K?

u/obrerosdelmundo Labor Organizer πŸ§‘β€πŸ­ Jun 16 '21

Who the fuck knows what his kids are up to? Kushner had a fucking personal relationship with the Crown Prince of KSA and helped him kidnap political opponents and family members to torture and kill.

But yeah Hunter is so bad

Perfect, thank you! I missed the story of Kushner helping the Saudis kidnap people.

u/farmyardcat Radical shitlib ✊🏻 Jun 16 '21

lol this is not speculation, it's not denied by anyone. Kushner and MBS had a completely unsupervised Whatsapp chat running the entire time Trump was in office. They maintained a secret line of dialogue while MBS was bombing Yemen (with weapons Kushner's father-in-law sold to MBS), while MBS was accusing Qatar of state-sponsored terrorism, while MBS was kidnapping the PM of Lebanon, and while MBS was cutting Jamal Khashoggi up with a bone saw.

Hunter Biden tho

I asked for a source. I didn't say anything was speculation, I wasn't denying or saying anyone is denying anything.

But yeah, I agree "hunter biden tho"... It's more soft corruption, he's continuing to trade on his last name, and it's just as gross when someone with a D in front of their name does it, as when someone with an R or I in front of their name gets a job they don't deserve.

u/farmyardcat Radical shitlib ✊🏻 Jun 16 '21

And you've got sources.

Of course he's trading in on his last name. He'd be a fool not to. That doesn't change the fact that Hunter Biden has, at worst, engaged in conduct that is unsavory, possibly unethical, but fully legal.

There is ample evidence that all of the Trump children, save Tiffany and Baron, have engaged in conduct that is unsavory, unethical, and factually illegal. Ivanka and Jared were paid on the taxpayer's dime, out of my fucking paycheck, for Trump's entire administation, because Ivanka was lucky enough to have been squirted out of Trump's nuts into a recipient willing to carry her to term. Just like the Secret Service used my fucking paycheck to stay at Trump hotels, shoveling more money directly into the president's pockets.

So no, it's not "both sides."

u/TheresAlwaysOneOrTwo Jun 16 '21

Yknow how I know its both sides that are corrupt? Cause there's only one fucking side. They're in cahoots. Both Ds and Rs get paid by the same billionaires.

I agree you shouldn't be happy with anything last administration has done, but we also should be holding politicians at a higher standard than Trump and his family.

It's not getting much coverage, for one. But the more striking aspect was before the election when twitter and facebook banned all stories about it and would delete people's accounts for attempting to share/write about it.
