    What does Trump, Jr. do? Is he the crackhead or is that the other one? I know one of them has five kids and recorded some rant about teachers while standing in front of wall full of firearms. I think that's the same one that's with the loud woman that spoke at the RNC last year.

    I typically don't care about what famous people's kids are doing and I vehemently disagree with the public thinking they can approach celebrities and take photos and interrupt their meals. I think they should all be off-limits unless they are in some official capacity but just being related to somebody famous shouldn't earn them newsworthy status. Then, again, I'm not a nosy person so I couldn't possibly care less about what is going on in other people's personal lives (and their kids ARE their personal life).

    I never really paid attention to baby Bush but was pleasantly surprised to read about him taking up drawing since leaving office. I never would have pegged him as an artist but some of his pieces are very, very good. I don't have any opinions about Hunter's art as it's a very subjective discipline. I wouldn't buy it just BECAUSE he has a famous last name but I also wouldn't not buy it if I liked it.

    Gotta say that would make a kick-azz stained glass window......maybe he should try dabbling in that medium.

    Art has to be one of the most convenient ways the super wealthy hide and transfer their wealth. Every other means is illegal or is audited but art is built into the tax code.

    Art is a hundred times more appreciated when it's from the president's former crack smoking son.

    I wonder if there's a certificate of access granted to the internal committee directing Xoe? Let's just say, hypothetically, George S (a newsie kind of smarm) buys one, how many exclusives with the administration does that buy him?

    I have spent many days wandering through the Crystal Bridges Art Museum. It is sectioned off by art type . I guess Hunter's would fit somewhere in the modern art category. Very few people actually visit that part of the museum. On the other hand, the sections by the great masters are almost always crowded.

    We have some oil paintings on the walls in our house. Some by my wife and some by me and a few others we have bought over the years. I make no claims about my ability. It was just something I enjoyed doing. I would not want Hunter's painting on a wall in my house.

    As long they follow the golden rule BigGuy gets his 10% then it's all good.

    Anyone who spends thousands for a Hunter Biden original hopefully does so with their own money, and at their own RISK that it may wind up being worthless.

    Bob Ross paintings are awesome. The problem is YOU AND I .... we cannot buy them. Thousands of them sit in a building stacked up on each other, not for sale to anyone. It sucks. They would go for $30K a piece easy.

    The big guy is a bigger guy now and I'm thinking if VP gets 10%... the bigger guy gets 20 or 30%

    My taste tends closer to Bob Ross also. However, the Bob Ross school teaches how to do tricks with the paint brush that looks like something rather than being realistic painting. For example, his painting rarely had anything that had a definite shape like a person or animal or some other manmade object. He made splotches on the canvas which looked like trees and mountains, but not a specific tree or mountain.

    Certainly he had far more talent that I would ever have, but neither was he in the same category as the old masters who could make people who actually looked like people you could recognize.

    Pretty good. Not as good as the political favors that come with the purchase!

    The maximum shelf life of the value of those paintings is 3 years with little to no resale value.

    For $30 bucks at a flea market maybe

    Maybe Hunter actually had some input in that 'piece'. If that doesn't look like it came straight out of a strip joint, then nothing does. If you look closely, there's probably some hidden T&A.

    Still struggling to figure out how business equity works? No surprise. And, no, there's no indication Joe is getting any kind of share of these art sales. But keep making **** up. It's all you guys have left.
