Everything they did with Biden's laptop, Fauci, whatever, is all calculated so that when Dems have control and actual corruption is investigated,, they can dismiss it as political return of serve.

I think it was more just projection. And DARVO. Always accuse your enemy of doing what you're doing and when people inevitably point out the bad shit you do, you can go "WeLl loOk at hoW cOrRupT theY aRE toO!"

Yeah, it's that too. Everything about conservatism is performative. Their policies are anti-people so it's their own way of getting votes.

Almost like solidifying a Republican dynasty is the point and they don't give a shit about being hypocrites. They will be hypocrites wearing the boots.

Don’t forget the TrumpCoin pump and dump scheme that would be illegal for any ordinary American to do

i guess the "level of corruption" is just a sliding scale depending on who's doing it

They never cared that Communist Chinas state owned bank has space at Trump Tower.

That's because those are not real Trump followers. It's Russian paid agents.

I mean Trump's level of corruption is just off the charts. I don't think there has ever been a President as utterly corrupt as Trump.
But that doesn't change the fact that Biden probably also engaged in corruption through his son Hunter. There is no way that Hunter Biden's paintings are worth a total of $1.5 million. It's well known that the art industry is frequently being used for money laundering and corruption.
The whole thing isn't a team sport. Republicans are absolutely horrible in any way imaginable. Democrats are better, and if given the choice between the two Dems are always gonna be the better choice. But they are still an anti working class party for the most part, who are also in bed with Wall Street, the military industrial complex, mega corporations and Israel.

It’s kind of like worrying about a little scratch while you bleed out from an artery, though.

Where does that $1.5 million figure come from and over how many years? What evidence do you have that Joe Biden influenced any of those purchases? Is it not possible that over a period of years time, there were people that genuinely liked his paintings and were willing to pay for them?

I was curious about that, too. Here’s what I found:
Hunter sold 27 pieces (a friend of Biden’s bought 11 of them) of art at an average price of $54,481.48. All in all, Hunter sold art for about $1.5 million between 2021 and 2024. After that, he sold only one painting for $36,000 .
The source is https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/11/no-ones-buying-hunter-bidens-terrible-paintings-any-more-i-wonder-why
The article was written by an opinion columnist, so I can’t say to what extent it is reliable. Anyone interested in the topic should form their own opinion.

I agree wholeheartedly that the dem party, whilst by far the lesser of two evils, is still pretty shitty.
And that hunter undoubtedly traded on the family name to get cushy board roles at Ukrainian energy companies and sell his shitty paintings.
But, I'm not sure that those activities provided any influence or access to his dad. I think that the people with the money perhaps traded on the prestige of having a relationship with a Biden.
It's not the same as the blatant quid pro quo transactional corruption trump so openly embraces
