Hunter’s Haiku: The Poetic Side to Influence Peddling

The latest sale of Hunter Biden’s over-priced art is being featured at the Georges Bergès Gallery in New York City. His much maligned pieces will be sold for as much as $225,000 and there appears no shortage of buyers. This is only the latest such sale, which has raised the concern of ethics experts over the use of art for parties to influence President Joe Biden by buying his son’s paintings.  Hunter is known to have both high expenses and limited funds. Indeed, a friend and lawyer reportedly had to pay off his overdue taxes. While foreign parties lined up previously to give Hunter millions in dubious deals, they can now just write a check and walk away with a virtual certification of support to hang on the wall of their office or home. What is different is that this sale comes with a Haiku from Hunter.

Hunter’s haiku appears a tad off from the traditional 17 syllables in 3 lines of five, seven, five:

Atoms bloom in my chest

All the room is filled it is full

I can see all the colors

For the next showing, a more traditional and relevant haiku may be warranted:

Money falls like leaves

Influence is an art form 

The Big Guy sees all.

    1. This is an unintelligible and inscrutable site anomaly from the digital ether in cyberspace.

  1. As if the culture hasn’t been degraded enough, now we have to endure this “art” for sale from a grifter to those who seek something hidden from the rest of us. Only the politicians (and maybe the FBI) know what that hidden treasure might be.

  2. I find it amazing that Turley has his panties in a twist over Hunter Biden selling art, with the implication (lacking any evidence) that such sales are nothing but an obvious effort to gain influence with his father, but has yet to comment on foreign governments booking rooms at Trump’s Washington DC Hotel, including conference rooms, that were never used. Trump was the actual occupant of the Oval Office at the time. Hunter is just Biden’s son. Today’s assignment is just another effort to resuscitate the “Hunter Biden Scandal”.

    1. A crackhead with no money…

      Seriously, what could possibly go wrong?

      If I wanted to blackmail Biden, and let’s say, get Billions of dollars of “security assistance” for my country…

      I know exactly who I would target, and it wouldn’t be booking rooms at a Trump hotel, from someone with no history of drug use, with billions of dollars of their own.

      But that’s just me. 🙂

        1. All us comuhnists don’t want America great again!

          We hope ana prey fo its downf all!

          Signed, Karl.

    2. Yes because doing crack and peddaling influence is totally normal for a presidents son and oh yeah screwing his dead brothers wife

      1. The first two are legal questions the last one is a moral question, unfortunately the left are exempted from answering for any of those particular three infractions.

    3. I expect you wantonly see no difference between an actual Hotel room in the center of Washington and a piece of shite ‘art’ about as valuable as an NFT . The monkey who refuses to see the brazen corruption !

  3. Sometimes people overpay for art by people whose name they know. If someone’s name is in the news, it becomes a conversation piece when their art is on the wall.

    I suspect that Jonathan and other right wingers saying Hunter Biden’s name over and over every day makes his art more valuable. Ka-ching!

  4. Maybe if Hunter got Chinese patents, or a 2 billion dollar loan Turley would be just peachy with those deals.

  5. “It’s the [moneylaudering], stupid!”

    2/2. Now imagine all the foreign agents, fishy businessmen, lobbyists, politicos buying the work & back room deals. The potential for conflict of interest is enormous & dangerous.
    Do what Republican war-monger George W. Bush did. Make your work; show it at a non-profit; no sales

  7. Hunter Biden should check out these rare paintings:

    >Anthony Usher, a thief, usurer & merchant of flesh
    >Burnett Usher, swindler, forgerer, drug addict & jewel thief
    > Brandon Usher, professional assassin
    > Vivian Usher, Blackmailer, harlot & murderer
    > Capt. David Usher, smuggler, slave trader & mass murderer

  8. As a degreed Art Historian, I must admit, while disclosing that I am a conservative and find hunter and family scum, that this art (if he actually made it himself) has a certain degree of merit if not just for color, design and image. I’m not saying that he is the new Rembrandt but “his” works seem as good as most others found in modern galleries today. Nothing extraordinary but competent enough. I regret that some on the right will condemn this “art” simply based on its creator and, also, some on the left will consider it genius for the same reason. The real issue, though, is the problem of influencing people in power, which is as old as the hills and can only be deterred by the merits of those in power. Unfortunately, the prog/left has saddled our nation with one of its most accomplished and long-running grifters as commander in chief and that poses some significant problems for our national security.

    1. Alma Carman,
      While I do not hold a degree such as yourself, I have to agree with your assessment.
      I actually like that piece of work by Hunter.
      The haiku is “meh” at best, but over all I like the painting itself.

      Would I pay six figures for it?
      Probably not . . . Unless it got me access to some serious influence (wink, wink).

    2. I bet they’re ghost-painted. He probably used the money from the last sale to hire someone with real talent.

      1. That was my first instinctive response. If hunter had such talent it would be a shame that his association with his father’s proclivities would have superceded his attempts to nourish that ability and if he had not ever felt that inclination, then perhaps someone is making the actual art on the QT. My own personal rule is to not judge any contemporary art for a minimum of 50 years or the death of the artist. Let time separate out fad from talent. Either way, that art, like most of modern art, will either stand the test of time or it won’t but the truly important germ of this matter is his grifter dad and how he is compromising our nation.

  9. Hunter should hold an art auction. He could set the minimum price at $83,333, equal to one month’s compensation at Burrisma Holdings.

  10. Are you as interested in who paid Justice “I love beer” Kavanaugh‘s debts? I bet not. Will you be requesting capital punishment for Hunter Biden? God, no one hid this story. It has been being churned for years.

    1. “Churned?” Perhaps, but not by the greater media as it should have been. Protect the Big Guy, and the little guy gets a break too.

      1. “Churned” in Injustice Homeboy’s toilet as it augured in, downward to its death, and irretrievably out of public view.

  11. I can comprehend the attraction to Hunter Biden’s artwork from a financial perspective which is that art is always worth more after the artist dies. The bet is that a relapse and overdose will do it especially as the pressure mounts regarding his past dealings and prison looks very unappealing.

    1. Calling what Hunter is selling “art” is a huge stretch. It is, in fact, an IOU which will be worthless after Joe leaves office.

      1. Art is subjective and still think that Picasso was a genius because he realized that idiots were willing to pay for his lack of talent. As far as Hunter is concerned, you are correct as far as business/politics are concerned but his demise, or lack thereof, will influence the value of his “artwork”
