The President's Son, Painting

 I HAVE NO IDEA whether Hunter Biden is a good artist; I haven't seen his work. I am a poor art critic, being of the minions who invariably say: "I may not know good art, but I know what I like." (I think that's a good response for anybody.) So Hunter the son of Joseph, is now painting, and getting ridiculous prices for his art, merely by being the son of the president. As they say, its too windy to stack BBs, and, well, it keeps him off the street, and out of the Ukraine, maybe. The best part of this story is: here come the Republicans. Here comes the sanctimonious conservative mob, the gang o' Trump, screaming corruption. Now, bear in mind that no amount of corruption in the Trump administration or the life of Trump qualifies as corruption, but only as liberal Democratic media hoaxes. Or Chinese. Or whatever. Trump could welcome Russian help getting elected, blackmail the Ukraine for dirt on Joe Biden, falsely claim election loss fraud, and send a violent mob to the Capitol to overthrow the government, or, short of that, simply tear the place up a tad, and, well, hell, no harm, no foul. Did I mention Trump trying to turn  his presidency into a money making machine for his business interests, in direct violation of the emoluments clause? The Teflon Don, who can imitate Al Capone years on end, with not an iota of criticism from his adoring conservative evangelical Christian disciples, who are good to go with ascribing all blatant Trump criminality to "media hoaxes", because, after all, he's conservative, loves Jesus, loves unborn babies, and lowers taxes on the wealthy, who, after all, gained their wealth by virtue of the "gospel of prosperity", wherein  conservatives are rewarded with abundant wealth by the capitalistic gun toting Jesus Christ, for accepting as their savior a man who was tortured to death that they might not suffer for their sins. "Go they way, and sell whatsoever thou hast, and give unto the poor? Oh, um..that comes later.... First we must make ends meet for our six car Lamborghini filled garage by preaching the message of not the Jesus who admonished that only the poor enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the Jesus who in conservative fantasy preaches that only the rich do, the slick television evangelists, the Trump folks, the folks who fight like hell for the unborn then lock children in cages once they are born, for being brown, undocumented, and Mexican..  How very Christian of the Trump-adoring Jesus lovers! But Hunter Biden is a corrupt criminal, for making and selling art, in the free market. These right wing Trump Christians, they sho' do put on a good show.
