If you were truly interested in influencing peddling and using one's name as a brand, one would think you should have jumped up and down about the Trump family's non-stop grifting from Ivanka's trademarks in China, Kushner's $2 billion from Saudi Arabia and Trump's hotel deal with Russia while welcoming their help in the 2016 election (not to mention Trump steaks, Trump water, Trump University, his bilking of the base with his "Stop the Steal" lies, etc.).
You're too dimwitted to realize that this entire Hunter Biden brouhaha is nothing but an attempt to distract people like you from Trump's rampant criminality with a lame attempt at whataboutism. Your willingness to believe (and propagate) this bullshit says volumes about your continuing fealty to a narcissistic sociopath, rapist and career criminal.

I love how you think I'm taking your seriously when you:
- complain about "whataboutism" while engaging in it yourself
- tell me that I'm "dimwitted" because I'm not obsessed with Trump like you are.
- tell me that I have "continuing fealty" to Trump when I've already told you I have no interest in voting for the guy.
- completely mischaracterize what Devon Archer said under oath.
As far as Archer's testimony, you'd have to be pretty dimwitted to assume that Joe Biden was not involved in closing the deal.
From the
AP:
Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers inside the closed-door interview said Archer testified that over the span of 10 years, Hunter Biden put his father on the phone around 20 times while in the company of associates but “never once spoke about any business dealings.”
New York Rep. Dan Goldman, who was representing Democrats inside the room, told reporters after the interview that Archer testified that Hunter sold the “illusion of access” to his father by taking credit for things his father did as vice president that he had no part in.
These calls were meant to prove to the potential buyer that Hunter could get his dad on the phone any time he wanted. You can spin this and say that Joe was just taking a friendly call from his son.
But that would discount the fact that it is extraordinarily difficult to get to the President or Vice President of the United States. The Secret Service must plan and coordinate all of the President's or VP's activities, including routing incoming calls through a secure line.
To assume that the senior Biden did not know the purpose of these calls and who was on the phone with Hunter and why, you'd have to be pretty dimwitted.
