Well, let's see...
Vacuous blank stare..... CHECK
Idiotic, silly grin..... CHECK
Hair still has the Walmart price tag on it..... CHECK
Yup! That's Biden's son alright.
Kinda looks like Bradley Cooper....after he's been dildoed with a 12" "Black Beauty" model from the local toy shop....for 11 hours sans lubrication....
He just got himself on the list for hanging triators. When the time comes his shit eating smiling face will be on a pole on route 95
On his resume, there is only one sentence: "Son of Joe Biden, the vice president of USSA ".
Gee, I wonder how he got that job? Who says there are no jobs?
I wonder how long the interviewing process was?
The great thing is he can work from his dad's basement. So he can whack off in dad's bathroom and still submit IMPORTANT, he-he-he, briefs.
Here's one now.
"Gas is dangerous. It can blow up. Do not let gas blow up."
Everything he says to the rest of the board starts with........ "my dad says................"
The only good thing that could come out of this is he could be sitting in Kiev when Russia drops the nuke. Now that's a plus. Hopefully Dad will be visiting at the time.
Let me get this straight we overthrew a country's government to get this guy a job? Wow. I'd like Brazil please. Where do I apply?
I don't think a resume like that would be possible even for three people who didn't sleep.
How many jobs does he have at the same time there? I stopped counting. Must be super human or these are half hour a week jobs.
Maybe he is a really good softball player and they need him to play shortstop for their Wednesday night beer league?
Well you don't say. Noting can shock me these days.
since when did reggie love get skin bleaching?
Aha.... I now realize who this R Hunter Biden reminds me of
The Johnny cab driver from Total Recall. Same dumb smile and glass eyes, even same blue grey suit

“Don’t pocket the potatoes”. An anti-theft sign in a Vancouver community garden. Credit: Ian YoungIt’s springtime in Vancouver, and the urban agrarians are out in force, tilling the community gardens that have become a trademark of the city and helped make it an epicentre of the locavore food movement.
Kale, organic garlic and heritage tomatoes are sprouting in gardens scattered in parks and public lots across the region. The tasty young offerings have brought out the pests, too: Cabbage moths, aphids and, if a recent report is to be believed, the Common Chinese Garden Pilferer.
The Richmond News last week devoted a feature to the subject of theft from community gardens by members of Richmond’s majority Asian community, “particularly older generation new immigrants from China”. Such gardens are generally unfenced and open for the admiration of all - but their crops are not for public consumption.
The distinction is lost on some, the Richmond News reported." For people from a Western culture, the idea of someone helping themselves to the lovingly grown vegetables and plants in a stranger’s garden is abhorrent and nothing short of theft,” the newspaper claimed. “For some Asian cultures … if there are no fences around a community garden, then the stuff growing in it is just that, for the community.”
There are 75 community gardens scattered across the city of Vancouver, with a further eight in the satellite city of Richmond. Richmond’s gardens are all managed by the Richmond Food Security Society, which allocates lots in exchange for a small rental fee. Gardeners are required to maintain and farm their own plot, as well as spend 15 hours a year on the general activities required to keep the scheme up and running.
Despite the workload, there is no shortage of would-be urban farmers, with a waitlist of 150 people for Richmond’s 300 or so lots.
Colin Dring, executive director of the Richmond Food Security Society, said the city’s community gardeners came from a range of cultural backgrounds, and he couldn’t be sure that there was less awareness of community garden etiquette in the Chinese community. “We haven’t explicitly examined the issue in detail and most of the information is anecdotal,” Dring said. “We’ve had Chinese community gardeners having stuff stolen by other Chinese, there’s definitely that. It’s not a one sided story, with a Western gardener trying to deal with someone [stealing] who is ethnically different.”
But Dring conceded that cultural differences sometimes came into play. “There’s definitely more work to be done with engagement, particularly understanding how different cultures view public space,” he said. “When you label something as a public park, or a sharing space, or a community garden…those language nuances mean different things to different groups.”
Dring - who studied psychology and environmental science, and whose mother was born in Beijing - said his background helped give him an awareness that stereotyping may be at play in depictions of Chinese as inveterate crop snatchers. “In many ways [anecdotal information about Chinese thefts] just reinforces stereotypes. People will concentrate all their efforts on one group but the reality is that these thefts happen across all demographics in our community,” he said.
“My psychology training kicks in when I say that people look for things that confirm their world views. It’s a challenge. Without having opportunities for cross dialogue, it’s difficult to get to the root of why anybody is going into a public space and taking food or plants or ornaments.”
He said he was not aware of a greater level of theft in Richmond’s community gardens, compared to those in Vancouver city. “Anywhere that has community gardens experiences theft…it may be that we [in Richmond] have a more engaged community of gardeners and they are spending more time out there and they notice it more and are more vocal. No matter where you have community gardens, theft is occurring.”

It's here. We are living it and it's beginning to get pretty un fucking believable. The ultimate middle finger. I'm sure there are more to come. This also confirms that most of the average useless eaters have been consuming their own insides for so long as a result of having their heads shoved so far up their own rectums that if you highlight this particular issue and ask them how they feel about it they will literally respond "i don't see the problem. Isn't he qualified? Good for him!" ...confirming that you are the only human conscious at a vampire blood orgy. Like a rapist running rampant. Rule of Law, Human Rights, Sanity. All of that shit is evaporating fast. Things are going to get Strange in the near future. It's almost like they know that the End is coming so "WHO GIVES A FUCK what we do now?" It's like the husband who is banging broads in his own house in front of his wife and kids because he knows he is about to leave and/or kill himself and has lost his marbles. Scary, but Liberating. With all of this open skullduggery and villainy I am almost gaining respect for the fucking balls on these guys. Are they human? Are they mortal?
Or maybe collectively we are really just a bunch of fucking idiots. Yeah I think that's it. Time to switch sides? Shaking my head in disbelief. If there's no blowback or uproar from this then we are truly in times when a man can force his own destiny through the mendacity of his actions, for those in power are clowns and cutthroats while the people are naked, newborn and stupid.
Am I the only one who is a little sour that he didn't just give in to his bastard inclinations and live a raping, robbing and gluttunous life of conquest and plunder? Just a little... I have no regrets, I'm a good guy. But sometimes it feels like the real joke is on US. The world gives credence to the claims of spirituality; that the flesh is false. Beer rant.
"Corruption never sleeps."
... or is that "Money never sleeps?"
I forget.
Hunter is hungry like a wolf. He's on the prowl.
Scary.
Hide the women, chldren, and silverware.
Don't smile and expose any gold tooth.
re Joe Biden's Son Joins Board Of Largest Ukraine Gas Producer
Your Tax Dollars at "work" - all FIVE BILLION of 'em. Mission Accomplished.
Meet Corny Crony
Bidens Son........says all of the intentions of the US govenment . his sons CV by the way contains a lot of crap. Seems he achieved 6 titles a week. Must be a Hugh arselicker.
This could morph into a real mess. Say bombs do fly. Say some tragedy puts the VP in the hot seat, then say local chieftans chop off junior's head and blame it on the Russians or they hostage him, the son of a serving president in the midst of a shooting war. Do you think he'd be clear headed or would he push every button he could get his hands on?
Do you think Junior would actually maintain a physical office as chief GasBoy in the Ukraine?
This would be a first if he will be physically there vs a phone in job. Maybe we should recommend jobs for Boener Jr. McCain Jr. Graham Jr. the entire Congress Jr.
Then, in a flash we'd be rid of a pox on our future generations.
Wanna know what's really funny?
Which German media do you think reported about this news and when?

Deutsche Wirtschaftnachrichten - 10 hours ago --> good alternative website but really small with focus on the economy
