Oh, never mind, I found it. https://nypost.com/2022/04/09/hunter-biden-frequently-covered-family-expenses-texts-reveal/ I guess Joe saved a lot when he was VP. Easy to do when third parties are paying your bills. Don't know, where did Kavanaugh get the money to pay hiss debts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IDK, the range of his debt was reported to be between $60 and $200k. With an income of around $250k, $60,000 is manageable, $200,000 raises some flags.

How could he not have that much money? There's also the minor fact that he signed a ten million dollar book deal two years earlier. But sure... Hunter occasionally paying a thousand dollars for home repairs that Joe would reimburse him for is clearly the answer.

The idea that you think that means corruption is laughable. It tells me you get all your material from right wing media, and repost it without ever learning about the underlying issues. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The idea that you think that means corruption is laughable. It tells me you get all your material from right wing media, and repost it without ever learning about the underlying issues. As a former loan officer I can tell you that when revolving debt (credit cards) exceed 25% of THI (total household income) it raises a concern. When that debt is accrued in a short period it is a greater concern. When that debt is paid off in a short period, without a valid explanation, it raises yet more red flags. Explanation given, no snark required. BTW, Home equity loan in 20 minutes? Not after the Dodd Frank act. More like twenty days.

kallend 1,611 #183 April 27, 2022 BFD. I have $250k+ immediately available and I'm just a modest retired academic. And that's not even putting it against my house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter- Hey dad, could I ask a favor? Joe- Sure son what is it? Hunter- Can you lend me $800,000? Joe- No problamo Champ, let me get my checkbook Hunter- Don’t you want to know why I need to borrow nearly a million dollars? Joe- Why no son, that would be none of my business. Yup, I’ll bet it went down just like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
