Hunter Biden's new autobiography, Beautiful Things posted disappointing sales in its first week on the shelves, selling just over 10,000 copies despite a massive promotional push. The new 272-page book detailing Hunter's struggles with addiction and tragedy debuted at #12 on the Publisher's Weekly hardcover nonfiction chart, after selling a meager 10,638 copies.
It was edged out slightly in the rankings by 'The Calcium Connection: The Little-Known Enzyme at the Root of Your Cellular Health.' Topping the list was poet Amanda Gorman's The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country, which sold 42,000 copies for the week.

Does anyone really believe that 80 million Americans legitimately voted for the “Big Guy? If that many people aborted the “Big Guy” and the rest of the Biden corrupt cabal, there is no doubt that Hunter would have sold more than ten thousand copies of his book in a country of over 330 million people.

Every day, this family, this so-called administration and everyone supporting them spits in our collective face and laughs a cackling laugh and it could've been stopped dead in its tracks except for weak, gutless turncoats like Pence and Roberts. The damage they've done runs deep and I'm not sure that it's reversible.

Well, according to the Newsman chyron, 48% of Americans support Biden and his policy actions so far. Yeah right. BTW - Newsmax also announced that the Biden and Sec Vilsack of Ag just cancelled the Trump created program of providing fresh fruits and vegetables from farms directly to those locally in need. Cancelled out of spite.

I've never been able to understand how publishers can advance authors huge sums of money for books that don't sell. I guess they make up the losses with gardening guides and romance novels.

Why would anyone want to read the not completely true memoirs of a corrupt and senile career politician's crack-and-sex addict son who (1) cheated on his wife with his brother's widow, (2) impregnated a stripper then denied paternity until a court order forced him to take a paternity test, (3) peddled his family's name all over the world while his father was vice president, collecting millions of dollars in payments, (4) has been to rehab five times and is only a few years out of the latest stay, (5) was so stoned he left his incriminating laptop at a repair shop and forgot to reclaim it, and (6) is currently under investigation by the IRS?

Hunter Biden is a household name. His book must be a real stinker. Compare Costco's first-day order of 50,000 hardback copies of "Red Sparrow" by then unknown and first-time author, retired CIA station chief Jason Matthews.

Yeah, didn't buy one...got enough books by obammie and clintoon and the rest cluttering up the outhouse wall for any more...not doing enough 'business' to get rid of any more, although a bit of 'Montezumas Revenge' might help the process...

They didn't mention how many union members were ordered to purchase copies (like with Hillary Clinton's first book)! I have neither a bird nor a cat (or other incontinent pet)for which to use such exalted printed paper.

I wouldn't touch Hunter's book with a 39 and a half foot pole. (Alludes to "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
Oops! I can't say that. Dr. Seuss's books are racist.

He got rich because of his connections, despite being a sleaze with no meaningful job experience. He is walking the streets as a free man while the same behavior committed by your average citizen would have one doing some serious prison time. Forgive me if I don't want to pad the bank account of a complete slimeball and read the sanitized version of his crimes and debauchery.

I'm beginning to think Joe Bidet is a much worse president than Jimma Carter.

If you ever have to defend yourself in a public place with multiple people present, always be aware of the 'tail gunner' or 'over watch' possibility. Not all thugs are stupid and acting alone. One brave citizen pulled his handgun when a thug entered a Walmart and fired a round into the ceiling as an attention getter. The brave CCW citizen pulled his gun without 'checking six', or putting a back to a wall. It turns out the thug's wife was in on it, and standing silently 10 yards back, pretending to be unassociated with the gunman, and she shot the good guy in the back as he drew. My wife knows that her job is to cover my back if, God forbid, we ever were in such a horrible situation.

We're supposed to believe that the New American public adores the Bidet family, to the extent that Joey Fingers received more votes than any candidate in US history. The DNC or some other nefarious agency hasn't bought a load of books to continue the payoff (don't forget, 10% to The Big Guy) as they normally would; could be a sign that the Bidets are already done.
