By definition:
Nepotism is the granting of jobs to one's relatives or friends in various fields, including business, politics, entertainment, sports, religion and other activities. Nepotism is the act of using one's power to secure better jobs or unfair advantages for a family member when they may not have the right skill, experience or motivation compared to others.

Hunter Biden getting the job was not by definition nepotism. He, perhaps, was given the job by Barisma so that they could gain favor from the then current administration. This was never alleged or proven. Donald Trump appointing his daughter and son-in-law to positions, however, IS nepotism, since neither one was qualified to have their positions. One should question why Jared, who is making Middle East Policy, got hundreds of millions of dollars of financing for his 666 building on the verge of bankruptsy, from the very people who the policies he is advocating for when virtually no one was willing to lend him money. The financial conflict of interest there is undeniable. The fact that they aren't getting a salary, is a moot point considering they are both receiving huge financial benefits by their association with the administration.

it's pretty obvious and I think he even admitted so in an interview

You won’t find an argument here. Great work uncovering that evidence 👍🏿. But if you don’t think Daddy got Hunter the job then you are being dishonest or you need to read up.

but you claimed it was nepotism which proves you didn't know the definition. And since you mentioned evidence, I've asked you repeatedly show us some evidence Joe Biden did anything to find Hunter Biden a job?

Just wait until the results of the ongoing investigation. I am certain the uncovering of the evidence will prove my point. Until then, you are welcome to scream “ I am right” at the top of your lungs my son.

since the only message i saw is that women are absolutely
nothing but gyrating sexual objects who belong on poles, he probably did love it.

because everyone who doesn’t know there’s a kansas city in both states, and who doesn’t know that the team plays just over the
line in MO, is an idiot.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City_Chiefs

"The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri, with home games being mostly attended by residents of Johnson County, Kansas."

Well, the NY Jets and the NY Giants play in New Jersey. So there's that too

I’m pretty sure thinking Kansas City is in Kansas has more to do with the amazing knowledge of geography he has exhibited thus far and nothing to do with sports. It also is a prime example of absolutely no buffer between his phone and the outside world, which in my mind is not a good thing.

No rational, right thinking person would contradict the "pretty sure" argument. That's an irrefutable clincher in any book. Only just saying so might be more persuasive.

I’m pretty sure you will defend him in sports, geography, trade or foreign policy, no big shocker. But for a guy claiming to be the smartest president of all time, he sure is dumb as a stump at times.

Yup. Must be true. You're pretty sure. BTW, are you pretty sure he conspired with Russia to interfere with the 2016 election?

"Today Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri remain two separately incorporated cities but together, along with a number of other cities and suburbs, are part of the Kansas City Metropolitan area."

No I never said that, yes he welcomed it, but the Mueller investigation suggested he just wasn’t smart enough to coordinate their interference, but he continues to welcome and encourage interference if it helps his cause.
