The White House refused to take a stance on the ethical considerations of members of Congress trading stock while a proposed ban is gaining steam in the U.S. Senate.

Biden doesn’t want to upset his former colleagues, but he probably isn’t in favor of it. Too risky and requires at least some expertise. He is obviously partial to the old school method used by politicians for wealth-building, proven to work well for at least the last several thousands of years.
We know biden took a $1.5 billion dollar bribe from the communist chines plus many other bribes. He is one of many in congress that are criminals.
If Congress doesn’t have to follow the rules, we don’t either. Go ahead...
Can anyone think of one constructive thing in America’s interest Biden has done since taking office. There has to be something.

<><>Biden-linked Lobbyist Bought Island Property from Biden’s Brother, Gave Him Mtg Loan
<><>Lobbyist got two Federal Emergency Mgmt Agency govt contracts worth $5.8M in 2010.
<><> Lobbyist was decade-long Senate staffer for Joe Biden
Financial records reviewed by Politico show that Joe Biden’s brother James sold one of his three parcels of land in the U.S. Virgin Islands at a substantial profit to a well-connected lobbyist who then extended a mortgage to James on the remaining two parcels.
In May 2005, James Biden purchased an acre of land on Water Island for $150,000. He then applied for and received an easement to divide the property into three plots, one of which he sold to lobbyist Scott Green — a decade-long Senate staffer for Joe Biden in the 1980s — for $150,000. James had initially purchased all three parcels for $150,000, meaning that he made his money back and was able to keep the major one acre plot for himself.
