Right when he’s completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.
In the month he has left in office?
This is just a fucking PR stunt and won’t go anywhere.
If it reveals GOP hipocracy on how they treat Pelosi vs their own stock traders, then maybe a little PR would do a lot of good.
The ball is in Republican court, money where their mouth is, the DNC is ready to ban stock trading for its members even if it means expulsion of Nancy Pelosi who married a stock broker decades ago.
It’s a little late for that.
It’s never too late for neoliberals to fuck shit up…
Pelosi just threw her weight around to get a 74 year old with terminal throat cancer as the head of the oversight committee…
Even tho he just broke the already weak insider trading laws 2 years ago.
Biden can mumble whatever he wants into a microphone, but it’s never connected to the reality around him.
If he really wanted this to happen, he’d have pushed for AOC over Connolly
If he really wanted this to happen, he’d have pushed for AOC over Connolly
If he’d wanted it to happen, he’d have pushed through Pelosi’s HR 1 back inside his first 100 days, rather than sitting on this for his last three weeks.
Liberals are going to be doing so much “You could have had nice things if you hadn’t voted for Trump” whining and complaining and hand wringing over the next two years. Its going to be awful. But none of them want to talk about how they had both Exec and Leg branches of government twice in the last sixteen years and deliberately squandered it sucking up to Big Business both times.
AOC talks big game but she’s just a populist. As a NYer, she hasn’t done anything useful for her constituents. Don’t expect anything from her beyond populist agendas
Why do people keep using “populist” like it’s a negative?
Populism is a range of political stances that emphasize the idea of the common people and often position this group in opposition to a perceived elite group.[1] It is frequently associated with anti-establishment and anti-political sentiment.[2]

Oh no! People like her and her policies are popular!!!
/s
Like, Pelosi just got a 74 year old with terminal cancer and recently involved with I aider trading violations on the top seat of the oversight committee over AOC because AOC would have weeded out corruption.
That’s what the people want, an honest party.
And you’re big take down of her is that would have been popular?!
As a NYer, she hasn’t done anything useful for her constituents.
She’s got excellent constituent services, wtf are you even talking about? That’s why she wins big every cycle. Joe Crowley, the Dem she primaried out, had shitty services which ended up costing him the seat in 2018.
Don’t expect anything from her beyond populist agendas
Constituent Services are populist.
Thanks for nothing dipshit.
Making the calculated decision to do this not only in his lame duck period but also right up against Christmas and before the new congress is sworn in on Jan 3. So brave.
Honestly this is more of an insult than helpful for those of us who actually want to see this happen.
He couldn’t and didn’t pursue this when he wasn’t a lame duck. Get real on that fixing your legacy in a month thing
Please describe how he has been a lame duck president. Given he represents a party that is outnumbered in the Senate. And let’s table the Israeli/Palestine conflict since this forum of discussion doesn’t really work well for full history and geopolitical strategy history lessons.
lame duck
noun
An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor.
He’s the definition of a lame duck president right now. That’s not saying anything bad, or good, about the man, just the fact of his current position.
Correctly identifying a problem while doing nothing that could possibly change it.
That’s Joe’s legacy, I guess
