He also prosecuted banks and mortgage lenders for crooked loan practices. Biden as a captain in the Delaware National Guard and deployed to Iraq for a year in 2008.
While the Punching Bag Post does not often agree with the politics of Joe Biden and his son Beau, we believe no parent should suffer through outliving their children. We send our heart felt condolences to Joe and Beau Biden’s family.
