If you read or followed what President Biden is doing, part of it includes States to pony up and take part because why? States Rights! Soooooooooo how about it STATES? Where's your felony card from? Fed or STATE? Then we'll really know who the fly in the ointment is
For whom did you vote?
I don’t think a Biden pardon means much to these guys, j/s
There is a common hatred among the Bernie/Chomsky left and Maga GOP toward center-left politicians. Something else that is common between them is their love of dictators, propaganda, distorting the facts and deflection when they lose on simple facts. So, yeah, call up what Biden did 30 years ago as if he hasn't changed his position. Here are three simple facts: Today is what matters. Biden is pardoning ALL who were convicted on federal charges of simple MJ possession. MAGA GOP are intent on installing a fascist dictatorship in the US. Also I'll toss in a fourth simple fact. Elections are four weeks away and Republicans have screwed themselves by depriving women of the basic right of making their own healthcare choices.I guess Leafly is Republican too?
Joe Biden's Drug War Record Is So Much Worse Than You Think
He cultivates a Cool Uncle Joe image, but Biden has been a chief architect of America's drug war and mass incarceration crisis. And he still won't legalize.www.leafly.com
He did what was wanted back then; he's doing what we want now.
Circa 1960. I wonder if Ginny Thomas has to ask her husband's permission when she's in bloom?
Moved it
You are incorrect. If you read the article you'd know that they want FDA approval for Schedule 3.
If you read an composted what i posted you would no?If you read or followed what President Biden is doing, part of it includes States to pony up and take part because why? States Rights!

PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS NO SAY IN STATES RIGHTS.
Cool, I read a different article that stated they were exploring the option of changing the schedule, not actually changing it yet.
His healthcare bill was authoritarian. 'Everybody will lose the health care coverage they like and there can be no opting out by anybody.' 'The ACA (that has strong support) should never have been enacted'. Also, yes, his unwillingness to compromise -- 'It's everything or nothing, so I'll settle for nothing'. And that's what Bernie's supporters got.
How about taking one step at a time? Does it have to be everything or nothing? Are Democrats evil because they didn't take care of everybody? Do you think Republicans will take care of your issue?
At least Joe had the guts to do it and should pick up more gratitude votes for the democrats than he loses, all those who oppose legalization or any movement on cannabis are republican. If the democrats win the house and senate there will be more than executive action taken on pot.
OH YES. That Republicans are dredging up his record on crime laws as if what he did then is stain on his record are sweeping under the rug the rhetoric and policies Republicans voiced back then.
I don't know where @thumper60 comes from. I do note that people on the far left AND far right share a disdain for center left Democrats. I'm also guessing that Thumper is a white male and therefore is preaching from a position of entitlement. It's not like his reproductive rights have been cancelled or he has to worry about fascist scapegoating people of color.
Agree that it's politics. Biden is doing something reasonable that reasonable people want in order to make good on a promise he made in 2020. To me, that's a good thing. It's a small thing too. What is also political are people who complain that he didn't do enough as if there is something hypocritical going on.
No it's not in my mind. I could care less about Hunter Biden. The timing of this action is quite apparent. It bumped the Hunter story off the front page and now the news cycle is moving on and the Hunter story is buried pages back. I would have thought that you would understand the strategies used to control the news cycle. You always keep an ace in the hole in case you need to pull it out and take control of the narrative. I'm sure Biden has a few more tricks up his sleeve to use when the need arises.
Or is the reason why Biden dumped this now to yes drown out the noise that is just as likely the next installment of 'But Hunter' noise created by a couple Trumpkins in the DOJ to take some heat off of all the idiotic shit that the Republicans and Trump's investigations a bit? Herschel Walker FFS.
