How about pardoning someone that did time! You no like small growers that got caught up in the war on pot I know over a dozen people that have gone to club fed for yrs for personal grows those days are gone now in my state but we all carry the felony card for the rest of our life.
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:wink:

PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS NO SAY IN STATES RIGHTS.

They will need to make room in the federal prisons for the magats and domestic terrorists and releasing nonviolent drug offenders should make some! Those convicted of hate crimes can be sent to "reeducation" camps for sensitivity training, the ABCs of woke... :lol:

Returning more Russian lend lease, a typical heavy mortar team, they hide from incoming in a bunker and seem pretty static. These guys use commercial drones and tablets to watch the fall of shot on their targets and problems to solve are called in by the guys at the front, unless a drone spots them first.

I don’t think a Biden pardon means much to these guys, j/s

I guess Leafly is Republican too?
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.

So, I can see why people who love dictatorships are recalling what Biden did 30 years ago. Your kind's recent record sucks.

He did what was wanted back then; he's doing what we want now.

Bernie Sanders is a nice guy, with good intentions..but he has one failing that really annoys me...he is unwilling to compromise. he wants everything, yesterday, with interest for the time he had to wait...
take what you get when you get something, be glad you got it, and keep working for everything else you want.
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.

He has a long history of siding with dictators, including Maduro as recently as 2019. There is a creepy similarity between far left and far right attitudes toward authoritarian policies.

So, yeah he's lovable on camera, what with the hand made mittens during the inauguration, his grandfatherly smile and so forth. But he was not/is not the leader this country needs.

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.


Republicans Introduce Crime Bill
Loaded on NOV. 15, 1993 by Paul Wright published in Prison Legal News November, 1993, page 10
Filed under: Crime/Demographics, Crime, Federal Legislation. Location: United States of America.

The Republican version of the "tough on crime" bill was much harsher and added many new penalties as well as expanded who could be sentenced to death. Democrats had to answer with a version of their own. What was finally passed was a compromise that was not nearly a severe as what Republicans wanted but more than what Democrats proposed. So, yes, Biden served the public's desire for a tough crime bill but Republicans are pearl clutching when they try to use what Biden did against him. Biden did get a bad bill passed but it looks good compared to what Republicans wanted at the time.

Big nothing burger.

Makes for a good headline and disrupts the news cycle bumping other things off the front page like his son about to be indicted for tax fraud and gun charges. There will be more big nothings between now and the midterms whenever there is a need to suppress unfavorable developments.

It's not a left/right, Democrat/Republican thing. It's politics and they all do it.

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.

But he's stuck in the past as if it is relevant today. We are having an election in four weeks that could put fascists in control of Congress. Biden just did something good for thousands of people. But, Biden Bad because he didn't look out for poor old Thumper. That is so 2020. Jan 6, 2021 changed everything.

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.

I think you are showing tunnel vision regarding Hunter Biden. What he has to do with this is all in your mind.

Regarding Hunter Biden, it seems that Hunter may have broken some laws. Joe Biden has stayed out of the FBI's investigation. So, again, your conflating Hunter Biden with Joe Biden pardoning people for simple MJ possession says more about you than anything else.

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.

The irrelevant Hunter possible indictment story isn't going away and will resurface. When it does it will be an old story and will just be dismissed with comments about due process, let it play out in the courts, etc... Then they'll pivot to another giveaway of something that makes some people happy and some people angry. And on and on it goes. Politics as usual. Same old story, same old song and dance.

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.

For real, saying he didn't do drugs on a gun permit and taxes he has already paid is what they are pretending matters? Shit toss him in prison, it is not like it is going to leave Joe Biden in a lurch when it comes to doing his job that we all need him to keep doing.
