With the president’s decision to drop out of the race, he has effectively begun a longer lame-duck period, which is historically when most presidential clemency grants have occurred.

    C’mon he won’t do this at all.

      Sure he will. There are only 150 of them. The rest are state convictions, which don’t count.

          this is a very real statement. There are very few people in federal prison on possession charges. No one found guilty of trafficking is ever going to be pardoned, and no one suggested that would happen.

          The vast majority of people guilty for possession are imprisoned on a state level, and Biden cannot pardon those people.

        If you say so. Are centrists still saying that he already rescheduled cannabis?

            I mean as a lie, since cannabis hasn’t been rescheduled and was never gonna be under Biden.

                If it hasn’t been rescheduled, it’s a lie to say it has been rescheduled.

                    In the context of broken promises by the Biden administration regarding the bipartisan proxy war against minorities that we call the war on drugs.

              There isn’t a clear yes or no answer to your question, since it is leading.

              Are you waiting for someone to be released from federal prison that was only charged with possession?

                I’m not waiting for Biden to do anything. I saw how that went with rescheduling. You want to believe Lucy won’t pull the football away, go ahead.

        Ok, sure. He’ll totally do it. He’s not Crime Bill Biden anymore. Most progressive human to ever grace this worthless rock or whatever. No criticism of your god allowed.

          Ah sarcasm and appeal to a diety that ‘obviously thou worships him like a god’, when I simply point out a fact that he won’t do a controversial thing until after the election. That a simple fact to you means worship is laughable. I wonder if it’s projection.

            You speculated he was waiting because it was controversial. I speculated he wasn’t going to do it at all. Your speculation is no more fact than mine. Yet you also believed that Biden was gonna reschedule cannabis, and that was a fucking lie too.

              It’s a fact that pardons, especially controversial ones, come at the end after the election. That this means worship to you is still laughable. You’re now just trying to be pedantic on the word fact.

              Still mad that it’s just a little ahead of the ball to say that he (whatever agency really) rescheduled marijuana? Boy. Not to mention it’s just another form of trying to be pedantic.

                He never intended to reschedule, and he ran out the clock.

                  Didn’t we already discuss this? It’s not him, it’s whatever agency that decides (afaik). He told them to take a look at it hint hint wink wink ‘it’s not 1960 anymore’.

                  So, you’re still playing pedantic games huh.

                    He would individually ask every federal employee in person if that’s what it took to run out the clock. Or until he got the “no” he was after.
