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.

    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.
