      Biden already pardoned people convicted for simple possession of marijuana back in Oct 2022.

      And in December 2023, expanded that for the offenses of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana, regardless of whether they had been charged with or prosecuted for the offenses on or before that date.

          How would you know if anyone kept it up? You didn’t follow it the first time and just wanted to be outraged.

            Jesus christ maybe give them some credit for acknowledging they didn’t know? It’s not the like news was too keen on stories highlighting the positive notes of his administration.

            That screeching noise you hear is the sound of them backtracking, hard.

        no he did not

        he pardoned enough people that other people like you instantly placed him on sainthood status level ignoring the fact it was only a drop in the bucket and that Biden helped craft the laws that got people locked up to begin with

        fuck Biden and the horse he rode in too

            You said he did something good. You can’t do that because politics is now a team sport. You can’t praise another team!!!

              They didn’t even say he did something good, they stated the basic fact that he pardoned everyone with federal marijuana possession charges. It was not even a value judgement, just a factual statement.
