    As opposed to “give money to my campaign and I’ll remove all restrictions on the oil industry”.

      He doesn’t need to legalize.

      He just needs the DEA to remove it from the scheduling system. He could order them to do that. And replace them if they refused.

      Biden doesn’t want to do it. So he pretends the presidency is weak and he has no power over federal agencies Then tells us if trump is president he’s dangerous because he’d be in charge of all the federal agencies, and would be able to replace anyone who disagreed with him.

      I don’t know if it’s normal neoliberal bullshit, but it’s a really bad look for Biden to always be contradicting himself like that.

        DEA is too busy covering their own ass on their bungle with raw active quota.

      That would earn them votes, and they aren’t doing it while behind on the polls, so no.

    I mean, politicians make promises they have no intention of trying to keep when they think they’re winning, too.

    An obstinate old man is going to give our country to fascists because he doesn’t like being told “no.”
