Fun fact: Biden has already pardoned thousands of people with marijuana convictions. Asking him to pardon EVERYONE when they may have had marijuana as a minor add-on to other criminal charges is a bit silly of an ask.
Biden doesn't run the DEA and can't force them to reschedule the drug. This is almost as dumb as the conservatives saying Biden needs to do something about border security then not being upset the Republicans have voted against every effort to do something about border security before it makes it to Biden's desk.
*the number of people in this country who think the President is a dictator and can literally just make up laws on his own is terrifying.
Who appointed Anne Milgram?
The number of people in this country who want the President to be a dictator and literally just make up laws on his own is also terrifying.
Democrats said their hands were tied for decades. But Biden's hands weren't tied when he got to support Netanyahu's genocide.
I don't know about anyone else, but I cannot trust that when a democrat says their hands are tied, it's actually the case, instead of just what democrats say about shit they don't want to do.
President is King of Oosa. He make law. Me talk about president. Me listen many podcast. Me give much opinion. Me not know state rep. Me vote every 4 year. Me mad at gas price. Bad president.
This would be pardoning the mary jane offenses but leaving the others
Still a campaign promise
It was one of the campaign promises. Is it wrong to hold the president accountable for what they've said?
And even if he doesn't have the authority to force it on his own, he still had enough influence to make it happen. Obama gets a lot of credit for "Obamacare," even though it wouldn't have happened without majority support in both the house and senate.
