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.
If you say so. Are centrists still saying that he already rescheduled cannabis?
You mean as a tactic to get votes for Kamala?
I mean as a lie, since cannabis hasn't been rescheduled and was never gonna be under Biden.
He asked the DEA to reevaluate which is all he can do legally unless congress passes new laws.
If it hasn't been rescheduled, it's a lie to say it has been rescheduled.
You're the only one who mentioned anything about rescheduling.
In the context of broken promises by the Biden administration regarding the bipartisan proxy war against minorities that we call the war on drugs.
"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention... then that’s what I’m going to do"
-JD Vance -Ensign_Crab
Biden promised to reschedule, and it was a lie. The war on drugs has been a bipartisan effort, and it disproportionately harms minorities. Not only that, it was designed to harm minorities from the very beginning.
John Ehrlichman, one of the architects of the war on drugs:
Don't call me couchfucker again just because you don't like how I characterize your favorite policy.
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.
Sorry, I don’t know who Lucy is, and I’m not into football.
I'm a really disappointed centrist. Ain't nobody doin' shit.
Get real bro
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.
Ok
Hello Mr Crab! What shall we discuss today? Here we have your "b b b but Biden bad!"
They’re just a single-issue voter.
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.
Ahh the b b b but Biden bad! train. See this is the speculation that you project. Are we having fun today yet?
Whatever you say. Cannabis is rescheduled and the pardons happened. The genocide stopped too. And we're not fracking anymore.
So still pedantic. And of course you know you can't defend that, so you throw strawmans at me so that you can wrap the whole thing into one fake little package. Who accused the other of lies? We see it was projection. Just so you can be mad at me. Fun times huh.
Cannabis still isn't rescheduled. That's an actual fact. Unlike your "He's gonna pardon them after the election" speculation.
You're conflacting people saying "X won't be done until after the election" with "X will be done after the election." The former isn't a declaration that X will be done, just an assertion that if it is done it won't be until after the election.
And I still don't think it's gonna happen at all. Just look at how adamantly centrists continue to pretend that cannabis has been rescheduled when it fucking hasn't.
Ok, I'm not arguing whether it will or won't. I'm just pointing out how you're repeatedly accusing people of saying something they didn't. Just like how people accuse you of being pro-Trump when you say things that are anti-Biden or anti-Kamala.
Yup still mad that it's a little ahead of the ball. Guess you didn't like me pointing out the other things you tried to combine in it because you dropped them pretty quick. All you have is your weird pedantic games.
I also edited my comment about you projecting lies, make sure you read it!
It's not "aHeAd Of ThE bAlL." It's a fucking lie to say that cannabis is rescheduled.
I don't remember exactly if you used to have points, but the mask sure came off. You don't have points. All you have is pedantic games and being mad.
What can I say? I don't like being lied to. Cannabis still hasn't been rescheduled, and you keep spreading the misinformation that it has.
You know it's generous to even call it pedantic. I don't know what it is.
But it's a sure thing that you want to keep you mad. I mean you're still on it what a month later? lol. Over, again pedantic is being too generous.
I mean, your lie hasn't become true in the interim.
Like look at yourself dude. What a whole month later and you're still foaming at the mouth over a phrase that you want to be pedantic on.
Like way to show that all you ~~want to do is~~ can be mad lol.
You lied and have been pretending you didn't ever since.
Yeah you don't even dispute that you're foaming at the mouth a month later lol (over a phrase that you want to be pedantic on). Oh are you going to look up if it's a been exactly a month so that you can be mad about that too? Oh man.
Keep up the misinformation campaign.
Again you don't dispute that you're just mad and foaming at the mouth. Over a phrase lol. That you want to be pedantic on.
Is cannabis rescheduled?
More attempts at being pedantic. We already discussed this, you can say I was a little ahead of the ball. But you didn't accept that, you're off to being mad. For a month!
No, you say that because you got caught lying.
Has cannabis been rescheduled?
Your mask is slipping.
Oh, what do you suppose I actually am? What mask do you imagine I'm wearing?
