Biden pardons thousands of weed offenders

Broad pardons like this set a bad precedent.

 

Apparently the country's libertarians disagree. For once I agree with them.

 

All the real criminals Trump pardoned set a bad precedent

 

How many people does this effect?? hmmm
Officials said there are currently no Americans serving prison time solely on federal simple marijuana possession charges

 

How many people have ever been arrested on a FEDERAL simple marijuana possession charge. IMO the number may be low unless they hand the charges out regularly at border crossings or at airports with incoming international flights. Maybe people possessing at federal facilities.

 

But they said the number who had been charged with that crime was north of 6,500.
Like you said, I am sure all of those included more serious crimes

Its Joe pretending he's working

 

the only error here was not expanding the pardons to "trafficking" offenses under a certain amount

 

it's relatively tiny so this is somewhat symbolic. The bulk is on trafficking charges. Possession gets kicked down to the states typically

 

He needs to stop with all this bullshit and act on what millions of people voted for him for and marched in the streets for in 2020,police reform.That issue will decide black and a large number number of progressive voter turn out in 2024,thus the presidency.
