Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

C'mon he won't do this until the elections over. Nothing controversial until after the election.
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.
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
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.
