With the president’s decision to drop out of the race, he has effectively begun a longer lame-duck period, which is historically when most presidential clemency grants have occurred.

    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.

                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.
