Joe is trying to buy votes, as he is looking pretty dismal in all of the polls.

So he could just empty every federal prison with the swipe of a pen?

Yes, Article II power is spelled out quite clearly. Would he, depends on how desperate ole Joe gets, remember the victims of those he pardons may be democrats.

Biden pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession

My apologies if you were just trying to keep the thread from getting derailed, but I think you buried the lede -

quote:

In addition to the pardons, Biden urged governors to follow suit regarding state marijuana offenses and instructed Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and Attorney General Merrick Garland to begin reviewing how marijuana is classified under federal drug laws.

"The federal government currently classifies marijuana as a "schedule one" substance, the same as heroin and LSD - and more serious than fentanyl," said Biden. "It makes no sense."

For Uncah Joe that constitutes a major sea-change - and speaks, I think, to desperation. Wild guess - all the stuff that's hit the press is what others have suggested it is, proof that the Dems are quietly trying to persuade Biden to not announce that he's running in 2024, and this is Uncah Joe trying to build up support for himself in the Dem party. Only thing is, I'd bet anything that it's a dangled carrot that won't happen before the 2022 elections.

did you ever dream this would happen routinely in our country?

One of the pro-life leaders targeted by Biden's DOJ sent me footage of the early morning FBI raid on his family home. Paul Vaughn was placed in handcuffs by armed FBI agents in front of his children just before school drop-off. Watch as his wife pleads for answers mid-arrest

The state of this freaking guy...

"Maiden America"

There are around 6500 convicts in Federal Prison for weed possession.

How does one get a Federal charge for possession? I would think it's for crossing the border with weed, being in an airport with weed, or on other Federally controlled property, or when moving across state lines. And U.S. Attorneys don't file cases for a dime bag in someone's pocket do they?

Sounds to me like these are drug traffickers and smugglers who got caught and pled down to possession. Perhaps a few idiots that got caught in airport security with the stash they forgot to take out of their bag.

Either way it's not a lot of people, and it is not a bunch of kids found with a joint in their pocket after a traffic stop, which is what they want you to believe.

There is no end to the nothingburger political stunts this idiot and his merry band of morons will pull to try to distract voters from their utter incompetence.

Yeah, it's hard to keep up with all of their stupidity, incompetence and dishonesty. It's that federal "A Dipshit a Day" program.

No way in hell. There have got to be accompanying, related offenses.

It does not happen. It doesn't generally even get CHARGED outside a "petty offense" instance (think possession in a park/forest/etc, handled by a citation, and those are virtually never jail cases.)

Possess a bunch? Probably getting charged, and going to prison when convicted for possession with intent to distribute. I'm willing to bet the first retirement check that the vast, vast majority of those in prison are smuggling cases at the border.

Possess an ounce? Call locals and see if they care.

Decades ago I worked in a Army stockade. Had a prisoner convicted of procession and sale of pot. His first question to me was “ When pot is legalize does my conviction go away?
He got upset as I explained he was convicted under Article 92 of the UCMJ.” violating or failing to obey lawful general orders or regulations,“.
As I recall the amount was large enough for a court martial. Not “ I was holding it for a friend.”
Wonder about those cases.

How does one do Federal Time for Weed?

Usually a large amount, like a couple hundred pounds, huge amount of cash, weapons and caught in the middle of a delivery or transaction. Most are part of an organized group aka a gang. Most gangs have a history of violence in transporting and distributing their product, along with getting even with people (or folks) who rip them off. Lots of those convicted for drug charges also had shootings, assaults, and murders involved. The suspects usually plead out for the lesser charges with max time than facing a trial on the other charges (those other charges usually depended on testimony from other shit heads or circumstantial evidence, very seldom is an upstanding citizen a witness to theses crimes). I recall one of the persons Obummer pardoned (media referred to her as a grandmother) was in drug gang that had at least 6 murders attached to the case, several of which were carried out by her son at her direction (per the case file but never tried on those charges). Granny took the dope plea for max time to avoid the murder and RICO charges, and then eventually her sentenced was commuted by Obummer.


So SNL is now making fun of Bidet......yep they want him gone:

And the Bolshies try to mock Lauren Boebert after she brilliantly goes after Brandon with “two words.” Their minds can’t comprehend how she walked them right into calling Brandon stupid.

Poor Brandon just can't catch a break

The Saudi's tell him to go intercourse himself 3 weeks before the midterms...

Now the CPI inflation report comes out and it's BAD, really really BAD. THE HIGHEST inflation in 40+ years on this clown's watch.

I'm telling you, the Dems are PLOTTING how they are going to get rid of him before 2024, there ain't no way in hell he will be allowed to run again even if he's mentally and physically capable. Just not going to happen IMO

Did they impeach Trump for a phone call?

BREAKING: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia confirms Biden attempted to coerce them to postpone oil cuts until after the midterms, announce they have rejected his quid pro quo

How did he manage to piss of the Saudi's??

I'm thinking it's the fist bump thing. He should have bowed and scraped like Barry did.

Remember kids, nobody fucks with a Biden.

Biden has been calling MBS, and the Saudis in general, a butcher/s for sanctioning the killing of that journalist, Jamal Khashoggi... This goes back farther than that stupid fist bump crap.

Running his fat mouth as usual, what else?

Back in 2020 during the elections he repeatedly ran his mouth about how SA was a bunch of murderers and bad people (which they ARE not good people) but you CANNOT DO THAT then expect them to jump to and kiss your ass when you need them to save you politically 2 years later.

In short, Joe is being stupid again like he's been for 40+ years.
