Right on, but who is opposed to defending Taiwan by using the us military opposed to ordering assassinations opposed to NATO That's the kind of candidate we need to promote a little more Peace in this world.
President Biden just fired a bombshell Biden pardons marijuana offenses, calls for review of federal law President Joe Biden on Thursday granted a pardon to all people convicted of simple marijuana possession under federal law, in what amounts to the most extensive White House action taken to date on U.S. drug policy. The president also urged governors to take similar action for state offenses of civil possession of marijuana. In addition, he called on the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General to “expeditiously” review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law. Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I narcotic, meaning it’s deemed to have no medical use and a high potential for abuse. Heroin and LSD are other Schedule I drugs. “Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit,” Biden said in a statement. “Criminal records for marijuana possession have also imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. And while white and Black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted at disproportionate rates.”
Just the overall cost of trials, incarceration, jobs, families. Yeah, I can see if someone was dealing kilos of weed, but this stupid shit here and there is a waste of resources we could use chasing heroin and fentanyl. What's the difference in drinking booze or smoking weed? The only thing we need is a better system to detect and quantify DUI levels. Oh, and to grow weed that doesn't stink so bad....
the "war" on drugs has been a sham for many years. no one is forced to buy "illegal" drugs. The drug trade is just a symbol of capitalism. Supply and demand. If 'muricans, europeans, or whoever didn't buy the drugs, the cartels would go out of business, or start growing, and selling coffee.
2 million barrels a day. Big whoop. The US exports 3-4 million barrels every day here - so this "short supply" is just bullshit. Amazing how the very day after the OPEC announcement, pump prices were already up. That gas is already two months old and the old boys are fucking us again. Interesting how Exxon is making CRAZY money....yet they pay the same puny dividends they did for the last two years.
And why does he have a private voice mail from Biden to his son? Was that made public someplace, or from the felony theft of the laptop?
