    He already did pardon all the federal marijuana possession charges months ago.

      They aren’t looking for answers, just outrage.

      no he did not

      he pardoned enough people that other people like you instantly placed him on sainthood status level ignoring the fact it was only a drop in the bucket and that Biden helped craft the laws that got people locked up to begin with

      fuck Biden and the horse he rode in too

          You said he did something good. You can’t do that because politics is now a team sport. You can’t praise another team!!!

            They didn’t even say he did something good, they stated the basic fact that he pardoned everyone with federal marijuana possession charges. It was not even a value judgement, just a factual statement.

        Yes he literally did.

        Why do you feel this constant need to deny reality when it doesn’t agree with your opinion of a person?
