    Well, credit where credit is due I guess. It’s not actual legalization, but it’s welcome progress.

    This was low-hanging fruit that the Democrats should have done under Biden but failed to for reasons I will never, ever understand. Anyone with eyes can see that this was eventually where things were headed.

    Unfortunately for Trump, I still hate his guts. My opinion on him has been solidified after a decade of dealing with his bullshit, attacks on my community, and attacks on our democracy. He could send me a jar of premo buds but I wouldn’t be able to get over the fact that he’s a child raping shithead moron scumbag who is selling our country out and ruining people’s lives. On the bright side, at least I can give an honest answer when people dare me to say one positive thing that Trump has done.

      for reasons I will never, ever understand.

      Democrats’ job is to be only marginally better than their opponents.

      If Trump was better, then maybe democrats would’ve felt the need to pull that lever.

      There is room to both criticize Democrats and Hate Trumps guts. -It’s hard to ignore the fact that this is something Biden said he was going to do and then never actually got around to it… even though all it apparently took was an executive order.

      Low info voters are gonna eat this up though. The Democrats and Biden made a massive mistake letting Trump be the one to push this to the finish line. It’s like they want to lose.

        I mean, they probably figured that he also wanted racist law enforcement to continue selective enforcement against minorities.

      The reason is simple: at the end of the day, he’s crime bill biden. He didn’t want to, so he pretended that he couldn’t and ran out the clock. Democrats call this “incrementalism.” Only reason trump’s doing it is because he’s trying to distract from how he’s a pedo.

        Biden made a pretty big show of ordering the FDA to perform its own bureaucratic machinations to determine an appropriate schedule for marijuana. They did it. It took them the better part of two years. Then he ordered the DOJ to evaluate how reclassifying would affect their department. That also took over a year.

        He did it the slow and methodical way that makes shit work properly in the government. But he didn’t strike the moment it was hot and it sat languishing for Trump to handle. So he did bungle it in standard capital D-Democrat fashion even though he deserves the credit for doing it the right way.

          He dragged his feet in the slow and methodical way that makes sure nothing happens.

          Sure is neat how it didn’t take years of begging every federal employee for a no when it was something he wanted to do. He could ignore actual law to get weapons to netanyahu. Funny how all the excuses evaporate into nothingness for bibi.

            Waa he didnt break the law when I wanted him too

            He got a lot of shit done. He did it by knowing how the system works and pulling the appropriate levers in the correct order at the right times. Unfortunately congress made “Give Israel weapons to commit atrocities” a lever and he pulled that too.
