Biden is pardoning folks for federal charges related to possession of Marijuana. He could have done this first day in office. But it is more auspicious to wait til election time. Think, he left people in prison for 2 years for political gain. Democrats can't win me like this.
@MrFanatiq Better late than never. Give the man literally 1 point.
@PDXsBURNING So for the people who lost 2 additional years of their lives we should say suck it up as "at least it happened?" He's using you as a pawn at the cost of TWO WHOLE YEARS OF YOUR LIFE, but he still gets a point? Naw.
@MrFanatiq @PDXsBURNING Better now than them potentially waiting another 6 years if a republican won. This is is a big W for the community overall
@Tyrone2Nice @MrFanatiq Agreed. It's not that he gets some kind of incredible, disproportionate amount of praise but it's still a good thing no matter what imperfection you highlight. It's like if you were hungry and I gave you enough oatmeal to feed you for ten years...like...THANK YOU but ugh lol.
@PDXsBURNING @Tyrone2Nice How about you're hungry, I know it, and I do nothing, until one day there is a documentary being filmed about me. Then I do it, despite walking past you EVERY DAY for a month ignoring your hunger. You'd be thankful for the food, but the sight of the cameras says everything.
@MrFanatiq @Tyrone2Nice The sight of the cameras doesn't take the food out of my mouth. That's the point I feel like is being glossed over here. Probably a little late in the evening to get into a big thing but maybe we can talk about this some time soon? We've never talked directly before iirc.
@PDXsBURNING @Tyrone2Nice Have no idea who you are, but sure we can talk whenever. Again it doesn't take food out of your mouth, but it wouldn't paint the individual as truly caring right? You would see through his "nice guy act" for sure right?
@MrFanatiq @Tyrone2Nice I didn't say "Biden is truly caring and we should praise him for that benevolence!" and in fact I said the exact opposite quite a few times. Yes, it's valid to argue that the "timing" is politically motivated and convenient but that doesn't completely nullify the act.
