With the president’s decision to drop out of the race, he has effectively begun a longer lame-duck period, which is historically when most presidential clemency grants have occurred.

    Still mad that it’s just a little ahead of the ball

    He never intended to reschedule, and he ran out the clock.

      Didn’t we already discuss this? It’s not him, it’s whatever agency that decides (afaik). He told them to take a look at it hint hint wink wink ‘it’s not 1960 anymore’.

      So, you’re still playing pedantic games huh.

        He would individually ask every federal employee in person if that’s what it took to run out the clock. Or until he got the “no” he was after.

            Whatever you say. Cannabis is rescheduled and the pardons happened. The genocide stopped too. And we’re not fracking anymore.

              So still pedantic. And of course you know you can’t defend that, so you throw strawmans at me so that you can wrap the whole thing into one fake little package. Who accused the other of lies? We see it was projection. Just so you can be mad at me. Fun times huh.

                Cannabis still isn’t rescheduled. That’s an actual fact. Unlike your “He’s gonna pardon them after the election” speculation.

                  You’re conflacting people saying “X won’t be done until after the election” with “X will be done after the election.” The former isn’t a declaration that X will be done, just an assertion that if it is done it won’t be until after the election.

                    And I still don’t think it’s gonna happen at all. Just look at how adamantly centrists continue to pretend that cannabis has been rescheduled when it fucking hasn’t.

                  Yup still mad that it’s a little ahead of the ball. Guess you didn’t like me pointing out the other things you tried to combine in it because you dropped them pretty quick. All you have is your weird pedantic games.

                  I also edited my comment about you projecting lies, make sure you read it!
