You can suspect whatever you want. As long as they make up some other random bullshit to actually say out loud, they can see it in all kinds of screwed up ways in their own screwed up head all they want.

> They pardoned federal crimes. Your statement was about the state level so that is what I responded to.

You're confusing me with another poster.

> It is unclear to me if the president has those powers, pretty sure that has to be Congress.

That seems to be true.

In any case. the Biden admin is implying that this action does more than it actually does. Disinforming the public and taking credit for more than he actually did.

> “The President’s pardon lifts barriers to housing, employment and educational opportunities for thousands of people with those prior convictions,”

Maybe.

If it's up to the federal government (federal jobs and such), this may work. Of course, the Biden admin fired a bunch of people for mj early on, didn't they?

And who knows what future administrations might do.

But a pardon doesn't expunge a conviction from your record.

And an employer can still absolutely refuse to hire a pardoned mj convict.

And a landlord can still absolutely refuse housing.

No one has been or will be released from prison.

The best possible result is a certificate saying you've been pardoned by Joe Biden. Which may actually mean something to some relevant people. Or it may not.

Which fungi? Aren't a lot of fungi good for the ecosystem?

Oh how uplifting, i am sure his lide is going to turn arround and hw wonr have to survive based on charity in future.

Didn't they also think he may have murdered his business partner or some shit? Or did that happen at a different time?

good thing. They were stupid racist laws made like a 100 yrs ago. Alcohol had a much worse effect on the world

Fun fact: I was born 3.5 months early and survived 💪

I see what you did there

3.5 months early oops

I know Keanu is a fun guy, but if it’s so deadly, why not make it after Chuck Norris?

lol, reddit's version of the edgy 4chan nazi

Pretty much only people smoking in national parks or other federal property

Over one ounce was usually a federal offense.

Sounds about right

What country?

This is absurd. So the ones working two or three jobs because they can’t break through above minimum wage when that won’t even pay your rent so don’t have time to file or understand a filing - so the ones who need this most - just fall through the cracks? This needs to be automatic.

Do it fast. This may not be a long lasting policy.

Newspaper owned by one of the world's richest people promoting children working to support struggling adults, go figure.

Screw the class traitors

My twins were born 10 weeks early, weighing about 2.5 pounds each. Our neonatologists and other specialists all told us that they were very lucky to be as healthy as they were and not have any major disabilities. Lucky has meant heart murmurs, difficulty gaining weight and growing, reflux, chronic constipation, feeding issues requiring therapy, physical delays and disabilities requiring therapy, multiple surgeries, compromised immune systems, and more. They're six now and if you didn't know you'd think they are typical kindergartners. We currently have specialists for Physical Therapy, Urology, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, and Psychiatry. And we are the lucky ones. Parents of these preemies need to prepare for a lifetime of complications, doctors visits, stress, fear, and trauma. These kids will have to fight for every milestone. At what point does it become unethical to keep babies alive and force them through a life of suffering? My kids are happy and have excellent quality of life and I still sometimes feel guilty for everything they have to deal with. It is a very complicated topic for sure.

To collect application fees probably smh

Wheres the restitution?

they call it the "new normal" we all gotta just accept it...
