3 failed wars, rampant non self supporting immigration, multiple invasions of border breachers, lousy jobs if you can land one and he’s worried about freeing druggies.

There must be an election coming up 😂
We need Cures And security , not marijuana .
Dude… There are… Like 200 to 300 people… Being missled a day… including innocent Civilians… In a Like Gaza safe zone… What do you plan to do Mr. President Joe Biden?
What I don’t understand is how are we Americans but only some of us have access to medicine
Naw pardon all of them we’ve have wasted so much money on appeals on money already spent let ‘em all go you all have decriminalized Crime all over the country
So tired of hearing this stupid garbage, they are so full of poo they wont even consider just descheduling it but instead want to forgive some people so they can just put charges on the next guy. I hope the mass amount of Americans realize how stupid this is.
Free the weed!
This does absolutely nothing for regular Marijuana offenses. It doesn't free you from state charges either.
after he put people in jail for decades while his son openly smokes crack in front of the whole world!
USA will be removed . Amen .
Please read before believing the media….PROOF!
THIS IS OK WITH DEMOCRATS?!
The Georgia residents receiving clemency were Anthony Ewing of Union City and Darryl Allen Winkfield of Augusta, both of whom were convicted on charges related to cocaine. Ewing was convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and crack in an Illinois federal court. He was sentenced in 2017 to 20 years in prison and 10 years of supervised release.
Winkfield was convicted of drug offenses related to possession and distribution of cocaine the Southern District of Georgia. He was sentenced in 1998 to life in prison and 10 years of supervised release.
The White House said Ewing and Winkfield’s prison sentences will now expire on April 20. The terms of their supervised release will remain, and both men must comply with all other conditions of their sentences.
The other nine people granted clemency also were convicted of various drug offenses involving cocaine, crack or methamphetamine.
People of America. Joe Biden and the Democrats are guilty for the invasion of America. Which is treason.
…create the problem then claim to be the solution… government as usual
Thank you sir, keep kicking trumps butt
Hes lying agian. Just like he was going to forgive student loans
It should be illegal and stay illegal and I smoke Occasionally mind youv
Shout out to Bill Clinton and putting in drug users in jail. Racist or not 😂
When will Joe do a press conference in the press room ?
Most transparent lie ever
Trump: Uses Presidential pardons as a personal “get out of jail free” card for crimes committed by himself and his cronies
Biden: Uses Presidential pardons as the founding fathers intended, as a last check and balance to save ordinary citizens from miscarriages of justice
😂 this dude trying to get all the potheads to vote for him haha no dude I smoke everyday and went to jail for it 15 years ago. And still not voting for a liberal trump 2020
Does he think that’s going to gain him votes
Its amazing how out of touch people are. That map was beyond obviously wrong.
It was your bill a-hole! This jrkoff has gotta go!
Wrong. North dakota is only medical.
So he’s basically in his last death throes of desperation employing the stoners that he’s completely ignored up until reelection time to vote for him I will not be voting for him despite the fact that I like to protect every now and then I’d rather smoke never again the rest of my life and I feel bad for another 4 Years!
Yeah that will get you elected hahahahah
Who lost their cocaine in the White House?
Joe is a KOOL KAT! He I think should NOT run again. Joe isn't a LIAR like trumpster was and is. Joe means well but it's time to pass the torch to another.
A Great idea. Thanks 😅. And legalize cannabis weed. There are so many new things that many people have found out today that is very good!!! It’s not like what they knew in the past. It’s very good for many other things. It works better than medication and not side affects. And much more. And very good for simple things. And healing. This was never known before. It’s time to stop and think about it. And legalize cannabis weed. It’s not like back in the 70’s . I have learned so much more. I was never into it. But I have learned some much more. I have spoken with Doctors and Nurses about this, and others and we’re blown away. So stop and just give it a big chance. Ok . We have fought with this way to long. 🎉🇺🇸🇮🇱🎄⭐️📣🎤🙏😎
Fun facts. Domocrats removed pres Lincoln, the 1st Republican candidate, the president that ended slavery for Democrats from the ballot as well. Illegal imagrints are allowed to vote in local elections in DC, cities in California and most cities in MD.
Democrats just removed a presedetal canadite, without due process or equal protection sited in the same 14 amendment that they are using to remove said presidential candidate. They are openly suspending the 2nd amendment as well in several cities.
At this point, any sypport for any democrot is supporting them taking away your constitutional God given rights.
Decriminalization for holding is great but what about those people who drive when they are high? As a former marijuana smoker I can attest to the fact that reaction times are a lot slower when you are high. How are police going to ascertain if someone is high without any smells or substance in the vehicle? Marijuana stays in the bloodstream for a month. What test can be given to unequivocally determine a driver's ability to operate their vehicle?
Whats next a reprieve from coke use hummm !
He's trying anything to get the youngsters to think he's a hipster. lol
Do it Joe! All of it my man.
Biden buying down votes from the liberal dope smokers!
The map at 0:37 is completely wrong
Just in time for reelections
Why not legalize it before Trump makes it a campaign promise? Do the Democrats even WANT to win???
❤❤❤ Biden
This is a build up to pardoning certain cocaine offenses coupled with certain weapons charges. 🤣
