  1. As the prime worldwide targeted victim of the injustice of scapegoating crimes organised by conspirators former US President Donald Trump and former Australian Federal Police officer Jon(Jonathan) since 2020 when Trump lost the election I have been technologically targeted the entire time and exposed to an immense amount of clandestine and government information due to the misuse of Federal Bureau of Investigation technology which since the beginning of innocent victims being set up for police charges of illegal pornography in 2020 it has been Trump misusing all resources of the FBI technology, corrupt law enforcement persons and election funding in a hate crime personal agenda of misdirected fury and future circumstances that are unacceptable to him.

  2. Buyin’ Biden. If you can’t win votes, buy ‘em.

  3. desperate times for the sleepy creepy sniffer

  4. Hilarious because he's the one that put them all in jail with 47 years of being a drug Warrior. He literally wrote the bills that put these people in jail.

  5. Biden just pardoned the people he locked up and gave a criminal record to. He's literally taking credit for his own doing and leaving them with a criminal record for life.

  6. Yeah, vote buying, watch out for Hunter to invest on Marijuana Dispensers as well as the rest of the Biden Family and all other cronies of his, and, do his just before the elections, Dems must be really desperate!

  7. haha! so they will no longer have a low level misdomener on there record.

  8. Nice to see him step away from his Crime Bill of 1994 that put a bunch of POC in prison from drug possession.

  9. Biden finally doing something I agree with lol 😆

  10. Joe! You the man. I agree 100% I received a felony at 19 because police officers on the board walk entrapped me into selling them a weed bag. As me and a friend strolled down the board walk a undercover yelled "got weed!" At first I thought he was trying to fight me based on how he yelled….then I asked 'what did you say' he then replied I said "got weed!?" And that's how they arrested me. The officer went so far as to wear a blunt in his baseball cap…I mistook him for a stupid college kid….instead he was a undercover preying on my naive self

  11. It really should have been included in the legalization, but suppose its not fair upon anyone, like being pulled over by any cop, anywhere in (USA)

  12. Timed to perfection to dim the spotlight on Joe's junkie son😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

  13. I could smoke a pound of pot and still not vote for Joe Biden.

  14. The 1% English globalist liberal movement, will be found out. These same upper class privileged elite snobs, are also behind the Herschel Walker smears. We working class English, want nothing to do with this nonsense !!!

    They see Herschel, as a block on their aspirations, for their one world bank.

  15. Replace humanoids with androids will be joyful

  16. Fentanyl is a population control device

  17. In a year Biden will be asking why Putin released all these drug traffickers out of prison.

  18. Legalize it federally!!!

  19. POT FARMER DANCE SONG – 2022 $$

    I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot

    You better believe it held a whole lot.

    I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame

    Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

    I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes

    They did nothing but give me regrets.

    My mom had arthritis could not walk around

    I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

    I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack

    After I smoked some to me it came back.

    Soon I decided prices were high

    I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.

    I bargained for seeds from smokers all around

    Got in my truck and drove out of town.

    I walked through the woods where wild birds nest

    Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

    I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds

    Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.

    I watered at night with a five-gallon pail

    Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

    Seven months went by; I thought I would die

    Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.

    At night I went out, in a camouflage suit

    Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

    I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found.

    Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.

    I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags

    Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

    In less than a week my crop was gone

    I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

  20. I don’t understand why people feel the need to be drunk or high?

  21. I like how under his administration Marijuana is still a Class 1 drug 🤣🤣🤣 Good job Mr. President

  22. Let me tell you a one thing. No no one is in jail for strictly possession of marijuana. No one. I work for a PD In Alabama and we have plenty of possession of marijuana and Right tickets under a certain amount. The ones who go to jail or the ones who run or have a warrant during these stops. You can do all the pardon you want but That's not going to work on a state level

  23. Well there goes all the snacks…

  24. How sigh low for marijuana ?

  25. How bring them in ur state ?

  26. Bro, you've just gotten us another step closer to World War 3, and THIS is what you're worried about?? God help us all.

  27. Another play on words for the simpletons…there are NO people in FEDERAL PRISON for simple possession… counting on ignorance of people for votes hahahahahahahahaha

  28. US has fall into politics, its like 3rd world country. Gaining peoples vote to continue rule. If US people can fall for this how rest of world will be.

    I don't know why the scholars, great people can just watch daily politics which is a lie.
    When can we have peace in life?

    Everyone wants power more than money.

  29. OMG Biden is that you?
    Somehow you're trying your way in Presidential.
    Although you're dumb at international level but some Democrats has some brains to show some positiveness in your career.

    Thumb up, but not enough for your overall stupidity. Work out more.

    Amazed 80 years old brain can think this. LmAo

    However, it's a credit for you….:)

    Recommendation: Passing on 8 grade and failing to get college administration does get you anywhere.
    You can cheat the American but can't win the world. Your result will count.

    Keep the world save.

  30. Pardoning is fine, but you should not promote drug use. Would you want your pilot or surgeon to be a marijuana user?
