Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Which is just another way of saying "we're looking into it."
I mean technically yeah, but that's just updating the citizens that the process is actively rolling. I'd rather be updated that things are happening as opposed to radio silence and thinking the administration is ignoring the issue.
They're pretending that something is happening when it won't. Some stupid bureaucratic hurdle will come up that they could circumvent if they wanted, but they'll gleefully announce that their hands are tied.
And people like you will buy it immediately. I'm sick of the endless lies and bullshit. I'm sick of being ordered to be happy because we're totally working on something until we get in our own way and stop it again.
That's literally the first step that needs to happen to reschedule it.
And the only step that's gonna happen.
Care to wager on that?
I never thought it'd be legal in my deep red midwestern state but I can go to the weed shop and buy it OTC now, they're packed every time I go. Not sure why you think a sitting president (who's shown signs he wants to listen the fringes of his party) wouldn't push for rescheduling, it's an easy win frankly. I'm pretty cynical and even I'm not that cynical.
I mean, you'll count his next "we're looking into it" as full recreational legalization nationwide, so no.
Saying you're looking into it isn't doing anything.
Biden crossed a line with me when he circumvented Congress in order to sell weapons to Netanyahu that he knew would be used for genocide. As far as I'm concerned, that defines him in his entirety as a person.
I do not give genocide supporters the benefit of the doubt.
Chuck Schumer believes Biden can deschedule cannabis. Biden is saying there's a long complicated procedure involved.
Schumer knows how the process works better than you do, and Biden has earned my distrust. I'll believe that Biden wants to move the needle on Cannabis only after the needle has moved to my satisfaction. Until then, he's Crime Bill Biden, and he's prolonging the drug war for the sheer joy of disrupting the communities that the racist drug war was designed to disrupt.
I don't care what ridiculous accusations you make about me. If you could defend your ideas in any way, you wouldn't need to.
You couldn't answer my point about Schumer, so you just dump abuse.
I see a toilet, I take a dump
No. No it's not.
This time for sure.
