Well, at least Biden would have done one thing right.


What is hilarious though is how Libtards will refuse to acknowledge how amusing it is for 1994 tough-on-crime bill Biden and his hawk prosecutor VP to announce a pardoning effort a few weeks before midterms.

Bet their poll numbers don't look good.

All he needs to do is make tax evasion legal and backdate the legislation and Hunter's in the clear ?
 
He should have taken the plea deal instead of thinking the Biden name should shield him like it always did before i.e. four years,.. bet they haven't removed his passports as he's they type who would run and they know it.
Announcing they are going to arrest instead of a republican 3am job.

Going back to Biden's promise to pardon federal marijuana possession charges...

Though it may look nice, it is mostly an empty gesture designed to "pacify" justice-reform-concerned-citizens ahead of the midterms.

The key word here, in his "federal marijuana possession charges", is "federal".

Currently there is no one in federal prison for possession of marijuana, and most people who served time for possession in federal prison would have had additional (like intent to distribute) charges as well.

During his campaign for president, Biden said, "No one should be in jail because of marijuana. As President, I will decriminalize cannabis use and automatically expunge prior convictions." And this is not what's happening.
A pardon is not the same as expungement.
Those who are pardoned, around 6000 people in that case, will receive a certificate saying they have been forgiven for their crime (of simple possession), but they will still have a criminal record.

A criminal record, regardless of the crime, makes it extremely difficult to live a normal life. It is a barrier to job opportunities, scholarship and loan eligibility, etc... And people with federal marijuana possession charges forgiven will still have their criminal record and thus face these obstacles.

It may be considered a step forward in the decriminalization of marijuana, but only if state governments follow suit. Which is unlikely to happen in every States.
 
And it's still illegal to buy firearms if you use marijuana - even in states where it's legal for medicinal purposes. The issue is addressed specifically in the 4473 firearm purchase document.

Don't worry comrades, some animals will be more equal than others. And so long as you can imagine that you in particular will be one of those more equal animals this will be great.

Harris’ history as a prosecutor, district attorney, and the California attorney general is no secret. What falls to the wayside, however, is the running tally on the lives she ruined by systematically locking up nonviolent drug offenders. As attorney general, she was vehemently anti-marijuana, refusing to consider reform to pot policy.

In fact, she was one of the most hawkish AGs in the state.

In just three years as attorney general, Harris increased convictions of drug dealers from 56 percent to 74 percent.



In 1994, California had passed a three-strikes law, under which a second felony conviction automatically resulted in an enhanced sentence and a third felony conviction automatically resulted in 25 years to life. At her inauguration, Harris promised that she would "only use three strikes when the third strike is a serious or violent felony" and "never charge the death penalty."

Barely a year after taking office, Harris encountered a defendant who had previously been charged with a serious crime and was then being charged with a nonviolent third offense: illegal possession of a handgun by a felon. She pushed for a three-strikes application, seeking 25 years to life in prison. "When you talk about crimes that involve guns [and] certain sex offenses, while they're not defined by the Penal Code as serious, they are serious," she told the Associated Press in January 2005. Harris' position boiled down to an argument that she alone would define which offenses deserved a sentencing enhancement—and in her view, weapons charges always counted.

She would eventually abandon her anti–death penalty stance too. In 2014, as state attorney general, she appealed the decision of a judge who had ruled that California's capital punishment scheme was unconstitutional, arbitrarily applied, and plagued with inexcusable delays. Curiously, she said the ruling "undermines important protections that our courts provide to defendants."
