    Biden made a pretty big show of ordering the FDA to perform its own bureaucratic machinations to determine an appropriate schedule for marijuana. They did it. It took them the better part of two years. Then he ordered the DOJ to evaluate how reclassifying would affect their department. That also took over a year.

    He did it the slow and methodical way that makes shit work properly in the government. But he didn’t strike the moment it was hot and it sat languishing for Trump to handle. So he did bungle it in standard capital D-Democrat fashion even though he deserves the credit for doing it the right way.

      He dragged his feet in the slow and methodical way that makes sure nothing happens.

      Sure is neat how it didn’t take years of begging every federal employee for a no when it was something he wanted to do. He could ignore actual law to get weapons to netanyahu. Funny how all the excuses evaporate into nothingness for bibi.

        Waa he didnt break the law when I wanted him too

        He got a lot of shit done. He did it by knowing how the system works and pulling the appropriate levers in the correct order at the right times. Unfortunately congress made “Give Israel weapons to commit atrocities” a lever and he pulled that too.
