Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

marijuana rescheduling

HE. HAS. NOT. RESCHEDULED. A. GODDAMNED. THING.

You've decided to lie to me, so we're done.

Lol are we at the point where you are being pedantic? He told whatever agency to take a look at scheduling, because it's their jurisdiction. Hint Hint wink wink.

You can be done, I just take it to mean you don't like his accomplishments (oh wait I said his, are you going to be pedantic again?)

Lol yup you're being pedantic. On such an odd, little common turn of phrase. But you can leave, I just take it to mean you have no real response.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You lied. Cannabis is still Schedule 1. "We're looking into it" is not an accomplishment. You lied so we're done. If you don't like that, you shouldn't have lied.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh so instead I may have gotten a little ahead of the ball. Like wow you're still being pedantic. Instead of actually responding.

Have at being upset, I think everyone can see you're just trying to use it as an out instead of an intellectual response. Like how you keep saying you're done, but you keep coming back.

No, you lied.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Still coming back after you said done how many times.

Just a little ahead of the ball. You being this upset at that is frankly funny. Keep showing me and everyone else how you rely on being upset and pedantic instead of actually responding to either chain.

Just a little ahead of the ball.

You just keep lying. It's what centrists do.

Lol back to your old attacks huh (made up attacks). Keep at being upset, it just shows me and everyone else that you can't respond to either chain. And frankly how you're at it for a very long time it seems.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you wanted me to respond on your terms, you shouldn't have lied.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

You're just showing you rely on being pedantic. Not even on the reply as a whole, just one item in what over a dozen points. No matter, keep at being upset, you just show me who you are!
