WASHINGTON — Federal marijuana inmates say they’re shocked that President Biden’s mass-pardon for pot offenders doesn’t actually help them — telling The Post that the historic clemency amounts to a “rancid” pre-midterm elections stunt and a “slap in the face” that fails to do what Biden promised as a candidate.
There are about 2,700 federal pot inmates, according to a recent congressional estimate, but none will get out because Biden’s pardon applies only to the roughly 6,500 people convicted federally of simple possession, of whom none are in prison, and to unknown thousands more convicted under local DC law.
Biden announced his mass pardon after Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democratic Senate candidate in a key race for control of the upper chamber, last month urged him to embrace pot reform ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm elections due to broad public support — even though Biden has consistently opposed legalizing the drug and even fired at least five White House staffers last year for past pot use.

Anyone expect anything more than nothing from Mr. Puddinghead?
Hilarious.
Rancid? Lol! Not many people use that term. It fits here.
Something rotten, stinky and turned bad.
Biden’s response: “Hey, inmates! Two words: Don’t F with a Biden and never rain on my parade, uh, uh I mean press release. Cornpop!”
I remember that band.
They get it. Ploys like that will be remembered, even with pot smokers.
lol.......there goes the prison vote....and all their friends on the outside, too.
One of the White House employees fired for marijuana use said, “they told us that if we told the truth nothing would happen. Then they fired us.” I’m guessing the interviews were conducted by the FBI. The FBI is allowed by law to lie to mere citizens. However, if you lie to them even if the lie isn’t germane to anything they are interested in they can send you to prison for a “process crime.” (General Flynn, Martha Stewart)
“Hey dude, remember how Biden upset us because, uh, because of something?”
“Who?”
“Biden! You know, he’s like this guy.”
“So what did he do?”
“I forgot.”
Brandon’s Dimwit election bump going up in smoke?
Rush used to say that every day liberals got up and started thinking “How can we fool them today?”
Rush was right, of course. And this is another example of Biden making pronouncements that will make a lot of his base go “Yay!”, while it really does nothing at all.
Don’t underestimate the number of stupid voters out there that are just headline readers. I’m sure they see this as some great amnesty.
After their Cheetos hangover?
What a bunch of inmates, oops I mean ingrates.
The big lesson of the whole Martha Stewart debacle was never talk to the police. And if you haven’t watched the definitive video on that subject, you should, it’s very much worth the ~45m.
Don’t Talk to the Police

To bad, they should know they're No Longer Useful Idiots.
I’m guessing that if one is in Federal prison for pot, they were selling or in possession of more than a few ounces.
In other words, a distributor/grower and (I know, I’m profiling) probably with ties deeper than your typical college dorm
Brandon? Brandon's not here....
Hey. Where is everybody going? Dont you guys wanna get outta jail?
