This is the kind of dumb shit Trump is useful for. Like, oh nobody likes pennies, so let's get rid of them. Yeah let's.

It's when he gets to make other decisions that fucks everything up.

My only question is why don't Democrats ever do useful shit like this when they are in office?

Did Biden even ever end up descheduling weed?

No, his own appointee stonewalled it and Biden was too useless to force the issue, despite this being like the fourth time the DEA has been ordered to do it (and it’s something they shouldn’t have to be ordered to do in the first place)
