If it was a good thing why not do it first week of office? Why did people languish in jail for months just for an inept president to buy votes for his party?

Maybe they just now have realized how much money from illegal drugs flows to sanctioned countries and are moving towards full legalisation to stop it.

It's really hard for me to read this and not think of a child, shouting, "BUT I WANTED THE ICE CREAM AN HOUR AGO, NOT NOW! WAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The irrationality of this sentiment, combined with your assertion that President Biden is "inept," suggests to me that your statement is entirely political, since it seems to run contrary to the facts as I observe them.

  “ … since it seems to run contrary to the facts as I observe them.” Are there any other reasons that a statement could be political in your mind or are you the sole determinant for a politically driven statement?

Because people have a short attention span and republicans have moved so far right that mundane things like affordable healthcare/college, providing aid to old or disabled people, providing nutritious and affordable food, ensuring that working people of all social strata can lead dignified lives, responding with empathy and evidence backed treatments to drug addiction, etc are responded to with unhinged screeds about socialism communism and fascism and groomers. So Biden needs to respond, rationally, to the propaganda that’s endemic among conservatives which results in cynically timed actions as a part of the effort to lead a nation tearing itself apart. Don’t like it? Stop voting for self interested obstructionists like McConnell, DeSantis, Sinema, manchin, mtg, etc. and don’t fan the fire with conservative dog whistles calling Biden inept when republicans have shown themselves to be shockingly tolerant of their members that routinely and flagrantly act against their stated principles while leaving the consequences of their incompetence for a democrat to clean up.
