Just casually doing a little bit of cocaine at a SpaceX launch.

Yeah, but Hunter Biden USED to do drugs. That is way worse! This clip just proves the Trumps ain't no quitters! #CheckmateLibs

It's amazing you can just do cocaine in public now and no one gives a shit.

Princes can do whatever they want.

Would be nice if we could do that too. (As long as no kids are around)

He wouldn't do drugs, he's clearly just tasting the pocket sand. /s

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

He has a hole in his pocket, its his own flavor!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Mmmm tastes like nose candy.

I think most of our politicians are on crack.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No. It's only called crack when poor plebs use it, not the rich. That's why there's different laws.

Coke is not crack, seems like semantics, but the Rich do not see them the same. It wasn't a war on drugs to stop cocaine pouring into the US being used by white communities, it was to stop crack being used by poorer people of color. If drugs had stayed expensive and exclusive to white folks Regain wouldn't have felt as strongly for sure.

The same thing with unemployment/social security being a great thing when white people had it to protect their "hard work", but when people of color got to use the same system it turned into "welfare queens" based on a the story of a single black woman that abused the system.

Cocaine and crack are the same drug in different form factors. Those forms factors are tyoically used by different demographics and certainly nudged in that demogtaphic distinction by the CIA and given the excuse to the DEA to selectively enforce policy against racial minorities.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes same base, but seen and used by different populations was my point. Rich bros aren't sitting around hitting a crack pipe, they are doing a line off some exploited woman in their orbit (or apparently like Jr just out of the old pocket). And yes the CIA have used drugs as a currency once they realized they could make both illegal for poors and at the same time flood neighborhoods with it. Believe Bush Sr. was into this amongst other "covert" operations.

You should watch the documentary "Crack" - it was very eye opening, and contrary to your argument. Their perspective is that Crack was very deliberately facilitated in poorer communities. Less of a "hey those are our drugs, and you guys can't have them and more of a "if we feed you drugs, you'll be too busy fighting amongst yourselves perspective. I'm guessing the truth is somewhere in the middle.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

The entire war on drugs was to limit liberal political power from day 1. The racism was only part of it.

And now it’s . . . . whatever the fuck this is.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

first of all, lets get one thing straight - crack is cheap. they make too much money to ever smoke crack. lets get that straight, okay?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Does he keep loose coke in his pocket, or is there a fancy solution? Seemed too fast to open a baggy.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago

Copying from a comment I made on another thread:

I assume it's in a baggie. But he's got enough money maybe he's just stuffing handfuls in his pockets every morning.

There's no way he put a zyn in like that

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Looks like he got the go-ahead for that little bump from his daddy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

He’s an expert he’s know exactly what the bad drugs taste like

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Reminds me of Jonah Hill’s character in Don’t Look Up. “I timed that shit perfectly.”
