    Don’t know why the media keeps using words like “allegedly” and “reportedly” when there’s plenty of photographic evidence to eliminate the doubt. It’s no secret this moron is a junkie.

      “Allegedly” and “reportedly” are magic words that keeps the lawyers away, since no media company actually wants the liability of being an authoritative source of information.

      Isn’t there also photographic evidence of cocaine use by world leaders? The very idea in an age of cheap-as-dirt fake AI “photographs” is hilarious to me.

        Macron recently got caught. Don’t Jr got caught at a SpaceX launch numbing his gums. It’s annoyingly obvious that there are different rules.

          No, only people I disagree with get caught with drugs. Other people simply have tissue papers or medical conditions.

            From what I see on the google, it’s either cocaine or just crumpled up tissue paper. It’s likely the latter but you decide for yourself.

            I think this is what they’re referring to: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/14/factcheck-was-cocaine-on-the-table-in-macron-video-with-starmer-merz

            Alex Jones believes it was cocaine, Al Jazeera doesn’t. I’m inclined to go with the latter.

      Because it’s standard

      None of this shit is new, Biden had them ignore it, and so did trump the first time.

      Biden should have yanked every single contract, instead he made multiple and constant exceptions for Musk’s companies.

      The CEO of a company with government contracts blatantly spiraling into drug induced psychosis did nothing but normalize it.

      Like, why do people honestly expect trump to be better than Biden? Why would you ever think trump might possibly do the right thing after Biden wouldn’t?

      trump and Biden might both be bad in the same areas, but Trump’s admin will always be worse.

        I hope you are using “you” in the general sense. I never for a second believed the Donvict would ever do the right thing even from when he was a coke head in 80’s. He always has and always will do the wrong thing and keep landing ass backwards in cash doing it.

        This because he’s the trauma. Inflicting it on everyone around him from the moment he was born.

        If his mother took shrooms she woulda aborted him by blowing up both Fred and herself.

    When people do stupid things you might ask them “are you on drugs?” Sarcastically. In this case it was a serious question. At the highest level.

          It’s actually pretty hard, unless you’re like Matthew Perry and you’ve got a doctor administering it to you in the bathtub (while on a cocktail of other substances). You’re going to become incapacitated long before you can administer enough to yourself to end your life… It will fuck up your bladder if you abuse it long term though (and apparently he’s having these issues).

          The LD50 for ketamine is very high, which is why it’s used as anesthesia for toddlers.

          The real move would be for his provider to just slip a tiny amount of fentanyl in there…
