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.

Source: we could see it.
The sad thing is, I think his sentences are a little more complete and coherent than Trumps' even in his drugged out state.
That's not a high (heh) bar to beat
"Allegedly"
Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.
I wish Trump would take some shrooms. It might make him more human.
It does help with empathy and unresolved trauma, but Trump seems to be so broken that there's no fix to it

I'd rather he develop a fentanyl habit.

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.
Has anyone else noticed that we don't have many dystopian/apocalyptic movies but way more documentaries these days?
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you're rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they're billionaires.
Cannabis is the stupidest example imo, it's criminalisation causes more harm than good, it's the kingpins and people profiting off of prisoners, pushing and advocating for continued criminalisation.
Private prisons are one of the worse outcomes of austerity, it encourages laws like this just to send as many poor people to prison as possible just so they can line their pockets, the most braindead one being the conjoined enterprise laws in the UK, which is a perfect case study as to why austerity which is musks entire strategy for economic prosperity, is a grift which is only ever capable of working for your government if there's a scapegoat which you can blame your economic strategy failing on.
The only real issue I have with smoking weed is the lung cancer bit, but cigs apparently are perfectly fine 🤷♂️

Yeah, you could tell. This isn't really news, just a confirmation.
I just got a three day ban from Reddit for saying he should up his intake by 10x.
Why are you still on Reddit?
Don't kink shame. A humiliation fetish is perfectly respectable.
