"Allegedly"

Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 148 points 5 days ago (15 children)

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.

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.

[–] midori_matcha@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

"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.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago (8 children)

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.

The sad thing is, I think his sentences are a little more complete and coherent than Trumps' even in his drugged out state.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 days ago

That's not a high (heh) bar to beat

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I wish Trump would take some shrooms. It might make him more human.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It does help with empathy and unresolved trauma, but Trump seems to be so broken that there's no fix to it

Fascists love their drugs don’t they?

The Fascism-to-Incontinence pipeline is real.

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?

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Hey, can't a guy dance around the room with a fucking chainsaw without people making allegations anymore?

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 43 points 5 days ago (2 children)

There literally was a video of him nodding off, high out of his mind during the inauguration.

I just got a three day ban from Reddit for saying he should up his intake by 10x.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Why are you still on Reddit?

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

Don't kink shame. A humiliation fetish is perfectly respectable.

Yeah, you could tell. This isn't really news, just a confirmation.

Give all of them legal access to any drugs they want in copious quantities. Encourage them to take more. Let problems solve themselves.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Lock the UN in the General Assembly Room with a bunch of MDMA and don't let them out until we have world peace and/or chlamydia.

I hate Elon as much as any sane person, but who gives a fuck about "allegedly"? Wake me up when there's an actual story.

He should've gone with that angle after the sieg heils. "Sorry bros, my bad, I was just stoned off my monstrously deformed and hideously botched nuts".

[–] GenLe@lemmy.ml 18 points 5 days ago

No surprise there. It's good is being called out.

Hopefully he’ll OD in a pool or something!

What? Somebody thought he would stop his habit after taking office? Also when in Rome, get high with the Romans... I don't think Trump even switches on without the right substances.
