Undercooked meat and he's known to eat roadkill and hang out at trash dumps with his pet birds of prey. I'm not saying those are related but they certainly could be.

Probably snorted off of the back of a toilet.

I feel like the universe hasn't given our actions enough consequences.

Where's Darwin when you need him?

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

Darwin's older, harsher cousin perhaps.

I would take Thanos at this point.

Dude. That’s NOT a brag.

Remember when Billy Clinton admitted he smoked pot in college, but "didn't inhale"? That's when accusations of drug use amongst political candidates became useless for ending their career. Everyone stopped caring about drug use, not to mention adultery, and a whole raft of other vices that would have been a death sentence just 10 or 15 years earlier.

Bill Clinton!? John F. Kennedy consumed mind-boggling amounts of drugs while being president, 30 years earlier.

And Churchill drank like a fish.

Minimum 250 cc, alright. Doc didn't specify what proof that was supposed to be...

Nixon was also cripplingly addicted to alcohol.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yeah but yelling WHOOO! remained off limits for quite some time, while being racist af remained totally okay. Weird, eh?

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

To be fair, it was more like a BYAHHHHHHH

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 30 points 5 days ago

Is that where he got the brainworm?

Just like crackheads arent scared of STDs, so noone should be

As someone that has met a lot of people that do cocaine, yeah that's not surprising. Maybe not the seat specifically, but pretty much all of them do coke off of toilets. It's a convenient height, it has a similar color so it's easier to clean up, you get the privacy of the stall door, and nobody is gonna bother you while you are there.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Okay, yeah, but how many cokeheads become the fucking head of the CDC?

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Well, at least one. That we know of.

I think the Trump cabinet is tired of their jobs and just trying to get impeached. Let's encourage our representatives to relieve them of their duties because they certainly aren't public servants.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days ago

That sounds like something a brain worm would say.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

That’s just who we need in a cabinet position!
