    Yeah no shit it wasn’t Hunter. You think he’s bringing drugs to the White House now while under indictment?

    So you think one of Biden’s cabinet members was wandering around the public part of the White House and accidentally dropped a vial of crack cocaine on the ground? LOL

    I mean seriously - even if it WAS someone who worked there (highly doubt it) at what level of employment does something like that become a serious concern for us as voters/citizens? Maybe it was a security guard or janitor? In all likelihood a tourist. You’re off your rocker.

    See post #1068 GatorJMDZ has a message for you.
    He says you need to fact check.....I guess he figures powdered cocaine is less damning than crack cocaine. The funny thing about him calling me out on this issue is until looking it up I didn't even know the difference...I don't do drugs, I don't even drink. I only smoked pot once or twice in my life and that was back in the early 70s when I hung out with the hippies.

    You’re the one who mentioned crack - no doubt because that’s what Hunter liked to consume. Laughable.

    You've smoked cigarettes for what, 45+ years? The paragon of healthy choices.

    It’s also a drug.

    There’s something amusing about - “I’ve never done drugs in my life, I just smoke 2 packs a day”.

    Nicotine is a drug. So is alcohol for that matter.

    LMAO you are equating smoking cigaretts to doing Cocaine or Drinking & doing drugs with your gay lover until you pass out in your Miami hotel room?
    Let me explain a couple of things, I think I would be OK to carry a pack of Cigarettes into the white house.

    Nice try, yeah we all have our vices. Smoking is not illegal the others are. If you don't like smoking talk to your boy Obama or Clinton. Both did it in the white house.

    Once again equating smoking to cocane or severe alcohol abuse is just silly.
    PS: Enjoy your cup of coffee.

    Thanks for posting that. I was truly moved and considered posting it. True to the meaning of time in a penitentiary

    My late father-in-law had no consumption vices. Never drank, never smoked, ate with perfect health.

    But he did like going to the dog track. Daily if he could

    I don't think drink coffee. Whether or not smoking is illegal really doesn't matter. It's deadly. It's a bad choice. If you want to kill yourself with cigarettes, that's your choice. If somebody else wants to kill themselves with drug dependency, that's their choice. Neither should be illegal.

    Not shocking, but I'm clear whether it will really be implemented. But glad to see the legal system got this one right

    The fact that you put together a YouTube video directed to me is more than just a little bit creepy, but I have to admit the singing cave troll thing was pretty funny.

    doing coke or pot has long been illegal. So what? Much better high than nasty cigarettes. About 20 years ago I stopped associating with the ash tray types who were trying to give me cancer and otherwise driving the costs of my health ins up. Really thoughtless tools IMHO. The best thing America has done is recent history is the shaming of smokers. Don’t have to deal with them in bars and have fun laughing at them in smoker rooms at the airport or huddled outside work. My work place is a smoke free campus so they can’t even do that.

    Full disclosure I have drunk to excess done an eight ball and fornicated with several women and later passed out next to them. Except for a few crazy types, good times. Is it doing that with your gay lover what really bothers you

    LOL.

    Richard Corcoran could make as much as $1.5 million as president of tiny New College. It pays to be a DeSantis friend.
    Richard Corcoran’s New College salary could get larger or stay the same
    Richard Corcoran’s appointment to lead New College of Florida has drawn scrutiny for months.

    Eyebrows were raised when he got the job on an interim basis back in February with a base salary of $700,000 — double that of his predecessor. Throw in retirement, health insurance and a $100,000 car and housing allowance, and his compensation package reached over $1 million.

    Trustees gave him the job permanently last week, and the new position could come with an even larger paycheck.

    A financial analysis commissioned by the Sarasota school recommended a base salary range from $487,110 to $867,777, with total compensation, including bonuses and benefits, up to $1,547,324.

    it’s always a red flag when someone says “well at least smoking isn’t as <insert addiction>”

    I bet most here have been to a funeral or two because of direct results of smoking.
