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.
Source for Macron?
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.
Yes I always guiltily cover my tissue papers when people enter the room.
You might want to if you are world leader, you don't want people to see you're a slouch.
Good point. I thought they'd all have bedazzled Gucci coke pouches, no?
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.
Yes and..... Is he going to face drug charges.
lol
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
In other news,sky continues to be blue
Source: we could see it.
We know.
I wish Trump would take some shrooms. It might make him more human.
I'd rather he develop a fentanyl habit.
It does help with empathy and unresolved trauma, but Trump seems to be so broken that there's no fix to 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.
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
in other news, the sun is hot
so suprised.... not. billionaires arent people.
"Allegedly"
Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.
What's the opposite of "news"? Because "news" implies things/stories/topics that are new.
Would "olds" be an acceptable term?
I hope he has bladder cysts...big ones
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?
Yeah, you could tell. This isn't really news, just a confirmation.
I hate that ketamine has to take the brunt of this...
This is not how ketamine makes people behave.
This is not how ketamine makes people behave.
A shot of tequila won't make me shit on your doorstep, but 5-6 bottles in an hour who knows what's gonna happen.
There's a difference between use and abuse.
Musk has not been using it medically, even if he paid a doc to write a prescription.
Depends on the dosage. More than a little but less than too much and your body becomes that of a drunk toddler. But yea most people using ket are chiller than him lol
It doesn't turn you into a psychopath. This dude is just a piece of shit who happens to like ketamine (and has the resources for basically infinite supply)
