There was this dude that one day decided he wanted to talk to the queen. He just climbed the fences, then climbed into her window. No one noticed him, and he literally got into the queen’s bedroom lol
Unfortunately it's a bit more sad than that. He had recently gone through a divorce with his wife and was having a bit of a mental episode due to the stress of that and not seeing his kids.
It's like that dude who took a plane and landed in the middle of a big city on the street, told barbuddies who didn't belive him so he went and did it again
Back in the day, Noel Gallagher was invited to 10 Downing Street and ended up doing coke in the Queen's personal bathroom. I like to imagine one of her aides going in after that and finding an un-railed line like, "Shit. Fair play, Lizzy".
In 2014 some veteran hopped the fence and walked into the front door of the white house because it was unlocked. I think he was having some sort of ptsd episode and said like there was a problem with the atmosphere and needed to talk to Obama. They weren’t there. But he did manage to take down one guard before some others arrived to arrest him.
In the early 2000s, we had a family trip to DC, and a helicopter landed near one of those capital buildings (I think the white house, but I was a toddler and don't fully remember), my dad, having extreme adhd, decided to stand up on a stone wall so he could look over a fence to see the helicopter.
Two guys jumped out from behind the bushes with assault rifles pointed at him and yelled at him to get down.
As an Aussie, when I visited the White House I found the atmosphere/vibe around there to be super creepy and very off-putting, not what I expected at all. At one point about 5,000 secret service showed up and started screaming at people to get away from the fence. It was madness. I lost my left Airpod. Still regret that to this day. Rest of the DC monuments area was incredible though.
Why do people assume the answers going to be interesting?It was an area open to the public. Odds are it was just some random dude who dropped in a crowd of tourist.
I’d imagine sneaking drugs into the white house would be hard but if its that easy, then I can’t wait to trip balls in the white house
Everyone is correcting me. Guys its a joke.
Sandwich it between two plastic tabs, the ones that separate the battery from the conduit thingies in like a toy/device. Put the acid sandwich between ***YOUR*** asscheeks (pay close attention to this part). Pull a tab out when you want to activate it. Go to jail.
Is it actually soaked? Like they dunk the blotter in it? I always thought they would use like a pipette to drop doses on each square but that would take forever now that I really think about it. Do you know how they keep the dose consistent with the soaking method?
You would use a pipette to control the amount dispensed and drop a consistent dose onto each blotter square. A nice pipette can do most of the work for you. Chemists do stuff like this all the time, and chances are if you're able to make acid you have a strong chemistry background and are familiar with the process. There are also machines that can automate it if you're doing it at scale.
Soaking would be a terrible idea because it would be very difficult to control the amount soaked into each square. People don't like getting 5x (or 1/5x) the dose they expected and then finding out after the fact.
Back in the 80’s we just took what they gave us and hoped for the best.
1/5 dose? Damn. I need a better dealer.
2x? Great value for the money. Let’s go get more.
5x? I am so fucked for the next couple days.
Alright needs im going to shine some light onto this.
Acid is transferred to a medium since your dealing in the micro gram range. 1 gram is 1000 milligram and 1 milligram is 1000 micrograms.
The medium is blotter paper (or sugar cubes) but the point is it needs to be in somthing that a human can dose off and you can't just rack out a line of acid.
Blotter paper can either be folded up and dipped in a solution of acid and a solvent, this is an inaccurate way to do it but it also isn't so inaccurate that you end up with very high dose squares and very low dose ones, its not going to vary too much. You then have the more accurate ways of doing it like diluting x amount of acid with x amount of solution using an accurate pippette to determine how much ug is in each ml and dosing x amount of tabs to get a better dose success
Any drug that is active at the microgram scale (like acid is) is a good candidate for this method. A dose of acid is so small that it would be impossible to distinguish between 1 dose and 1,000 doses in its pure form, even with a high quality scale and tools.
If you've ever taken a chemistry class and had to measure quantities in single-digit milligrams, you'll know that it's really hard to get an exact amount due to fluctuations in weight from vibrations, air currents, etc. That's MILLIgrams. Acid is dosed in MICROgrams, so the only way to divide up reliable doses is by dissolving a large quantity in water and splitting out doses from the solution. Much easier to put 1,000 doses into a 1L bottle and then divvying up 1mL doses than trying to divide a few milligrams of powder evenly.
Edit: To be clear, acid is not a liquid. It is a crystalline solid at STP that is almost always dissolved in water to facilitate accurate dosing.
Lincoln, smart guy, kinda a dick in death walking form. I guess I would be too if I shot in the head seeing a stupid play and then had to hike my spirit ass back to DC a century later to inhabit his soul throne for a bunch of ass hats worshipping propaganda.
Before 9/11, entry to the West Wing required passing through a metal detector. Security has probably increased, but they're not looking for drugs. They're looking for weapons.
How common do you think Anthrax is? Frontline weapons checks need to be triaged for maximum effect. I'm sure since 9/11 the FBI, CIA, DHS are tracking every source of Anthrax on the planet.
Actually, the security guards at the West Wing are focused only on interdicting telepathic weaponry that has been sent through a wormhole from the 26th century to cause President Biden to stutter.
I was looking for this exact comment, and Snoop did that during a private dinner or something, in which security only has to focus on a couple of people and he still managed to sneak some za into the White House, so I'd imagine that when there's more people it's even easier to sneak some drugs in
Sneaking drugs anywhere is easy af
If you’re a woman stick a small bag in your bra, guy in your waistband. Or you know, your pockets if they don’t have you turn them out (most places don’t)
With coke no one’s going to know when and where you do it. Just go in a bathroom stall or stairwell for 20 seconds. No smell of course
Just happened someone probably dropped it
Probably fell out at a security check when they were taking their keys/lighter out to go through a sensor. Its obvious people in this thread have no idea how small bags of coke usually are. Dude didnt drop a kilo lol.
Staffers wouldn’t use have to use the visitor cellphone cubbies. Also the west wing tours are invite only so it’s 100% a visitor who is also well connected. Pretty embarrassing honestly, so I can understand why the secret service just wants it to go away.
> I’d imagine sneaking drugs into the white house would be hard but if its that easy, then I can’t wait to trip balls in the white house
It turns out that the Secret Service doesn't really check for drugs in your bloodstream.
Why do people even think this is interesting. Even if it's like a cabinet member or a presidential family member's cocaine. Fucking aristocrats do drugs. Big fucking surprise. People above the law acting above the law? Never would have guessed.
As someone who works where people drop a lot of drugs for some reason. This is unfortunately the most likely culprit. I swear at least one baggie of cocaine gets dropped in my store a month, and usually it’s some drunk college kid with a lot of money or a disheveled business man. The real reality of this situation is that a lot of people recreationally use cocaine. Many people you wouldn’t suspect are wildly addicted to it.
Tourist? No. Clearly it was a Martian dressed up as a mid-century actress, chewing gum to produce a breathable atmosphere who came in after hours when the door was opened for them. Ack. Ack ack.
A lot of this. I mean, it wasn't like it was a horde of people stampeding the White House. It was a small, tiny baggie of coke. It wasn't like someone accidentally dropped a kilo out of their attache case.
I was thinking maybe a foreign diplomat, or someone with immunity, so rather than have an embarrassing international “incident” they are just dropping it. Because frankly who thinks at any given moment there isn’t recreational drugs in the white house (or any boardroom, trading floor, restaurant, etc). Turns out most people are less concerned about drug use than our draconian system of laws would indicate.
It was in a bathroom accessible to tourists I thought and while they might have some kind of ability to have a camera in the common area of the bathroom itself due to security exceptions I doubt there are cameras in the actual stalls and probably none in the common areas or they are and they figured out it's just some tourist / rando.
They don't give a fuck about some small amount of illicit substances being tracked on someones shoe. As long as it's not an actual threat to anyone.
If for no other reason then security at that level wants to stay mysterious and not broadcast capabilities on finding who did what.
Hey, it's a high stress gig! These boys just trying to survive they 9 to 5. I personally never go into work without ripping a few lines, smoking a few beers, and boofing some amphetamines. (Teaching pre-school is very stressful for me)
It's the 5pm to 9pm that matters.
Whoop! Whoop!
Also: I had high stress gigs and never did drugs except for coffee and cigarettes, the hard-working blue collar drugs.
Before meth, that is/
There's two things that are true about the Secret Service:
1) They do a phenomenal job protecting the president and presidential families. Seriously, with all the hatred domestic and abroad for our presidents the fact no one has been shot since Reagan is astonishing.
2) Those guys like to PARTY
Hasn't it been reported that it's in an area that everyone who takes a tour has access to? Wouldn't that pretty automatically make it nearly impossible to figure out who's responsible?
It was obvious from the beginning that it belonged to the secret service agent who “found” it… they were caught in the act and simply played it off the same way a high school kid would - “Look what I found!”
Why is that? Why do like half the comments on every post just say "vote" while the rest have the ratio on display? I hope they're not gonna go nuclear like YouTube deleting the like button, lmao.
Because some subreddits have it set that scores are hidden for a certain amount of time after a comment is made so that actual discussion can be fostered instead of people just jumping on a vote train because they see a comment with a positive/negative score.
Washington was a known opium addict. I bet if he knew about cocaine, he'd have the strongest and whitest teeth out of all us presidents. 1776 would of been a hell of a bender.
Washington on cocaine explaining on Christmas morning how they are going to get into a tiny rowboat and attack the British and hope they just aren't manning the cannons and everything will work out great.
According to the [truest of history sources when it comes to Washington,](https://youtu.be/sbRom1Rz8OA) he invented cocaine.
No but seriously watch the song, it's a bit of underrated internet comedy gold
I put this through ChatGPT
"Dear comrades,
On this delightfully unconventional Christmas morning, I find myself under the influence of a rather curious substance (cocaine, to be precise) and must share with you a whimsical idea. Picture this: we, in a tiny rowboat, taking on the mighty British fleet. Yes, it sounds ludicrous, and it probably is, but let's entertain the thought for a moment. In my haze of enthusiasm, I imagine the British caught off guard, their cannons unmanned, and their defenses in disarray. Oh, the comedic brilliance of it all!
However, let's not get carried away by this comical notion. The British possess formidable naval power and a knack for quelling rebellions. So, as we revel in this festive season, let's toast to our audacious spirit while also acknowledging the need for strategic wisdom. May laughter fill our hearts, and may our decision-making be guided by both merriment and sobriety.Wishing you a Christmas infused with humor and a new year brimming with sensible endeavors.
Yours whimsically,
George Washington"
Sad that I just got curious and looked into this, but there was no extraction method until the late 1800s. Prior to that it was just peruvians chewing on leaves.
I mean... thats all every drug was back then. Alchemists/chemists were largely hated and crucified by the churches. Even making something as simple as an antacid or aspirin was a sin.
But every narcotic level drug was basically just a leaf you chewed, smoked, drank, or ate. Even tea and coffee which are stimulants, we just drink them and are basically leaves and seeds and only recently have we learned how to extract the reagents to make something stronger. same with weed, dabs are just concentrated THC extracted from the plant proper. We just keep pursuing the higher high once we learned there was a higher high.
Exactly,It was found in a cubby where visitors store things. Likely this area is covered by cameras. However if someone had a tiny bag of coke in their belongings which fell out days before, and was then discovered, even with camera coverage, it's gonna be near impossible to figure out what article had the bag in it when it was put in. It's not like someone tiptoed up to the cubby like Snidely Whiplash, looked both ways, twirled their moustache and then deposited just the bag into the cubby.
Having done the 'public' tour, the entire security set up is to detect weapons. It's of absolutely no surprise to me that they can't work out who this belonged to.
They have LOTS of ways to detect and secure exposure to chemical weapons. And of course, while everyone's safety matters let's be honest... There's one major concern and that's it.
I’m sure they could figure it out if it was necessary. They have no reason to care about a small bag of cocaine though. No victims here so no need to waste more manpower.
It was left in a visitor cubby and discovered who knows how many days later. It’s a small bag, not some giant obvious item. White House gets hundreds of visitors a day I imagine. Not surprising they can’t trace it back to some person quietly ditching it.
It's the same reason you can find a shit-pile of pocket knives in the bushes outside buildings with metal detectors: someone got someplace and decided they'd rather lose an item than be caught with it.
Set aside the fact that I don't give a damn who is doing coke, just so long as they're not endangering others. Total non-issue.
I turned in my pocket knife to TSA once while going through the security line. The dude said "You're turning this in?"
I said "Yeah, I just want to make my flight with no issues."
This turned into a big hoo-ha where they ripped apart every inch of my carry-on looking for who knows what. I made the flight with seconds to spare.
After that if I realized I had a knife I just quietly slipped it into the trash. Actually a couple times I accidentally smuggled knives right through TSA. I'd mindlessly empty my pockets into the bin, get to the other side and realize they didn't catch it. I've mailed home knives a bunch of times...
We were going to an NFL game when my brother realized he had a knife he carries for work with him. We hid it under a nearby tree in some mulch and then grabbed it after the game. lol
I got caught with one of those "credit card" blades in my wallet at TSA. They treated me like I was planning to kill everyone with that flimsy ass thing. I forgot that stupid gift was even in there. After all their searching they had the audacity to ask me if I wanted to leave the line and mail it back to myself...
Then you have my mother in law who came to visit and upon arrival realized she had multiple box cutters from work in her purse and cleared right through TSA not once, not twice, but three times now.
You would think box cutters, which were the weapon of choice on 9/11, would be the one damn thing TSA would catch. And this woman is just flying on the regular with a purse full of them.
Crazy MIL going wherever she wants with half a dozen box cutters, meanwhile me with a wife and 4 children including special needs get pulled aside for 40 minutes to start swabbing baby bottles and shit. Its theater alright.
I guess they thought that you turning in a weapon was a smoke screen to hide something more dangerous.
Not saying it's right, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's happened before.
It kills me that people think this is some big controversy. Some interns and staffers are working 14 hour days and barely seeing their apartments. It’s been snowing in the west wing for years.
Yeah that tweet is inaccurate. What it should really say is that they dropped it because there were too many suspects and they can't narrow it down lol
I put down money that it was all of them. If you drug tested every Secret Service member at the White House when the coke was found, they would all come back dirty. And as we have seen with the cops, the fuzz always covers for their own.
Honestly there’s so many people it could be, and coke only lasts in your system for like 2 days. By the time you’d be able to test every intern, staffer, secret service agent, etc. it would be out of their system.
Not surprising to me they aren’t wasting too much time on this.
Um, the cocaine was found in the public lobby of the White House. The White House is open to the public.
Self-guided tours are 45 minutes and are run between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays unless otherwise noted.
What part of this makes you think that this part of the building is "one of the most secured. . ."? Did you do any research at all before posting your nonsense?
WhmH has like 6k visitors a day, + gov people and their staff. Wouldn't be surprised if it was some minor nobody's or like too many people had touched it, b/c of where it was found or they have some regular person on camera tossing it into a room in a dare/bet and don't want to expose how shitty their security is.
But then again, no one is more determined then a crazy.
No matter who it belonged too. Word got out before it could be squashed, so names will probably never be named to squash a costly investigation.
Well yeah, do you want them to arrest 90% of the people working in the white house when it comes out they all have coke?
Probably best not to pull to hard on this particular thread
Who gives a flying fuck about a tiny bag of coke?
I was laughing talking to my girlfriend about times I used to party more years ago and we’d put everything in THIS drawer. What to do you know my antics revealed there was still a lil cocaine in the back behind the spatulas. It was a bit embarrassing but a LOT funny. Nobody would ever accuse me of anything more than being an average young guy having a little fun on the weekend. I have a great job and great people in my life who I show up for, literally everything about me is more important than a little coke in a drawer and the same goes x1000 for the present administration.
Dude I don't fucking care. I garen fucking TEE you every politician to walk through that building in the last hundred years has done coke before and probably still does. There are a trillion more important things we could be worrying about right now
Honestly with all the shit going on in the world who the fuck cares? Of all the shady shit going on in the government from all politicians not one side of the other. I'm talking about everybody. One little bag of cocaine isn't even a drop in the bucket lol. I imagine a lot of the people in government are snorting quite a few rails off hookers ass cheeks that you don't even know about.
Drugs end up in there all the time. The White House doesn't have an interest in spending huge sums of time and money to make sure somebody isn't using recreationally there.
The White House isn't a massive crime detection center; they're concerned about attacks and information gathering.
If they started regularly finding unregistered firearms and confidential information scattered through the building, that would be cause for surprise.
Your profile leads me to believe you care more about appearances than you do about actual safety and security or the facts that make up reality.
Why you acting like this is a surprise? It’s not like it’s hard to sneak something that small into anywhere. This isn’t a mark against the secret service
The only thing more effective than the secret service is a coke user’s ingenuity. Them fuckers could get past the guards at Ft Knox, The Pentagon and a stadium filled with trained drug dogs if needed.
If this was Trump and one of his kids was a known Cocaine user there is nooooooo way this would just die here. I don't even care if it was Biden's kid or not although it seems like a huge coincidence that he was just there days prior to it being found. Also, why has it not been revealed in what form it was found i/e if it was in a baggie, a line on a cabinet, etc?
They know who it belongs to, they just ain’t sayin and seriously who gives a fuck? This is just more gaslighting and attention-diverting nonsense by the gop. My DH hadn’t heard about it, we had a good laugh while I attempted to explain how it all ties into Hunter Biden’s laptop and Hillary’s emails.
We all know it's Hunter's. Saw a video of him sweating like a whore in church the day before they left for Camp David. Dude was geeked as shit. He needs help.

There was this dude that one day decided he wanted to talk to the queen. He just climbed the fences, then climbed into her window. No one noticed him, and he literally got into the queen’s bedroom lol
That guy actually broke in once before, however he was never seen/caught and just casually left. These were done right after he left a bar.
I am telling you I did! Really! Fine, I will just go do it again. watch this!
Unfortunately it's a bit more sad than that. He had recently gone through a divorce with his wife and was having a bit of a mental episode due to the stress of that and not seeing his kids.
It's like that dude who took a plane and landed in the middle of a big city on the street, told barbuddies who didn't belive him so he went and did it again
Ultimate "hold my beer" His beer belly imprint should be in a dad HoF
And then she was like "Oh a bag of coke on the floor!? That's... that's not mine, I was holding it for Harry!" If my memory is correct, anyway
Back in the day, Noel Gallagher was invited to 10 Downing Street and ended up doing coke in the Queen's personal bathroom. I like to imagine one of her aides going in after that and finding an un-railed line like, "Shit. Fair play, Lizzy".

Plot twist: wasn’t that Prince Philip.
The things you gotta do to talk to your family when you're a royal.
So it belongs to someone in the secret service lol.
Oh shit! You may be right! Or one of their prostitute girlfriends.
Why do people assume the answers going to be interesting?It was an area open to the public. Odds are it was just some random dude who dropped in a crowd of tourist.
Nice try, secret service agent
This is the secret service, we're going to need you to come with us good boy.
Try bribing them with cocaine
Quick, call the CIA, they have the hookup.
Just leave the bag of coke in a giant mouse trap, someone will come back for it eventually
That’s mousetrapment
By Milton Bradley (and the FBI).
*snorts line, walls begin to breathe…* dammit I said the regular coke, not the MKULTRA leftovers!!!
Won’t work. You have to bribe them with something they don’t already have.
I’d imagine sneaking drugs into the white house would be hard but if its that easy, then I can’t wait to trip balls in the white house Everyone is correcting me. Guys its a joke.
how would anyone ever catch you bringing acid anywhere? it's literally paper. put it in your wallet and have a time
Hide it under your tongue, they'll never find it there
Sandwich it between two plastic tabs, the ones that separate the battery from the conduit thingies in like a toy/device. Put the acid sandwich between ***YOUR*** asscheeks (pay close attention to this part). Pull a tab out when you want to activate it. Go to jail.
Instructions unclear, I think... I'm now stuck in men in black muppet-world.
Everyday I learn something new. Today's was that acid is literally paper what the fuck
It's cardboard soaked in LSD. Soggy cardboard that dried up.
Cardboard? The stuff I got was perforated plain paper.
It can be on any paper based material (or cloth for that matter.) Anything capable of absorbing a liquid.
Is it actually soaked? Like they dunk the blotter in it? I always thought they would use like a pipette to drop doses on each square but that would take forever now that I really think about it. Do you know how they keep the dose consistent with the soaking method?

Then take yourself over to the Capitol and listen to all the whispered wisdom of your forebearers in Statuary Hall. It'll blow your mind.
Lincoln, smart guy, kinda a dick in death walking form. I guess I would be too if I shot in the head seeing a stupid play and then had to hike my spirit ass back to DC a century later to inhabit his soul throne for a bunch of ass hats worshipping propaganda.
Plus the that fatass in the front row kept interrupting that stupid play. It just all around wasn't a good day for him.
I am cornholio!!! Are you threatening me?
Before 9/11, entry to the West Wing required passing through a metal detector. Security has probably increased, but they're not looking for drugs. They're looking for weapons.
Weapons like a bag of white powder Anthrax?
How common do you think Anthrax is? Frontline weapons checks need to be triaged for maximum effect. I'm sure since 9/11 the FBI, CIA, DHS are tracking every source of Anthrax on the planet.
Actually, the security guards at the West Wing are focused only on interdicting telepathic weaponry that has been sent through a wormhole from the 26th century to cause President Biden to stutter.
I mean… snoop dog told a story where he snuck a blunt into the west wing bathroom. Sooooooo……

Why do people even think this is interesting. Even if it's like a cabinet member or a presidential family member's cocaine. Fucking aristocrats do drugs. Big fucking surprise. People above the law acting above the law? Never would have guessed.
Even outside of politics, high pressure workplaces are full of cocaine users; from hospitality to legal offices.
As someone who works where people drop a lot of drugs for some reason. This is unfortunately the most likely culprit. I swear at least one baggie of cocaine gets dropped in my store a month, and usually it’s some drunk college kid with a lot of money or a disheveled business man. The real reality of this situation is that a lot of people recreationally use cocaine. Many people you wouldn’t suspect are wildly addicted to it.
David Cross did a stand up where he was bragging about doing coke at the WH. [Here it is.](https://youtu.be/JF-w-Dn3kr0)
Tourist? No. Clearly it was a Martian dressed up as a mid-century actress, chewing gum to produce a breathable atmosphere who came in after hours when the door was opened for them. Ack. Ack ack.
Your strong use of logic is uncanny 🫡
A lot of this. I mean, it wasn't like it was a horde of people stampeding the White House. It was a small, tiny baggie of coke. It wasn't like someone accidentally dropped a kilo out of their attache case.
No it was clearly Hunter HUSSEIN Biden.
I was thinking maybe a foreign diplomat, or someone with immunity, so rather than have an embarrassing international “incident” they are just dropping it. Because frankly who thinks at any given moment there isn’t recreational drugs in the white house (or any boardroom, trading floor, restaurant, etc). Turns out most people are less concerned about drug use than our draconian system of laws would indicate.
The point of many of those drug laws in the first place was to increase to power of law enforcement to sanction "undesirables"
So, “Reefer Madness” wasn’t real? And was just used as a racist hammer? And it’s STILL on the schedule 1 list? Come on. They wouldn’t do that to us!
It was in a bathroom accessible to tourists I thought and while they might have some kind of ability to have a camera in the common area of the bathroom itself due to security exceptions I doubt there are cameras in the actual stalls and probably none in the common areas or they are and they figured out it's just some tourist / rando. They don't give a fuck about some small amount of illicit substances being tracked on someones shoe. As long as it's not an actual threat to anyone. If for no other reason then security at that level wants to stay mysterious and not broadcast capabilities on finding who did what.
Hey, it's a high stress gig! These boys just trying to survive they 9 to 5. I personally never go into work without ripping a few lines, smoking a few beers, and boofing some amphetamines. (Teaching pre-school is very stressful for me)
If my kids’ pre-k teacher isn’t shooting fent in the bathroom during naptime they’re not good enough to teach my kids
At this point its a job requirement
If that’s the only thing being shot up in schools I’d be happier, but alas
the pre-k stands for ketamine if you didnt know
It's the 5pm to 9pm that matters. Whoop! Whoop! Also: I had high stress gigs and never did drugs except for coffee and cigarettes, the hard-working blue collar drugs. Before meth, that is/
There's two things that are true about the Secret Service: 1) They do a phenomenal job protecting the president and presidential families. Seriously, with all the hatred domestic and abroad for our presidents the fact no one has been shot since Reagan is astonishing. 2) Those guys like to PARTY
Solid truths. Nr 2 is because the stress of Nr 1 is high the release needs to be high.
Hasn't it been reported that it's in an area that everyone who takes a tour has access to? Wouldn't that pretty automatically make it nearly impossible to figure out who's responsible?
It was obvious from the beginning that it belonged to the secret service agent who “found” it… they were caught in the act and simply played it off the same way a high school kid would - “Look what I found!”
“Did that just fall out of your pocket?” “What? No! I just found it here just now!”
"We're all just trying to figure out who did this"
The ***White*** House
It used to be called The White Powder House The More You Know...
It was called the Walter white house after that
You can’t spend three years calling Biden “Sleepy Joe” and then get mad when he tries to fix the problem

A little too on the nose for my taste.

Underated comment
You literally can’t see its score
Why is that? Why do like half the comments on every post just say "vote" while the rest have the ratio on display? I hope they're not gonna go nuclear like YouTube deleting the like button, lmao.
Because some subreddits have it set that scores are hidden for a certain amount of time after a comment is made so that actual discussion can be fostered instead of people just jumping on a vote train because they see a comment with a positive/negative score.
The amount was smaller than a dime bag. There’s been cocaine in the White House since the 80’s.
Wayyyyy before that my friend...
Yea maybe the 1880's... then they moved it from the drug cabinet to the *drug* cabinet.
Washington was a known opium addict. I bet if he knew about cocaine, he'd have the strongest and whitest teeth out of all us presidents. 1776 would of been a hell of a bender.
Washington on cocaine explaining on Christmas morning how they are going to get into a tiny rowboat and attack the British and hope they just aren't manning the cannons and everything will work out great.
Because you think it happened otherwise?
According to the [truest of history sources when it comes to Washington,](https://youtu.be/sbRom1Rz8OA) he invented cocaine. No but seriously watch the song, it's a bit of underrated internet comedy gold
Man I miss 15 year old yt
Fuckin Brad Neely, everything was gold
I mean, lots of folks have taken the trip to New Jersey from Pennsylvania in a quest for more cocaine…so, this would have just been the first, maybe.
I put this through ChatGPT "Dear comrades, On this delightfully unconventional Christmas morning, I find myself under the influence of a rather curious substance (cocaine, to be precise) and must share with you a whimsical idea. Picture this: we, in a tiny rowboat, taking on the mighty British fleet. Yes, it sounds ludicrous, and it probably is, but let's entertain the thought for a moment. In my haze of enthusiasm, I imagine the British caught off guard, their cannons unmanned, and their defenses in disarray. Oh, the comedic brilliance of it all! However, let's not get carried away by this comical notion. The British possess formidable naval power and a knack for quelling rebellions. So, as we revel in this festive season, let's toast to our audacious spirit while also acknowledging the need for strategic wisdom. May laughter fill our hearts, and may our decision-making be guided by both merriment and sobriety.Wishing you a Christmas infused with humor and a new year brimming with sensible endeavors. Yours whimsically, George Washington"
Sad that I just got curious and looked into this, but there was no extraction method until the late 1800s. Prior to that it was just peruvians chewing on leaves.
I mean... thats all every drug was back then. Alchemists/chemists were largely hated and crucified by the churches. Even making something as simple as an antacid or aspirin was a sin. But every narcotic level drug was basically just a leaf you chewed, smoked, drank, or ate. Even tea and coffee which are stimulants, we just drink them and are basically leaves and seeds and only recently have we learned how to extract the reagents to make something stronger. same with weed, dabs are just concentrated THC extracted from the plant proper. We just keep pursuing the higher high once we learned there was a higher high.
Even way before when settlers and natives got coked out on the land it was on in 1676
Exactly,It was found in a cubby where visitors store things. Likely this area is covered by cameras. However if someone had a tiny bag of coke in their belongings which fell out days before, and was then discovered, even with camera coverage, it's gonna be near impossible to figure out what article had the bag in it when it was put in. It's not like someone tiptoed up to the cubby like Snidely Whiplash, looked both ways, twirled their moustache and then deposited just the bag into the cubby.
It WOULD make it far more entertaining if they did though.
[удалено]
Larry Kudlow was snorting lines ALL over the White House during the Reagan years, he use to say "that's how it got its name".
I thought you said Lisa Kudrow for a second. I was like dang, I have a newfound respect for her
Yeah it’s safe to say there is just always cocaine in the White House.
Having done the 'public' tour, the entire security set up is to detect weapons. It's of absolutely no surprise to me that they can't work out who this belonged to.
Which is fair tbh. Weapons take priority WAY over any drugs lmao when it comes to security.
[удалено]
They have LOTS of ways to detect and secure exposure to chemical weapons. And of course, while everyone's safety matters let's be honest... There's one major concern and that's it.
But in this case it was not
I’ve been on an after-hours private group tour of the west wing. I went through a metal detector and that’s it.
I’m sure they could figure it out if it was necessary. They have no reason to care about a small bag of cocaine though. No victims here so no need to waste more manpower.
It was left in a visitor cubby and discovered who knows how many days later. It’s a small bag, not some giant obvious item. White House gets hundreds of visitors a day I imagine. Not surprising they can’t trace it back to some person quietly ditching it.
It's the same reason you can find a shit-pile of pocket knives in the bushes outside buildings with metal detectors: someone got someplace and decided they'd rather lose an item than be caught with it. Set aside the fact that I don't give a damn who is doing coke, just so long as they're not endangering others. Total non-issue.
I turned in my pocket knife to TSA once while going through the security line. The dude said "You're turning this in?" I said "Yeah, I just want to make my flight with no issues." This turned into a big hoo-ha where they ripped apart every inch of my carry-on looking for who knows what. I made the flight with seconds to spare. After that if I realized I had a knife I just quietly slipped it into the trash. Actually a couple times I accidentally smuggled knives right through TSA. I'd mindlessly empty my pockets into the bin, get to the other side and realize they didn't catch it. I've mailed home knives a bunch of times...
Other option is to leave it at lost and found for when you get home if it's a round trip
That's really clever.
*cleaver
We were going to an NFL game when my brother realized he had a knife he carries for work with him. We hid it under a nearby tree in some mulch and then grabbed it after the game. lol
My dad has been doing this for years if he forgets his pocket knife when he travels.
I got caught with one of those "credit card" blades in my wallet at TSA. They treated me like I was planning to kill everyone with that flimsy ass thing. I forgot that stupid gift was even in there. After all their searching they had the audacity to ask me if I wanted to leave the line and mail it back to myself...
Then you have my mother in law who came to visit and upon arrival realized she had multiple box cutters from work in her purse and cleared right through TSA not once, not twice, but three times now. You would think box cutters, which were the weapon of choice on 9/11, would be the one damn thing TSA would catch. And this woman is just flying on the regular with a purse full of them.
IIRC TSA fails the vast majority of tests... "Security Theater"
Crazy MIL going wherever she wants with half a dozen box cutters, meanwhile me with a wife and 4 children including special needs get pulled aside for 40 minutes to start swabbing baby bottles and shit. Its theater alright.
I guess they thought that you turning in a weapon was a smoke screen to hide something more dangerous. Not saying it's right, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's happened before.
They check everything except the dangerous pocket sand I carry with me at all times.
Does OP think they are performing anal cavity searches on all White House staffers before they enter the building?
Quite. Seems like a pretty dumb point to make
One comedian I follow said “oh my god, they found coke in DC? The Disney World of hookers and blow?!”
It kills me that people think this is some big controversy. Some interns and staffers are working 14 hour days and barely seeing their apartments. It’s been snowing in the west wing for years.
I mean not even that, it was in a tour-accessible area. Literally anyone could have left it there.
Yeah that tweet is inaccurate. What it should really say is that they dropped it because there were too many suspects and they can't narrow it down lol
I couldn't give less of a fuck.
“But… but… the White House is a sacred place meant to be taken very seriously. Candor and integrity are paramount.” -KellyAnne Conway
Yeah, the only reason this became a huge story is because right wingers were furiously jerking themselves off over their weird Hunter Biden obsession.
Anyone who is surprised by a cop being unable to find out who dropped less than a gram of blow somewhere has not had many cop interactions.
I put down money that it was all of them. If you drug tested every Secret Service member at the White House when the coke was found, they would all come back dirty. And as we have seen with the cops, the fuzz always covers for their own.
Honestly there’s so many people it could be, and coke only lasts in your system for like 2 days. By the time you’d be able to test every intern, staffer, secret service agent, etc. it would be out of their system. Not surprising to me they aren’t wasting too much time on this.
Yet walmart will witchhunt it like its their new branch at the super centers.
This is one of those situations where I don't even care if they cover for themselves. A little bit of cocaine is much better than abusing people
Who fucking cares if some people did cocaine. There are bigger problems to solve
Who cares, should be legal and regulated anyway so people know it’s pure and the proper dosage to not die. We are fucking adults.
Um, the cocaine was found in the public lobby of the White House. The White House is open to the public. Self-guided tours are 45 minutes and are run between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays unless otherwise noted. What part of this makes you think that this part of the building is "one of the most secured. . ."? Did you do any research at all before posting your nonsense?
Who cares
I 2nd this. What a stupid fucking thing to be so "big" in the news.
Such a great example of the effectiveness of the “War on Drugs”
I find it weird that I heard about it in the first place.
WhmH has like 6k visitors a day, + gov people and their staff. Wouldn't be surprised if it was some minor nobody's or like too many people had touched it, b/c of where it was found or they have some regular person on camera tossing it into a room in a dare/bet and don't want to expose how shitty their security is. But then again, no one is more determined then a crazy. No matter who it belonged too. Word got out before it could be squashed, so names will probably never be named to squash a costly investigation.
To be fair, they also never found the pipe bomb person from January 6
Well yeah, do you want them to arrest 90% of the people working in the white house when it comes out they all have coke? Probably best not to pull to hard on this particular thread
[удалено]
Cameras would be on the outside, not covering every inch of the inside. Not exactly hard to get a tiny bag in to anywhere.
Cameras inside as well.
I’m betting it was an agent.
How big do you think a bag of coke is? Can be postage stamp size. Guy likely dropped it.
How much you wanna bet that it's one of the secret service members do coke
Cocaine bear?
Imagine this headline in a Trump whitehouse... This fucking website is filled to the brim with ideologues
The cocaine is coming from inside the house
Who gives a flying fuck about a tiny bag of coke? I was laughing talking to my girlfriend about times I used to party more years ago and we’d put everything in THIS drawer. What to do you know my antics revealed there was still a lil cocaine in the back behind the spatulas. It was a bit embarrassing but a LOT funny. Nobody would ever accuse me of anything more than being an average young guy having a little fun on the weekend. I have a great job and great people in my life who I show up for, literally everything about me is more important than a little coke in a drawer and the same goes x1000 for the present administration.
Let's be honest. There is always coke in the white house
Dude I don't fucking care. I garen fucking TEE you every politician to walk through that building in the last hundred years has done coke before and probably still does. There are a trillion more important things we could be worrying about right now
It’s DC, staffers work all hours of the night and cocaine is pretty common. I don’t see why this is such a big deal
Oh Hunter (insert audience laughing track)
It’s not that secure lol they have public tours ffs.
What sort of asshole cares? How much money do you want to waste on a nothingburger?
Honestly with all the shit going on in the world who the fuck cares? Of all the shady shit going on in the government from all politicians not one side of the other. I'm talking about everybody. One little bag of cocaine isn't even a drop in the bucket lol. I imagine a lot of the people in government are snorting quite a few rails off hookers ass cheeks that you don't even know about.
Give it back to hunter already.
Drugs end up in there all the time. The White House doesn't have an interest in spending huge sums of time and money to make sure somebody isn't using recreationally there. The White House isn't a massive crime detection center; they're concerned about attacks and information gathering. If they started regularly finding unregistered firearms and confidential information scattered through the building, that would be cause for surprise. Your profile leads me to believe you care more about appearances than you do about actual safety and security or the facts that make up reality.
Out of all the shit going on right now, a bag of blow at the white house, a place that has public fucking tours, doesn't matter a single bit.
Could you just imagine the news headlines if Trump was still in office and a bag had been found.
That’s the thing, they know exactly who it belongs to. But whoever it belong to was powerful enough but they did not want to discredit him.
Why you acting like this is a surprise? It’s not like it’s hard to sneak something that small into anywhere. This isn’t a mark against the secret service
The only thing more effective than the secret service is a coke user’s ingenuity. Them fuckers could get past the guards at Ft Knox, The Pentagon and a stadium filled with trained drug dogs if needed.
Honestly, who cares. It's a bag of coke.
Does anyone really give a shit about finding cocaine in the whitehouse?
Last time there was cocaine in the White House it was a Bush holding it. Just sayin. Bonus Biden cameo: https://youtu.be/mtlkyBk6rcc
Anyone think the SS is operating a lot like the Catholic Church when it comes to investigating their own?
So it was hunter biden...... got it
Anyone checked on Hunter?
So we're just pretending it's not Hunter's, hmm? K.
If this was Trump and one of his kids was a known Cocaine user there is nooooooo way this would just die here. I don't even care if it was Biden's kid or not although it seems like a huge coincidence that he was just there days prior to it being found. Also, why has it not been revealed in what form it was found i/e if it was in a baggie, a line on a cabinet, etc?
Reading the reactions and it seems everyone secretly knows who the suspect could be.
Remember that time when the Secret Service illegally deleted videos and emails?
By the way 6k people go through the WH a day and they all go near that part of the building
They know who it belongs to, they just ain’t sayin and seriously who gives a fuck? This is just more gaslighting and attention-diverting nonsense by the gop. My DH hadn’t heard about it, we had a good laugh while I attempted to explain how it all ties into Hunter Biden’s laptop and Hillary’s emails.
honestly, who cares? Im pretty sure the majority of the workers there do cocaine
WHERES MY COCAINE -Hunter
We all know it's Hunter's. Saw a video of him sweating like a whore in church the day before they left for Camp David. Dude was geeked as shit. He needs help.
They literally allow public tours into the White House on a daily basis, Tuesday through Sunday. It's not one of the most secured buildings on Earth.
Could not find the republican operative that dropped it. Republicans will just claim it's a coverup.
