Notable recent institutional events:

- bag of cocaine found in Whitehouse, extensive investigation, no suspects

- two decades of war and occupation in Middle East. After a year of agreeing to leave, US literally runs to planes and abandons millions in military gear in the hands of our enemies

- definitely not CIA kompromat sex trafficker commits suicide in prison during a guard change while the cameras malfunction. definitely not CIA kompromat sex trafficker's aide gets arrested, given deal to absolve all unnamed co-conspirators. No further suspects.

- Government intentionally lies about pandemic policies its putting in place about masks and their effectiveness.

- key members of government intelligence services author open letter about hunter bidens laptop, calling it russian disinformation. This letter is intentionally a lie for the express purpose of influencing the election.

I'm not convinced I won't see civil war in my lifetime.

You lost me here. There’s not gonna be a civil war. They’re just grifters left and right.

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t leading a movement, she’s just using populism to promote Marjorie Taylor Green.

Meanwhile compare today with the political violence of the late 1960’s. Bombings, assassinations, organized groups advocating violence against the government. Those were actual movements. And yet the republic survived. No civil war.

You lost me already. How is this notable?

The White House has a lot of visitors, including tours. This is how people make a mountain out of a molehill. It's a nothingburger. The President isn't snorting coke.

The White House has a lot of security: its non-credible that no one saw the source.

If there was some kind of cover-up here, then why would they even announce the discovery of the cocaine?

Your conspiracy makes exactly zero sense. Grasping at straws.

They didn't "announce it", someone heard a call about it over the radio.

Can you elaborate on this point? I'm not sure what it's referring to.

I would like to point out your clever rhetorical trick where you take two decades of anger about a pointless war and point it at the guy who stopped the war. And every right wing post in this thread repeats that concept, lending legitimacy to an otherwise insane line of reasoning. Good show!

You make it sound like the current guy in charge who “stopped” the war a) didn’t screw up the withdrawal, and b) wasn’t a part of the power structure that started and perpetuated the war.

Dude was vice president for 8 years and a senator since before the dinosaurs.
