Probably snorted off of the back of a toilet.

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.

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

Where's Darwin when you need him?

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

Darwin's older, harsher cousin perhaps.

I would take Thanos at this point.

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.

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 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

To be fair, it was more like a BYAHHHHHHH

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 38 points 2 weeks ago

Dude. That’s NOT a brag.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Is that where he got the brainworm?

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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Well, at least one. That we know of.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

That sounds like something a brain worm would say.

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.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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