The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: lefties: Do you really believe that some rando can bring in a bag of white powder to the White House and just leave it there? In one of the most secure places in the world and in an environment where chem/bio threats are a thing?

First, the president and his family (including Hunter) were not in the White House at the time. BTW, Biden has asymptomatic AFib so no way he's touching cocaine.

Second, the cocaine was found outside the Situation Room on a lower level, a lobby which is frequented by visitors on nights and weekends on staff-led tours when the president isn't in the Oval Office. In short, a busy area.

Third, the quantity is described as between 0.1 grams to 0.5 grams, so really small.

Also, pretty easy to conceal and pretty easy to 'drop' any time.

Bad look for the Secret Service? Yep.

Believable that they cannot ID the individual? Yep.

Conspiracy theorists gonna' conspire? Yep.

Hey, did'ya see Biden answering questions at the presser today? Man, he's really getting the hang of it. Impressive. Phenomenal foreign trip for Biden. Outstanding.
