          Typical liberal. Post 1: Denies White House employee involvement, implies it was tourist. Post 2: No no no, we got bigger problems to solve!

            And you are just as typical of “classic liberal” poster, making assumptions about everything and anything under the sun so long as it fits your head narrative.

            I have no interest in discussing this matter any further with someone who’s as blatantly presumptuous as you are. Too much self-righteous, blatantly wrong and corrupted data in that lil shoe box you call a nogin to get anything of value from you or anything you say.

            Get right mate lmao.

            It’s a tiny bag of coke in the most frequented spot. Let them look into it and if they need to fire someone they will. Are your panties really that bunched up over a dime bag of coke? lol you need to relax my man. Other guy was right, almost everything is more important than this.

    Maybe a dumb question, but why would this warrant an evacuation? I get that it’s contraband, but it’s drugs, not a weapon. Unless they thought since one disallowed thing made it’s way in that there could be other stuff (weapons) as well?

    Edit: or maybe they thought it could be anthrax at first, which makes much more sense as to why they would evacuate

      A lot of chemicals are white powders, including stuff like anthrax. When you find an unidentified white powder, especially in a place like the White House, you should always assume the worst until you can get it identified.

      Maybe it’s just because I’m an American that remembers 9/11 and the anthrax scares that came soon after, but I completely understood the evacuation because of a “mysterious white powder”.

    If this had happened in China this would be at 300 upvotes and people would be name-calling Chinese officials for the end of eternity.

    But it’s in America so OK, drug addicts are common there, nothing to see here.

      So, like, obviously you’re a fucking idiot but beside that what are you even talking about? I’m not going to bother reading your unhinged reply, but seriously, it’s not like anyone is up in arms about this in the comments or frankly care all that much.

      Why was it a concern? There’s a valid question, it was an unidentified white powder it could have been something dangerous. Okay there’s a reasonable explanation.

      But again, nobody really cares. Wow, people use drugs. Gasp. Get a fucking grip. I’ve found most people who are critical of government leadership using drugs are critical of the hypocrisy, not the drugs themselves, because they understand prohibition is taking away their liberty. Actual liberty, not the kind of hate mongering fascists call liberty.

      If people actually cared about something like this happening in China, I’d wager, is because it would be surprising somebody would be brave enough to obtain cocaine and then bring it into a government entity in a totalitarian regime where literally fucking killing you is the punishment for possession.

      But again, not gonna read your reply. There’s actually an instance for idiots like you, maybe go find lemmygrad so you can be coddled in your safe space with like-minded shitbags instead of bringing your weird shit here.
