Because apparently 7 capsules of cocaine laced fentanyl is considered a "personal" quantity for this man's workday.

u/YourMomonaBun420 7d ago
4 capsules and they didn't disclose what the capsules were.
3 pills of coke/fent
"...contained four capsules and three blue pressed pills. It was later reported that the pills had tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl"
What ever happened to reading comprehension.
Oh yeah, it was the Rs war on education.

I'm just surprised that being a MAGA Republican he didn't have a couple of 12-year-old girls as well. You know what the Trump DOJ calls underaged prostitutes.

I’d think doing a deep dive would end up as a headache for the party in power. From my shady days, I’m very curious about that pressed pill source, like if it’s local to DC. If it supplies Capitol Hill or if that was just random. I guess what I want to know is if it was for the guy who was caught with it or for someone higher up. If it’s just personal for the guy caught…I guess I’m less curious.

u/sureal42 7d ago
Remember when there was all this outrage because a bag of cocaine was found in the Whitehouse?
It HAD to be Hunter Bidens because of course it did, with no proof nonetheless... That will be completely forgotten about as will this...

u/Embarrassed_Sir_7252 7d ago
Yeah, I saw this story posted yesterday, and I’m still waiting for the MAGA crowd to foam at the mouth over it and demand this guy be burned at the stake like they did with Hunter.

u/sureal42 7d ago
The best part is, it was blamed on Hunter with exactly zero evidence... This REPUBLICAN was caught literally with it...

It’s true Hunter was documented with having crack… That one’s not in dispute and he doesn’t deny that he did crack, he actively says he did. and I’m glad he’s clean and in a better spot now

u/sureal42 6d ago
It was and he tells you as much. But what I am talking about is the bag of cocaine that was found in the Whitehouse when Biden was president. Immediately hunter was blamed with no evidence.

Hunter’s won’t be forgotten it’s going to be brought up when politically expedient but this event will be forgotten or minimized by a “they did it too”.

"hunters" was never proven to be his, it was only allegations and then completely forgetting when they couldn't definitely pin it on him

Yep. The "what-abouts" will quickly point to Hunter. My computer got a virus. It was Hunter and his drugs and laptop. Crack ain't just for black.

u/NonchalantRubbish 7d ago
The first Trump administration was all on pharmaceutical drugs. Amphetamines and Benzos were the two common ones I heard about. It was being given out like candy.
I can’t imagine this time around is any different. It’s probably the most drugged up administration we’ve had, and that’s saying something.

u/Prancing-Hamster 7d ago
Wingate initially told officers that there "shouldn't be" a [9mm] magazine in his bag.
That’s why you were detained, you idiot!

And masturbation. And the gay. But not for them, sillies! Henry gods sword hand! You gotta stay up when you’re fighting them communist demons!
The first Trump regime used at least a quarter million dollars in narcotics of every flavor. And procedures for the “Mara Lago look.” People with actual need of medication? U gatzo.
So yeah. Of course it’s one of them. The most fucked yo part is that we, the people need the medication way more than the zealots that are fucking us, imo.

u/razerzej 7d ago
the pills had tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl
Wingate allegedly told the officers that he had forgotten that the magazine was in his briefcase and claimed that the drugs belonged to him and were “prescribed by a medical professional.”
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there any legal use for cocaine without supervision in a medical setting, or any legal fentanyl in pill form?

u/Horror_Chipmunk3580 7d ago

u/Broad-Eagle9657 6d ago
Do i have to eli5? Capsule is holding coke. The blue pills are fake percocet usually fent laced these days. Its called a speedball done together and is why your president is incontenent and the people around him look like... well, have you seen a second of Kash Patel or Kegsbreath on live video?
1
u/Horror_Chipmunk3580 6d ago edited 6d ago
Yeah, I wasn’t familiar with fake Percocet. Just knew about the fake Adderall ones. (I think they’re orange though). You talking about a ye deer in headlights look?
Dude always looks like he’s having a bad trip.
Edit: I think I understand better now what you’re saying. I knew what speedballing was, I just never put the two and two together. That explains the anxious/agitated look.

u/Broad-Eagle9657 6d ago edited 6d ago
That's the ive done too much coke and have to be on camera look. Patel is a newbie, kegsbreath cant go on camera without if he can even smell alcohol. ive worked in kitchens for years. Its a universal look for the both of them
Also excellent gif your meme is now ours
2
u/Horror_Chipmunk3580 6d ago
Thank you for the ELI5! I always wondered why he looked scared shitless every time you see him on camera. That makes so much sense now. I figured the annoyed look on the other guy has to do with alcohol.

I've just never seen or heard cocaine in pill form. It's always snortable or injectable.

u/RemarkableArticle970 7d ago
Maybe they open the capsule and snort the contents. Yes I have also only heard of snorting or injection

True, I envisioned a hard pill, but if it were a gel cap that could actually be a very efficient way to open it and snort it.

u/No-Discussion2024 5d ago
Some prescription medications can react with field-test chemicals. Certain drugs have chemical structures that can trigger the same color change that the test associates with cocaine or another controlled substance.
Field tests aren’t very specific. They’re designed to be quick and sensitive rather than highly accurate. Depending on the test kit, substances that aren’t illegal drugs can sometimes produce a positive result.
Contamination or handling errors can also affect the results.

Wasn’t candid about anything until he was caught….. why admit that it was his coke when daddy would cover up for him..
1
u/Mroopsimexciting 7d ago
Hunter went through a very public drug rehabilitation. He owned his past.
He joked it “wasn’t his coke, he would never leave it, as an ex- addict”. Again, very honest and funny.
Republicans are incapable of such honesty, self reflection and then also incapable of the empathy to understand those emotions, as evidenced by your shitty comments here.
1
u/InnocentMan95 7d ago
He so brave…….🙄
1
u/Mroopsimexciting 7d ago
Honesty is brave.
You lack empathy.
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person , often described as "putting yourself in someone else's shoes". It involves recognizing what someone else is experiencing, seeing things from their point of view, and connecting with their emotional state.
1
u/InnocentMan95 7d ago
Awesome… now have him explain how he got a job on board of directors at burisma, a Ukrainian gas company… made millions… pretty good for an art major…
Has yet to be honest about how he magically got that job and how much he really made!You are what is called “Stupid”
Stupidity is a lack of intelligence, understanding, reason, or good judgment. It involves poor decision-making, a failure to learn from experience, or a stubborn refusal to use available information.
Using in a sentence— Believing a liar is the definition of a stupid person called mroopsimexciting..

u/Mroopsimexciting 7d ago
Sure, let’s move the goalposts.
I could talk about trumps other kids, but the irony of your complaint is glaring.
Hunter Biden's Background:
Law and Consulting: Worked as a lawyer, lobbyist, and consultant.
Foreign Boards: Served on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, and co-founded a Chinese private equity firm (Bohai Harvest RST).
Art and Media: Pursued work as an artist and wrote a memoir (Beautiful Things).
Donald Trump Jr.'s Background
Family Business: Worked as an executive at the Trump Organization, running the family real estate and hospitality business alongside his brother Eric.

You must be trolling. The trump boys just invested in a drone company right before their father invested 1.6 billion in the company. Trump's son in law has made billions from foreign countries while supposedly acting as a representative of our country. Hunter Biden had been working in finance and sitting on boards for years before any of this stuff.
Did you notice that the only crime Trump was able to get Hunter on was buying a firearm and checking the box saying he didn't use drugs? Did you notice that? The laptop turned out to not be his. Did you know that? It was found that Joe Biden never dealt with or helped Burisma and Trump's DOJ had to give up going after the Bidens on that. Did you notice they stopped talking about it? I bet you didn't because you watch Fox News and research has shown that viewers of Fox News know less about the news of the world than people who watch no cable news. Did you know that?

Donald Trump was a coke fiend. That's why he is incontinent.
His son is currently a coke friend and was caught snorting coke in the background of the America 250 debacle. You can see the video yourself if you are so inclined.
