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

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.

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

Where's Darwin when you need him?

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I would take Thanos at this point.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 5 points 23 hours ago

Darwin's older, harsher cousin perhaps.

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.

Probably snorted off of the back of a toilet.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 37 points 23 hours ago

Dude. That’s NOT a brag.

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.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

yeah but yelling WHOOO! remained off limits for quite some time, while being racist af remained totally okay. Weird, eh?

[–] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bill Clinton!? John F. Kennedy consumed mind-boggling amounts of drugs while being president, 30 years earlier.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

And Churchill drank like a fish.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Nixon was also cripplingly addicted to alcohol.

Minimum 250 cc, alright. Doc didn't specify what proof that was supposed to be...

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago

Well, at least one. That we know of.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 14 points 23 hours ago

That sounds like something a brain worm would say.
