A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

That is not it. Director of Secret Service wanted to remove evidence to avoid controversy at the Biden White House. This is political.

Please provide anything supplementary stating the desire to remove it was a political one. Cocaine does not belong at the White House. I concede due process should be followed and storing it for 7 years securely was probably the better option, but you’re just making assumptions for what is also a very reasonable stance.

All signs that this was political in the NYPost article here are conjecture. What do you have that’s concrete?

Reminds me of the timeless Ronald Reagan quote:

A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.

He did. You want to know something wild? Israel supplied arms to Iran as well I was just a kid during that war but now that I’m older, we supplied both sides which is insane.

Yeah but so what? Only the most naive possible person would expect:

  • there to not be cocaine at the white house
  • for the Secret Service to not want to cover it up

Who cares? You’re holding the power structure to a level of boy scout howdy-doody ethics that only exists in cartoons.

Of course there’s cocaine at the white house, and of course the USSS tried to cover it up. I ain’t even mad about that.

I find it hard to believe that a conservative — a political philosophy for adults who realize the world isn’t perfect and that political structure needs to adapt to that — would be upset about this.

If you really think the secret service shouldn’t have tried to cover it up, why do you support people keeping their weapons? After all if we can expect the government to not break the rules, why have a second amendment?

Everyone knows it’s hunters cocaine.

Innocent until proven guilty.

And if it’s Trump, he’s always innocent, somehow…
