Cocaine, Marijuana at the White House. When DO We Ask What the Hell?

VOICES

ALPERN AT LARGE - I know, I know, I know…Republicans suck.

I know, I know, I know…Trump sucks.

I know, I know, I know...the House investigations, McCarthy, Boebert, Scalise all suck. 

I know, I know, I know…Marjorie Taylor Greene sucks (actually, she really does kinda suck, and I wish we could do a one-for-one tradeoff with Greene and George Santos from the GOP, and take out Ilhan Omar and Adam Schiff from the Democrats, and send them all sprung out of politics in a big ol’ ejector seat).

I know, I know, I know…Biden’s just fine, and he’s so much better than Trump.

I know, I know, I know…V.P. Harris is way better than that awful Christian, pro-life, white male Pence.

I know, I know, I know…inflation isn’t that big a deal, and it’s not that much a problem anymore.

I know, I know, I know…the jobs are all coming back, our infrastructure and military and entitlement and education spending are just being invested so very well.

I know, I know, I know…we’re handling China and North Korea so well (although, in all fairness, we’re limiting Putin fairly well).

I know, I know, I know…Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are just SO much cleaner than Donald Trump and his son Junior.

I know, I know, I know…Republicans and conservatives are just…so…wrong!

But we’ve got cocaine in the White House, and now marijuana before that…no big deal?

But we’ve got the whole Russia thing as concocted and promoted by a DOJ and FBI who decided they wanted Trump out…no big deal?

But we’ve got coverup after coverup after coverup of Biden and Hillary Clinton and other collusion from the Democratic Party against the GOP and former President Trump that have to be pried open by the House…and it turns out it was true.

But we’ve got to really hunt all this down because the standard print and online media are mightily avoiding this in a manner completely opposite to how the White House was treated from 2016 to 2020?

Yes, Trump is an A-hole, but is Biden really any better?

And are we ready for a Trump-Biden rematch of two arrogant, ego-driven, narcistic old men in 2024? 

Biden’s White House is as much or more scandal-plagued as the Trump White House was, and both are gaslighting creeps.

But when did we decide to give Biden a “pass” so we could keep a Democrat in the White House from 2024 and beyond?

When do we get to ask…what the heck? What the hell? What the f-ck?
