So is fingerprinting not done anymore? It can't be that difficult unless all the hundreds of people who had access to that area of the WH all touched it and render that method inconclusive. I'm not saying it was Hunter's, but if it was and that was made public, his sweet deal would go away. That was one of the conditions placed on him. mspart

Let's hope not. I lived in MN and was happy with Ventura as governor for a few years, then he went nutty as he really is. I did not vote for him but I wasn't unhappy that he won. He was ok for a little while but became a nut case. I really don't want Trump in there as he has a self destruct mode few others have. He has good policy positions but can't get out of his own way. But I'd probably vote for BerniePragle. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!!! mspart

Sorry. I thought it happened over the weekend. Thanks for the info. mspart

Yeah I messed that up. Sorry. Here is the proper link. mspart

Yeah, that was a quick knockdown and finish. I was hoping for Bo to win but that was too quick. Reminiscent of some of those Mike Tyson fights. mspart

Do we have results yet? mspart

Perhaps Snyder actually enjoys the competition. mspart

I watched this as it popped up on Youtube. There seems to be a few of these for Gable. I was surprised at how he dominated, he really dominated. Anyway, for those that haven't seen it yet, here you go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwgRzU8oc4Y mspart

In short, it is tough to make an olympic team period. mspart

Is there a limit on possession in the federal code? Like it is ok to possess up to a certain amount but not a miligram more? I don't think so. So this represents a federal crime on federal property. It doesn't matter how much was involved does it? mspart

And that really is funny. They targeted that audience and they are indifferent. That's an interesting thing to note. mspart

Because I wrote it in response to another post but then someone (maybe you) posted something before I could finish and it just didn't make sense. I left most of it there. I mostly just added the NBC link. mspart

Well, this was not found on the floor. It was found in a cubby as noted above. Same level as where the VP's car is, same floor as the situation room. If those aren't secure areas, I don't know what would be. mspart

Looks like you know something. mspart

I know you hate links but I need to do this to corroborate your statement. Yes, the location has changed. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/cocaine-found-white-house-was-different-location-previously-reported-s-rcna92906 Cocaine found in the White House was in a different location than previously reported, sources say The sources maintain that the area is highly trafficked, keeping with Jean-Pierre’s characterization in yesterday’s briefing. WASHINGTON — Multiple officials involved in the White House cocaine inquiry now say the bag of powder was found in a cubby near the White House's West Executive entrance, not the formal West Wing lobby as was previously reported. Investigators expect to be done with the investigation by Monday, according to two sources familiar with the investigation. The inquiry was previously expected to take a couple of weeks. In updating the location of where the cocaine was found, officials said that area was also heavily trafficked. The cocaine was found in an entrance area between the foyer and a lower-level lobby, the sources said. The entrance is near where some vehicles, like the vice president’s limo or SUV park. It is one floor below the main West Wing offices and the same floor as the Situation Room and a dining area. This should be a very highly secure area one would think. Wouldn't a person assume that this is a symptom of a bigger security issue at the WH? I do for sure. Cocaine should never have been brought to the WH in the first place. But it wasn't caught by security at all and left in the WH? That's not good. mspart

I heard on the radio this morning that the area is very near the situation room. If the case, you would think there would be all kinds of security going on around there. But I don't know that is the case, just what was reported. NBC reports that in that particular area, not too many cameras available. mspart

It is not a recreational drug according to the Feds. It is a controlled substance and federally speaking, it is illegal to possess, and I have to believe it is illegal to bring into a federal facility such as the White House. These people know the consequences, they are briefed and have security clearances. It's not like they didn't know this was a no no. It can be minimized by everyone as a who cares, and I even said this is a nothing-burger for those especially on the left, as the left wants to legalize drugs. But that does not mean that is no longer illegal. It is illegal to possess and use according to federal law. So this is actually quite serious for whoever had the audacity to bring coke into the WH. mspart

I have no idea who it is. I only know that whoever it is should be going to the pokey very soon based on laws broken as I have stated earlier. mspart

That is a great story. Thanks for sharing. I saw a blind guy wrestle at a Old Man wrestling tourney that I was participating in in Owatonna, MN. He was strong and ended up with a much older man and tore the guy's ACL (I'm assuming based on I went out to help him with some others and had his leg up on my shoulder after someone said to elevate it. When I started to bring his leg down after he calmed down a bit, his lower leg moved in a very different direction than it should have and he yelled. That movement creeped me out). He was actually very good and it was a genuine pleasure to watch him do his thing. That is my only experience with a blind wrestler. What a fascinating thing to do as a blind person - wrestle. mspart

That's in my bucket list as well!! I have to say this thread got off topic just a wee bit eh? mspart

No it is a non issue because the left is all about drug legalization. The left controls the White House and the media so it is not that big a deal. Cocaine is still a federally controlled substance and who ever had it should be going to the arraignment and court proceedings. You don't get more federal property-ish than the WH. But it probably won't happen even though it is a clear violation of numerous laws. Possession, use (if they can establish that) and both of those on federal property and there are others I'm sure. The FBI will look into this and determine there was no mal intent on the party to abuse the substance at all so ipso facto. At the very least the staffer should be fired. mspart

Yes, they might quietly dismantle you. Arms and legs in different places with eyballs located conveniently on top of the torso. mspart

And this of course makes sense as a new President with new priorities takes over. Biden did yeoman's work there. mspart

Like Obama with Dreamers, seeing he couldn't get it through Congress, he decided to do it by EO. The problem with EOs is that they have the seeming force of law until such time as it is challenged and stopped by a judge or justice somewhere. That is really the root of it. EOs are supposed to be a declaration to the executive branch on how to operate within the bounds of established law. They are not supposed to be law and Constitutionally speaking, they cannot be law. Sure it was a campaign promise designed to buy votes. But it also was a naked attempt to gain power for the executive branch at the detriment to the Legislative branch. SCOTUS was right to call a halt to this. The lower judge was right to put a halt to this until SCOTUS could weigh in. Go through Congress. If the people vote in people opposed to this, then the people have spoken. mspart
