On the one hand I mean…. Who really cares? Oh no. Grown ups did some drugs. Next they might find cigarettes or alcohol or even Marijuana…
On the other hand, it is not a good look when the symbol of law and authority is involved in lawlessness. If everyone could get away with having coke in their house by saying “it isn’t mine…” and shrugging then maybe… I don’t like the selective justice. I’d say rough 50/50 odds that if some random person rented an Air B&B or something and called the cops out because they found coke after staying there over a year, some would probably get a shrug and the cops would take the coke and the rest would have a bad evening or get charged. So I personally think that latter one- the selective justice, is the only real talking point with meat in this whole thing.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t vote for Joe Biden and he is far from my favorite president, even the last guy, who I deplored, had they found coke in the White House under him I’d feel the same. As you allude to, rich and powerful people taking drugs isn’t a rare thing and a good chunk of the US population uses off label, illegal, or questionably attained drugs for recreation or performance.
