Dan GillmorThe cocaine-in-the-White-House story is just what the Republicans want Big Journalism to obsess on, and as we know Big Journalism basically acts as though the Republican Party is the assignment editor.
John Gordon 📷@dangillmor It is amazing to me that so many people are fixated on a bag of cocaine in the White House when there were 22 mass shootings, killing 20 people and injuring over 100 on July 4th. The day the country celebrates its independence. Really, how is a tiny bag of cocaine more important than people being shot on July 4th? Makes no sense to me at all.
Alice Marshall@Bluedonkey @dangillmor I am unable to dismiss the suspicion that the Secret Service planted that cocaine.
@AliceMarshall @dangillmor Why does it matter who put it there? Just dispose of it & move on. It is causing no harm to anybody, unlike the guns flooding the US, that are being used to kill people every day. When you have more mass shootings in a year than there are days, that’s a problem. One bag of cocaine in the WH, no matter how it got there, is irrelevant to any of the serious issues we face as a nation. It’s a distraction & we need to learn to ignore distractions.
