  1. That’s right Biden is giving away free crack pipes. Now before you say this is a Right Wing Disinformation this activity has been recorded as being done as early as 2014. https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sf-group-handing-out-free-crack-pipe-kits-expects-to-expand/ To bring the matter current a provocative article in the Free Beacon highlights the safe smoking kits and supplies. https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/biden-admin-to-fund-crack-pipe-distribution-to-advance-racial-equity/ Looking at the grant, its clear that they aren’t talking about nicotine or weed.

    Many Black Trump supporters, particularly the ones who aren’t famous or super rich, are usually seething inside. They're lacking something socially or emotionally and their false belief they are superior to other Blacks does not fill this void. This is why so many lack empathy for Blacks who are abused, experience misfortunes or are poor. They tend to devalue the misery of those in need.

In this day of age, music and hookah is most of my peers favorite thing to do any night of the week. I enjoy it, I am somewhat of a party animal compared to my friends but I can't deny that I have this emptiness once my hangover is over. A sense of boredom.
