Malia Obama caught on camera smoking dank weed

She's an idiot and this shows her lack of judgment. Donald Trump is in the running for President and she has to know that her family and the Democratic party that they represent does not need any negative publicity. She's a high profile individual and she has to know that people will be recording her in public no matter what she does.

Poor decision from her and I am sure that her Mom/Dad will talk to her about this and tell her not to do it again.
I agree with all of this... but she's 18. Teenagers are all idiots.
 
Politically speaking, this seems like a pretty big scandal that will fuel fires all around TBH.

If they went after someone for their birth certificate, they'll rain hell down if his daughter is smoking weed.

Malia has already been criticized for the clothes that she wears too. This might be a GOP feeding frenzy that in a sane world would be no big deal.
 
What if Obama gave her the weed in an attempt to get Trump to attack a teenage girl? Playing that 11-dimensional chess again.

Also, I've actually seen very little media freak out about this. Maybe it's just because Trump is drowning it out, but I'm going to be optimistic and say maybe we can mostly see this as normal now.
 
Trump Statement:

"Malia is setting a very poor example for young women in this country. They should want to appear as attractive as possible. It's disgusting. I don't find drug users attractive, it's just disgusting. I personally find it to be very repulsive.

My daughter Ivanka doesn't do drugs and she is so attractive. I find my daughter to be a very attractive woman. She's just so attractive, sexually I mean."

Fuck that, she's 18. She was not included in the decision to put every aspect of her and her family's life under a microscope.

It wasn't the best choice, mainly because of where it was done, but a misbehaving or rebellious teenaged child is a normal thing in an American family. It will be handled as a family (which sounds serious, but it really isn't) and that will be the end of it. Some people will try and make political hay out of it, but aside from the usual suspects I believe most people will approve of this being handled as a family matter.
 
I mean she's a Lollapalooza she probably doesn't have a dealer. Joints just get passed around like candy
So first time smoker or does she have a discreet pax vaporizer in her bedroom under her pillow


No....wait....only sad individuals like myself use to sleep with a vaporizer under my pillow.
 
She's broke the law, prison time me thinks.

That's not how "breaking the law" works. Otherwise speed trap cops would need a paddy wagon. We have these levels of law breaking with most offenses not being a prison sentence. A picture of someone smoking a joint is not evidence to convict for prison time. Sorry to burst your bubble.
 
She's broke the law, prison time me thinks.

She broke the law like someone doing 90 on a 75MPH highway broke the law. It's decriminalized in Illinois, so it's a ticket. If you're seen by a police officer. Otherwise, meh. Also, we don't know if she has a medical card, which would legally permit her to smoke in Illinois, as well.

Anyway, even if the above WASN'T true, this is a big fat meh. Teenagers smoke weed. So do adults! And it's not like she was ripping dabs and acting like a zombie. She took a couple puffs of a tiny joint at a concert. This is a non-story.

Finally, the folks who are saying it's a double-standard are a bit misguided. Malia Obama, last I checked, is not involved in public policy, and as far as we know, Barack didn't roll her a to-go joint before she left for Chicago (though damn, if he did, I would pay a thousand dollars to see Barack Obama roll a joint), so this has nothing to do with him.

Have people seriously forgotten about the Bush daughters? They make this look like a sip of a mimosa at brunch, for fuck's sake.
 
Like father like daughter

I am really going to miss him.
 
Didn't Bush do coke?

So did Barry. Eighteen-year-olds gonna do what 18-year-old teens do. Seems we've made some solid progress in this country after all if this all amounts to nothing. Seems crazy that she could even feel comfortable doing anything with all eyes/cameras trained on her constantly.

Michelle most likely gonna give her a talking to though.
 
I cannot believe this. My mind is fucking blown at this news.

Lollapalooza is still a thing?! It didn't die with the 90's?

It's a bit of a different beast now. The touring version stopped in '97, and had a revival in 2003, but since 2005, it's been in Grant Park here in Chicago. It's easily the largest music festival in the city, and one of the largest in the country. This past year was particularly nuts because they made it a 4-day festival rather than the usual 3.
 
Did she have it tested? I mean how do we know for sure it was only pot and wasn't laced with cocaine? /SoberGAF
