•This is an Historically Accurate Transcription starring President Ronald Reagan and Joe Biden in the Oval Office, November 12, 1987•
REAGAN: How is it possible that you are going to have significantly more hair in 35 years? BIDEN: How do you know what my hair is going to look like in the future? REAGAN: Star Wars. BIDEN: The movie or the proposed missile defense system? REAGAN: They are literally the same thing, Joe. BIDEN: I think you are confused, Mr. President. REAGAN: Are you making an Alzheimer's joke or poking fun at an elderly President? BIDEN: No, absolutely not. That would be super inappropriate and not cool at all and I would definitely not appreciate that. Let me be crystal clear, it is REALLY shitty to make fun of elderly Presidents. I would not like that if I were in your shoes. REAGAN: I haven't been able to find my shoes since 1984. BIDEN: See, you're the one making those jokes, not me. REAGAN: That's because in 35 years, you're going to miraculously have your hair again but good luck finding your shoes during your second term. BIDEN: I'll have a second term? Did you see that in Star Wars, too? REAGAN: Is there a Star Wars 2? I only saw the first one. BIDEN: No, I mean, did you also see that in Star Wars? REAGAN: Oh, no, I'm just an old man who happens to be President and old men who happen to be President say crazy shit. BIDEN: Goddammit... REAGAN: But come on! Your main opponent was impeached twice, incited an insurrection, and has at least two criminal indictments. How could you lose? BIDEN: Because your "Shining City on a Hill" has turned into a garbage fire that's also full of diarrhea and conspiracies. REAGAN: Patriotic. Alright, I'm gonna go watch Star Wars again, but one more thing... BIDEN: Yes, sir? REAGAN: MR. GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL! (Nancy!? Where am I?) BIDEN: God save the Queen. (Jill?! I'm lost again!)

did you know…
some say that reagan’s oval office was the first to include live bears, but this fact is equivalent to a cherry tree chopped; bears are not real.

Subsequent testing confirmed that a powdery substance discovered by the Secret Service at the White House on Sunday was cocaine, a law enforcement official said Wednesday, as questions linger about how the drug got into the building.
The discovery of the substance caused a brief shutdown of the White House after it was found by Secret Service officers in a common storage area on the ground floor of the West Wing, which houses the Oval Office and offices of some of the president's top aides and support staff. It was found in a zip-close bag near an entrance where visitors taking tours are directed to leave their phones, the official said.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Biden has been briefed on the incident and noted the area where the cocaine was discovered is "heavily traveled" by visitors.
"When it comes to visitors to the West Wing, they come for many reasons, obviously we do have West Wing tours that occur here on campus," she said, adding tours took place Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Secret Service is not ruling out any White House personnel, guests or visitors. At this point, one leading theory is that the bag was brought in by an individual on a White House tour of the West Wing, according to senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.
White House staffers frequently give guests tours of the West Wing, often at night and over the weekend. Guests must pass through security before entering the White House complex and then are asked to leave phones in small cubbies.
An initial test of the substance conducted by the District of Columbia Fire Department soon after it was found indicated it was cocaine, and the additional test took place Tuesday night.
In a recording of a radio message from D.C. Fire hazmat personnel who responded to the scene Sunday night, a first responder can be heard saying the substance tested positive for "cocaine hydrochloride." The message was posted by the website OpenMHz, which records and archives radio dispatches by police, fire and EMS agencies.
The Secret Service is leading a full review of how the substance got into the West Wing, law enforcement officials said, including examining cameras and entrance logs to determine who had access to the space. Officials caution this will be a challenging investigation, and while there are some cameras in the West Wing, it's unclear if anyone was captured on those cameras with the bag of cocaine.
Unlike some other federal entities, the Secret Services does not have drug-sniffing dogs. If an officer encounters a powder or substance on White House grounds or in surrounding areas, they routinely request the assistance of D.C. Fire and EMS.
The discovery of the "unknown item" prompted a "precautionary closure" of the White House, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi acknowledged in a statement Tuesday.
Guglielmi said that D.C. Fire was called to evaluate the substance and determined it was "non-hazardous."
Mr. Biden was not at the White House over the weekend. He, first lady Dr. Jill Biden and members of their family departed for Camp David on Friday. They returned to the White House on Tuesday for an event with the National Education Association and Fourth of July festivities.

It's White House Day
and BTS is joining Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at today's Press Briefing, which starts at 2:30 ET:
And there's one link. Here's another:
And in about an hour we'll have concept photos again (OMG) - but as happy as I am about those, I'm more excited to hear what our guys have to say - and even though the Oval Office meeting is closed to the press, BTS (read: Our President Kim Namjoon mostly) will be giving some remarks in the press briefing as well and you know what that means. THE JEON PARKS WILL BE THERE AND STALKERS WILL NOT. Getting inside the press room is not for the faint of heart, and doubtless some journalists are ARMY but not all ARMY are credentialed journalists with White House okay sooooo...
Tumblr media
Safety first, kids. And Namjoon is much... broader, these days. I need a new Presidential edit. Someone screenshot me some stuff. I'm not gonna be able to watch, as I have some rather invasive treatment crap going on that requires my full attention at that time -- but I'll be home this evening and hopefully able to tell y'all how great the guys did because SURELY it'll be on Youtube so President Biden can get a bunch of likes. We hope. I know they're gonna do wonderfully. I'm excited for BTS. I hope Jungkook isn't still mad and Jimin is happy and stamps got collected and everyone is all good and everyone remembers their English. BUT WHAT IF BTS CURSES IN THE PRESS BRIEFING WHAT IF YOONGI SAYS "WHAT Y'ALL THINK WOULD HAPPEN WHEN BANGTAN RISES, MUTHAFUKKAS" AND THE BEAT DROPS AND JIMIN FLIPS AND JUNGKOOK STARTS RAPPING AND NAMJOON TEARS HIS SHIRT OFF
