What Is Coke Jaw?

The term coke jaw refers to the uncontrollable jaw movements associated with cocaine use. As mentioned above, cocaine is a stimulant drug.

BTW Nice to see Donald Coke Jaw Jr. got in some antisemitic shit too. "The globalists" aka THE JEWS

If he dropped dead tomorrow from a stroke or a heart attack I would not be surprised. Dude needs help now.

You probably don't want to know what my daily consumption of opioids and stimulants were during that time frame ... but let's just say, it was enough to kill a small roomful of normal people.

Of course, what might even be scarier ... is the possibility that he's actually sober.

And would continue to if available near me. A massively lower carbon footprint to raise them than beef and you get the same if not more protein

I’ve had spiders, crickets, ants and meal worms (maggots). By and far meal worms were delicious. Had a nutty fatty flavor.

Kick moron jr to the side and serve me up some maggots.😀

We had to be taught how bad our lives were going to be by now and how to survive and win the soul of humanity for the lord. Now winning requires buying "survival kits" from the leaders and taking food from others.

of additional supplements and additives.

I'd rather eat bugs than be a MAGAt and get spoon fed a steady diet of bovine, equine, and capon feces.

I had to kill a couple of hours in Philly and I went shopping at a bullseye logo (free parking), and I would not buy anything that wasn't sealed in plastic. Bags and boxes of grain, any food stock are cockroach havens at night, no matter how much a company sprays against them.

But, that's the after product.

The amount of bugs in the delivery and manufacturing stage is amazing. I will never buy open food at a farmer's market, having spent many a time there. And do not drink fresh squeezed apple or orange juice, especially during the summer. Those machines are insect laden. The outside ones have hundreds of wasps in them being pressed into your drink.

If you eat bread, or any cereal product, or coffee, or any bean, and most vegetables and some fruits, you are consuming bugs. Even some fish, like cod, have parasitic worms in their flesh. Yummmmy.

The USDA actually has a specification for the max allowable bug parts that a food can contain, and it ain't zero for a good reason.

So yeah, we eat bugs every day. we just don't subsist on them.

He has eaten more bugs, bug parts, and bug feces during the entirety of his miserable life than he realizes, along with feces and hair/body parts of all sorts of "vermin." There's no way of keeping all that stuff completely out of the food supply, without poisoning it to a point where it's inedible.

Shut the fuck up, Donnie. Nobody's going to force you to eat fucking insects.

such as shrimp, crabs, and lobster?

Pre-contact Mexicans ate a lot of insects, and there are some Oaxacan restaurants near here who serve chapulinas - grasshoppers. If it was good enough for the Aztecs, it's good enough for me.

Every once in a while you would chew on one that didn't tase quite right. Odds were some very small and unseen insect was tucked in there somewhere.

Nowday, if that would happen you can be reassured that you are still eating berries which are very good for you.

He's clearly getting this stuff from the usual places: Reddit, 4Chan/8Chan/whatever-the-hell-they-call-it-now, the ".win" sites, etc. This latest outburst from Don Jr is just stock boilerplate copy, unaltered and plagiarized. It is, however, a good example of how this garbage is mainstreamed: first it shows up on the Pepe chud sites like the ".wins", next it moves to 8Chan and Reddit, then on to the "think" tanks and the talkers like PragerU and Don Jr, and later it becomes accepted vernacular at places like Fox "News".
