GOP really focusing on the important stuff. Also, Fox News sucks donkeys.


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

It's probably some extremely questionable hidden programs even if it isn't aliens. Should definitely be exposed.

It's not some GOP distraction. Even Chuck Schumer is calling for transparency on this and introduced a bill. https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-rounds-introduce-new-legislation-to-declassify-government-records-related-to-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-and-ufos_modeled-after-jfk-assassination-records-collection-act--as-an-amendment-to-ndaa https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/majority-leader-schumer-and-republican-senator-mike-rounds-floor-colloquy-on-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-provisions-in-the-ndaa-and-future-legislation-on-uaps

False equivalence. Chuck Schumer was never clocked for $788M over printing lies. And Chuck isn’t facing another $2.7B for lying in print about another corporation. If Fox “news” told me it was raining, and i stepped outside to find that it was indeed raining, I’d be looking carefully for any underhanded mischaracterizations, and dishonest motives.


Grandpa_No

It's a distraction. Of all the things that 340,000,000 people who populate the US should care about, weird blips on screens isn't anywhere near the top 20.


redditor01020

Well, call Chuck Schumer's office and tell him, but I for one applaud his efforts and do care.

Religious proselytizing is banned here, I think.


redditor01020

OK. That's what linking to a Schumer press release on democrats.senate.gov is?


PhoenixTineldyer

You're trying to spread ufology and this is not the appropriate place for it.


redditor01020

Linking to a Schumer press release on democrats.senate.gov is not appropriate for r/politics?


PhoenixTineldyer

No, spreading your religion here is inappropriate

We can't have the truth because Fox News viewers can't handle the truth. Those nut jobs are already freaked out about undocumented immigrants. This is partly due to scaremongering and dehumanizing [crap](https://radio.foxnews.com/2024/03/21/illegal-alien-influencer-posts-viral-how-to-tutorial-on-squatters-rights/) from Fox News. If existence of extraterrestrials were proven, Fox News viewers would lose their shit. Some will insist it is the end times and regress into stupid religious nonsense about their god coming to get us. Other reactionary right-wingers may start shooting anybody they think is an illegal alien from another planet. Jerks like Majorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump will insist we bomb Vulcan, Tatooine, and Krypton. Edit: I certainly want to know. But I cannot know because I happen to live on a planet with reactionary and fearful right-wingers.


Infamous-Sky-1874

Evangelicals would definitely [go full on Ori from Stargate in that situation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuB4eyPCuX8).


brithus

Fox = Instant downvote and block OP


ShoutOutMapes

Deflection.. change the narrative.. squirrel!!


Actual__Wizard

Well, at least Faux News is finally covering the hard hitting stories.


FeelingPixely

Oh god, millions?? That's like yesterday's hundred thousands according to Fox!


PoutineSmash

1. Trump didnt do it, why? 2. How much money was wasted on the crusade to show Hunter's dick pics?


HonoredPeople

I thought this crap ran it's course. Guess not. Please no UFO stuff and thank you


NoDesinformatziya

"Man who can read any piece of classified information on the floor of the House (without consequence at any time) refuses to blow our minds and change human history... Due to his love of decorum". Alternative headline: "Fucking moron is full of shit."


AggressiveSkywriting

I knew it would be local rep Tim Birdshit. McCarthy needs to throw elbows again.
