If there was anything remotely interesting about aliens he would have already used it as a distraction during covid.

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 103 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

He did do this during the first term. There wasn’t anything interesting, but it did distract the conspiracy folks.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The pullout was weird at the time. Handful of censored videos, talk of more then nothing. A couple of senators or house members suddenly became disinterested for no reason in particular and it died.

Honestly, if there were alien craft zipping around, I can imagine why no government would want to disclose them. It would basically be an announcement of, "these damn craft are flying around the atmosphere and the space around Earth. They're utterly beyond anything we're capable of. We're not sure if they're aliens, time travelers, beings from another dimension, literal angels or demons, or something even stranger. But we are utterly at their mercy. They're spying on us constantly, for purposes unknown. Oh, and occasionally they'll just abduct people and carry them off for God-knows-what reason. I'm sorry, but there is literally nothing we or any human being can do about this. They're basically gods to us, and we know next to nothing about them, where they come from, or why they're here."

What leader would ever want to give that speech? I don't consider it likely we are being visited by non-human intelligences. But if we were, it wouldn't be anything like Roswell and Area 51. We wouldn't have a base full of downed or crashed alien craft. They simply wouldn't crash, and we would have no ability to shoot them down. A real announcement of alien visitors wouldn't be the reveal of some vast secret government project, a revealing of secret strength. It would be us saying, "we've been working on this problem for nearly a century, and we've learned nothing. All we know is that they're there, and we can't do a damn thing about it." It would a confession of weakness and utter helplessness, a government openly admitting it's completely powerless to protect its people from an unknown outside threat. Can you imagine a president telling the public, "yeah, you might get abducted by aliens. Sorry, that just happens sometimes. There's nothing we can do about it."

It would represent a complete shattering of our species' sense of value and security. And voters tend not to like politicians who tell them the unvarnished truth.

As was said before,, this is why the aliens roll up their windows and drive faster when they pass our planet.

Plot-twist: he's in the alien files too and it's super fucking bad

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (4 children)

He was abducted on to one of their ships, and immediately started molesting them, mistaking their small forms for human children.

Here we are, poised to enter intergalactic war, all because the US president raped some alien babies. The guy just can't help himself!

And then those files will only be half released and full of redactions because it turns that Trump and the other billionaires have been fucking alien kids too.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 53 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can you do a citizens arrest on the president? Asking for a friend who also hates pedophiles.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s called a coup, and yes you can, provided you can outgun the secret service and military.

I'm calling it here: Trump did not just rape a child. Everyone already knows that and he's still trying to hide the Epstein files.

Trump murdered a child and then raped her corpse.

Or there's a video of him having sex with Bill Clinton. Republicans would consider that equally bad.

[–] Sideshow_B00b@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I dunno about that last bit, seems like they are totally ok with the pedophilia, murdering children and sex trafficking. In fact, they seem to think those things are pretty damn cool.

Two consenting males getting it on behind closed doors - now THAT is a bridge too far!!

At this point I don't think we even need to discuss whether the president of the United States of America raped children.

No one who hasn't raped children puts this much effort into hiding files implicating child rapists.

Logically the only other explanation possible is that he's being blackmailed by people who did rape children and if what they have on him isn't child rape, it must be something else pretty bad.

So he either raped children or something else pretty fucking sketchy.

REMOVE THIS TRAITOR!!!

A significant chunk of American pop culture of the past decades is based on the premise that The Government is Hiding Something.

Trump's going to throw a big wrench in that by releasing fucking everything. Except a few things. A few great secrets.

I swear American pop culture in the coming century or so is just going to be The Government is Hiding The Epstein Files, over and over and over.

If you told me when I was a kid that the president of the US was going to drop info on aliens and no one would care ... I would have said you were insane. Really, I dont care ... lets see those Epstein files and get some arrests.

Is it me or are people just not that bothered about aliens, compared to in the 90s?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 23 points 1 month ago (10 children)

I was just thinking the same thing. Have we lost our curiosity?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think a big part of it is that people realized that aliens somehow only visit the united States. And then mainly the redneck states. Then people got curious again when, again, american pilots saw a bunch of aliens and they released the footage and it was... Mate, that's a bit of dust or a bird, that is just close to the camera, therefore it appears to move really fast. Glad they got the best of the best on it. Also the whole Bob Lazar shit. Which again, believe it or not, american well known bullshitter telling wild stories with no proof at all

[–] Klear@quokk.au 13 points 1 month ago

There's also the suspicious fact that alien photos/videos bacome less frequent now that everyone carries a camera everywhere. You know what kind of footage is now a LOT more frequent? Meteors. Last year there's been the first meteor impact captured on video with sound.

WHY ISN’T THIS CLOWN IN JAIL?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because Republicans in Congress and every single conservative voter have chosen to shield him from the consequences of his actions.

They are ALL traitors to our nation.

This is because he felt challenged by Obama. He has a pathological complex of inferiority against Obama.

Obama talks about classified files? Trump one-ups and gives the classified files.

Now Obama should need to talk about those Trump-Epstein files...

I mean his base is dumb enough to fall for this trick, so it will work perfect.

I really hate how the dept of education has been destroyed over the decades and now over 70% of the country is dumb as bricks.

This only adds another layer of reinforcement to my firm belief that he's done something that means that he should go to not only jail, but some kind of super-hell when he dies.

Good lord what a clown.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Of course he's quadrupling down and he'll keep on doubling down again and again because that's the only way he stays out of prison and it's the only way MAGA doesn't collapse, so everyone around him will continue to back him.

The only way this will end is if he dies or a bunch of folks finally use the second amendment right they've been so precious about that they let hundreds of school kids die each year for.

What a fucking disgrace.

Didn't they already try to do this before with the alien bullshit?

Between him and Obama pushing aliens it seems like America is just psyop at this point.
