It's a rhetorical question of course, but, really??

Congress to hold first public hearing on UFOs in 50 years, probe possible national security threat

The country is falling apart and Congress is wasting their time on fantasies?? This is incredibly stupid. There is no threat from "UFOs". My God!!

Keep their attention on the shiny object while they fleece their pockets.

I would like to think the UFOs will probe the national security threat called Congress.

Yea it'll be a cash cow. We need to raise your taxes to fight the aliens.

Sure, why not.
It's not THEIR $ that's being pissed away.

They've been trying hard enough to make sure that they are the only ones able to stick it in our asses. Now these Aliens come along and try and "probe" us? Yup, that's a threat!

They're part right, Aliens are a huge National Threat! But it's not the ones from space that need to be watched.

Can Congress get any stupider?

They'll take that as a challenge.

Just watch. Some Democrat Congressperson will come up with some proposal to trick Mister Mxyzptlk to say his name backwards, return to the fifth dimension, and the world will be saved.

My bet's on Sheila Jackson Lee.

Average price of gas is well over $4/gallon, inflation is crushing most Americans and this is the shit they’re concerned with?

Unreal. I have absolutely no patience for this UFO nonsense in even the best of times, and we are light-years away from that right now as a country.

Subpoena an anal probe expert!

They're not being stupid.

First thing I thought of when I heard about the hearings is, "Sure, inflation, crime, Ukraine. Let's trot out the UFOs to take away the public's focus.

I have to tell you- I am weary beyond weary of this.

This kind of thing- this "They're not being stupid. There's some kind of plan behind it" stuff started when Obama took office. Since then, I cannot recall a single time when the US government did something asinine, that this stuff didn't pop into a thread almost immediately. I am tired of it, and that is a monumental understatement. Really, there is no way for me to fully express how very tired I am of this inevitable response.

Believe it or not, as difficult as it is for some of you to accept, there really and truly and actually are people in government who are genuinely stupid and therefore do genuinely stupid things.

Let's make a deal- let's say that those of you who are inclined to go to "it's a distraction" as your default response to this kind of stuff, can still keep beating that dead horse, but you won't do it in any thread I create.

Deal?

HANLON'S RAZOR

OK Para I decided to open your link and find out what IDIOT would waste people’s time and money and low and behold it’s

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif

What an Effen moron!

Note to self: Apply for grant to see if Aliens are racist and transgendered.

Democrat majority in the House. Democrat majority in the Senate. Democrat President.

And they haven't managed to accomplish One. Damn. Useful. Thing.

Not a one.

And what pronouns are the aliens using? Any advanced civilization would take one look at our government and haul ass for home!

No, they're also real excited about sending another $40B in American dollars to Ukraine and welcoming every illegal in the world across the southern border of the US. More things that do nothing but hurt the the American public.

If there's ever been a contradiction of terms, that's it. The term 'Intelligence' should never show up anywhere near the name Schiff.

It could be the emissions from the UFO’s contributing to climate change, too much Hydrogen in the little green men, like greenhouse gasses.
