I LOVE how not a single person doesn't understand that this is all just about deflecting from the fact that Trump is being exposed as raping children.

Also attacking Iran is the same thing. Both have merits or risks to discuss, but the timing of everything is obviously to get the headlines about something else for a little while.

Guess what ICE agents who are reading this on Palantir's Foundry or Gotham platforms: Epstein isn't going away until Trump is either dead (from natural causes) or in a prison cell. It's only going to get worse and worse for this child rapist.

I really hope it doesn't go away even after Trump is dead or in prison. This goes so far beyond Trump, and it shouldn't ever go away. This should be a permanent addition to history books and nobody even remotely involved should ever escape its legacy.

Trump was then seen shouting "smoke bomb!" and attempting to dive-roll away. Had to change his shirt and clean the carpet after that: picture a toothpaste tube getting flattened by a steamroller and you'll have a reasonable approximation of what happened to his Depends.

Isn't this what literally every President has done since UFOs were brought into public consciousness when they wanted to distract the public? Like IMO, declassifying UFO files are basically the President's "I am openly distracting you" button.

Didn't he already do this to distract from another scandal?

How long is it since UFOs have been a thing?

Also, this is to distract from some other files, not sure if anyone will have heard of them though.

In pop culture since the late 1940s, but the idea of disc shaped spacecraft is older.

"The White House called. Asked to release the UFO files!"

"F##k.... again?? Smith, what do we have left?"

"General McRuff just sent this picture of a massive cylindrical object that.... "

"That's a dick pic, Smith"

This is so clearly, obviously, unashamedly a distraction. Part of me has to wonder if that whole interview where Obama mentioned it was just bait/a huge troll to see if orangeboi would pick it up and run with it.

Throw shit on the wall and see what sticks. In this case, try to splinter folks away from the Trump-Epstein-gate scandal.

Publicly acknowledged as real? Maybe 2 years. Fairly good evidence something was out there, maybe 30- 40 years. The evidence has been good enough to say something is out there, but it was never good enough to say it was more than highly probable. I remember being shocked when there was a Senate hearing about it a while back.

The idea that aliens might exist goes back a long time though. Here in the US, first major incident I remember was Roswell, back in the 1940's. There were depictions of strange things going back a lot longer though, vast majority of which can be explained by our modern understanding of science. Some though, not so much.

And yes, it is a distraction, but at this point I'd have to ask "From what?". Is this (aliens) important? Doesn't seem like it at the moment, there are bigger problems. Like the administration ignoring orders of both congress and judges. The Epstine files are one example , DHS's behavior is another.

Really? Because all I see on my FB feed and people I talk to is exactly that “he’s just trying to deflect from the Epstein files… why won’t he release those instead?”

Edit: you used a double negative and confused my reading comprehension

Don't worry. The intelligence sphere will cuck him again and only be able to release a couple clips of highly censored videos of UAP, then promise more, then forget all about it.

Joe Rogan loves aliens.

You can make good coin being an expert and attending workshops at the airport Holiday Inn.

There is only one country that obsesses about this. No, aliens have not visited the US, no, there are not alien spacecraft anywhere near earth.

The belief in aliens is an inverse correlation to science education.

Obama did not tell a podcaster aliens were real.

He said the probability of alien life is certain in an infinite universe. That doesn't mean they are flying around and raping cows, that just poor man's Epstein Island.

Why must it be natural causes? You need to stop being so negative.

He straight up told a podcaster aliens were real. The fact that he later clarified what he meant doesn't change the words he said.

Not to say he lying or anything, but politicians backtracking and changing the narrative to do damage control after a story goes viral is super common.

If there are aliens he would already mention them to distract from Epstein files, unless they are in the Epstein files.
