He just missed the most important ones: America First, improving the economy and end wars.

> understanding there's a huge issue with completeness about the Epstein files and largely against his will)

What does this mean? Can't the president declassify things by their own will? Like when Trump revealed extremely high resolution satellite imagery during a presentation? Didn't Trump himself say he can declassify stuff whenever he wants?

> Trump added to the confusion when he said in an interview with Fox personality Sean Hannity, “There doesn’t have to be a process, as I understand it. ... If you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified. Even by thinking about it.”

I personally like Trump as a president.

Unfortunately, that's not something one can openly say these days.

Lol at releasing all the Epstein files, what are you smoking? Those nothingburger promises were made to distract from supporting a pedophile-rapist.

No one get's ahead in DC without being an expert glazer, but now you want to complain about it?

He drinks.

These certainly have not been shown to be true. People have told stories alleging these are true, but they have for decades failed to substantiate them with evidence. All they've been able to do is tell wild fantasy stories and occasionally get a video or photo released that is laughably bad and does not support the story at all.

Which keeps happening, but the people who believe in alien visitation to Earth never seem to care that the alleged "evidence" keeps falling apart when it's actually released and scrutinized. They just move on to hyping up the next alleged evidence. It's honestly a cult dynamic at play here. Always reference to secret evidence and no epistemic adjustment after repeated cases of what they believed was evidence for their belief turning out to not be evidence for their belief. They never learn from all the past times they got scammed.

Want to point out some evidence for this?

I have dispassionately followed this topic for years and I am thoroughly familiar with all sides of the debate.

Nothing can be known for sure, but I'd say directionally we are moving closer to these conclusions over time, especially as more evidence is released.

It is understandable for most people to still be skeptical because this topic is probably one of the most well kept secrets (thanks to psyops, stigma, proximity to other high strangeness phenomenon) in human history.

Points 2-4 are entirely conjecture, though. If point 1 is even remotely true, then we lack the authority to decisively state that this phenomenon necessitates the existence of new control laws, flight dynamics or physics. We have no captured technology to speak of, you're making assumptions to explain the unknown.

> so we have to ask the question, why bother with SpaceX or even oil drilling

Because everyone with advanced access to this program knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that these UFO videos are a nothingburger and distraction from the DOJ's unreleased Epstein files.

To play Devil's advocate here, since I don't believe for a second that any of this is actually aliens - even knowing that alien life exists, much less intelligent life that's aware of us, fundamentally transforms the way we contextualize ourselves and the universe. And knowing that certain physics-defying technologies like faster than light travel, anti-gravity, etc. apparently exist would completely turn our existing scientific models on their heads.

You're right though, most people still have to go to work, and have other more pressing issues to deal with. I'm reminded that many Americans are convinced that we've already been through two alien invasions (the "New Jersey drone" sightings last year and the "Chinese spy balloon" incident in 2023, both of which were strongly wrapped up into the UFO conspiracy narrative) and that the US government has confirmed, officially and on record, that aliens are real and UFOs are alien spacecraft (they've done nothing of the sort.) Yet there isn't panic in the streets. People compartmentalize and move on with their lives if it doesn't affect them personally.

People still had to go to work when Einstein discovered relativity, but that still mattered in the long run. If any of this were true, in the sense of being actually aliens, it would still matter.

Even if the truth is just that are apparently physics defying craft that the government is aware of but doesn't know where they come from, and all of the rest of the UFO and conspiracy stuff is nonsense, it's just weird shit in the sky that's definitely actually there, that's still interesting.

I have to agree with the sibling comment. I don't think there are aliens in the universe or the galaxy but don't you think if there was some clear evidence that they exist and that we are not alone in the universe wouldn't just be massive news? You're talking about some practical concerns and I get it but you're still living better than 90% of people on Earth even with $5/gal gas ... if you have a job that is potentially being replaced by AI, I would assume an extra 2 dollars per gallon, let's call it $40-$80 a month, is that really breaking the bank here? Also, the potential of extra-terrestrial life vs the Epstein files that apparently nobody cared about under Biden, really?

I don’t like PDFs either but adding that format to your list is a little extreme.
